The Topic of Blowing your load early, or not at all...(When it comes to pushes)

I don't think the WWE blew their load too early with Randy Orton. The fans in fucking Toronto where ready for him to beat Chris fucking Benoit. That has to tell you something. I think he was handled very poorly after he won the Title.

In hindsight, I think Orton should have handed Triple H the belt back after Evolution beat him down,r ather than spit in his face. Sure, the spitting made a great moment, but then you had nothing worthy of following it up. Orton suddenly became Stone Cold, yet he was also running for his life a lot of the time. The WWE really didn't go into the thing with a plan.

This is just my personal opinion, but I think they blew their load too early with John Cena. I was calling for JBL to retain the belt at WrestleMania 21, as a Cena win just didn't feel right to me. I think taking The Rock approach, and having him lose at WrestleMania, and maybe winning it in his next PPV opportunity, would have made people care a lot more about the win, and made him seem less like the generic face guy getting a monster push because they need a top face at WrestleMania time.
