WWE hasn't screwed the pooch on a WM like this in a while. Maybe we end up being wrong and this card ends up playing out better than it reads cuz everyone works their asses off and the booking works. Maybe we end up with a bottom 10 WM...this would be brutal considering that Haitch and them have put together a helluva roster with a catalog of experienced dudes who can work, talk, get heat, and carry characters and storylines.

I don't see how the match doesn't go in the 'Cena can't put the Rock away' direction. It is just a matter of how they go from there after 20 minutes to Cena getting the win. Having him take ANY kind of shortcut could be a GREAT lead-in to a summer of Cena FINALLY turning. Problem is...I can't think of any faces they'd trust to be on the other side, so it probably won't happen.

This is a good a time as any to say that I think the WWE WANTS Orton to do something truly stupid once and for all so they can stop being stuck with him on their roster, having to use him, but not having enough faith in his health, his wellness, and/or him throwing a broad down some steps on a Wednesday to really put him into an important program. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

The last things I remember Cena doing was eventually NOT 'embracing the hate' with Kane and having good as shit matches with CM Punk with some silly ass storyline...I think it was some shit about 'I want to be the champion because I know I'm the best..and if nothing else, I know I'm better than you no matter what anyone else thinks..bitch'. AKA that Ric Flair/Steamboat late 80s wrestling cuz we are wrestlers shit.
