I was reading this article at work today (http://withleather.uproxx.com/2013/01/royal-ramble-an-op-ed-on-the-royal-rumble#more-103324) and wasn't particularly interested until I got to end:
"How do you craft a reward that's on the same level with a win like the Royal Rumble when you're giving that same reward to John Cena on a biweekly basis? Well, maybe that's the solution. Maybe instead of a title shot at WrestleMania, the winner of the Royal Rumble just gets to be John Cena for a year, with unlimited title shots and the ability to kick out of everybody's finisher all the time. I'd watch it."
BRILLIANT! How could anyone complain if the part of John Cena is played by more interesting characters? What say you?

C'mon now, just because Cena failed at the MITB cash in, and at Summerslam, and at Night of Champions, and at Survivor Series, and failed at winning Dolph's briefcase, doesn't mean he shouldn't get another 12 shots next year. Be fair to Cena!
I would love to see someone like Zack Ryder pick that as a reward sometime, though.
