Rock won it closer to Mania. Brock will not work from SS to WM

we havent had a champ on tv since wrestlemania, and the rock carried the title for a few months, while being on a limited schedule.. why cant brock do the same thing? the fact is, nothing else makes since for brock other than carrying the title
Rock won it closer to Mania. Brock will not work from SS to WM
im not mad he won, I was mad he shytted on transformers, I really liked that movie..I am entertained by Cena but the anger he causes grown ass men to have is the gift that keeps on giving.
Mania is irrelevant here.
He drops it in Oct or Nov.
This is the most slept on statement EVER...... The IWC and people that watched the attitude era do not understand this.. Every opinion we have is always based on the fact that the tweener bad ass, got over crazy at one point... But we dont realize is vince had never done that before and at his age and what he is trying to do with the worlds outlook on wwe, he has to gain a larger loyal fan base before they can try something risky..but at the same time they need to figure out how to equate what the crowd reacts to and ways to make money off it... this conflict will always exist because you cant forget or ignore the fact that the attitude era took the company to the next level and kinda broke that 4th wall with wrestlers being characters, people want to cheer the good guy but that term is so subjective now, that its hard to figure out how to create a universally accepted face.Props to Randy Orton for working through injuries like a boss again, sick RKO too
Cool PPV brehs when it comes to Cena WWE is a wrestling promotion as well as a public family friendly company and I think THAT is where the fan conflict comes in. Cena represents WWE's recent gains in sanitizing their image as well as legitimizing itself to a country that despite the size and global reach of the WWE still looks down on. If Roman or whoever takes the reigns (heh) from Cena in the future, barring a societal and cultural change in television programming you may expect more of the same. The next face of the WWE most likely will be molded to be a moral fighting character to cover different audiences and promote WWE positively. Take a look at Vince Sr. and Jr.'s WWE: Sammartino, Backlund, Hogan, Hart, HBK, and Cena.
Austin and Rock are the exceptions, not the rule.
I am entertained by Cena but the anger he causes grown ass men to have is the gift that keeps on giving.
