I remember watching that CM Punk angle after the 'pipebomb' and thinking that there was no way anyone could screw it up. He was wildly over, getting legitimate media attention, and it even seemed wrestling was on the verge of a mainstream crossover. Imagine if Punk had 'stolen' the belt - attending other sports events with it, movie premieres, overseas wrestling promotions, done whatever - before finally defeating HHH/McMahon in a WM main event. Instead HHH (and the Rock) buried him in a series of crappy matches and worse promos.
Then you have Daniel Byran, the Invasion, Randy Orton when he was a red-hot anti-hero heel, Christian, RVD, Jericho, Kane, Booker T and lets not even talk about Raw when EVERY week (for what seemed like years) opened with one of HHHuuuuhhhhhh's semi-illiterate, droning monologues.
So no, I'm not that excited by this prospect.
