I'd laugh my ass off if Snitsky did Headline a Mania or become champion, though. It'd suck, but...
I think with both Matt and Christian, it was sour grapes. Christian was outpopping the Golden Boy on a regular basis (Not exactly the greatest achievement, given people had already started to turn on Cena, but that had to piss Vince off), and I think a lot of the reaction to that was anger.
Matt was hired back because the fans were essentially ruining segments, and Vince did the absolute minimum to appease the fans then jobbed him out. I think these were both pretty big "fuck yours," though I think the primary issue wasn't so much getting even with someone as it was lashing out in general because he doesn't like being wrong.
Jeff doesn't deserve his push, I don't think, but at this point, I think it's kind of a "what fucking choice do we have?" Sort of thing. I mean, Matt and Christian were both over at the time, but each was over while others were getting cheered. Compared to almost everyone else right now, though, Jeff's getting monster pops because the crowd's almost universally dead otherwise. The problem is, they're banking on a guy with a shitty rep having cleaned up his act, and that might be as bad an idea as putting the title on someone who's getting no reaction.
But again, from WWE's point of view, they may not see it as much of a choice.
Of course, they could have avoided this by not waving their assholes at the fans for so long, but who knows?
