The Face/Heel Dynamic: Is Cena missing the heel?

**#BROKEN Hasney** · 08-13-2010, 05:49 PM

There's been 2 times I've enjoyed Cena since he went to Raw. (3 if you count the 2 weeks he arrived and feuded with Jericho/Christian) The first was his feud with Edge. Since he cashed in MITB and got the title, Cena chasing was entertaining and that lasted all the way up until ONS 06.

The second is right now. Actually seeing him fallible against the Nexus and have Jericho call him out on the fact that he probably just wants to protect his own spot has made him seem more human. I guess unlike a lot of people, I didn't mind his mic work all the time, but pretending he was superman was horrible.

Every other feud he's been in, it's seemed like the only way the heel could beat him was with a fluke. Even Orton needed legacy. But now he is feuding against an entire group and he actually seems worried, I don't mind him.

The only part that really annoys me about Cena isn't even his ring work, because I've seen him go in his early days on Smackdown, but his current work is so reliant around certain spots, you can't see him go to his full potential.
