No hate here. I have nothing but respect for every single worker that makes it to their level.
I don't like CM as a choice for champion, though. Dressed in black with greasy hair is such an "indy" look, and I'm simply not impressed with his work in-ring as champ so far (he's so low-impact!). Now, with Cena out, I'd work the belt around Batista's waist. He's much more marketable and credible as champion.
I will say that Batista is crazy over, but I think keeping the title on Punk would be the smartest move. I'm not saying he should keep the title until Mania, but I think he should hold on to it until Survivor Series at least. As far as the low impact stuff goes, maybe he toned it down to protect the workers in WWE? I don't know. I haven't really noticed the low impact stuff.
