It sucks that WWE has to protect the Cena brand.

Me and my homies were predicting a heel turn for Cena during his match with the Rock.

They set the story up perfectly on the previous RAW shows, with Cena talking about he HAS to win Wrestlemania. They could have set it up with Cena doing whatever it takes to win. I was expecting a chair shot, or Cena locking on the STF and not releasing it even when the Rock held the ropes, etc. I could hear JR, "Cena has snapped!"

But, with the WWE trying to make the shows more family friendly they have to proctect the Cena brand. He is a favorite among kids, and if he were to turn into a bad guy, his merchadising sales would decrease.


His face character is getting a bit stale. They need to change it up. Maybe bring back Thugganimics Cena, with him dissing everybody. Could you imagine the Shield coming out and beating down the Rock, and Cena revealing he was behind them all along? :mindblown:

im convinded that turning Cena heel is just a "adult thing" to satisfy adults


thats like asking Big Bird or Elmo to turn heel because he been the same character for like 20 years


moral of the story: WWE is for the kids, you just gotta breath in the aids and deal with it :smugfavre:

I think we need an official "The Rock Sucks & Cena Sucks" thread. Everyone can keep their bytching to one thread.

Man... the WWE is not like WCW... hell its not even like WWF anymore :laugh:. WCW pulled the trigger and brought us the piff but got blinded by the success of it. Cokeboy sort of doing the latter without the prior, he's on some "don't rock the boat" shyt but its just so... grapefruitless... :flabbynsick:

LOL@WWF is about the kids...someone needs to send those kids and their parents the highlights of the Attitude Era where Taker was hanging the Bossman, Austin trying to kill Cripple H at Survivor Series 2000, the Rock tossing Austin in a river and then having a funeral for him the next Monday, Trish on her hands and knees barking like a dog for Stephanie and getting her hair mopped with that bullshyt...that's the WWE that is responsible for Linda McMahon losing the election...twice. $100 million down the drain. That's what counts. Rest of this shyt is seen as weaker and softer and that's why fans don't fock to it anymore. It's not shocking or unique..dudes on here was happy at a little CM Punk angle of him tossing around dust from a urn last week..that's GULLY to this kind of fanbase now? LMAO. But that's why shyt looks so bush league overall.

Be a STAR yet you act like Umaga never worked for you and didn't show Macho Man no props until he died.

Is them protecting Cena any different from Hulk Hogan back in the day. He hardly ever lost clean and usually only wrestled on the PPVs. But i guess cuz i was a child back then that stuff like this didnt matter.

There was less tv time and ppvs back when Hogan was at his peak in the WWF

the problem is the Attitude Era came after Hogan so the general public knew no better before the 80's

WWE was so gully in the late 90's with unpredictability and unique storylines so people are pissed that they went back to being a kid friendly, casual tv program like in the 80's with babyface hogan

The thing that bugs me is WWE dont have faith in the characters they create so whats the point of making them if HHH, Lesnar, Rock, and Taker are going to take their spots anyway at Wrestlemania?

It's not their spots though. If they were overwhelmingly over, they would be undeniable. In 1999, the WWF tried to kind of push the Rock in a comedy tag team with Foley but he made that more MUST SEE than anything in WCW, ECW, or the WWF..highest ratings in Raw history. No one has that kind of special drive anymore..they're always looking for excuses. Ryder and Ziggler are bytching on Twitter HOPING somehow that leads to change for them. Poor delusional fools. They don't stand a chance.
