2. If Cena was shut out of the main event for eight straight PPVs while holding the WWE title, people would be pissed. Saying otherwise is just a Strawman, since he has never had that kind of streak or anything even close to it as champ. If Cena was shut out of the main event for eight straight PPVs period, WWE title or not, people would be pissed. That's why they won't do it. Could Punk have main evented a couple pay-per-views? Sure. I don't argue that. But between he and Cena, WWE sees Cena as the more marketable star and thus, more often that not, he gets the top spot. It's nothing new. If anything Punk should be complaining about his opponents |

I don't care what anyone says, there is no excuse for Cena/Laurinaitis being the main event of a PPV. It was the equivalent of Cole/Lawler main eventing a PPV, people paid their hard earned money to watch PPV caliber matches, and Cena/Laurinaitis was not a quality match. It has forever officially replaced Angle/Henry at RR 2006 as the least deserving main event ever. Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon once ME's a PPV. How many five star matches had Vince ever participated in? |

How many five star matches had Vince ever participated in? There's a clear difference between Austin/McMahon, which at that point had two or nearly two years of build-up to that cage match vs Cena/Laurinaitis, which had a half-hearted build up since December of that previous year. Plus, both were to set up the next month's PPV. One was a WrestleMania main event between who would become the two biggest stars of that era. The other was Cena/Show in a cage. |

As I said earlier, a WWE.com poll, as well as other insiders have clearly shown that most people paid to see OTL to see Laurinaitis get his ass kicked. It ended the show because A. the Bryan/Punk feud had no storyline and garnered a LOSS in viewers a couple weeks before the show in the main event segment, something that hadn't happened in 15 years; B. They wanted to end the show with the last image being Laurinaitis staying in charge and Big Show screwing everyone over. |

Ace/Cena was an awful feud where Cena yanked the heat Punk had with an evil authority figure, and had a half baked comedy match with him. |

THere's no reason Ace couldn't have at least been competetive in the match |

It should've been Punk that got Ace canned, instead of Cena.

And as Punk is the villain, that's a good thing. Everything in wrestling can't be about "legitamicy", sometimes it's just more fun to see an arrogant primadonna get put in their place. Punk's legacy will easily survive Cena's remarks, and it'll survive a (hopeful) Cena win at NoC. But he SHOULDN'T be the villain. They were supposed to establish him as maybe the next top guy last Summer, the guy who could actually be above Cena. With him losing to Cena, it would just establish that he can't be and no one is ever really gonna be above Cena at this point in time, despite how unbelievably stale he has become. Yeah but I think ambiguity actually serves both of them better and even freshens up Cena. Thisis how I'd book it. Cena beats punk at NoC (either barely or by Shenanigans) Cena Loses to Rock at the Rumble Punk wins the Rumble (or if a SD guy does Gets the Title Shot at WM via The Elimination Chamber while Cena loses his Rematch to the Rock at EC) Punk then Does what Cena couldn't do in 2 (or 3) tries and Beats The Rock at Wrestlemania. Cena/Punk could be a generation defining feud Kind of like Austin/Rock. |

And this has gone the complete opposite of what I intended this thread to be, so we're wrapping it up.
