As a very young teenager, I thought Punk's long reign was badass. When he beat Del Rio for the title, I was going fuckin' crazy. It was so awesome. And then every time he won, I was happy. Seeing the champion defending all the damn time and continuing to win was making it special. The guy was fighting.

Also, I think we need to differentiate between being "treated" as the main draw and actually being the main draw. Punk when he was champion was the main draw for me. I was watching to see what he was gonna do. On the other hand, right now I can name three different programs that I'd rather watch than the Universal Championship program. But Lesnar's is treated more importantly by the company.

IMO, if you really think that just because Punk's reign didn't get the top slot all the time and therefore Lesnar's is better because his does, then you're just buying too much into what they want you to look at.

I've stopped caring about what Brock Lesnar does. The first time I actually cared about a Lesnar championship feud this time around was when he fought Samoa Joe, and then he won that and I said, "Oh, right, Joe wasn't gonna win that one. But it would've been cool!" So then I waited until maybe, just maybe, Strowman was gonna do it at the Rumble by pinning Kane. And then Lesnar won, and I said, "Oh, right, they're saving it for Roman." So then Roman lost, and while I enjoyed the match somewhat and the finish was intriguing, now I'm saying this:

"God damnit I just want Lesnar to drop the damn belt already, it's been a year and I've only cared about this belt three times in that whole year. He hardly shows up to give me something to care about, and when he does it's not always interesting and his matches are all pretty similar at this point. Germans, germans, germans, some counter-offense from the opponent, germans, F-5, pin. Give me something I care about."

I didn't say that about Punk if I remember correctly because his matches were more interesting and he was more entertaining. I cared more.
