You don't want Jericho winning the strip at mania. You want him winning it Sunday and then have Punk win it back at mania in a career-making moment. If the idea is making him one of the faces of the company moving forward (which it appears to be). You have months of build with Jericho holding the belt in his face, talking about being the best in the world, and then Punk wins in the end.

Ziggler now is where Punk was a couple years back. You don't give him the ball yet, you build him for another year or two. At least that's the way they do things. You certainly don't have him lose a bunch and then just suddenly give him a mania match, which they're doing right now (jobbing him out a lot I mean). To move forward with him, I'd say give him money in the bank and then push him stronger over the next few months. He did okay working the main event with Punk, but it's going to take the crowd a while to get into him (same as it did with Punk, he was only over with the hardcores for a long time).

I don't think Kofi is ever going to get to that level. He's not a very good talker and while he's athletic as hell, he's just not a very good worker. I can't believe how bad he looked in the match with Jericho tonight.

The talk is still that they're going to have Cena go over Rock at mania. I don't know how in the world they expect to get away with that in Miami. And everything they're doing is (in their minds, at least...) designed to get Cena over. I loved tonight, though, when the crowd was chanting "we all hate you". That Florida crowd is going to riot if he wins. They're so terrified of turning Cena because of his merch sales (and maybe there's a contractual thing with Hasbro, I don't know) that they're going to cost themselves in the long run. This feud could write itself if they'd let it. Turn him back immediately after Mania if you have to, but christ, the audience hates him at this point, and they're going to risk turning the crowd against the Rock, too, even in Miami, as crazy as that sounds. Cena's just going to kill this feud if they keep doing it the hogan superface way.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out starting next Monday when Rock returns.
