Could temptation and DX facilitate John Cena turning to the dark side?

[Ol'Canucklehead]

In everything we see, what is the one thing that makes good men go bad? Temptation. Cena is a boy scout who these days is more of a joker then a thug like he used to be. Now, he has been tagging with DX in recent weeks and to make this plan successful he would have to join DX. I know, I know some people hate that idea but I think in it’s current state Cena would fit in well.

For a while he would be the guy he has been for the last few years and it would be comical, but eventually he would really start enjoying playing pranks and doing stuff like dropping crap on people. This is where temptation kicks in. DX’s pranks would evolve and become more sadistic, a result of Cena “taking it too far” and really enjoying being an ass for once.

Now this would lead up to an eventual conflict within the group, and you could even have a mystery person consoling Cena, making him feel as though he does these things for a purpose. He could lay into the other members for not remembering where they came from and forcing them to put him on the sidelines for a bit. To think it out.

After about 2 weeks of this and more talks with the mystery string puller Cena would complete his heel turn by turning on DX and forming hi own group to battle them in a way more reminiscent of the old DX. A Degeneration-Y if you will. (But I would not call them that). Members of his new group would consist of the more cocky young superstars. (Ziggler, Swagger, Miz (rolls his eyes) etc…)

Now I know this sounds a bit like star wars but it was not intended to, but how can you have a temptation story not sound like star wars lol.

 

[school-of-hard-knocks]

It is a good idea in my opinion. Legacy is a fine example of a young stable that has made big strides without really doing much other than tagging along with Orton and beating people down. I think there are enough of RAW superstars at the moment to create a great young, cocky, heel stable. John Cena, Carlito, Chris Masters and Miz would be a nice fit together. Cena would be "the man" in the group. Chris Masters could be an enforcer as he is still pretty big (265lbs). Carlito and Miz could form a tag team that I believe would get over well due to their natural cockyness.

Notice how I put everyone who has feuded with Cena in the past in this group. It is for a reason. The whole idea of the group would be "We're younger and better than all of you so why should we fight each others?" And I would include a pair of heel divas to the group (Maryse, Rosa Mendes).

 

[SuperKick36]

I was thinking about that the other day, how Cena needs to join a group of somesort. Now, Cena's character now is the "lone ranger" basically. I don't think that adds to his character, though. Every legendary superstar has been a part of a group... at least the ones in the past 25 years. The ones that are world famous... Hulk Hogan (NWO), Ric Flair (Four Horseman), HHH and Shawn Michaels (DX), Undertaker, The Rock... just to name a few. The only one I can think of that didn't really join any stable was SCSA. But John Cena doesn't have the flexibility or the character type to DO the Stone Cold thing, and in the PG era, it's nearly impossible.

I don't think joining DX would happen, but it might. It would be good if Cena rekindled the DX stable, buuut it would destroy what DX was.

 

[The Incredible Mr. C]

Okay, here comes the voice of reason...

Cena will not be turning heel for a good long while. It might be fun to fantasy book ways it could be done, but let's be serious. Here's why...

A. The whole shift to this TV-PG deal has Vince going back to the days of Hogan as a superhero type character. Who is currently in that Hogan role? John Cena. When Hogan had his incredibly long run at the top of the WWF, there was no thought of him turning heel. His character did become incredibly stale, in my opinion, but as long as he kept selling merchandise and PPV's, he was kept as a face. Which leads me to...

B. Cena is a cash cow for Vince McMahon. I've seen argued here that he is not the merchandising focus of the company. But go to wwe.com. One hundred and eighty eight items for sale when you search Cena. Just for comparison's sake, DX has seventy three. Jeff Hardy, who was selling tons of stuff, has sixty seven. The closest to Cena seems to be Rey Mysterio, who has one hundred seventy five. That includes all different colors of masks and replica pants. (Who knew they sold replica pants?) Faces sell way more merchandise than heels.

C. The E is doing the TV-PG thing in hopes of hooking the younger fans in and making them fans for life. If their hero suddenly turns on them, do you not think they would turn the channel? When these kids are older and have gotten bored with Cena, it will be time to turn him heel. Much like when Hogan joined the NWO. I grew up on Hogan but was entirely bored with him by 1996.

D. There's just really no need to turn him heel. Especially at this point. Who are the really over faces in the company? I mean REALLY over? Cena, Triple H, Michaels, Undertaker. That's probably it. When Edge comes back, we know he will get a huge face pop and likely be turned. So that's five. There are rumblings all over the place that Michaels and Taker will be retiring soon, at least within the next year. The E's track record for building new stars, much less new faces is poor recently. Another reason not to turn Cena now.

