i thinks its for mech sales, normaly whoever cenas facing is quite high on merch sales, cus the anti cena guys jump on the band, the kids will always buy the cena shirts, thats locked, but if others hate him, thell buy the rock shirt because the rock rips on him, maybe am wrong but it seems that would b a good idea
Why Does The WWE Try To Get Cena Booed Viciously?
- Thread starter xsKiitz
- Start date
Cena has lost three of the last four ppv main events. If this were the real reason people were booing Cena they're not paying attention. Super Cena doesn't exist. What does exist is a guy who is extremely popular with some and extremely unpopular with others, and then there are fans who are so smart they'd book themselves right out of business by pushing people who no one gives a crap about over him. And then there's the people who say they'd like him more if they turned him heel. This is nonsense. The reason people are saying this is because they can't stand that people actually do love this guy and want to see him unanimously booed to reinforce their own opinions of the man.
If I were the WWE I would continue to do exactly the same thing. You guys claim you've endured him for 6 years so it's obvious you're not going anywhere. They've got your money, it's only smart business to focus on the people who will switch the channel to Pawn Stars or Dance Moms the moment Cena is replaced in the main events by whoever it is the internet thinks is ready to replace him.

None Of You Guys Get It...The Reason People (Like Myself) Boo Cena is Because People Is Tired Of The "Marky Mark", "Wigger", "White-Boy Thinks He's Black" Character - Persona. He Need To Change His Gimmick, And New Style. But He'd Rather Be This Era's "Hulk Hogan"...Say Your Prayers & Eat Your Vitamins. The Rock Has Came Extremely Close To Saying This In Their Showdowns And The Rock Is Right. Cena's Schtick Is Lame, Tired, Lazy, & Predictable.
He hasn't done anything close to that in forever, in years Cena finally had one free-style rap on The Rock and everyone ate it up.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Cena is making tons of money for the WWE, he is their top draw. It took CM Punk shooting off on the WWE to launch himself over Cena in Merch sales.
I do not like Cena's gimmick, but it works. You can't blame Cena on him being predictable, that is the fault of WWE booking. But it seems creative has turned a new leaf on booking Cena. 3 out of the last 4 PPV's Cena has lost them. And you use the Rock as an example as to saying Cena's gimmick has been getting lame? The guy has been gone for nine years and comes back with the same gimmick and the same one-two he was doing since 1999.
I am in total agreement about the "controversial competitor" tags given to Cena. They back that up by pointing out how people are not for Cena and he 'doesn't' care or thrives off of it or whatever...
Frankly it bores me.
Cena has a gimmick. It's 'company guy'. All the merch opportunities, the movie roles, advertising, interviews, etc. That is who he is to the majority of fans.
Now I admit to no small devilish delight in reading that CM Punk hit number one in merch sales. I know it's small and petty...that still doesn't make it any less sweet
However any attention he gets works FOR him. He makes the most of it. The Miz will be one that will do the same in the future. As will Cody Rhodes. Unless he ends up with a drunk driving, drugs, dead prostitute, animal cruelty, child endangerment, domestic violence, weird porn fetish, etc charge on him I don't see Vince dropping the Golden Goose.
It wouldn't be good business.

Cena usually garners the biggest reaction in WWE regardless of whether it's a face reaction or a heel reaction and they take advantage of that. RVD and CM Punk wouldn't have gotten the reactions they did or been as over afterwards, if they weren't facing Cena. They knew on both occasions that it would beyond simple booing. Certain crowds just downright HATE John Cena and boo him more than any heel. Why not use that heat to their advantage?
As for facing The Rock in Miami? Unless they plan on turning him heel, there is no good reason for him to go into that environment. He's not elevating the Rock. The Rock SHOULD be elevating him. So either Cena's turning heel, or the office made a mistake just for a few extra Wrestlemania buys.

I honestly do not think that Cena would ever turn heel again, ever. He is the WWE's cash cow, whether anyone likes it or not, he makes the WWE money, and at the end of the day, that is what it's all about, is making money, and turning Cena heel will make all the little kids stop buying his merchandise, which costs the WWE money.
Now, if the world ended and Cena did turn heel, he would need to turn full rapper like he was before Wrestlemania 21, which seems like it was yesterday, yet it was 6 years ago... man has time flew.

