    I don't think Cena would dump WWE quite like Rocky did. It's obvious that Cena is a wrestler first, Rock was more thrusted upon wrestling when his football career winded down, and retrospectively, did everything to shed his wrestling past when entering Hollywood.

    And yes, whilst they are still making their money, they have got everything resting on the shoulders of Cena and Orton at the moment, and people are sick of them two butting heads. What makes it worse is that those two constantly go over, which is at real detriment of the product because the heels are getting basically no rep. Miz is a chicken crap heel to use a Raven term, whose wins are few and far between, and CM Punk has pretty much been obliterated in his feud with Randy. Once them two are done, whose next? They are running out of options.

    Billy Gunn is probably a bad example because he was never that good of a worker, but guys like DDP (Who got buried by BikerTaker, became a motivational speaker and chased the European Championship) and numerous others of a higher profile got buried, so Samoa Joe & Styles would have no chance (Kinda what we are seeing with Bryan Danielson and becoming part of J.O.B Squad 2.0).

    R-Truth getting a push is one of the oddest things to happen yet, he's 38, incredibly one dimensional character, difficult to work a match with and most of all, has a criminal record that stops him from getting around the world. He has to be the fall guy out of this match, because it's a strange direction if he gets any main event run out of it.

    John Morrison, along with Kofi Kingston are easily the most over faces not named Cena/Orton, yet they don't appear to get the push. Morrison may have the weakness on the mic (Although he is nowhere near the depths that many make out), but Kofi doesn't have that issue. They push those two, they can help themselves out quite a bit.

    I don't agree with killing the Divas division, because there is a lot of talent there, they've just been hiding it recently with the Bella's & Eve, although it seems that's just to build a storyline for the debut of Kong. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that we had that awesome table tag match between Natalya/Beth Phoenix and Lay-Cool.

    Wade Barrett is going to end up with the strap. They had them have their little hissy fit in the ring on Monday against APPLE. It's the beginning of the end for the CORRE and either Punk ends up on Smackdown and grabs the strap or Barrett gets it. This is a great opportunity at the moment to draft someone over and let those SD guys step up.

    Actually I see it as a plus with the veterans leaving. It's time to give the young guys a shot. The problem is there isn't a booker calling the shots behind the scenes. TV writers i.e. "creative" don't know how to create storylines anymore that make people care.

    I see Del Rio winning the strap and feuding with Christian over the summer. It's already one of the best feuds going and there's a legit beef with Christian's injury.

    while im a huge christian mark, he'll never get the title. i guess this sets up del rio for a solid run as champ on smackdown because there are no top heels on that show. dont even mention wade barrett, he's nothing more than a mid card joke really