Again, it can be fun to do the fantasy booking thing, but I personally try to keep it realistic. When you hear wrestlers talk about wrestling, they refer to it as, "the business." Business. There's a reason for that. It's all about making money.

And while I'm here, the OP mentions a mystery string puller but never reveals who it would be. I imagine the same person who drove the white Hummer and fathered Stacy Kiebler's baby. If you're gonna fantasy book, please complete your story. Don't be all Russo about it.

 

[Liberace]

its time for CENA to turn bad because it's boring, it's the same repetition with him and Vince hears the fans jeering this marky mark wannabee wigger so why not turn him bad?
Him turning heel and have Orton turn face would be super great , I think it's time for Orton to turn face somewhat and have CENA turn bad but him joining DPX I don t think so he can be heel alone without the 40+ stars

 

[ABMorales787]

John Cena to me is like Chuck Norris, they both find themselves, for one reason or another, incapable to do bad, its a weird comparison but that's what I think, anyway, like I said he's morally incapable of doing the kid's wrong, the only way he would go heel or just attack a good guy for some reason is if McMahon told him to, and still I think he would complain about it. Too bad really, he was an awesome heel. So for him to be tempted, I hope its just in kayfabe, because if he get's tempted into being more of a driving force in the booking like Triple H, we would probably see something close to the N.W.O. days, at least that's what I think.

 

[Tyler44]

If wwe feels like they cant turn him heel because of all his merchandise fans buy, then that is a shitty reason. First off, wwe gets a shit load of money in the first place at an event, then they get all this merchandise sold the from big named guys to even gain more. If they fear they will lose money at an event due to cena merchandise, then just create another huge face. People will still buy mysterio masks, cena shirts, fake belts, dx shit, and hornswoggle hats (why do 10 year old kids love dumpy leprachauns, i thought like 4 year olds did).

Turning him heel will still sell. Look at all the orton shirts that people buy. Bottom line, create a new face becuase the wwe can make a new face since they created hogan, cena, hbk, the rock, stone cold, etc.

 

[lenguy]

ok people need to stop giving reasons as to why wwe or vince wont turn cena heel...we get it..merchandise yadyayada. we know we know.the question is all just a big what if? not what should. it diverts from the actual topic because people feel the need to put the poster in their place because such talk of cena being heel is omg the work of the devil! people need to forget about reality for 5 seconds and talk about fantasy. what if cena did turn heel? it just might bring in a new era into the business who knows. stop talking about why it wont happen. because we all know it wont for sometime, and just discuss the actual topic without drifting into vinces cena heel = no money phycology.Hogan still sold plenty of merchandise when he was a heel. so did austin. i think cena still would to.just think all those haters out there would finally have a reason to love him again, sure all those kids might feel betrayed.the women would still love him ether way i see a good balance there.you just flip flop the haters with the kids.but thats not for a good while yet

 

[Maikeru_1979]

i was watching something on USA a few days ago and it was talking bout Cena once again being the champion blah blah blah..but then it brought up the "Savage Beating at the Hands of Randy Orton" and something or other..can't remember exactly what it was that was said.

but when i heard it the first thing that I thought was here it comes...the really slow build up to an eventual Cena heel turn. I don't mean if like a month or two...but i mean 6 or even 8 months from now(right about wrestlemania actually) where he finally snaps and turns on the faces

and to hell with they won't turn him cause of merchindise sales someone about said there were hundreds of Cena items on WWEShop.com...but that's because the come out with new shirts, arm bands, hats for Cena like ever 3 or so weeks. that's why he sells so much crap. cause once the majority of the crowd has the current Cena Wear they create a new on.
and as a heel I really think that he would still sell just as much.

 

[DiscipleofWrestling]

I think that Cena will eventually turn heel. To quote Darth Vader, it is his destiny. As someone else said previously, he was a great heel. But I also agree with someone else who said that Vince won't turn Cena heel due to PG ratings, merchandising, and the other crap reasons we get everytime this subject comes up. The sad part is the people who keep saying those reasons are right in a way. As much as we hate the reasoning, Cena will stay face.

I'd like to see them maybe put a Cena faction together that would be popular with the young fans against another faction that would be popular with the other fans and create a conflict, sort of like the WCW vs. nWo feud. There could be unholy alliances on both sides, and both sides would serve as the faces to their generation of fans and the heels of the followers of the other group. I think it would be a good feud to polarize the fans and create some great energetic crowds for a few months if booked correctly. Parents could bring their children to the matches, let them chant "Let's Go Cena, reply with the "Let's Go ________" on a regular basis, buy merchandise, and leave having had a good time despite being on opposite camps at a wrestling show.

