He is already both a face and a heel. On one hand, he can be the smiley, goofy, kid friendly, merch selling machine face of the company. On the other hand, Cena is basically a heel to the IWC/older fans already because he refuses to change up his character and does the same corny shit week in week out. If people like us want him to turn heel, wouldn't we cheer him if he started being a typical heel, thus making him more like an anti-hero face?
It's far from an original thought, but I can't recall a thread on the subject so I figured we could discuss it.
If 'heel' Cena would result in kids booing him and smarks cheering for him, isn't it nothing more than a lateral move from WWE's perspective? Spinning their tires in a way?
It's similar to the Attitude Era, where good guys were boo'd and bad guys were cheered, but in a less deliberate and obvious way. So while we chastise WWE for being terrible, maybe in reality they are pushing Super Cena down our throats because they know he is the most over heel in the company, sans the kids and women who love him.
I feel like this thread would have been easier to make if I were high.. my once coherent thought has since turned into drawn out rambling
anyway. Discuss :matt:
