They don't want to see a face dominate the heels week after week then get the duke at WM. It's completely anti-climactic.

Hell, even look at the way Cena was booked during his longest push. He'd get his ass whipped for three weeks, then win at the PPV. In fact, for all the bitching about Cena, he took the fall at Mania, took one at Backlash, jobbed clean to ****ing JBL, to Batista, and let HHH get his pin back. Then, he goes out clean in the Elimination Chamber.
On the other hand, you've got Trips, who gets in an altercation with several guys, then whips their ass with the help of Londrick, and then decides to kick-hook-Pedigree them. What is the point of that? How does that help anyone but Triple H?
Hell, last year at the Raw before 'Mania, Orton tapped out in the middle of the ring to a 300 year old Ric Flair. I'm trying to imagine Evolution-era H doing that...yeah, no.
