At least they are consistant.....
BTW, they have too much money invested in Cena at this point to give up on him for anything really. With the CD, the movie and everything, its hard to imagine anything Cena could do to get the WWE to put a halt to his push.
I think its good of Cena to use his new found power to speak up for the boys.

The only problem I can see with that is that this is a cost-cutting measure by the WWE. Instead of slicing down their payroll, they'd reducing the cover they provide for their employees, which is probably better for guys like Shannon Moore and Akio, who would be likely casualties if the WWE did make more roster-cuts.
It's nice to see Cena taking position on this, but it may end up working against guys. I can easily see the WWE saying "Fine, but we need to cut back on even more talent. Bye cruiserweights."
It seems the WWE has started to worry about money. I'm not going to pretend to be better with finances than the WWE, because that would be a lie, but I think the saying "You need to spend money to make money." would be a good slogan for the WWE to obide by.
Focus on keeping the guys backstage happy and you will have better shows, guaranteed. If you had a happy Funaki and a sad Funaki do the exact saem moves in the ring, the happy Funaki will do them better.
Focus on good storylines. I don't know any of the WWE writers, but I know they probably get paid a lot, and whoever wrote the idea for The Masterpiece storyline doesn't deserve that money. Get rid of the Hollywood writers that haven't watched wrestling before and are just writing soap opera cliches into feuds, and get guys who know wrestling in and out, and get them to write the shows.
Granted, Paul Heyman gets a bit loose at at times, but if the WWE let him write for a show, it will probably get better reactions from both the fans and the wrestlers. He loves wrestling, he's obsessed with it, and he is jus oozing with the creativity to take the reigns and get somewhere, but instead the WWE are trying to bring in writers who have worked on outside projects that are supposed t be able to bring in outside fans.
We watch wrestling because we are wrestling fans, not 90210 fans (we might be, but that isn't why we watch wrestling). We want the writers to share the same love as we do, so we can share a conenction to the show.
Well I sort of went off-topic there with a rant, but yeah, I think Cena's got a good heart standing up, but I just hope it doesn't mean we won't ever get to see Paul London vs. Akio on SmackDown!.
