...have lasted in "the old days"?
Just thinking on it now when both Punk and Cena had legit belts, it just seemed to go by in 2 episodes of RAW. I could have sworn something like that was going to last for months on end, or at the very least somewhat longer then it was.
Would it have lasted longer in the Attitude or earlier eras?

I think the Summer Slam ppv being so close is what screwed them on making the rematch happen so quickly. A lot of cool things could have been done if it hadn't been right around the corner.

If it had been the AE they would have been vacated, Mae Young would have stolen them, Crash Holly slept with them and somehow Stone Cold would've screwed Vince and a face would've ended up with the title all in one night. And I love the AE, but the crash-tv style booking would've led to that. I can't speak for earlier generations as I didn't start watching until '97.

^ True on Attitude Era. If it was the 80's it would've lasted till WrestleMania.

They should have extended the tournament end until the week before SummerSlam, then have Rey win. Cena/Rey at SummerSlam would have sold buckets of cash for the kiddies. Punk returns as soon as Cena beats Rey.
During that time, Punk's still popping up at different events and places, mostly viral stuff.

A lot longer before the mid 90's. Then again, there wasn't 13 PPV's a year.

In the 80's, they probably would have stretched it to Rumble or so. In the 90s, it would have lasted the show. Now, it lasts 2 weeks and people think it's an eternity for an angle to play out.

I still think there was serious mileage to get out of a Mysterio vs Cena match at Summerslam.
