Good point, but i do think Rock was better this time around and it was more of a mix of him getting tired + selling. I think Rock will be in much better Mania shape since by that time he'll have had a lot more training and another match under his belt.
I think he'll be better by then too and he'll need to be. Since Punk can work in more ground and submission moves, he gave Rock time to get his wind back. By having him and Punk again at EC, I think that kills any chance of them doing a triple threat match.
If I had my way, Rock and Cena 2 would go at EC with Cena losing, and Punk gets his rematch at Mania with Cena doing the job to Taker.
It won't matter who's working backstage because Vince already has his mind made up on what a promo has to sound like, have you noticed how odd his promos have become? It use to be a joke but now he does come off like a senile old man at this point
The fact that he still thinks the Santino schtick is funny is proof of his senility to me. And when he came out doing that fucking walk!!
edit
When did Paul Heyman start working for WWE in the first place? He was the official advisor to Brock Lesnar and now the unofficial/official advisor to CM Punk, how is he subject to termination by Vince McMahon, who I seem to remember was stripped of his powers by the "Board" and HHH?
Punk is better when he sticks to selling a story because truth be told when he starts talking about low level guys and backstage politics the masses don't give a shit. They cheer because they think it's cool yet when those aforementioned guys were being featured they got very little if any reactions.
They cheer because Punk just said on national tv what they believe but those guys get little reaction because we already know how it ends for them.
As for GOAT Rock is my new age pick but Savage has always been my personal favorite because he was a great face & heel, i mean he made the graduation song seem cool
.
Can't go wrong with Randy Savage. He mumbled and his promos were insane and intense at the same damn time but the dude was great. I hate he died before he could get inducted in the HoF.
Cena is one of those guys that need to be scripted because he tends to lose focus when he tries to wing it. Look at his "Star Wars" and "Royal Rumble" promos as prime examples, you could've put SCSA Rock HHH & Flair(not the Flair we saw on the 20th anniversary Raw)and they would've put their own special spin on those promos. I just hate that a belt that looks like it was made by mattel is considered the #1 belt, whereas the classic B.G.B is seen as secondary. I would've made that belt the #1 title but if not that then at least bring back the 02-05 undisputed title.
The BGB is probably still seen as WCW/NWA's belt on some level. It was the number one title when HHH had it but when Batista beat him, they shifted him over to SD and that's been it.
I like the way TNA handles Jeff Hardy and his weird looking personalized belt. They only use it when Jeff's the champ.
The undisputed belt is still among my all time favorite belts designs. They were stupid to get rid of that.
As bad as it is for Del Rio, I actually feel bad for Ziggler, he's basically going to either cash in that MITB very, very soon and drop it at the Elimination Chamber or they might not have him cash it in until Wrestlemania
I hope he does it at Mania where they can undo some of the damage they've inflicted on him. If they keep Orton face for his match with Sheamus (who's going to beat Alberto?) then I guess that's a time for him to cash it in.
This shit is taking forever. If they didn't have him running out every other week and
nearly cashing it in, it wouldn't seem so drawn out.
