1. WWE reportedly wants to cater to the IWC - check!
2. They're ripping the hell out of the nWo storyline - check!
3. They really really really really need something fancy to get the fans going - check!
4. Cena's throne as the number one merchandise stand with legs is in jeopardy due to a scruffy lookin' dude with X's on his hands - check!
... yeah, if there was EVER a time when a Cena heel turn seemed possible it's now. Either way, like I've said many times before - it's the WWE. It'll be good at first and then you'll blink and wonder how the hell they managed to fuck it all up this time.
Hope he goes heel, though. Dude needs a reboot like Angelina Love needs food.
1.As I said in response to that post, completely bogus. Laughable, really. The IWC is a bunch of fickle, ignorant crybabies who have no idea what they want...every episode of WWE would be a Vince Russo style clusterfuck with storylines changing mid show and no direction if the WWE tried to cater to the IWC, because they're going to complain no matter what the WWE does.
2.How so? There's really little to no similarities between the NWO and what the WWE is doing now.
3.Eh, I guess. But it's not like a Cena heel turn qualifies as something fancy to get the fans going. What they're doing now, without a Cena heel turn, is getting the fans going.
4.True, although a slip to #2 is hardly worth mentioning. Cena's been the top guy for half a decade now. They'll need to see Punk show he can last at the top before they throw away what they have in Cena.
Either way, you are right that it's more possible now than it's ever been. That still hardly makes it likely. And at this point in time, it's the LAST thing Cena needs. Cena needs a reboot like Velvet Skye needs to act more ****ty.
I know the IWC HATES doing this, but let's think this thing through for once. Cena turns heel by attacking The Rock, CM Punk, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The kids and women all start booing and/or crying. What do you think the guys in the audience are going to do? What do you think the IWC is going to do? They're going to cheer the fuck out of him, that's what! He'll still get the same mixed reaction he's getting now, only in reverse. What's the point of that? At least the way it is now, he sells merch and gets his Make A Wish on. They already have CM Punk to make the IWC happy. He's their top face, and Cena is the kids top face. It's a great situation and the WWE would be idiots to screw with it - which is why they haven't done it.
Now, a Rock heel turn at Survivor Series or sometime after? THAT makes sense. Especially if we're talking about a WWE vs. an Anti-WWE stable.
I think we might see a scenario where the team of Triple H, Cena, Punk, Rock, and Austin or Undertaker going against Miz, Truth, Nash, and two other guys that have been fired between now and then(Del Rio, Ziggler, Rhodes, etc) with the latter team getting their jobs back if they win. Now, you do long term damage to Cena(or anybody else on the team besides Rock), his character, and his credibility if he turns.(look at how look it took guys to recover when they joined the Alliance during the Invasion.) But Rock...he's not around now, and he's not going to be around after this storyline, so there's nothing to stop you from turning him against the WWE. And he wouldn't just be turning on Cena, which would only make him a bigger face, but he'd be turning on all the biggest faces in the company, and the company itsself. Put him in a stable with Miz, Truth, Nash, etc afterwards, have him cutting promos about how much he hates the company and the fans and can't wait to leave after WrestleMania...he'll be a huge heel, and you might not even have the mixed crowd reaction you'd expect in a Cena match at WrestleMania.
Plus, let's be honest. The face (if there's just one) should win Cena vs. Rock, and Cena has to win.(despite what the IWC will try to tell you.)
And if Austin agrees to wrestle Punk at WM, you could use the same storyline to turn him heel, because aligning him with Rock is natural and logical.
A WrestleMania card with Cena vs. Rock, Punk vs. Austin, Miz vs. Undertaker, Triple H vs. Kevin Nash...not too shabby. And that's not even mentioning the world title matches, which could be Mark Henry vs. Sheamus and Del Rio vs. Randy Orton(after Orton wins the Royal Rumble).
