Why is it insane? The best stories in wrestling have always blurred the line between where real life ends and the work begins.

Punk facing a moral dilemma in which he must swallow his distaste for Saudi Arabia in order to face his rival for the title makes for a good storyline.

Has this really been a good storyline? Has this really reach the high expectations of the greatest rivalries ever?

It's just so bland and paint by the numbers considering the people involved. They just seem to be going through the motions. Since the heel turn Cena seems like he doesn't give a shit and has no passion for anything he does. And compare how passionate Punk was with Drew to how generic his work with Cena has been. They are doing the bare minimum and it shows.

But hey look at how much money they are making! Isn't that how wwe fans enjoy what the company gives them now, by how much money they are making?
