Yep. People are being delusional about it being a well-crafted long con. All we're realistically left to hope for here are that plans will be changed based on crowd reaction.
Eh, I don't really expect that either. Mid-90s Vince was in the middle of a war with WCW, and so he took a gamble by listening to the crowd and riding the wave of popularity resulting in SCSA becoming a megastar. Current Vince has won that war, has no competition, and therefore has no reason to gamble. Why "risk" his biggest show of the year (where the vast majority of his yearly profits come from) with an unknown quantity at the main event level when he can just continue banking on Cena + big names from the past? The last time he tried giving the main event to a new guy, the Miz/Cena WM was rather poor. The Rock ones the past two years have been financial successes.
My only hope is that when the profits shift from the current model of the vast majority coming from one show to an evenly distributed one (via the network), there will be more incentive to take a "risk". Even then though, idk.
I'm pretty, pretty down.
