Then about a year later the Marine comes out and the WWE gutted everything left that got Cena over with the crowds in favor of a more military or patriotic inspired character. Crowds reacted negatively because of how forced the switch was and it being the basis for the Super Cena view of the character.

By that point whatever goodwill the fans had left with Cena was gone afterwards.
It started there, to be sure. I just don't think it was as hostile quite yet.

Also, I'm sure Vince would have had Harvey Whippleman visit an animal shelter and pick up a 5 gallon bucket for Angle if he thought he wouldn't have caught shit from PETA.
