Total and utter indifference, Cena is going to be champion untill he beats hogan's record, and possibly Bruno's.

Eh, I've given up caring about who has the John Cena Spinner Belt anymore. I'm more into the midcard events.

And as I see it, fan indifference is actually WORSE than if they were either pissed or pleased as punch. When you push a guy as such a superman that you just make fans plain not care, you've done a great disservice to your product. WRESTLING BOOKING 101, WWE: Your top face is at his best when he has a stong foil, one that can, and many times does, take his title away. Example 1: Steve Austin and Vince McMahon. Austin lost the belt several times due to Vince's meddling, and was never hotter than when he was chasing his World Title. Example 2: Sting and Ric Flair. Sting NEVER had bigger face pops than when he was chasing the dastardly Nature Boy hoping to become World Champion. Same with Sting/Vader and Sting/Rude. You see, it's when the face is booked as Superman that things get boring. And when even Doomsday (Umaga) can't beat Superman (Cena) then you've really screwed things up. What point is there in watching or investing time in a product where not only do youknow the outcome, but you can predict EXACTLY how it's going to happen 95% of the time? Just my two cents. Which explains why business was so huge when Hogan had the title for over 4 years and was still getting huge pops through his whole run.

I'm past the point of caring anymore. I just don't have it in me all my hatred towards the character does me no good so I just concentrate all my energy at more entertaining aspects of raw now.

thats cuz he's hogan and back then people thought differently. Then seeing wrestling was like watching an old spiderman cartoon. Back then they thought it was amazing... now it sucks. (no offense to old spiderman cartoons) back then they thought their hero having the belt forever was a good thing. Now we know better and wish for a change

Indifferent. I'm not a fan of either Orton or Cena, so I likely won't even watch the match.

It be real cool and I want it to happen. But a brightside to him losing would mean HHH would be the one beating Cena for the title...

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest, I simply don't give a damn anymore. I'm actually more interested in Khali/Batista... seriously.

I've been waiting for him to lose the damn thing since he won it off JBL.

I'll be indifferent/glad. I can't stand Cena but he's not as bad as Randy, who I haven't liked since his IC title run. Just so you know, it looks like Ric and Khali are naked in your sig and Khali is forcing Ric to perform oral sex I'm going to have nightmares about that for the rest of my life now.

I think he's exceptional, so I don't want him to lose the title... however, I like Orton too, so it's win/win.

I'm an 80's fan and a 90's fan, not really a Cena fan though.
I thought he was ok during his mid card run on Smackdown. Didn't mind him winning the title the first time he did it. But I thought it was gonna be a short reign and not what it has come to be.
I also understand that he is good for business, but they have too many talented people to the point where having Cena this long as champ is what is really insulting our intelligence.
I'm not the biggest Orton fan either, but he has been built up nicely enough to be the man that gets the belt. So i'd say I hope he wins to switch up the redundancy that is Raw.
Edit: I forgot, I'd be indifferent.
But we all know that if Orton wins the belt, that other guy is gonna end up with it.

Meh. Indifferent.
This time, ten years ago, it was Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs. The Undertaker for the WWF Championship, with special guest referee, Shawn Michaels. Added stipulation was, if Bret lost, he retires. How time flies!

I would be majorly mad because this'll be the only wrestling PPV I buy for the forseeable future, partly because I heard he was dropping the title.

I'm kind of used to him retaining now. Although I will always hate the gigantic picture on the WWE website after the match. Its always either him with his opponent in the FU, tapping to the STFU, or him holding the belt up grinning.

Orton has been beating the crap out of Cena for weeks.
There's no way he beats up Cena, then wins at SS as well.
I don't see any way Cena doesn't retain.
You know, beating the odds and all of that.
