Why does WWE like to go out of their way to make paper champions?

Your complaint is both wrong and irrelevant!

You see, you are lacking some logic in how things work. These guys are not established main eventers, they are new to the scene.

So would it be LOGICAL for them, to suddenly start beating ESTABLISHED main eventers all over the place when they couldnt beat them before JUST BECAUSE they won a title? This has absolutely no ground in logic and doesnt make sense, so I dont understand ur complaint. I mean, it would make the current main eventers look like crap if some guy starts beating them just because he won the gold. It would be something fishy to the fans and dumb booking.

Let me adress ur complaints one by one.

Lets first take current world champ CM Punk. His title run is one of an UNDERDOG. That is the type of champion he is. He is a small guy, not a huge monster, so would it REALLY make sense for him to beat up on huge established experienced guys like Batista and John Cena? I mean, put your favoritism aside and you see that it wouldnt make any sense for him to do so. In fact it would make Batista and Cena look like crap and Punk wont look much better either because the fans wont buy it that this skinny guy is suddenly unbeatable. It is not his character, his character is an underdog and it is what he does. He wins, but he wins by the hair on his neck and just holds the title by the strands of his fingers.

I will say that if he suddenly started beating down Cena and Batista, it would make the whole company look stupid.

Now ur next complaint is about Rey Mysterio's reign. Rey Mysterio was also booked like an underdog, a fighting champion that became a giant killer. It seems from ur complaints about Punk and Rey that the WWE booking is not the problem, its just that u dont like underdog champions. Well guess what, some people will hate and dislike dominant champions as well!
It is just a different style for variety.

As far as Edge's reign goes, he wasnt an underdog, but he was a sleezy slimeball that cheated to win his title. This is the heel version of an underdog basically, a guy who gets by the skin of his neck and manages to hold on to the gold (like JBL's reign)

Honestly I dont get what type of champion people want. If u get an underdog champion, everyone complaints that he isnt dominating. If you get a dominant monster champion, everyone complaints that the guy is a "superman" and is unbeatable. There is no pleasing some of u!