Other than that, a Cena heel turn is likely 3 years away at best. They'll milk the Cena bandwagon until they've created enough bad movies to make Hulk Hogan look like Jack Nicholson. I like the idea of Cena turning heel though. The man's heel run in 03 was awesome, especially in the summer when he was feuding with Undertaker and Kurt Angle. I'm not even a Cena fan, but I think he did his best work at that time.

 

[JJYanks121]

In this day and age with weekly shows, overexposure, and impatient fans, it is inevitable that the roles of individuals as characters will change more often than before the Raw days and certainly more since the internet wrestling community was born. I don't know when, or why, or how it will happen, but inevitably the 32 year old Cena will be a heel again, if even for a short time.

As for the original topic of this thread (which completely went off on a tangent), I do not think that Cena tagging with DX will lead to anything. It's done because it's logical. Cena is feuding with Orton, DX with Legacy, so you put them all together in a faces vs. heels melee. It's simple booking, and variations of those 6 men in different matches keeps each feud going with seemingly fresh matchups every week.

If you've noticed recently, DX seems more serious due to their loss to Legacy, and I think it's a good direction for them. This is a different side to DX and one I think that can entertain just as well, so the idea that they will go nuts with pranks........it seems they are going in the opposite direction. Also, it's fun to think of a "guiding voice" but for a guy as big as Cena, anyone short of Vince McMahon himself you'd wonder "why would Cena be listening to this person?" It's just not logical.

I don't expect a Cena heel turn any time soon, but at some point, it will happen, just as at some point Jericho will be a face again, Edge will clearly be a face soon, and you will see twists and turns throughout. It's these changes that keep the shows fresh. It's a weekly show EVERY week of the year, if no one ever changed, you'd be able to predict feuds and shows even easier than you do now. My best guess would be in about 2 years, give or take, for Cena, but I think his heel turn will be like Stone Cold's. It will be a shock, but the fans won't totally buy it and he'll be a heel for maybe 6 months. Here's to waiting to see.

 

[samboisdead]

Not gonna happen. Cena and DX will probably be teaming up alot but Cena will never be an official part of DX. First off Cena is world champ, the world champ is always the leader of a group. HHH isnt going to let Cena become leader of DX. Second you no HHH couldnt really like Cena. I mean Cena is more popular than him and younger so no way HHH is going to help Cena become even more popular by letting him in DX. As far as Cena going heel. Not going to happen. Cena is a movie star, needs to be face to promote his movies. Cena is one of the most mainstream wrestlers out their today. I see him in weightlifting, teeny, comic, and sports magazines and shows. He is really the only current roster start that I see pretty much everywhere I go. They cant promote a heel wrestler this way. Cena is also one of if not the biggest money makers in wrestling especially with hardy pretty much a thing of the past now. Honestly guys I no we like to dream, but the bottom line wrestling is about money. Would you turn your biggest cash maker bad and give away all that money? Last but not least who would take his spot. With Hardy gone, Batista close to retirement, Undertaker almost gone, Shawn almost gone, HHH a wannabe face(come on this is the guy who needs to go back heel), and no young superstar with real charisma to capture the audience(and dont give me that Morrison bullshit I love him to incredible wrestler but do you really see him as ever being a big enough star to throw out the first pitch for MLB or be the top guest on the Tonight Show?) they cant turn Cena heel because no one else can do his job.

Hey everyone I'm new here but have a wealth of knowledge for wrestling it is my life next to my daughter of course but imagine this if you will. Right now on Smackdown we have a storyline of The Undertaker being screwed by Teddy Long and Scott Armstrong who both said that their jobs are being held over their heads by someone higher on the totem pole than them. Obviously that man is Vince McMahon may the mind of everyone grasp this, the master plan of VKM with talk of the Undertaker retiring Vince has set in motion the plan for the main event of WrestleMania 26 The Undertaker vs John Cena the only man Vince would let end the Undertakers streak at Mania so it could be the swerve of the century just like Mania 17 with Austin imagine seeing McMahon embrace Cena as they stand over Taker on the grandest stage of them all of course Cena would not be the Champ as that would be the premise for him aligning with Vince he loses all chances at holding the belt again so he joins Vince to get the Championship once more thus turning Heel but also having a good reason to turn face when the time is right saying that he joined Vince against better judgment but he did what needed to be done because now once again the CHAMP IS HERE!!!

