Back to the topic, umm I guess the masked Cena idea didn't over as well as I'd thought, but it's good to get everyone's opinion on it. I think Ghost killed my mometum with the Juan Cena link LOL(thanks for that) but some people focused on the point I was making about totally reinventing Cena into something new. I compared it to what WCW did with Sting,and although some may disagree with whether he was stale at the time(I was younger,and even though I liked Sting in his original gimmick,I thought it was kinda stale by the 90s,but I was blown away by Crow influenced Sting,he was like the dark avenger of WCW and his 1 on 20 bashes with him just being armed with a bat were some of my biggest markout moments back in the day.
What I was suggesting,was that instead of just pushing the current John Cena down our throats, why not try a new gimmick alltogether, something badass with a completely new image with a mask or facepaint might make a superpowered Cena easier to get behind. Giving him a darker edge through the influence of Kane(one of WWE's darkest characters in it's history) would make it more acceptable,and really let Cena have fun with a new character that doesn't have any of the limits of his goody goody character. The problem with Cena as he is,just a bit fiercer and aggressive is that,when you see him, it's still John Cena, and no change of shorts between jeans,camo or olive green will change that. Give him something completely different and let him have fun with it for a while. Cuz the current Cena character seems to be heading for a clusterf*ck.
