As has been the case on many occasions for the WWE since 2001, they simply do not know how to successfully transition/convert successful heels into successful faces........due to the fact that they try and 'alter' the character too much so it's more "fan friendly." Unfortunately - the fans don't care about "good guys".......they care about dynamic characters. This is exactly why Steve Austin and The Rock were so wildly successful when they became faces after lengthy heel runs. Their bad ass personna stayed almost the exact same.

CM Punk going over John Cena last year in Chicago was one of the greatest things for the industry in a LONG time (i.e. probably since Orton defeated Benoit in Summerslam 2004).

Unfortunately, as was the case with Orton in 2004 and with Lesnar in 2002, the WWE tried to do too much with the newly turned face character instead of keeping things as is.

My best advice for the WWE? Instead of attempting to convert wildly successful heels into wildly successful faces (something which they haven't been able to do since 2001), turn these wildly successful heels into wildly successful tweeners first. Let them be tweener for a long time before gradually turning them into a face.

With this in mind, I would have CM Punk go into "tweener" mode instead of being a full-fledged face. The next time The Rock comes back, have him shoot on The Rock.
