I'm really hoping this ends tonight. This day and age a title run has no business being a year long. And why is that It's just dull. You get this sense that nothing is actually happening of substance, and there are so few challengers today you get the same few title defenses over and over again. Not saying the title should change hands every month, but a year is just far too long. Especially since I thought this particular title reign sucked even when it was half the length it is now. There is too much TV time today to keep something at a status quo for a full year. That and the status quo of every World title match ending in, "White Noise, fist pound, Brogue Kick," are big parts of why I've barely watched this year and haven't done so since July, but if Ryback wins the title, I'll at least watch Raw tomorrow.

At this point, it's become a spectacle in and of itself to see if Punk will actually make it to 365 (and then make it to the Rumble) more than any actual angle. That kind of backdrop has VASTLY increased interest in things like the Ryback feud, which without the idea that a Ryback win would snuff out a reign that's JUST about to hit a full year, with everyone watching to see if CM Punk of all people can actually do it, wouldn't even be half as compelling.

There is too much TV time today to keep something at a status quo for a full year. That's the mindset where bad booking can be used just to "change things up." A year long reign isn't the status quo when it's being presenting as the top title in the compnay and the wrestler holding the best is know as a legit champion. To me, I would have Punk win CLEAN, but hey let's change the title where hijinks and shenanigans can occur lead to a possible clusterf**k that only Russo can love.

This wouldn't be hard to make work, even if you want to do a Rock / Cena rematch or Rock / Punk. Have Ryback win the title, clean preferably but you could have Cena help him fight off some interference if you want to make Punk look a bit stronger or whatever. Ryback defends against whoever at Survivor Series while Cena and Punk could have their big showdown, then do a triple threat Table, Ladder, or TLC match the next month where Ryback can lose the title without being pinned. Hell, you could throw in whoever his Mania opponent's going to be to lead him off from ringside for that if you really want to keep him strong - just throw in something where Ryback attacks the guy for no reason a few weeks beforehand and bam, you have your set-up and it makes sense. It makes no sense to blow a title reign that's gone on as long as this has on the top star in the company or on an actor who wrestles two times a year. At least use it to make a star so that the thing has a point.

I didn't think it was possible to be enraged by the end of a show that I wasn't even watching. It should have ended tonight. Or eight months ago.

How long will Punk hold on to the title? Until Rock comes into the picture, at any rate.

I wish I could be happy but we all know he is keeping the belt warm for Cena/Rock 2 at WM... I only look forward to him or D-Bry winning it and having a 4 month feud but I won't hold my breath.....

And lets be honest, I think NO ONE saw this one year ago, Punk holding the title from one Survivor Series to another.
