What a horrible company and product! We're not watching any more!" Are you fucking serious? Yeah, you're right guys, the WWE are the idiots. "Hey, we've got this guy who's proven he can bring in ratings and has quite a bit of mainstream appeal outside of our own business. Now, I know our ratings have been falling lately and we're going into our biggest show of the year in a huge media market, but let's keep things the way they've been going. We don't need any additional, outside or mainstream exposure for our product." Fucking idiots.

You want to talk business, what about the fact that, more than likely, the huge draw (and yes Rock is a huge draw) will be leaving after Mania. Then we have the issue of the rest of the year being overrun by matches and people who DON'T draw.

WWE should be worrying about making guys actually matter instead of relying on the past for a temporary bump. Because once the Rocks, Takers, Triple Hs, and Lesnars are no longer there, the temporary boost will be non-existent and they will fall down the shitter.

If there is no future outside of Cena, which is pretty clear what WWE's stance is after Punk's reign was overshadowed by the likes of fucking Lauinitis vs Cena, then five years down the line there's a problem.
