Majority? Or some pissy fans unhappy that Jericho, who they fevrishly complained wasn't in the Scramble, got the win without looking like the most dominant force imaginable? I have yet to see anything wrong with how this was done. That's not to say I don't recognize other possibilities. But I think we may be overreacting a bit. "We", of course, meaning "you".

Fucking idiot.

Your champion needs to look strong. Punk title run was a failure because he was booked weak. Same with Jericho's first run. I'd rather Jericho not even be in the match and put the belt on one of the others. Or have Michaels be the 5th guy and win the title. No champion in the history of wrestling, boxing or MMA (and it's all the same so don't argue it ain't) has drawn money as a weak champion. Not a single one.

Some people understand wrestling booking is used to MAKE MONEY. Some don't. You are obviously the latter.

It's your sunny attitude that makes you so desirable to converse with; you know that, right?

Also, had Punk been given more than JBL to beat on, I'm sure he could have looked plenty strong. And taking the title off of him, even in the ridiculous Scramble match, would have made him look stronger? Also, Jericho's match with HBM did make him look pretty tough. And his title win made him look like a fucking weasel. So, he's a resiliant, sneaky heel...and that's bad?


Don't get me wrong; I know Punk's title run has been less than stellar, to say the least. But I'd hardly call it a failure, because it gives him something to build on down the road. I'd definitely say it gave him a solid base to work with, and if that's considered failure, then I think we need to take a moment and define our terms.

CM Punk didn't look strong during his reign, so the WWE took the belt off him in a way that allows him to come back and say that he was cheated. I think they are definitely jumping the gun with this Steel Cage Match stuff, and that Punk should take a month or so off, and cut some promos hyping his return and how much he hates Orton, and how much he wants to prove he is the true World Heavyweight Champion.

I do like strong champions, but I don't think Jericho is exactly looking weak right now. He beat CM Punk cleanly in non-title competition, and at The Great American Bash he has a match-stoppage victory over Shawn Michaels. Granted, the same thing happened to him at Unforgiven, but he proved he's a tough motherfucker by going out there with his wounds, being a smart guy, and pulling out the title win despite it all.

Besides, with heel champions, the money is in the chase. People pay to see a good heel champion get beat, and with CM Punk, Batista and Shawn Michaels all in line with shots, I'd say there are great legs on this.
