Three old timers in the wwe that I have in mind for this thread...

Kane- What more is left for him to do? I know there not gonna let him have any other huge pushes now because there saving them up for newer guys like ziggler,berret,del rio, and others... so what else can he do? Maybe win the royal rumble?

The BigShow- He has done a lot in the wwe... maybe a strong wwe title reign is best for him because there is not much left for him to do in the wwe..

John Cena- Now that I think about it... Cena has won money in the bank, Royal rumble, elimination chamber,The Tag team title,U.S title,WWE title,World heavy weight championship. And he has had some great feuds... so what more is left for cena.... maybe a feud with taker?

Kane is really just there to push the younger talent, and he does a fine job at it!

Big Show, from what I've seen should just go. Nobody is ever going to get behind him enough for him to get any real push. They could have done a lot more in my opinion for his feud with Cena, but in true WWE fashion, they pretty much fucked it up.

And as for Cena, he seems fine where he is at right now. He could honestly go heel any time now!(My dream really) but WWE had to make Punk heel again. Oh well, Cena is the face of the company, so he's doing what he's doing. I think he's perfectly fine where he is.

Kane is great at pushing new talent, especially when he himself is pushed just beforehand. Man, he has given
us so many terrific feuds over the years. And there will only be more to come.

The Big Show should, as his t-shirt once said, get lost. Over rated, over used, over the hill.

They could actually do a lot with Cena if WWE creative had the balls to take a risk or two. I'm not saying he
should jump on the heel wagon (but that would be interesting to see) but I'd be satisfied with just some
small tweaks to his character to make him interesting. We know he can pull it off, so why not?
Oh yeah, they need their Hogan copy-paste for this era.

Actually now that I think about it. Cena never did have a huge character change has he? Always been the same kind of. Except for his rapper gimmick in early 2000

But what if Cena gets pissed off at the fans reactions? Cm punk goes back to face instantly and john cena goes off on the fans for not appreciating everything he does for them?

Kane; Yeah, he's good for pushing talent. People thought Bryan was over before but not permanently, what WWE are doing now I think will really solidify Bryan, instead of him doing a Miz and sneak back into Mid-card status. Kane is doing great where he is.

Only time I really enjoyed Big show is when he was A; Champion back in like 2000 and B; teaming with Mix and Jericho. I do believe it won't be too long before he hangs up his boots, I would say within two years, so putting over talent until then is fine by me.

Cena; The only thing I can see him doing different is either beating The Undertaker, making him heel... Or the fact that the only thing he hasn't won is King of the Ring. And it would be incredibly hard to book it to be entertaining, but Edge done it all in his career, and I can see WWE wanting Cena to have everything under his hood, being the face of the company for a good eight nine years by the time he's done. He could do both. And overtake the number of reigns the HHH/Flair and the like have.

Cena has been pushed so hard it's got him to the Shawn Michaels stage where he doesn't need to be in the main event or in title matches to stay over.

Problem is, they need him on TV each week but haven't got enough big names/feuds to #occupycena.

So we have a guy who can go another decade, but it'll be nothing but retreads and hashes of old rivalrys like Cena/Punk XV or Cena v Miz part 27.

In my opinion Miz was normally at his best when feuding with Cena. I wouldn't have a huge problem with them feuding again.

Kane - We all know that Kane will not be nowhere near any title picture. Although, since he has returned there were some great feuds for him. He battled with Cena, he was in the WWE Title picture for a while and now he is feuding with Bryan. I see this feud as a push-over for Bryan. That's my answer to what is left for Kane to do. Kane is here to help new talent get bigger/better.

Big Show - I don't know about Show. Since he turned heel he has been a lot more entertaining. Let's face it...Big Show has nothing to offer when it comes to wrestling (At least for me. I don't like giants like him, Henry, Andre, etc.) and when he's doing his baby-face role, it's sooo bring. But through times when Big Show is heel, he gets a lot more entertaining. When it comes to feuding, he can make a great part in a feud against some really strong babyface superstar. I don't know what is left for him to do but as he is pretty old I can see him retiring pretty soon so I'd give him a World Title run.

John Cena - There is nothing Cena can do now so it well get to that face-of-the-company stereotype. WWE Title...lose WWE Title...huge feud against somebody (main eventing PPVs).

If Cena beats Taker and ends the streak, the fans riot. They're REALLY not going to do that. Although I agree that all that's left for Cena to do is face Undertaker at Wrestlemania (and lose. I cannot stress this enough.)

Aside from that, maybe Cena could be used to give the rub to some new guys, like he did with Ryder last year. AFAIK he is a nice guy and team player in real life, too, and certainly wouldn't mind doing that.

As for the other two wrestlers mention, one word: SHOWKANE. It would revitalize the flailing tag team division, plus they were awesome as a tag team, and definitely over. I would like to see that happen. The difference would be that this time, they'd be heels (in line with their current alignments). Maybe they could capture the Tag belts, then drop them to someone like Truth-Kofi to put them over? Other than that, there's nothing much for either of these guys to do, especially at their age and with their physical problems.

Lets not forget if Cena goes heel sometime (looks less likely each passing day) then his career is given an extra boost of life for a couple of years.

Cena is only 35, that used to be the money making years for stars back in the day. He is only getting smarter as a performer, he could take over HBK's spot as a special attraction and be used to make stars.

Kane can join Ron Paul on the campaign trail in 2016.

Big Show could easily play badguy#3 in any movie for the next 10 years.

I was thinking of voting Paul anyway, but this seals it! Paul/Kane 2016!!!

I don't think any serious movie producer would see Show as anything other than the Show. Maybe some indie B-flick.

Just because they have nothing left to prove or any new accolade doesn't mean anything. Cena and Kane are still extremely valuable to the singles division, while Show would be great to help revamp the tag team division.

With John Cena the only big thing left for him to do is wrestle Undertaker at WrestleMania. That is something that will eventually happen as it will bring in huge amounts of money for WWE. I think that they will book it for WM30 to have one of the biggest matches of this generation on a milestone show. Cena is basically the only person that could break the streak so for the first time in quite some time fans will be unsure who will win. A John Cena heel turn will eventually happen but it won't be for a long time. WWE won't risk turning Cena until there are actually some faces that can sell similar amounts of merchandise as Cena. It would be suicide by WWE to turn him right now when their mainevent is so weak. Cena turning heel could be a huge money spinner, like Hogan turning was or it could be a flop like Austin turning.

Kane has pretty much done it all and now is there to bring some star power to the show and give the rub to the younger guys. He continues to be unselfish and puts over more wrestlers each year to help try to create some stars for the future. I am glad that he has finally got the mask back for what could well be his last run.

Big Show is a tough one to book because of his size. I would be using him as a special attraction wrestler, bring him in for a couple of feuds a year that last two or three months each. He is wasted on television each week because you need to maintain this giant aura with him so it is tough having him lose frequently. I can't see him wrestling for that much longer anyway but from now until he retires I would only use him for five or six months out of each year.
