I really hope he beats Rock. I want him to hold it until Mania.

It's more and more obvious that Dewey Johnson is going to end the fun at the Royal Rumble, sorry to say. No its not.

What I'm hoping for is CM Punk loses the title to the Rock. Daniel Bryan wins the Royal Rumble and goes on to defeat the Rock at Wrestlemania for his first ever WWE title.

Bryan could use it. Bryan has way more to gain from beating Rock than Punk. Punk has more to gain from beating Rock than Cena though but thats really not saying much. Bryan is a legit example of someone who could use a rub from Rock.

If Ryback wasn't so limited in the ring I think he would be the perfect guy to end the reign at Mania. I still think Kofi should be the guy but we'll see.

If he gets to Mania, I think that will make him the new lowest "we're never getting a reign this long again" champion.

I honestly don't know why people think his reign is so bad!I personally loved it and i hope they use it to give the rub to someone(probably Ryback) at Wrestlemania

His year long celebration drew a 2.87 to close the show or worse than Ryback vs. Tensai part 4 or 5 which drew a 2.91!

How are people not bored by one wrestler holding the title for so long?

How are people not bored by one wrestler holding the title for so long? Because long reigns by definition are not boring. Short reigns are also by definition not boring. Its all in the booking, and so far the quality of Punk's matches have made this a great reign.

CM Punk's ungodly long title reign is a prime example of why someone should not hold any title for as long as he has. Speaking for myself...he's just so dull and boring and he's killing any interest I have as a viewer in watching Raw.
A champion shouldn't make me as a viewer want to either change the channel when he's on screen or considering stop watching all together. He should be giving me a reason to tune in and CM Punk isn't doing that. What's worse for me as a viewer is they've placed him with one of the most pointless characters ever in my opinion...Paul Heyman which is like double torture to me.
Having said all that...they need to take the belt off him much sooner than later. CM Punk's title reign is just awful and is absolutely killing my interest in WWE programming.
This is just my 2 cents on his 365+ days reign.

How are people not bored by one wrestler holding the title for so long? Punk marks. Though he has had some good matches here and there, his character has been so-so, and the booking of the guy can get boring. So I see the arguments from both sides. His reign isnt making him any worse or better. Its just a number to me, feels like a mid card run. WWE really should have made the guy this important the entire way. Not just now so he seems like a big deal Rumble time. Going to be funny seeing Punk all of a sudden lose his cowardly ways when Rock comes back. At the same time, Im glad because a cowardly Punk vs Rock build up would be pretty bad.

Me personally, I love long title runs where people are trying their damnedest to get the belt off someone. Now I do prefer it to be on a heel so since he turned heel I want him to go longer than before. When he was a face, I could have seen him drop it at anytime after the Jericho feud to just about any main eventer other than Cena (only because I would want to see Punk become the hunter mind you and I didn't see that happening with Cena) and been satisfied.
To me this is wrestling. I want to see either how Punk will retain or who they deem worthy enough to end it and how. I am looking forward to see who will be the Cena to his JBL, the Batista to his Triple H or the Sting to his Flair. Maybe it'll be Ryback or maybe it's new face Miz or maybe its someone we wouldn't think of.

Dont think its happening though. Plus, simply beating Punk isnt going to make anyone like the examples Ric listed. It needs to be a lengthy thing and something like that can happen from more than just ending a reign.
