I know you said youre not playing a character earlier, and how youre playing yourself, but a lot of fans continue to clamor for a John Cena heel turn. I know in the past youve said youre against it, but what if it was the best written script possible, something that would completely change the landscape of WWE? Would you go full-out heel and make the kids cry for maybe a year, or is that just not in the plans?
I just dont see me getting there in order to please a very small group of 30-year-olds. To be very honest with you, every single week I meet kids with life-threatening illnesses and theyll tell me how much I mean to them, and their parents will tell me how inspirational Ive been to their kids. We raised a million dollars last year for breast cancer. Im helping spearhead the Hurricane Sandy relief fund at this years WrestleMania. Ive been able to give back to the military in Tribute to the Troops. And Im currently working on a program to help America shave 5 million pounds. All of this stuff I would have to stop if I was a bad guy. To be a bad guy, you actually have to be a bad guy. I just dont have it in me, personally. So although you might get a great story out of it for nine months, doing it would just take away so much, and I dont have that club in the bag.
