Is it partially their fault for not putting in the booking effort to make him at that level? Sure. But as it stood, he didn't belong in the main event with the two of them.
Yeah. Pretty much this. I think the main point is that WWE not making an effort to elevate new stars for the past 10 years is pretty inexcusable. You can watch WWE-produced docs on the fall of WCW where they pan Bischoff and Russo for not making new stars but they are pretty much doing the exact same thing. Taking the quick money instead of looking to the future is not how you sustain business. I mean, I get the Rock/Cena super matches on the money making side of things but neither one of them benefit from a win over the other. Now if they had booked Rock vs Punk with a one year build and Punk went over, he would've gone into the stratosphere.

I mean, it's easy to say Punk is full of himself but he isn't really wrong. He had the best chance of being their new money maker and his legs were cut out from under him in 2011. Nobody had a better shot than him of being the new face of the company at that time. Bryan, of course, but he didn't hit his stride until a few years after the Summer of Punk.
