I just don't have the give-a-

left to complain about WWE.
I dislike Batista so much I just don't have anything to say about him. Let him have the title. Watch the ratings stabilize, and watch WWE attribute it to the person holding the belt, and ignore how they undercut CM Punk and, to a lesser degree, Jericho. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Batista's squashing chumps left and right, week in and week out.
EDIT: In a way, I don't blame WWE. They're a business, and they monitor the ratings like a mother

er. You move merchandise and boost ratings? It doesn't matter if you read the Wall Street Journal out loud for a 15 minute segment, you're getting pushed. So bully for them. OTOH, they're clearly going with the "safe" choice here, and a move really reinforces how beholden they are to their pathetic little stock holdings. They're scared to death to take chances - especially with November sweeps coming around the corner, they want solid ratings in order to improve their negotiating position for ad revenue. Jericho-level ratings would hurt them more.
You gotta think about how humbling it was to get shitcanned from CW and put onto a network nobody watches at all. And, of course, how the WWE, like always, found suitable persons to blame, all of whom exist outside of the WWE itself.
