I wasn't at all annoyed at the crowd. I have no problem with them voicing their displeasure at seeing Randy Orton vs John Cena in a main event in 2013.
The segment itself was awesome though. Both guys gave us decent promos - I was surprised Orton managed to deal with the chants as well as he did. Cena's use of Bryan was annoying, but understandable given that the crowd would have completely ruined his promo otherwise. Still, I have very little interest in that particular match and its outcome on Sunday, I'm far more interested in the other happenings in that segment.

It's mad that the biggest pops were for Bryan, Punk and Hbk during the end debacle.. If they had any sense it'd be a 4way between Cena,Orton, Punk and Bryan.. And just have the Shield have the Wyatts.. Simples. I suppose therein lies the proof that it will be a 'swerve' finish.
If Triple H wins it, I'll be livid.
Wouldn't write it off though.. Wasn't he just appointed head of creative?

This was gold from minute one, when Stephanie really started talking about how Triple H was the greatest champion of all time and CM Punk lost his shit in the background. Marked... then marked again for the massive roars of Daniel Bryan chants. I assume they knew those were going to happen this week... so the production team played off of that. WWE ACKNOWLEDGED the fans chanting for Bryan and put the camera on him instead of just trying to half-assedly cover it up like they have so many times before. (Listen to the crowd, lets go Sheamus!) I appreciate that.
The promos themselves were really, really good. Orton had his best promo in a while, and Cena's promo was unbelievable. It felt like he knew + called an audible and completely went off script because the crowd was taking over the segment. That's good, that's exactly what we need more of in WWE. Applause for that, but when he started bringing up backstage issues with Orton "never living up to his potential" and "being lazy and complacent", not only do we just have too many worked shoots in wrestling, but... Randy Orton's a 10 time champion and has been one of the biggest stars in the company for the past few years. In kayfabe, this just didn't make sense no matter what we think. But his promo was intense, firey, awesome, the guy probably sold a whole bunch of PPV's off his anger and rage alone.
Above all else, there was a bright shining light of them finally starting to get it. Cena said towards the end that he was the one who put over Punk and Bryan, and they got the job done (all true) and that he wanted to give Bryan another title shot after being screwed over so many times... you may say nothing would stop the Authority from screwing him over again, but for the purposes of this match, him putting over Bryan and Punk was the #1 thing Cena should be doing to make the fans get behind him. All I could think after that was that I couldn't wait for Cena to win the belt... yeah, you read that right.
Then they set up Punk vs HHH and Michaels vs Bryan in a way that made me not be able to stay seated, and surely there's plenty of people who'd be interested in that. Great, great stuff. Probably the best segment all year.

Always is a major overstatement. And he does it by being a kiss ass.
Yeah it's an overstatement, but I just like to see how he turns boo's into cheers even though it's through cheap pops a lot of times.
