And there are main eventers who have promoted their own popularity without becoming overexposed. They tend to be the legacy characters right now (Triple H, Undertaker, formerly Shawn Michaels.)

It's tricky to manage, since top draws make money doing virtually anything, but too much of a good thing makes people fatigued of it. Hulk Hogan had that problem too.
You're telling us HHH was never "over-exposed"? Did you forget about that run he had on Raw where he had 20 minutes promo time per week? It's refered to as the "Reign of Terror".

Rock spent the majority of the time letting the crowd chant when he could have been ripping Cena... When Cena spoke the crowd was dead. If the crowd let Rock speak instead of them chanting, the Rock would have fared better...

Just an opinion... what are your thoughts?
Wait. I thought Rock "controlled a crowd like nobody else"?

Pretty sure I told you to be quiet.
