Who should of mainevented WM27 The Miz or CM Punk or Barrett

For the sake of arguement, Cena has to be in the main event of WM27 and can't be excluded from the main event. Who should of faced Cena for the WWE Championship at the main event. I would argue that Barrett should of won the WWE Championship in December, Cena makes his return from being fired winning The Rumble and beating Barrett for the main event of Wrestlemania while setting up a feud with The Rock later on. I'm a fan of epic long blood feuds that end in the biggest show possible that should of been a no brainier for me. Other than that I would argue The Miz deserved the main event spot more than CM Punk during that year

Should Have!!!!

Barrett. Punk should have main evented 29 in a triple threat with Cena and Rock.

Miz was perfect for that spot. Barrett tends to suck and Punk would have been overshadowed which would have been criminal which leaves Miz. Miz was perfect as that little fruit fly that annoys the shit out of you while bigger problems are at hand.

without 0 doubt that the answer is Punk , same goes for wm 29

[xCompackx]

I don't have a problem with Miz main eventing 27. I can appreciate Punk's desire to main event a WrestleMania, but 2011 wasn't particularly eventful for him until the whole "Summer of Punk" thing started.

None, it should've been Rock vs Cena 1.

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

Do people remember how terrible New Nexus Punk was? Mason f***ing Ryan as his hoss? Miz all day.

The story should've been Cena finally vanquishing the Nexus by winning the WWE title from Barrett at WM27. The night afterwards, Miz cashes-in successfully and the hunt begins again.

After The Rock rock bottoms Cena

It depends on when we're deciding. Obviously as a talent, Punk is head and shoulders above the other two. However, at the time he was kind of just there. Barrett, if booked better would have made sense, but he had already lost to Cena about a million times by then. So, Miz wins by default. If you're asking me six months before Mania I would pick Punk. If I could book the Nexus angle better and keep Barrett strong, you go with him. It's all relative.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Other: get Cena vs. Rock out of the way so it isn't overshadowing everything for a year and do Miz vs John Morrison for the title.

Barrett would have made the most sense, but both he and Nexus had been dead in the water since the previous September. There was never any chance of them stretching the Nexus storyline out until Mania.

Punk spent the previous year having the Straight Edge Society single-handedly demolished by Mysterio and then Big Show in successive feuds, tapping out to Cena in a throwaway Raw match inside 90 seconds, before spending a couple of months injured and doing snarky commentary. Then he took over the Nexus, which was already a spent force, and immediately lost its only three semi-credible members in Barrett, Gabriel, and Slater.

Miz, on the other hand, had spent the previous year winning multiple titles, having entertaining feuds, and getting tremendous heel heat all around the country. Regardless of people's opinions of his talent, he was the hottest heel in the company by a very long way and absolutely deserving of his spot in the main event.

To be frank, Punk was lucky to even be on the card at Mania 27, never mind main eventing the damn thing. The only reason he was on the card was because Orton was too big a name to leave off it and they didn't have anybody else to feed to him.

Miz was the most logical choice. There might be better, more talented guys who could have that spot but if we`re talking perfect world booking you could argue anyone in that spot. In terms of who was hot at the time, Miz was hotter than hot.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

In the context of how things actually played out, Miz was the right choice. However, in the context of what I'd consider to have been the ideal booking over the preceding months, I'd have gone with Barrett.

The Nexus angle is one of the only ones that I'd actually attempted to write down some long-term fantasy booking for back in the day, and the only thing I'd really outlined was how Cena would win the Rumble despite losing his job at Survivor Series (instead of it being by not helping Barrett win the WWE Championship, it'd have been by losing a title match to Barrett, who'd have won it in the Six Pack Challenge at Night Of Champions), and that was through a US Masters-esque lifetime privilege for former winners... Which would be that they are entitled to enter the match as a discretionary wildcard if they desired. And with the entry numbers being upped to 40 that year, Cena would have been allowed in to enter and subsequently win the match. Thus, the WrestleMania title match would be to get the title and his job back.

[Chiral]

I hate it when WWE ends a bunch of storylines around December then has a slapped together Wrestlemania build up...it's like why not let this storyline go a little longer? Nexus should have stayed strong through to Wrestlemania 27 and Barrett should have been in the main event.

Rock should not even be there at all.

It should have been Cena ending Punk's long reign, putting the end to a two year program in which Punk always got the better of Cena.

[Rolent Tex]

It should have been Barrett if they didn't piss all over his heat by Mania. D-Bry turns on Team WWE, eventually wins the US Title from Miz and Barrett wins the WWE Title at SS although Cena calls the match fairly. Cena is fired anyways because Barrett is a dick.

Rematch happens on Raw and Miz tries to cash in as before but Alex Riley turns on him showing his true Nexus colors. Vince returns at the Rumble to announce Cena being in the match, he wins and beats on all of Nexus but Bryan and Barrett leading to Mania. He doesn't lay a single finger on Barrett til Mania. The pop for that epic asskicking would be huge. (Miz also beats Bryan for the US Title, planting seeds of dissent since Wade is only preoccupied with his own title. Bryan pulls a Perry Saturn at the next PPV and kicks Barrett's head off to help Cena win the rematch while Nexus chases the traitor.)

[KobashiChop]

Should've been Cena vs Barrett. Barrett should've won the belt at Survivor Series, Cena gets exiled by the rest of the roster and goes into a 1996 Sting kind of position where he is consistently a thorn in the side of the Nexus.

He spends the time from SS to the Rumble consistently trying to win back the trust and friendship of the roster after Barrett got the belt. He enters the Rumble around 5-15 consistently finding himself being attacked by other roster members. However he keeps coming to their aid when Nexus members are ganging up on them, and you build to a final two of Cena vs Zeke (the Corre and Nexus are all together, Corre never happened. Nexus just expanded), as Barretts plan was to give a Nexus member a shot at Mania just for them to lie down.

The rest of Nexus surround the ring and attack Cena. A good 8-10 babyfaces rush the ring and fight off Nexus. Cena beats Zeke setting up the huge rematch from what was such an amazing match at HIAC 2010.
