Putting Cena over was the wrong move. Not having Cena sell the massive beating he took at Extreme Rules was also a terrible mistake. He was supposed to have a dislocated or broken arm, making Lesnar look like an animal. That didn't happen.

Who cares that Brock's heart isn't in the WWE? He's entertaining as hell. The weeks between WrestleMania and Extreme Rules were some of the best that I've seen in a very long time. For the first time in forever it actually felt "real."

They lost all that because Vince is so protective of his Cenation. The product has gone way downhill since Lesnar "quit." Missed opportunity is written all over this thing.

Having Cena lose to Rock and Brock back to back ppv would have been a mistake. The top star of a company losing twice to "part time" employees helps how? It doesn't.

Don't be so narrow minded. Why did the Death of Superman comicbook storyline hit the front page of newspapers across the countries? Because when the man of steel falls, people want to see who took him out. Pacquiao last night is an excellent example as well. When "the man" goes down, people want to see how it happened, and more importantly, his fans want to see him come back and get his revenge. It peaks interest in the product.

When Cena lost to The Rock, people tuned in to find out what Cena would do now. Was he going to turn heel? Would he demand a rematch with the Great One?

Had Lesnar "broken Cena's arm" and had him stretchered out of the building, people would tune in the next night to find out who the fuck else is Brock Lesnar going to destroy? And the Cenation would tune in to see if John would get his revenge on Lesnar, or hell, maybe even to see if he's "okay."

Cena's fan base will never go away (well, until they hit puberty). They truly believe in his whole NEVER GIVE UP, HUSTLE LOYALTY RESPECT bullshit. A loss isn't going to hurt him, it's not going to hurt his standing, and it's not going to hurt his merchandise sales. What it's going to do is spike interest in the product, as long as it's done right.

Pacquiao's next fight will have a spike in ratings and after that all his ppvs will drop. I don't know to much about Superman and his comic book series so alright.

But I am being narrow minded because the ONLY play you see to work is Brock Lesnar winning? Yes everything you said is true, but everyone tuned in the next week for basically the same reasons. People tuned in to see what Brock Lesnar was going to do after he lost his fight after dominating the entire bout. People tuned in to see what was next up for John Cena.

You don't have your top man lose event after event to "part" time employees. Why not, as much of a shocker this might be, use someone who will be around to snap and take our Cena and win the match. There are plenty of guys capable of this; Randy Orton (He wasn't suspended), Sheamus, Ryback, Tensai, or any of the main players in the game. Then you will be able to build the story with BOTH wrestlers being around. Instead you would have Brock Lesnar gone for a month or so.

Maybe you need to stop being narrow minded and look at other events that could happen for the better.
