I don't understand why we need Rock/Cena II.
The first one wasn't that great, and when you have a guy that only comes back once a year, why give us the exact same thing again? If Cena's character had been affected in any way by his defeat last year, I could understand them making the most of the retribution route, but he hasn't changed at all. |

dont like Cena v Rock - Once in A Lifetime, twice in a row.
cmpunks reign was too good to be beaten by the great one part timer with not even his proper finisher. im gonna go back to stealing these ppvs rather than paying for them. thats my yearly negative post |

lol internet fans wouldn't be happy unless Rock was working house shows (that they don't buy tickets to) and being a way more expensive version of Barry Horowitz.
He wasn't exactly going to leave his cushty job making movies for millions to come back to a low brow form of entertainment only to be a big fucking loser. WWE were obviously gonna make him a decent offer career wise.. |

The WWE have spoiled us by keeping the belt off Cena for over a year, I guess this whole thing was inevitable.
I still don't like it though when guys like Cena win the rumble, it should be used to elevate first-timers or returning superstars. Cena can get a title shot whenever without it. |

Hate that "part timers shouldnt be doing ______" slur
Taker is 20-0 at Mania and half of those have been while hes 'part time', why does he never get slagged off |

Personally, I'm fine with the Rock being champ. I just don't want to see him wrestle Cena at Mania again.

Rasslin makes me very angry when they do things. How dare a company try and make $$$$ or ££££ for the Brits. It should be Punk vs Bryan in a submissions only double iron man match (120 mins)

No issue with Rock being champ.
No interest in Rock v Cena II. Underwhelmed by the end of the Rock/Punk match. The match should have gone longer from the restart. Punk should have kicked out of the elbow and a Rock Bottom before being beaten with a second Rock Bottom, just to give him some sort of rub.As it is, Punk looked a little weak. |

I'll pose this to people who are bitching about The Rock winning because new stars haven't been made.
With this thinking Ryback should have won at HIAC. Punk had pretty much done what he could with the belt, and Ryback winning could have set up The Rock vs Ryback at Royal Rumble which would have been a golden opportunity. Would you have been happy with that? Of course you wouldn't. You're just looking for reasons to bitch because your golden child lost his belt. Don't give me that bullshit. |

Steele said it best, everyone is over thinking it. When Rock said he had the match way back in July, we knew the outcome.
I loved the match, Punk looked great and dominated the majority of the match. He looked stronger there than he has in a while. |

Thought the PPV and Rumble match itself were all great. Best Ive seen in years, but disappointed to see Cena win. By the end of the match I was rooting and thought Ryback was going to win as it would have done much more for him.
Dont mind seeing Rock as champ, his match vs Punk was the deciding factor in me ordering the PPV. Also, I thought MIchael Cole was terrible. He mad alot of mistakes last night in calling the action. I havent been watching at all recently but I thought he was bad. |

The announcing was really terrible last night. Wrong names, wrong moves, JBL and Cole stepping all over each other. Had no idea Lawler was even there.

Punk was WWE Champion for 434 straight days. No way he comes off looking weak.

Looking "weak" and winning like a "heel" aren't the same thing.
You can't explain this to marks. Longest run in the modern era. And was beaten by an all-time great in a match where he came off looking like a million bucks. How does he look weak? Last edited by Shadrick; 01-28-2013 at 01:51 PM. |

To the Punk marks, I just don't get it. He had a huge title run, he lost the title in dubious fashion, there's plenty of time for shit to happen before Mania. This is a typical butthurt PPV over-reaction. He's going to be in the main event picture at Mania...you don't give a guy a streak like that and push him out for Rock/Cena. Obviously The Rock was going to be heavily involved in Mania, he has dollar signs written all over him and one of the biggest names, if not the biggest name WWE has.
That being said, the end of the PPV was a letdown just because that I thought the match itself sucked the dong. Last edited by Arrogance; 01-28-2013 at 03:40 PM. |

The Rock got tablefucked by The Shield, got the match restarted and put Punk away with ease. Honestly, it was some SuperCena-like stuff that would have 90% of the IWC up in arms if it were Cena. |

Why is everyone talking about Rock/Cena? I figure last night is setting up Cena/Ziggler for the WHC at Mania.

I like the idea or theory of why Punk lost to the People's Elbow due to the symbolism of crowd getting their "revenge" on Punk who turned his back on them. Rock needed the people in order to win because Punk kept proving for over a year no single person could do it by themselves.
Rock winning the title probably wouldn't have been as bad if it wasn't Cena winning or at least had the Rumble been last. Crowd was really deflated once Cena won and it carried over a bit to the Rock-Punk match. Vince gets his Rock-Cena II matchup but it came at a pretty big cost in terms of what gets potentially tossed. No more potential Taker-Punk streak vs streak match, the idea of Ziggler winning the Rumble then cashing in the case at Mania, and Punk-Rock gets dropped quickly in order to hype up Cena-Rock and/or the Chamber more. |

Ok. ZIGGLER ISN'T A MAIN EVENTER! STOP!. He shouldn't headline a normal PPV. Let alone Wrestlemania. And you're mental if you think Rock vs Cena isn't the biggest money making match-up. Taker vs Punk without the title is fine because Taker's streak is what matters. We aren't the majority. We are a very small minority. How many fucking times does it need to be said! If the IWC booked the WWE they'd be out of business within a year.
