IT MEANS ROCK/CENA 2 IS HAPPENING YOU DOOFUS
He probably will. He'll cut a promo about how this belt is a symbol of John Cena's success and he wants this belt to be a belt that symbolizes "The Pepople".

Well yeah, the long term planning leaves a lot to be deired. But lik it or not, Cena is still top dog, and he isn't passing the torch yet. Cena vs. Rock just makes sense for business. It's not something I get upset about as long as other people get the chance to be stars too.
Wrestling's been dead for years. You've been watching a festering corpse.

CM Punk isn't one of the most popular stars in the company? When did this happen?

Sorry quit watching WWE/TNA and just read spoilers and look up memorable moments for gifs.
Shit is just damn stupid.

Punk's giant title reign isn't used to put over any young guy, he doesn't get to headline WM, or debut a new belt, or win a Rumble, nope, it's all used to put Cena over.
Vince needs to get out of the company. He's killing it dead and has been for years and years. It's so damn huge that it takes a long time to kill, but he's doing his best.

He's also going to debut a new theme and turn heel.
Passing the torch hasn't been around since the Undertaker made undefeated streaks important.

I'm glad I was at DGUSA and Davis vs Gargano No rope was amazing.
I hope it's at least a 3-way at WMXXIX

You may be mad, but this is the best thing for business. WM is used to attract casuals, and nothing will attract them more than Rock being the WWE champion again. I don't like it either, but it's true. WM season isn't about creating new stars anymore, it's just about a payday for old guys.
Yea, but it's WWE. :x

I truly thought they wouldn't be so predictable.
But personally, I stopped caring in 2005, got a little hope in 2011, and stopped caring again since.

what the point if rock wont stay around after WM? why bring people in just to see them go?

You make it sound like predictability is inherently bad. Just cos we're smart enough to the business to know they'll do Cena vs. Rock isn't a good enough reason to not o it. Wrestlemania's purpose is to make a shitload of money out of people who don't even watch Raw all that often.
Punk is a star, or as close to one as WWE has outside Cena. He's not going away.

Problem with WWE booking is this years Mania could conceivably be:
Rock/Cena
HHH/Brock
Taker/Jobber
That's three matches before you even start thinking about the guys on the road 300+ days of the year. It really isn't fair to those guys.
Rock/Cena
HHH/Brock
Taker/Jobber
That's three matches before you even start thinking about the guys on the road 300+ days of the year. It really isn't fair to those guys.
The point is to get a lot of people to buy WM. If they leave afterwards, oh well. That's been WWE's business model for years, and it's what saves their profit statements.

Can they both laugh at Punk while they're at it?

Rock winning the title, buries the whole roster.
Punk beat everyone who faced them only to loose to a part time movie star. way to sell me on your product vince!

When has the WWE ever been fair to the guys working the most? Or the people who work in general?

People in this thread make it sound like he's never going to be champion again. That's just complete stupidity.
Look at it this way guys. If the WWE had no faith in CM Punk they wouldn't have given him a year long reign. Just because he lost to the Rock doesn't mean he's gone tomorrow never to be heard from again.

And those matches are the reason WM gets a million buys and everyone else on the card gets a substantially larger payday than they ever get normally. If WM was just NoC's cards nobody would be getting the same money.
You actually think people see it that way? Sweet jesus.

Oh, they haven't. But it is definitely bullshit how older guys can just waltz in to a main event match at WM because WWE can't be arsed to pull the trigger on anyone.

Punk dominated Rock for the match. He's not some jobber who looks like shit.

How many times have you seen people talk about how the Attitude Era is better than the current day wrestlers?
Exactly. Of course people see it that way.

Predictability is fine, but the execution is terrible. Could that entire ending sequence been any worse?

Funny PPV, all of my predictions came true. Looks like PhoenixAzure is getting a Batista avatar!

Yeah, Rock could have just won clean. As it is Punk gets a reason to act outraged. That's why it happened.
And that is why you would use The Rock to sell tickets. What, they should have gotten him to lose like they did with Brock?
I can get that, sure. Rock being champ, sure. It might even be fun at times.
But going over Punk's reign, and all for the end game of Cenawinslol? Couldn't be more lame.
We both won our avatar bets...hooray for a predictable PPV.

Would you rather have Cena end Punk's reign?

I found it entertaining and fun to cheer for Cena for once.
