It plays into what Xero pointed out, about people just not trusting WWE on things anymore, even if they have no reason not to.

I'm not just going to sit here and say I'm worried WWE is going to have some nobody win the Rumble and main event Wrestlemania because they are poopy PG now.
I would actually rather have some nobody win. I want to see them actually invest in a guy full throttle, like Del Rio, etc. I'm not saying I don't trust the E to do it right, as they've been doing an EXCELLENT job as of late, I'm saying that while they did a great job with it before, that was before. Stars are different. Creative is different. The goal of the product is different. Politics are different, ya know? The question was, should they bring it back, and I'm saying, yes, if they do it correctly and adequately push the guy to help get him (more) over.

You know how people complain that former champions...lets say, Jack Swagger for example...start losing a bunch of matches/credibility after their title reigns? I don't think that's such a terrible thing. Think about a sports team that has an AMAZING season, but then they suck the next year. That has definitely happened before, and I don't think it's unreasonable for it to happen in WWE either.

Winning King of the Ring can sort of be equated to making the postseason playoffs. It's impressive to do it, but it doesn't guarantee that you're going to win the championship, you know?
I agree. I take no issue with Swagger losing matches like he has been because, yes, he was a World Champ, had a run, and I'm sure will have another. At the end of the day, he's a former world champ and if they wanna throw him in a program with Orton, Big Show, Cena, whoever, they can do it and it be somewhat feasible to the average fan.

For the sake of example, if they had Cody win it, helped it get him more over as a heel, run with it included in his gimmick, and in 3 years he's still not had ONE title run, or decent program with an upper midcarder, or vet, I'd take issue with the original decision.
