Truthfully, I think I'd rather see Punk job to Taker rather than be in a Triple Threat match. Yeah, he'd technically be in the main event, but it'd be as a throw-in just so he can take the pin from Cena. Punk deserves better than that. Not that jobbing in a singles match is much better, but still. I guess I just hate the idea of him being a throw-in to the main event rather than letting him have the spotlight one of these years.

I'm just tired of the whole show right now. It's predictable, I'm disinterested already, and I already know I'm not buying Mania. Did they really try to tease Mark Henry vs. Khali? Because that might be the worst Mania match of all time if it goes down.

Oh, and that belt is lame. Not much of an upgrade to the spinning piece of trash, if it's an upgrade at all. Kinda glad they didn't have Punk unveil it (or am I the only one who remembers his "That belt has been far too ugly for far too long" line?) like he wanted to awhile ago.

*sigh* Guess I'll go back & re-watch MITB '11 & remember what it was like when wrestling was fun for a few weeks....

Yep. He's not playing a tweener at all. Straight heel. Hell, he straight-up buries the audience just about every week.

That's how they can do a third rock/cena match next year. Have punk take the pin in this year's. Then supercena gets to pin rock next year.

(I think this is more about Taker not being able to go than it is about that, though.)

I'm with you, although where they go with the Shield (I thought for sure they'd lose tonight) and how they set up Lesnar/HHH can make a difference.

It went further than that. There's pictures of punk with a new belt from 6 or 8 months ago.

Oh God, I didn't even think about another ****ing Rock-Cena match...

I like what they're doing with Shield, which is why I'm fully expecting them to get their asses handed to them at Mania & buried shortly thereafter.

Hadn't seen/heard about the pictures. I just feel like Punk's put so much into his work over the last couple years & still has to watch Rock & Cena get everything handed to them. Again. Rock unveiling the new belt is just a small example of it IMO. Although I'm one of the biggest Punk marks ever, so I'm admittedly biased.

Don't like new belt at all, even though I wanted a new one bad. I also agree punk has tried to get the fans off of him.

I like the new belt.

The best belt ever IMO was Stone Cold's or the nWo spraypainting their belt.

when you change the belt you lose the tradition and legacy that comes with the belt.

Just keep this:



and this:



and be done with it

Austins was cool. I don't mind the black background but the size of the middle and its shape is too big. And seeing that logo makes it worse.

I'm getting worried taker isn't showing up.

Talk about legacy and history...don't forget THIS:



The NWA belt used when Harley Race, Ric Flair, Dusy Rhodes, etc., were in their prime.

But I don't think he is all that successful in doing that.

The problem is that so many people hate Cena that him and Cena fighting doesn't really make him a heel. Real heels have the majority hating them and the people cheering for the "good guy"...there really is no clear "good guy" in their battle. Listen to the crowd....even when Punk berates them they still love it.

[Sassy Squatch]

Not really Punks fault. People just hate Cena that much.

Your problem is with WWE, not Punk. They don't want him to play a Stone Cold like tweener.

You know what, take crowd reactions out of the picture entirely. That there are smarks who will cheer Punk regardless doesn't mean he's not playing the WWE heel style (i.e., a coward) to near perfection. Moreover, the crowds are idiots. Look at how much they cheer guys like Sheamus and Cena (well, the half of the crowd that is passionately pro-Cena), who often do not act like good guys. They will beat people up from behind. Sheamus is frequently racist, and Cena is a misogynist (just like The Rock), but they get cheered.

Exactly. We're talking about crowds that for whatever reason cheer "feed me more" for the special-needs Goldberg. Calling them idiots is kind.
