im ok with it , i just kinda dont like how the guy storms in and basically wants the title . but i guess hes the only guy besides cena right now thats even in Punks class really Complete horse crap and it really craps all over the WWE title... LOL... Rock is the #1 contender because... because.... everyone else who is more deserving of a supposed title shot b/c king crap is back in town.... (for two months then back to hollywood).... Story writers thinking of the two month buy rate not long term. That's why they're in the problem they're in now. And of course they just don't know what to do with a true star on their hands in Ziggler. They can't build new stars. ...because he beat John Cena in the main event of wrestlemania you dumbass.

Then he should have got his shot at Extreme Rules not nearly a year later.

Complete idiocy. They could have let Punk win, and then make mega bucks on The Rock being in an Elimination Chamber match. Punk could then go on to say that he only lost because of 5 guys beat him in the chamber. But hey, I guess loosing to a guy who has had 2 matches in 10 years makes Punks title run look completely legit. I am fine with The Rock winning the belt. I just think the WWE missed the boat on making a lot more money. And that's what Vince is all about.

If Punk won, then what? Rock wouldn't deserve a re-match. At least now we have another great match in store. Punk has already beat Cena. The only top guy Punk hasn't beat is Triple H and Taker. You can't fight Taker at WM as champion because you're going to lose and UT can't wrestle once a year and be champion.

Rock won because it was in the contract he agreed too! Cean won to piss us all off and face The Rock in a Second in a lifetime match!

I'm sick of hearing people complain. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. You can't expect it to be perfect. How are we supposed to not watch if we don't know who's going to win.......

This is my take on the 'problem'.
Rock winning the title, business wise, is incredible. I consider myself a big WWE fan, as do most here, and the decision makes me happy. It'll annoy some, it'll please some, such is wrestling.
The problem is not making The Rock champion. The problem is the fact that they aren't using Rock to further the programming and the new era. He's showed up, he's buried Cena and Punk. They need to have an engaging storyline, new era vs Rock, in which the Rock ultimately loses. You have the best of this era versus the best of the Attitude Era (slightly below Stone Cold), and they aren't using it to actual make the program more exciting. They are just relying on the names to sell the PPV. WWE creative simply suck.

WWE is heading down the same road WCW did before it went out of business. Relying on past stars instead of building new ones.

I was fine with Rock getting another reign but it shouldn't have been now, he's now had 3 matches since returning and he got handed the title after Punk busted his ass for 400+ days, basically it has made Punk look like the longest reigning transitional champion ever IMO.
I would've been fine if he got it at EC or something after he put Punk over, hell they could've had a rematch on RAW tomorrow and had him win it then and I would've been fine with it, but whatever let's see where it goes, hopefully not to hell.

They aren't using Rock to further their current talent. They aren't making their weekly programming better with the help of Rock. They are simply, in the short term, relying on Rock to sell PPVs. What next? I don't think creative has an ounce of creativity amongst them... This is a massive opportunity for them to make WWE a lot greater again.. and they are missing out completely.

I'm just going to say that The Rock filled my childhood with great memories and I can never hate him. Punk losing it sucks but I can't be mad. Surely there's a bigger picture. Wouldn't Punk be bitter if he knew all of this was going to happen? I just hope he wins it back.

Was rooting for Punk, but I still have love for The Rock. Congrats to him.

The Rock winning is an absolute slap in the face to the full time talent in WWE.

While I am a little disappointed that the reign is over...I knew it was coming (yes, even with me saying Punk would win in my predictions; had to try and be one a few to shy away from picking The Rock in the off-chance that WWE threw a curveball tonight...though it backfired on me) and am not upset at all. It's obviously great for business to have one of the most well-known faces in wrestling history to hold the company's biggest title as they approach WrestleMania, and I can only assume they will have plans for Punk to keep him in his main event status and eventually get back in the title picture once Rock's program is done.

I really enjoyed the ride, I just didn't like the ending. WWE went with the most obvious endings, and that's probably the one thing that bothers me most about being a wrestling fan. I hate being led to the most obvious thing. I want variety! The best part of the night was the clever ending of Show/del Rio.
On a similar note, the worst part of the night was Rock winning with the frickin' People's Elbow. If Rock had to beat Punk, it should have been cleanly with the Rock Bottom... no Shield interference, no restart, no damn Elbow.

Rock vs Punk was a great match. I was ecstatic when punk won after the lights went out, and severely disappointed when the match was restarted. But at the same time, I loved it. It was a new exciting ending. And I don't understand the hate on the Rumble match, I thought it was great. Loved seeing Jericho and the Rhodes/Goldust interaction. Overall I quite enjoyed the PPV

Overall I quite enjoyed the PPV In what way was that a new and exciting ending? The Shield has helped Punk win for three straight title defenses, only this time we knew beforehand that that would cost Punk the belt. This was the exact ending everyone expected.
