The Heel Cena Thread

[Slivon]

I don't think you work for the WWE and since you don't work for them you will never know why Cena does not turn heel, the reasons you give are bullshit unless you heard that come from someones mouth in the WWE.

The structure of his reasons rests on the shoulders of subjective reasoning, not anything that's been set in stone from anyone who works in the WWE.

Didn't I said in the beginning: Based on MY OPINION?

I'll just say this about the subject: Years back, they said "Hulk Hogan will never turn heel" and we heard some of the same "expert" explanations: Sells too much merch, the kids will all bail and no one will be left to watch the product, and so on.

John Cena in my opinion shouldn't turn heel in my opinion I won't him to go down in the history as the guy who never caved in, I don't want him to be superman always in the main event scene, but when he comes out in gets the mixed reaction I find it incredible and him being a face inspires some of the greatest moments in recent memory his entrance at one night stand in 2006 where the crowd heckled him is always on my mine. But hey while everyone wants him to turn heel, I'll be the one fan who says he shouldn't turn heel.

I get the feeling that the 'Heel Cena' subject will soon be treated like the 'Benoit' subject around here.

Before I am gonna explain myself, I'd like to state: "this is just my opinion, no truth, no facts, just basic opinion. And I would like to ask to please (my dearest EWN-brothers and sisters) don't turn this in a Hate Cena or Troll Cena thread". Okay with that out of the way:

Why John Cena will never turn heel, for me has a simple explanation. First off all because of Vince McMahon. I will state it like he likes to say it, it is what's good for business. We have to realise a few things to know why he won't turn heel in the first place. First off all, as long as were in the PG-era you will never see a heel Cena.

A few reasons why:

- He sells too much merchandise
- He sells too many crowds
- Kids (PG) love him too much


Secondly, personally I have never seen John Cena as a face nor as a heel. To me he has always been more of a tweener, who tends to act more face than heel. The question why I think this, is rather simple. Watch WWE, see how their crowd reacts when he comes out. You'll notice it is almost always a divided crowd, you either love him or you hate him.

Thirdly, just like any sport/sports-entertainment business, WWE always needs the most popular guy as the one who they can label as THE GUY the other stars need to beat to reach the surface of larger than life immortality or simply known as superstardom. This is has always been in these organisations and it will never change. And for this matter you just don't to look any further than the past of this company.

I'll make it easy and start from the '80s boom of Pro Wrestling:

- Golden Era: Hulk Hogan with the HULKAMANIA
- New Generation: Bret Hart
- Attitude Era: Stone Cold Steve Austin
- Brand Extension: The Rock
- PG-Era: John Cena



This is how I see it and I have to add one more thing. Before people get me wrong. I don't hate Cena, he is the biggest star they have today. Also he is the most working guy on the roster, another reason to respect him. He does far too much good stuff outside of the ring to really hate him. Example, make a wish foundation and like these days, the cancer awareness.

Once again, I'd like to ask to not make this in any form of an Hate Cena or Troll Cena thread. I just put my opinion and that is it.

Are there any comments?

Simple Answer: John Cena is John Cena.

Mods can close this thread. I get the feeling it's no use.

Overrated if you ask me

The ratings war back in the 90's is one of the main reasons I believe that turn took place. Bischoff needed something to get people to tune into Nitro and bamn! what not a better way then to turn a guy like Hogan who has never been a heel other then earlier in his career before the Hulkamania gimmick into a major heel. Right now WWE has no competition...maybe if they were in competition we would see a Cena heel turn to freshen things up a bit.
