The problem in a situation like this is that there is no clear-cut audience favorite. Clearly the WWE wants us to pull for Cena, but most of the guys in the audience (which is about 60-70 percent of a live crowd at any given taping) are totally over Cena and his dumb gimmick. Just look at last week's Raw, where the crowd was laughing and even applauding HHH's jokes about Cena sucking. In the really good WM main events, the crowd is remembered for being split and caring a great deal about the outcome (Hogan-Andre, Stone Cold-Rock, Rock-Hogan), whereas here it'll likely be split between people who don't want to see an eleventh title for Hunter or what will be essentially a year long reign for Cena. It's just so brutal.

All you need to know about this year's WM is that when Vince announced his match against HBK, there was nary a stir from the crowd. That's a bad thing heading into the most important event of the year. Hopefully it gets turned around quickly, but I'm not too hopeful at this point.
