No champion in the history of wrestling, boxing or MMA (and it's all the same so don't argue it ain't) has drawn money as a weak champion. Not a single one.

Some people understand wrestling booking is used to MAKE MONEY. Some don't. You are obviously the latter.
CM Punk didn't look strong during his reign, so the WWE took the belt off him in a way that allows him to come back and say that he was cheated. I think they are definitely jumping the gun with this Steel Cage Match stuff, and that Punk should take a month or so off, and cut some promos hyping his return and how much he hates Orton, and how much he wants to prove he is the true World Heavyweight Champion.

I do like strong champions, but I don't think Jericho is exactly looking weak right now. He beat CM Punk cleanly in non-title competition, and at The Great American Bash he has a match-stoppage victory over Shawn Michaels. Granted, the same thing happened to him at Unforgiven, but he proved he's a tough motherfucker by going out there with his wounds, being a smart guy, and pulling out the title win despite it all.

Besides, with heel champions, the money is in the chase. People pay to see a good heel champion get beat, and with CM Punk, Batista and Shawn Michaels all in line with shots, I'd say there are great legs on this.
