Punk held the title for 400+ days. If it wasn't going to Rock, it was going back to Cena. Instead of being mad about Rock getting the belt, people should be pissed that he's handing it to Cena instead of putting someone over who could use it.
How can people be mad at a Rock title reign?

Bret Hart is an all-time great and nobody gives a fukk about his era
Stone Cold had coked out boss Vince to play off of, which is what people tuned in to see. Punk dropped his sit-down pipebomb and instead of running with him they used him to keep Rock's seat warm.
EDIT: They could have had a great Vince-Austin dynamic with Punk-Laurinitis, but they REFUSED to have that motherfukker do anything overtly heel.
So it just came off as Punk bullying a dorky retail manager.

said what he said
If Cena didn't win the RR beforehand, I honestly don't think people would be as frustratingly jaded about Rock's win as they are now.
I'm glad they didn't prolong the feud between Punk/Rock...I mean, hell, we get to see Rock in an Elimination Chamber match. That'll make a lot of people happy, no doubt.
But to me and a lot of others, it's mostly because Cena buried the Royal Rumble in a promo before winning it, just so he can get his receipt at Wrestlemania for Twice In A Lifetime™

Punk lost his steam during some Nash nonsense in 2011..where was these concerns then?
too good offa that 400 day title reign.
I would be behind A Rock title reign 100% if it was gonna be used to elevate a new star( Ryback,Bryan,Ziggler, maybe Punk) like his 2002 run where he dropped the belt Lesnar at Summerslam. Him winning just to lose to guy whose been the face of the company for 8 years and already beats everbody isn't that interesting. Add on to the fact that the Rock/Cena build was straight 
last year.
The Rock being Champion is fine and a great business move but knowing all roads are just leading to Cena and 2013 offically being "his year" is just
and impossible to get excited about.
Watching him win was a fun moment as a longtime Rock fan, but that was it. The Bigger picture seems rather bleak tbh.

So you're more concerned with Punk being "all-time great" in a worked sport then the actual narrative quality of a title reign?

Cause Bret was a bum. He was on top during one of the worst periods of the biz.
It's sad that I'd rather them do that, then have another Cena title run.Rock aint never losing

Aren't you the same dude going around claiming Byran is a jobber without Kane:smugcheeseeyes: You know back on
u use to get that work from courtdog of all ppl and quiet frankly it should still be that way
I don't get it either but at this point it's better to just accept no one will ever truly be happy with WWE.

What do you mean? How does anything I said denote that I'm not concerned with the narrative?
Also... whether it's worked or not. There are greats and there are everyday 9to5 wrestlers that come and go. :goatshrug:
There is no doubt that Rock is a draw. My problem is does he need the belt to feud with Cena at this juncture? No.
