Well HHH has stayed away from the title picture and his feuds haven't hogged any significant main event spot. So I give him credit for staying away and not hogging any air time.
LastSunrise1981, what you fail to recognize is that EVERY year, HHH pretty much gets a guaranteed main event or world title match at Wrestlemania. There is something wrong with that. Its called nepotism.
As for not hogging air time, when he's not taking his vacations, he's still on the air just as much as when he's world champion.
The problem is they screwed it up with Edge, Angle, and Jericho by having Cena Superman his way through them and making them look weak. You mean to tell me Angle can beat Mark Henry and the Undertaker, but couldn't make Cena tap out or beat him at all? That was just plain horrible booking.
Here's the thing. Because their failure with Angle/Cena and Batista's injury, they made Angle a face because fans wouldn't stop cheering him and gave him Batista's spot on Smackdown. Angle was supposed to be a heel against Cena. But the fans turning on him was inevitable. WWE tried to stop it by making Angle the new Muhammed Hassan, which as you can see failed miserably as well.
Also the problem isn't that Cena made them look weak, its that Cena looked weak stacked up against them. Re-watch some of those matches. Cena really does NOTHING in them. He's pretty much carried through them by guys like Jericho, Cena then wins the match with some weak and pitiful looking offense. Cena is in other words not believable or competent in the ring as a face world champion. Fans resented that Cena, who is such a weak wrestler compared to a Jericho, Angle, or even Christian (which never took off) and that those guys were doing all the work and Cena wasn't doing much of anything except...FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE ...and FU. Jericho said the reason they dropped Christian/Cena was because if they actually went through with it, the fans would've been totally behind Christian and not Cena.
At least HHH has been entertaining since being away from the title picture.
Eh...that feud with Show, been there done that, same promos crap over and over again.
However at this point, I'm just tired and bored of Cena. If Cena "Supermans" his way to beating HHH and HHH puts him over, yet at the same time he wouldn't put over Jericho, RVD, Kane, or Booker T? Then I'll throw the biggest fit and throw my remote at the television.
Its not going to happen. The world title is going back to HHH on April Fool's Day. The ironic thing is that the internet and mark fans hate Cena so much they are willing to accept the nightmare of HHH as world champ again. I for one don't accept either and that's why I don't watch WWE.
Cena wouldn't be in the position he's in if he hadn't whined, pouted, and threw a fit after losing the title to Edge. Maybe if he took it with stride and moved on to become a better wrestler and character, then perhaps the fans and people backstage would take him seriously.
I don't think that's true. I'm not sure where that came from. I get the feeling that the plan was always to do HHH vs. Cena at Mania. The hiccup with Edge I believe was a last ditch effort to revive Cena's face heat. Why? Because the fans HATED Edge during that whole Matt Hardy mess. So they figure, let's put the title on Edge for a bit and see if that rebuilds and reinvigorates Cena...and obviously it hasn't. The fans are still turning on him even more.
Just saying, I get the feeling that Cena dropped the title knowing full well he'd get it back 3 weeks later.