 

[waylonmercy]

Cena turning heel I can't see happening. He essentially is the secret potion of WWE's chemistry. Playing with good chemistry is NOT a good idea. What is good about WWE is that they are making profits in a year of recession. As long as WWE is profitable, Vince is happy and I am sure shareholders are too. It would be great to see Cena turn heel but right now he is 32 in the prime of his career. Hogan only turned heel when he knew that he had to try something or risk losing his spot on top. I'd love to see him turn heel and group up with Orton and Edge but whos going to be the top face to replace him? You would require a believable face who is over with the crowd and would be serious challengers.

Ummmm.....why would they do this? Cena doesnt need to beat Taker to be legit he alreadt is. Only reason I see them ever ending the streak is to build someone new. Plus it still destroys Cenas charachter because even if he has no shot at the belt Cenas charachter is all about doing what is right no matter what i.e. him respecting HHH when they faced even though HHH was portrayed as a peice of crap at the time. Also Mcmahon likes the fact that he created Taker see the Corporate Ministry so why would he want to make it look like he destroyed one of his greatest creations. As far as Mania 2010 I am pretty sure we will either get Cena/Batista or Cena/HHH. If Shawn surprises everyone and decides to go this year might be Cena/Micheals. I honestly dont belive the Undertaker retirement hype. I no his knees are fugged up but lets be honest. You dont quit wrestling, once its in your blood your hooked worse than a heroin addict. Even if he only works once a year I expect to see Taker at least for another 10 Manias. To do this and make money he cant ever lose at a Mania. honestly guys I dont no Takers age but i figure he is somewhere in his late 40s. I no he is younger than Sting and from what I understand the stinger is like 50. Taker still looks young in the face hard to belive he is that old. Hogan is in his mid 60s so is Flair and we could still see either one of them in a Mania in the future. So the way I see it Taker can make Mcmahon money for at least the next 10 to 15 years as long as the streak is intact so dont expect to see it end anytime soon. I mean I could honestly see WM 15 years from now Undertaker vs HHHs son or something with the streak on the line.

No one said anything about John Cena needing the credibility of ending the streak of course he doesn't need to but that's the point he doesn't need it but in a way he does because besides women and children not one true wrestling fan at least a real wrestling fan likes John Cena if he were to turn on the fans just like Austin your telling me that the "marks" out there wouldn't crap their pants and those actions would not cement Cena into Icon status really something that HHH or HBK or Orton or Batista or Kane 2 times or Edge or even the Nature Boy Himself couldn't do end the streak! If that were to happen along with the resume that Cena already has under his belt instant talk of Greatest of all time even if you don't like him you would definitely have to respect him. See I'm not saying it's gonna happen but if it did that would be the most memorable moment in wrestling history period!

Everyone escapes what is really taking place, which is what has always, and will always be… the reason that Cena’s not going to turn heel. Vince runs a big production, lights, music and makeup. The WWE runs on characters, and every “Superstar” in the WWE fulfills a certain role. There can only be one type at a time. You’ve been following this all of these years, but never really knew. Think about it…

The Deadman = Undertaker
The Monster = Kane
The Game/Cerebral Assassin = Triple H
The Heart throb = HBK
The Russian = Koslov
The Soldier = Cena
The (street) Thugs = Cryme Time
The Viper = Orton
The Star player =MVP,
…and the list goes on...

Look at this, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan used to be a big burly guy. Now that he’s gone, who took his place? Mike Knox. John Cena used to do Hip Hop until Cryme Time came along. Notice, R-Truth is the only one that raps… no one else! Batista didn’t become the “Animal” until after “Road Warrior” Animal retired (remember when the LOD had that last stint a few years ago?) Jack Swagger is running the old “Patriot” gimmick that Hogan used to play. That’s why a heel turn would never work. Beyond the Merchandising, Vince would actually have to rework his characters…

 

[Cjslick101]

John Cena's Character has developed into a stage that negates heel turns....
Meaning these past few year his never back down, never quit, Marine Make a wish foundation persona will not allow a heel turn....
It would be a dumb angle for business and would only tank...
It would be like when they turned Mr. Kennedy face only this time it's the other way around... (MVP as a face is a joke) It's career suicide and business suicide...
That's like turning Jeff Hardy heel.... it just won't work.... not again anyway...

With that said, I'd love to see Triple H heel one last time before it's all said and done...
and maybe Christian.....

 

[peanut]

I think Cena officially joining DX would kill any meaning that DX has right now. In fact, it would be overkill; the fact that they joined DX in the PG Era is bad enough, but with Cena? They might as well change the stable's name to The Happy 3 or something...

