It was like they were teasing what they COULD do, and what a good amount of the fans want (Ziggler unifying the titles for example), but then did their super safe, non risk booking that they have done for years because they have no competition. ^^^ This

To the people that are bitching:
I understand your mad, and you may not find it entertaining. But, Vince is going to book the thing that is going to make him the most money. He's going to put the biggest star's against each other. Rock/Cena II is a big time money match, and it drew like hell last year. It makes sense for them to do it again.

First time in years I've lost interest leading up to WM. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Rock/Cena main events I will not buy. No desire whatsoever to see this feud again. It was awful the first time and there's nothing left to do with it except give Cena his win back. So freaking stupid. Who the f*** wants to see this?

Hey I'm fine with it. They believe it will make big money, and I'm sure it will. I on the other hand get to save time by hitting the 5 minute skip button on my remote multiple times during this buildup I don't want to see.

John Cena should be booked strong, because he's the top face so when he's finally beaten it makes the person who beat him look really good. Therein is the issue. He's not universally top face. He's top face to only one half, while top heel to the other. And by proxy, the people who dislike him get far fewer payoffs. So ergo, him beating Rocky at Mania, regardless of it being the right move, will be greeted horribly. WWE, by their booking, alienates one half of their fanbase no matter what they do when it comes to Cena. It was kind of cool for awhile, but it's gotten quite old now. They should either fix what's glaringly wrong with his character, or just turn him altogether. It'd be nice to see a WM end where the hero gets showered with love and adoration for vanquishing the odds. Not booed out of the building for the same exact act.

Fans already got the result they wanted last year. And what they'll get this year will not be appealing to the lapsed and returning contingent who --along with one half of the current audience -- paid to see Rock win. Rock vs Brock would do better numbers, I'm convinced of it.

In Vince's world, Rock vs. Cena II is warm and safe. Like a Snuggie. Dolph Ziggler unifying the titles is scary and dangerous. Like Nailz strangling you with a Snuggie.

I don't mind Cena/Rock II. I just wish they didn't have to sacrifice Punk's reign to set it up.

Who the hell ever thought of Ziggler unifying the titles? This has been brought up all the damn time on this forum... as has Ziggler cashing in on Punk/Rock/and Cena despite them always explicitly stating that his Money In The Bank is for the World Heavyweight Championship.

I won't lie, I saw them talking about unifying the titles as a slight jab at the "IWC smarks" who seemingly want the same. Partly why I haven't been a big fan of Ziggler's promo work lately, it sounds like pandering until you realize that he's supposed to be the heel. I just had the thought that Cena/Rock II is a placeholder in it's own right. To me, there's only one big WrestleMania main event left with the roster as it is, and that's Cena vs the Undertaker, and that's better suited to WrestleMania 30. Or, they can have Taker enter the Elimination Chamber and win a title this year, putting Cena in a tricky situation.

f*** it, I find the Rock being Champion exciting. I could care less about a feud with Cena. It may not be popular, but hell, I like it.

Yeah. I don't mind as much as I'm about to be bored for the next few months. It was so freakin obvious.
I don't like Rock's banter anymore. And he and Cena are just meh. Punk better stay involved so it's not a total rehash of last year.

I thought the match was crap the first time. I can't imagine enjoying it the second time around. I'll just hope it's the main event, so I can just stop watching Wrestlemania a half hour early.

No. No, I am not ready.
Because I REALLY don't want another WWE Championship reign with Cena. Unfrtonately, it's clear as day at this point.

I like The Rock as champion.
I DON'T like John Cena as challenger.

I hate to say this but I hope it draws horribly.
I can't think of a match with less drama than "Cena gets his win back DUH...now gimme your $60, sucker!"
Combine that with a possible "HHH gets revenge on Brock"? Good God no...
