Perhaps, once we see the rise of Kennedy, the company will be almost forced to shift their tunnel vision to the people their guys actually attract.

Assuming Kennedy actually rises. They've teased a face push before and dropped it for whatever.

Originally Posted by darkpower That's actually what I'm not getting. Right now, only Cena's promos are bringing it up (I just started watching again after I heard about the entire Adamle thing. I didn't even know Mike took over the ECW commentary until I heard about that walk out thing, so I don't know if they are bringing it up beyond the promos or not, though I'm doubtful). The promos aren't even doing THAT very well. My point is, with Austin, they REALLY amplified that they really didn't know WHY Austin was being cheered, since he was still doing things that were considered heel. That was the beginning of that whole "heel/face line being blurred" thing to me. Not sure why they ignore it with Cena, but I still think they can use that to clean their image and stop people from thinking that they censor their fans.

My point is that, in doing so, they are declaring themselves winners by changing the goal markers. The fact that they're letting people boo and not ignoring it ONLY shows that they ARE ignoring the larger problem.

Since ticket sales have been consistently down the whole time Cena's been around, it's hard to really say that he puts asses in the seats.

The WWE has reported that tickets are down, viewership is down, and buyrates are down. Ticket prices are up, but does he put asses in the seats?
