The thing I loved most about it was that before he got into booking 6 months ahead, it was actually something Vince would do. ADR would be a perfect corporate type champion, Vince would surely just fire Cena because he pissed him off and Rock could come back to cut a promo. Out of all the fantasy booking I've seen since Punk's promo, that I could actually believe.

I'll do my best to summarize. Others, correct me if I gently caress something up. It sounds way better the way he explains it.

- At MITB, Punk beats Cena though a heelish tactic. No huge screwjob, but he cheated.

- Vince comes out and demands the Raw MITB winner (probably Del Rio) come out and take the title from Punk. Del Rio wins the belt and becomes McMahon's new big guy.

- Vince, with his new champion/title-savior, fires Cena anyway because he failed and Vince is evil like that ("you failed me you son of a bitch i don't need you")

- Cena defends himself against Vince being a dick. He says he thinks Punk should have got his shot and he gave everything he had. If it wasn't good enough for Vince, Vince can gently caress off.

- Very soon after, McMahon gets a phone call from the Rock where Rock is pissed Vince ruined his Wrestlemania match. Rock wants Cena and no one else. Rock shows up the next week and demands Cena be brought back, otherwise he is out of Mania.

- Vince is forced to bring Cena back. Cena cuts promo thanking the Rock and says his goal is to get the belt back before Mania.

- Cena feuds with Del Rio but keeps failing to get the title back. He keeps getting screwed.

- Royal Rumble rolls around. At some point, the belt is held up for some reason. It is decided that the Royal Rumble winner doesn't get the Mania shot, but the TITLE, like that one Flair Rumble.

- Vince draws the numbers. Screws Cena by making him Number 1. Cena fights the whole Rumble. Number 30 is PUNK, who eliminates him.

- Punk's challenger is determined by the Elim. Chamber. Cena goes on to fight Rock without the title.

I thought the storyline had it that Cena vs the Rock for the title. It's not the same if it doesn't end with the title on the line. I'd rather see Cena chase after the title and keep his promise to the Rock.

I thought that too. I guess they could have Cena get the title in the chamber, finally beating Punk. But...I don't know. I'd rather the title not be in the Cena/Rock match.

I would agree to not have it be for the title. It's really not necessary and I doubt it's worth anything to have the Rock win so the obviousness is spelled out. I just think it for the story to end with it not being for the title, the bad guy and story would have to be epic. Otherwise let the story be that Cena manages to win it back to cap off his storyline after chasing the belt for a good chunk of the year even after it changes hands.

It's a great angle, but I did like the amendment of having ADR pull out of the MITB and have the winner of that match LOSE to Punk at the end of the show to pop the Chicago crowd and get everyone on the edge of their seat, then Vince uses ADR's win this week to send him out for Punk's third match of the night and win the title that way. Granted, that's more effective if Punk's coming back as a babyface.

Has anyone else listened to the F4D with Jeff Katz? He has a really interesting project in the works, a 13 episode wrestling program that is designed to be a self contained story, like any other tv show. I'm really curious how this will turn out.

Yeah, didn't say much but cool to hear from him. The Hero interview was pretty good, his history starting out as Wifebeater and at one point living with Ian Rotten is interesting. If only to hear another side of how IWA-MS treated someone. Ending was great, now I wish I could see video of him springing a vulgar Scott Steiner quote on Misawa, then shaking his hand before a match.
