Championship Contender
I have been watching Punk and Cena over the last few weeks and something has been nagging me - it doesn't make any sense.
The angle is supposed to be Punk wanting respect and Cena being the guy who he needs to beat in order to get that respect but Punk has beat Cena several times already for the title. Not only that, Punk has beaten several other people over the past year so he isn't some one-trick pony who wins the title and then brags about how good he is. Add to this, Punk has never been the one asking for Cena's respect - Cena has been saying Punk hasn't earned it yet.
Then look at Cena. Last year, we had Christian asking for one more match to try and win back the title he lost. This is what they used to turn him from face to heel because he kept asking for one more match when he clearly had no reason to have one. What has Cena done to get his matches against Punk? The same thing! He has been saying that Punk hasn`t earned anything until he beats Cena in an attempt to get title matches. He might as well be saying `one more match`.
Anyone else feel that this is totally out of character for Punk and Cena? Until very recently, nothing that Punk did was really `bad` to make him a heel. Even look at the match he had with Lawler a few weeks back - someone was telling lies about Punk and Punk called them out. it isn`t exactly heel action. Maybe it is just me but the whole angle seems off. thoughts?
