There is always pros and cons with normally everything. Due to Rocks lavish lifestyle appearing in over 20 different movies all the way into 2014 I would find it incredibly hard to figure out when Rock could be WWE Champion and still be committed. For Rock is all about Hollywood and fame, not loyalty to the company.
As much as it hurts me to say it but he has turned into Hulk Hogan, ditching the company to go to self promotion, not being loyal to the millions upon millions of fans all over the world. It's a shame but some people just fall into the same trap. Boosting the ratings is a big target and something WWE should focus on, by creating dream matches like Brock vs Rock at WM29, possibly Punk vs Taker (not my preference but reasonable to most people) Cena vs Taker sounds pretty good, in an I Quit Match or something like that, obviously with Taker winning because Mr.PG and no one else deserves to end the streak.
The HUGE problem with the creative team in terms of power they are limited, this goes with Vince too. Sure we got Rock back and had one of the best WM matches with Rock and Cena in but he doesn't have the power he used too. Back in the day he had over 80% majority control.
And now he has 52%, meaning he has to share this power with other stakeholders, he must acknowledge their interests as well. Along with the 100 million dollars Vince wasted on Linda's campaign which was a failure which could have been spent on such things as new superstars, and other things. The Rock winning the title would be a great thing for older fans as they would be reliving the glory days of the Rock, the People's Champ!
But the stakeholders that Vince has to deal with could not want to give the title to him, I.e. Punk 400+ days as Champ, keeps the storyline between the 2 going but would keep going even if Rock lose. Building up tension for WM and what's in store, e.g. Punk vs Cena vs Rock for the title.
Anything is possible in the WWE.
There are advantages and disadvantages both ways. Honestly I am kind of in the same boat as you I think. I do not see the need for the Rock to have the belt going into Mania.
Buys will increase even if he does not have the belt. Plus if Rock isn't going to come back for a decent run it just hurts CM Punk in the long run. Leave the belt on Punk, let Rock get the moral victory and be done with it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