Occasional Cena + DX (as a team) moments are fine, but nothing else.

Dumbest thing I have ever read on this Forum, and that is saying something...


HBK - heart throb. what Woman would find that skinny , balding crosseyed old man attractive, hahaha

and Batista only became the Animal after Roadwarrior Animal left.......Animal and Heidenreich won the WWE tag belts on July 25 2005 ...four months after Batista won his first world title and was going by the nickname the Animal.....

who was " the Viper " before Randy Orton.......

How is Jack Swager a Patriot like Hogan....... cause he admits he's an American?
...


I could spend all day...

Someone could easily be built to take his place....

but if anyone is turning heel soon its not Cena........ its gonna be HHH. I see him and HBK having a feud soon, and it will give Trips a reason to get to Main Event with Cena again at WM .

 

[bigjd691]

john cena has many many years ahead of him when vince sees that the time is right for cena to be heel he will be heel look at austin he was heel and no expected it so we'll see look at cm punks heel turn it wasnt expected untill he cashed in on jeff and the fans booed him and vince said hey his might actually work and here we are a heel cm punk but you never know fans might not een boo him look when they tried to make hbk heel and they still cheered him

 

[lakersyr09]

Cena will never turn heel, because:
1. There are really not big name faces in the wwe, Cena is the only one that is making movies, doing talk shows and still working matches week in and week out.
2. They already have a heel that is similar to what Cena could be as a heel and that is CM Punk, also it seems now that once someone is in a position as heel or face they are stuck there except for mainly the mid-card wrestlers such as MVP(heel on smackdown to face on Raw), Matt-Hardy(face on ecw-heel on ecw-face on Smackdown), etc, Oh yeah soon to be Ted Disease will be a face on Raw to promote his movie.
3. Vince,HHH,HBK, and Undertaker all like Cena as a face for right now, plus with those 4 plus Stephine and Shane, they want to keep the money coming in so they will keep Cena face
4. Cena is face champion, Punk, jericho/show = heel champs, Christen = face champ/but better as heel
5. This Cena is a better Face then the face Cena of old when he first started as a face, u know rapping, and stuff, This Cena is like this Orton, both are filled with Passion and sometimes anger so Cena face/Orton Heel works for this storyline
6. Also this DX is not the cocky old time DX that did everything to piss people off, this is a more serious and grown up DX, now it the dx was the dx that everyone hated that had the new age outlaw, x-pac(sean waltman), and tory then maybe Cena could have been heel, but in today's world it will now happen.

PS, did you guys all forget that before Cena got injured the first time that he actually had a stable with crimetyme, u know when they destroyed JBL's limo, the CTC they wrote on the limo stood for Cena/Crimetyme nation

 

[The Gribbler]

You think Cena will sell as much Merch as a heel?? Kids are the main market for the E' they get their mums and dads to buy them all the crap that the WWE shills to them.

Kids don't get that its all a show, they think it's real like Santa and the Easter Bunny *eyeroll* if Santa didn't drop presents would the kids want to see him? Hell no! If Cena turned heel do you think the kiddies would want to cheer him? To even see him? Hell no!

On Topic: The original idea was really good, but I think I prefer a heel John Cena to be like the face one, an ass kicking machine that doesn't take any shit from anyone. Just drop the boyscout, loyalty respect BS. Make him the heel that the Undertaker was in his American Badass gimmick, he would whip anyones ass without being scared of them. And I loved that character, thats the type of heel I want Cena to be.

He has whipped ass for what? 5 years or so as the face of the company, so it makes sense that when he turns heel he would be just as hard to beat.

Just My Opinion

 

[Xcaliber2001]

Hmm...Interesting topic. John Cena is becoming stale but I don't think joining DX would be the answer. I would enjoy seeing it...I think all three of them would have a lot of fun but I agree that Cena is the champ...and not having him lead DX...the title loses (if any left) it's power.

 

[Thom]

I think all three of them would have a lot of fun but I agree that Cena is the champ...and not having him lead DX...

That's pretty much the problem with this-if Cena was to join DX, who would lead it? Would it be HHH, as is traditional, or would it turn to a power struggle between the two? That seems like a more rational way of turning Cena (or Hunter, I'm not really fussed, as long as one of them did) heel, turning on both of them as he's never one to be controlled by anyone.

Still, I do think it's a good idea, as it would add something to both Cena (give him a change of pace) and DX (it would mean they could go against all of Legacy until that ended, with Cena still in pursuit of the championship.)
