Salvaging John Cena

Rightio, John Cena's been getting booed. It has probably ruined him as a top face. A lot of people suggest turning him heel, which I agree with. What I have noticed about the WWE, though, is that they do little to change John Cena. They hear him getting booed, and they're way of trying to change that is by changing the heels.

This week on RAW, John Cena is facing Vince McMahon. This is obviously a ploy to try and get Cena heat for beating up the boss. You know what? I don't think it will work. Some fans LOVE Vince. If you look into the crowd, you can clearly see some people applaud McMahon. I don't think the crowd will be any less pro-heel. And it's not because they love the heel, it is because they hate the face. If Funaki were in the same position as Cena right now, he would be getting cheered like crazy.

Anyway, my suggestion is this. On RAW, Triple H cuts a promo on John Cena after Cena says Triple H is afraid of him. Triple H says he is afraid of Cena, because he shows all this potential. He beats the likes of Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle, he hoists a man almost as big as Andre the Giant over his head, walks around the ring and slams him on his back. Hogan could barely body slam a man that size. Then have Triple H shift directions and then say that Cena then shows a side which is pathetic. He walks like a retard, wrestles like a retard, talks like a retard, markets to retards, he's got perhaps more potential than anyone else to step foot in a WWE ring, EVER, but he doesn't live the lifestyle. He doesn't travel in the limos he should, or the helicopters he should. He doesn't abuse the women, money or power, he just keeps on going like there's still a mountain to climb. You're on top kid.

Anyway, at WrestleMania, Triple H comes out, and there is another of those big, long stalling until the entrance to make him seem more epic than he is. Cena's music never plays, though. John Cena walks down to the ring without and entrance, with the old green & white tights on that he wore when he faced Kurt Angle on SmackDown! in his debut in 2002.

Cena then WRESTLES Triple H. He shows us the talent we all expected him to have, and he takes Triple H to the limit psychologically. He doesn't play to the crowd, he doesn't do any of that Five Knuckle Shuffle shit, he just works Triple H to a pulp.

If John Cena did this, I don't think he would be as heavily booed. The fans hate the gimmick. They hate the rapper shit. I think if Cena wore wrestling attire, wrestled and wasn't so kid-based, the fans would have no reason to hate him.

If the WWE is so worried about losing John Cena as a top face, I think this is a scenario they should at least try. If John Cena still gets booed, THEN turn him heel. I think they need to feel out whether or not people hate Cena the performer or Cena the character. If they only hate the character, as soon as John Cena turns he is going to get cheered, anyway. If they hate the performer, well, this scenario doesn't make things any worse than they already are.