IT IS BROKE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. He Has A New Movie Coming Out And It Sucks I Got To See A Pre-Screening Of It And It Was Horrible. Cena Is An "Image Guy" And That's Ok, But Just Like The Undertaker Changing His Gimmick, He Got Even More Of A Pop When Appeared From The Curtains...And So Did Hogan, Sting As Well.
Yes, The Rock Has Came Back With The Same Gimmick But You Know Why The Can Do That And Cena Can't? It's Because The Rock Has Total Charisma...He's Very Charismatic. Something John Cena Is Not. Cena Will Lose The Popularity Contest When It Somes To The Rock Simply Because He Has More Style, Flair, & "Cult Of Personality"
BTW CM Pancake...How Can You Own Anyone When You Can't Afford To Pay Attention To The Very Logical Words That Are Coming Out Of My Mouth?

Why do you start every word in caps? Is something wrong with your keyboard?
Anyway, he still comes out to a rap song. That's your complaint? Cena himself doesn't do the rapper gimmick anymore, save for one time when he pulled out the old gimmick for the Rock. And guess what? People liked it because it was fresh!
The rest of your post is hard to debate because it's almost impossible to follow your strange style of writing.
Hey Giving Headman,
Then I'll make sure the next time I post something...I'll post it to you like the equivalent of a 5 yr old. Everyone else seems to read very well what I am saying. You too illiterate to understand, so I'll do my part to help the legibly handicapped like yourself, (Giving) Headman.

I think the bigger question is "Why do a bunch of grown men insist on ruining the show for everyone else?" If you people are bored with him, stop trying (and failing) to antagonize him and make someone else a bigger star.
As far as them booking Cena to get booed.. Umm.. Yeah. "Let's have own number one money maker look like everyone hates him!" I know that creatively things since HHH returned have given Russo a huge boner, but that is just piss poor business.
I think it is just a matter of Cena going against people who are against his moral values and not trying to be 'cool.' Cena stands for truth, justice, and the American way. When you look at his feuds, the ones that were against these values got booed heavily (Khali, Umaga, Batista, Wade Barrett/Nexus). The ones that insisted on not playing to Cena's values got cheered because a bunch of guys who never seen a real vagina before have nothing better to do. Granted there has been a couple of weird exceptions (Orton who does what he want, when he wants and the fans love him; Del Rio who couldn't get heat if he literally set the building on fire), but for the most part this is true.

I fail to see the logic behind the thread starter's post. They were not TRYING to get Cena boo'ed. He is the top face. Their goal is for him to get the reactions that Hogan did. Obviously that will never happen until the Attitude Era fanboys realize that they are living in the past. It isn't WWE's doing. They want people to root for Cena because he is their top guy. The guys who insist on always chanting "Cena sucks" are the ones who are to blame. It's really annoying. Telling Cena you think he sucks is not going to turn him heel. Grow up, move on. The WWE changed years ago and the haters need to embrace that change or find something else to watch. Anyone who thinks WWE are trying to get Cena boo'ed have lost their mind. A heel turn could perhaps be set up for his match with The Rock, but I really don't think that's the case. He always comes out as himself each night ignoring the reactions. Some crowds like him more than others. The Wrestlemania 28 crowd probably will hate him. That's not what matters. We will be getting one of the most anticipated matches of all time that night. The last thing on WWE's mind there is "can we get Cena boo'ed on purpose here?". There is so much else going on with that match that far outweighs something as dumb and untrue as that.

