as much as I have a distaste for Cena ((i just can't stand him..he's worse then hogan was in my view, cause it's pretty much always the same stuff from him)) but if the Rock is going to leave to film more movies and stuff, then I'm glad Cena won, because the way I see it you wan't your champion(s) to be there at the show and not off doing promo work for his movies
while it's fine to have your champ out doing stuff (as is fine with other wrestlers doing their own thing on the side) if he's not really out promoting your product other then "well the wrestling champ is here promoting his movie" then there is no real reason to keep him as champion.
I mean you do put the belt(s) on the guys/women you want to be the face of your product to be able to do things to help draw in money and ratings, but if he's out doing his own thing, (1) not only does it not really help your product but (2) it interferes with the storylines (( a couple weeks ago, they kept Cena off TV cause Rock was out promoting a movie and didn't want Cena out there talking cause it'd make the Rock look week))
Now if the Rock comes back to wrestle on a more part-time (a match say 2-3 a month) or comes back full time to wrestle then yes, give him the belt because you know it'll put ass' in the seats, because after all it is the Rock. but maybe im old fashion and believe your champ should be around to be able to do stuff on TV and other promo work to (once again) put ass' in the seats
but for now I'm fine with Cena as champ, I'll hit the mute button when he speaks cause it'll be the same as every other time he's been champ "I couldnt do this without my fans" and blah blah blah
