JBL is a great character, but the fans don't care about him as a main-eventer.
Triple H may be tremendously stale as a heel (or main-eventer for that matter), but atleast the fans still respect the fact that Batista possibly defeating "former mentor" Triple H would be something of huge significance.
Cena has beaten the likes of Big Show, Booker T, and now Angle.
Should people be unbelievably surpised if Cena beats JBL at Mania? Should there be a huge face pop afterwards?
If Austin defeated Marc Mero in the main-event at Wrestlemania (instead of Shawn Michaels) would it have "meant as much"?

People went nuts when Warrior beat HTM for the IC belt. HTM never got one legit win in his whole run, people just wanted to see Warrior win/HTM lose.
HBK didn't have any legitimate wins before he dropped the title to Austin in 98, but people still popped for it.
And JBL did win the Armageddon and Rumble matches somewhat clean.
I personally think its more important who is chasing the title, than who the champ is. I think people want to see Cena win, so they'll pop when it happens.