Best angle of all: retirement
Oh, so hopeful. To be young and ignorant and short sighted. Well, except for that young part. What kind of dried up old man is still crying about rap music in 2011? Jeezus. Ah, oh well.
Anyway, yup, CM Punk is at the top of the recent merchandise report, so hurray for him. Glad I picked up his shirt. But those numbers aren't the be all end all for all time, baby. It's for one little stretch of time. WWE for certainty sees this, and knows that Punk is worth keeping on the scene for some time to come, but it's also onto Punk to keep his own ass there too. We're still a long ways from Punk being a #1 in everything over Cena. He's got to stay out of trouble and keep from being injured. He's got to keep interest in his character and stay as vocal and as visible as he's been recently. Little turds like you expect things to chance your way over night, but it's just not going to happen that way. Punk has shown he's got the potential to be just as over and as successful as Cena; now he's got to deliver.
What's broken, baby? Do you plan on going into that at all and backing up such a stupid claim, or you just gonna hide behind more odd Cena knocking? Ratings dip and climb by tenths of a point these days, so there are no real points swings like the old days. And speaking of the old days, anyone who can read and comprehend what numbers mean can see that ratings have been what they've pretty much always been since 2002. So, again, what's so broken? And no, just crying "I DON'T LIKE IT" isn't going to cut it.
Also, I'd LOVE to hear more about your ridiculous theory of "Image guys".
Sorry, no. Rocky came back to some huge pops, and then Cena turned that shit right back on him by cutting him up promo after promo. Rocky retorts with baby jokes and petty mockery, and Cena comes after him with promos that made Rocky look like an over-reactionary asshole. Rock is all played out catchphrases and gimmicks, no different than what you demonize Cena for. The only difference is that for one reason or another you like Rock whereas you don't like Cena. So, hey, cool man, you're a cool man, I can tell, and it's totally ok for you to have such a man crush on Rocky, man. It's cool. But that doesn't make any kind of difference in a conversation or debate like this.
Not really. You express your thoughts like a Jr. High School student. You make claims and accusations but you don't follow through with any of them, leaving only a weak case for your opinions and beliefs. Also, the caps thing; lose it. Makes you look like amateur hour bullshit.
Well, looking at it right here, all I see is an idiot trying to cop the internet forum tough guy style, but doing a bad job of it. Keep it up, chump.
Don't have to tell me twice, baby.
Clever.
Isn't that what you were doing?
*crickets*
"You too illiterate"? Oh jeez. You're one to talk, baby. Is English your second language or something?
Thanks For The English And Grammar Lesson...If Every Word In This Sentence Is In Capital Letters...Go Run To A Friend And Ask Them To Translate What I Said To You. And Remember, I'm Here To Help...It Is My Destiny To Suck Ass
Oh, it's not the letters, it's the choice of words. You're pretty bad at this. And, again, you don't have to tell me twice.
I don't think they're TRYING to get him boo'd so much as they realize that a guy like Cena is the perfect opponent for guys like Punk and RVD, whose fanbase is more than a little made up of ancient Attitude Era fogies and new-age Smarks. MitB was Punk's show, period. It was to either be his greatest victory or his swan song in the WWE. RVD at One Night Stand was a no-brainer; the man IS ECW in the eyes of many. As for WM, I still will hold out on whether or not Cena will eat the big wave of hate. Depends a bunch on how Rock is portrayed going into WM.
Does WWE know sometimes when Cena is going to catch some hate? Yes.
Do I think they do it intentionally to get Cena boo'd? No.

Getting Noticed By Management
So we've finally reached the point where it's come full circle twice, to people thinking they're being cool and defiant for sticking up for Cena...because people who think they're cool like to hate him.....because 7 year olds think he's cool? It's reached a loop of perpetual irony. Unfortunately, it's a point of diminishing returns. It's just confusing and weird. Not in a Twin Peaks way, in a Michael Bay what-the-hell-is-happening way.
I don't think it's making people wanna see his matches more. I've said before and I maintain that Cena's killing the ratings, but people think I'm crazy. They're going to point at him as the reason some people are still watching rather than the reason everybody else is tuning out until they're pulling 1.0s.

I don't think anyone's thinking they are cool and defiant by simply answering the OP's question to be honest. I'm not a big Cena fan by any means, but there's a reason he's the top guy in the company and part of that is the reaction he garners from audiences who either attend/tune in to see him win or lose.
It's also not the wisest thing to generalise people's attitudes when it comes to support for a wrestler by the way as some people will be more vocal at one time than another. Just saying.
People may think you're crazy because, well, where's the proof of his killing of the ratings? WWE and wrestling in general are past their second golden period of high ratings due to numerous factors, but at this moment in time Cena is the top guy of the industry, like it or not. Part of the reason for this is due to his connection to the audience, be it in a positive or negative manner (the cheers/boos aimed at him) it still contributes to his top dog position.
