That looked like a great opportunity for a hell turn while rocks back was turned on the ropes.

I was thinking that exact same thing. How can Cena continue to be made to look like a bitch and still be considered a face? It's horrible. He NEEDS a heel turn now.

 

[darkside31337]

PPV was fun and enjoyable. Thumbs up WWE.

I agree.

This really needs to be the "opening" to a full blown Cena heel turn. Just do it already.

 

[DMczaf]

Even Bret Hart made the heel turn and with less booing from the fans. Stop being selfish, Cena.

 

[Nelo Ice]

they missed the perfect opportunity for a Cena "after all I've done for you people, you boo me" heel turn

Seriously, and he actually looked like he was sick of the booing and was going to turn heel.

 

[NoRéN]

Lol Cena gets rock bottomed and proceeds to sprint up the ramp. Nice selling

He was doing his best impersonation of Tough Enough winner Andy Levine.

 

[dream]

That was really bad, chums.

$60 to see Dwayne rassle for 3 minutes.

 

[Ithil]

Friendly face vs. face feuds are SO. GOD. DAMN. BORING.

 

[HenryHSH]

He's already the heel in this feud. He just needs to start acting jealous/bitter around Rock.

whos gonna sell those rise above hate shirts? dwayne?

he's busy making gi joe brah

 

[somedevil]

The crowd is practically handing WWE one of the biggest heels ever with Cena. The shit has been cooking for a few years, and he has one of the biggest faces as an opponent soon. The shit is writing itself. Just let it happen.

Cena new heel character should be in the vein of Bret Hart's heel character where he loved in Canada and hated everywhere else. Cena should be loved by kids and women and do promos against the marks and men that hate him.

edit: I enjoyed the pay per view quite a bit. 8 out of 10.

 

[Kaladin]

While that wasn't a great PPV, it was good. I'd even say there wasn't a really bad spot on it. One thumb up, another in the middle.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I think ultimate warrior sold better than Cena at times.

 

[G-Fex]

could've had Cena be a heel.

Vince you fucking moron

 

[DMczaf]

CM Punk sells more shirts now. It's his time Cena, give it up.

Hey - we also got to see Mark Henry kick BigSlow in the nuts.

 

[Kyoufu]

Aside from that crappy last match, solid PPV imo.

 

[Conrad Link]

See ya in 3 months Dwayne

Yep, WWE gonna be 'living' on this once appearance for the next few months.

 

[spindashing]

They don't need to make Cena a "heel." He's already disliked by the crowd whenever he's against or next to The Rock.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Show did a better elbow than the Scorpion King

Doesn't he do that now?

 

[darkside31337]

They need to have Cena on TV the next few months until WM while Rock isn't on TV and filming some crap movie. A Cena heel turn fills the gap till WM quite easily.

 

[Ultratech]

That was really bad, chums.

$60 to see Dwayne rassle for 3 minutes.

Well, we got decent Ziggler overselling, Cody and Wade triumphing over Dark Phoenix Orton, and Mizark hitting Big Slow in the nuts.
Also, Punk won the WWE Championship!

Maybe not worth $60, but slightly entertaining.

 

[G-Fex]

You're right Spin.

Long live Awkward Nice guy John Cena.

I'm a Cena fan now. Cenation 4 evers, Rise above Hate, Never give up

 

[British Monsoon]

Ziggler/Morrison & Punk/Del Rio made it worth the watch, imo.

Friendly face vs. face feuds are SO. GOD. DAMN. BORING.

Unless you make it about competition, or a belt that actually means something and isn't hot-shotted from guy to guy every PPV or so.

 

[Kyoufu]

The point of being a heel is to make things a little interesting at least. Cena just shrugging off boos is dumb and boring.

Fans wanted a Cena vs Rock feud where it was actually, you know, a FEUD. Not Rock putting his boot to Cena's ass everytime just because Cena has nothing interesting to do as a face in this rivalry.

 

[Shadowlink]

You're right Spin.

Long live Awkward Nice guy John Cena.

You're a Cena fan? I'm not surprised!

 

[Htown]

I mean it was right there. RIGHT THERE. You could see it happening and then it just... didn't.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I like how Cena sold the Rock Bottom for about 3 full seconds. More than I expected, really.

I know, that's what I meant by friendly. It's just a feud for kicks, it's not over a title or a best of seven or anything.

 

[K1LLER7]

pretty decent PPV. now it's back to cena fighting for the title every main event

 

[spindashing]

The point of being a heel is to make things a little interesting at least. Cena just shrugging off boos is dumb and boring.

The thing is, from a business perspective, keeping Cena a face is the best thing the WWE can do right now.

The Rock's merch will sell like hotcakes regardless.

But, it's up in the air what the WWE will do from here on out until April. Knowing the WWE well, I don't have any high hopes.

Spoiler

I'll be watching anyway, sigh...

 

[Parallax]

I want to be apart of team basic thuganomics. Now all cena has to do is make that jump... get back to his old theme, and just be a total asshole.

"Rise above hate"

 

[Kyoufu]

At least the reason I watched this PPV did not disappoint. Punk CHAMP!

Shiiiiiieeet.

Basic Thuganomics Cena was his peak.

But I doubt with the goody goody act he's been pulling in the ring, in promos, and in things like charities will be tarnished by a heel turn anytime soon.

 

[somedevil]

Thats why he needs to cut promos on the people booing him, but in way that makes the kids and women still love him.

 

[Parallax]

"Rise above hate"

And put "because I'm better than you" on the back. Bam, new merch that combines his current lame ass act, with a fresh heel face...

 

[dream]

I hope the Dwayne fans are now disenchanted and realize they can't trust WWE and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to deliver, resulting in nobody buying rasslemania.

Injury Update: Sin Cara suffered a ruptured patellar tendon, and will be out for 6-9 months, following surgery.

Err...Rock actually looked real good in the ring. Why would they be disenchanted?

 

[G-Fex]

You're a Cena fan? I'm not surprised!

Rising above your hate!

 

[MisterLuffy]

Seeing The Rock in action was awesome. He still have the moves like before. John Cena should just be heel in my opinion.

 

[bangai-o]

http://twitter.com/#!/WWEInsider/status/138464341862264832

setting up a triumphant return at wrestlemania no doubt.

 

[bean breath]

Any links to Little Jimmies crying on youtube over Cena?

 

[jordan0386]

I mean, the new cena shirt says it all for the fanbase. He aint turning no time soon.

Who is he supposed to feud with, as the bad guy, in 2012?

I shouldn't laugh at other's misfortune but damn. :lol

YES! Now I can watch Smackdown again without fast forwarding through his matches!
