Sheamus to become the face of the wwe?

[Red Omega]

- With 35 year old John Cena currently dealing with back, elbow, hip and neck issues, there has been a lot of talk for months about who is the next top guy for WWE. With Vince McMahon's days likely numbered, some believe that the next top guy after Cena will be Vince's last ever hand-picked top guy.

While Cena won't be replaced as the top guy until his body breaks down or until the public tires of him, there is a feeling that you have to think about the future now as Vince has never gone with anyone older than 40 as his top guy because people think he cuts bait early and then moves on.

Vince has told both the traveling and non-traveling writing staff, as well as the RAW and SmackDown crews, that they are now to put emphasis on storylines and angles for Sheamus. The idea is that CM Punk is a heel and won't be that top guy. Plus in their minds of what "the guy" is supposed to look like, Punk doesn't fit. Triple H is also backing Sheamus because he's big enough, dedicated enough and loyal enough. At the same time, many people feel Sheamus wouldn't be right as the face of the company because of his character. Another downside to Sheamus is he's almost 35 and if they are looking at grooming the next guy for Cena's spot, they should be looking at someone who is 25 or so.

So Cena won't be replaced until five years ago?

I say make Kofi Kingston the new face. The nikka can't talk for shyt, but I want a black WWE champion dammit!

And his feud with Orton a couple years back was pretty decent

 

[Ohnoits]

This gonna be the darkest period of wrestling.

Corny ginger as the face of WWE...

lol, I legit believe the company will shutdown in the next 10 years if they go this route, god lord And How are you gonna replace Cena with a guy thats roughly the same age as Cena.

I'm convinced Vince is trying to ruin this company before he dies. I give HHH props for trying to revitalize tag team wrestling, but now I realize he's just trying to get in good with the peeps before he fukks up the main event scene with jobbing everyone out to Sheamus.

This also suggests that Sheamus will be a babyface for the foreseeable future. Which sucks in itself.

It's also worth noting that long-term booking plans in WWE are pretty much meaningless. These discussions may have taken place, but it wouldn't be surprising at all if they had a completely different philosophy about a month from now.

Vince: 'If I can't have it in the afterlife you can't have it now'

[TRIPLE M]

They're the same age
Horrible choice..Sheamus is more garbage as a face than a heel

The writing was on the wall. They've given Sheamus his own version of the "Super Cena" character. They send him to visit all these kids, make speeches for the Be A Star campaign, etc..

Plus in recent weeks they saw how over the Kane/Bryan vignettes were so they've tried to flip them on to Sheamus even though his failed miserably
