Now after reading John Cena's interview where he said "gives him a better perspective on Dwayne Johnson's path" re: his time off. Do you think WWE will push him to the moon again on his return or will John go on a reduced role and more of pushing new talent (learning from their previous errors in relation to burying talent)?

I don’t know why it took Cena so long to see Rock’s perspective, I saw it right away. I guess now that he is getting older, after going so hard for so long with the only break time being when he was rehabbing injuries, he is starting to get that there is more to life than working almost every waking hour. I honestly can’t say if he will look at his commitment to WWE differently. When he comes back, WWE really needs him so they will push him. Beyond that, it’s up to him what he wants at this point in his life.

So let me get this right, Sheamus comes out as a complete total goof in the Survivor Series match, gets crushed by three barely midcarders and then comes back and gets the Title from Reigns with just The Brogue Kick. And I'm supposed to care about the product why?

When you lay it out like that, it really makes one wonder how, in the creative meeting, no one in WWE realized how badly it comes off. I know that Vince thinks he can make us accept what he wants us to accept but as you stated, Sheamus winning definitely didn’t make many people excited.

Any chance that WWE calls in Bubba Ray to break out the Bully Ray heel persona to see if he has a run a s atop tier heel? The timing seems as good as ever with the company in a need of another established yet fresh guy.

It is up to WWE Creative for that to happen, not Bubba. Personally, I don’t see much chance of that happening. WWE Creative is well aware of what Bubba did as a single in TNA and they chose to bring him back as part of a tag team. I think that says all that needs to be said about their intentions with him.

Remember when Ambrose won the title at Elimination Chamber, was announced as the new champion and then got screwed before carrying the belt around for a month and losing just by a hair in the money in the bank main event? Because as a fan, I do and all that could have been used to tell a way better story during the survivor series main event, rather than just how close Roman has been (which they beat to death despite the fact Ambrose has been closer to the title). If Ambrose is better in the ring, better on the mic and more popular amongst fans, why not just let him be the guy?

That’s easy. Vince McMahon sees Roman Reigns as “The Guy”. So, he is going to push him as such. Remember, at the end of the day it’s what Vince wants to present, not so much what the masses want to see. I am not saying it’s the way I would do it, but that is how it is.

Do you think the Survivor Series ending is based on arena crowds reactions to Roman leading up to the event, or Vince making rash or genius calls?

Vince knows that a decent number of fans have not accepted Roman yet so he is trying to create sympathy for him. What I think he is missing is that the fans that are booing Roman now tend to be the kind that aren’t swayed by that kind of booking. But I guess he hopes that those in the fan base that are will overpower the naysayers going forward.
