I just read the recap of this event (I forgot it was even on LOL).
Not sure why they would hand Batista the belt. Just doesn't make sense.
CM Punk thing kinda weird too.
I like the Tommy Dreamer move though. He may not hold the belt for long, but the fans marked out and he deserved it.
Frankly, I don't think the WWE knows what it's doing anymore and is desperately trying anything to up its PPV/TV numbers.
It won't work. Only hardcore fans watch Raw/Smackdown with any consistency, PPVs are too expensive and too frequent (they should cut back to the big four) and no one in the general public knows anything about today's pro wrestling stars.
If I asked 10 random people who John Cena was - I suspect 8 or 9 wouldn't know.
Same couldn't be said in Hulk Hogan's era ... or Steve Austin's, for that matter.
Wrestling right now only matters to the very hardcore guys ... and those numbers continue to dwindle because of stupid booking, oh so predictable booking and McMahon trying to sell us stars we really don't care about.
Sadly, I think the most interesting guy in the WWE right now is Santino Marella.
