Cena cheating to end the streak would have destroyed the universe.
Deadpool ultimate heel turn
But the only problem is 20% of the fans would have stopped watching WWE thinking we can't tolerate this Cena crap anymore
More like breaking hell loose
Heck they'll dox him and his family with death threats maybe
@@gamechanger700 tbf 20% of the fans stopped watching when undertaker’s streak broke so lmao
If he had cheated to beat RVD I honestly think they would have torn apart the hall
+Adam Phillip Damn the place would've imploded.
Adam Phillip yeah I could see that
Winning clean would have turned them on the bookers and the company, winning dirty would just turn them against Cena. That's my opinion
I DO like how Cena seemed to enjoy being boo'd in that match, though. That could have been a perfect opportunity to turn him heel.
How do you cheat in an Extreme Rules match?
I always thought the night Rey had to fight a championship match twice in one night was bullshit. Rey won and had to defend the belt in the same night losing it to John Cena. Always thought that would've been a good angle to make Cena heel. Showing how the company has had his back by giving him a tired Rey to hand over the belt for an easy match.
true af it was illogical and unfair for rey to lose it to face cena. if he was heel,it wouldve mattered less.
I forgot about that match till now, not sure what WWE was thinking. smh
They didn't truly care, after all they wanted Punk to be champ at that moment
9Kualalumpur a punk vs Mysterio re hash would've been cool
KingRoscoe But it wouldn't have been a year long feud
Anyone else feel like Adam might have turned this into a how wwe should have booked? lol
Hmm, are you a Nirvana fan because your name reminds me of a song from In Utero, and yes, Adam must enjoy doing that a lot in videos, just to show how better at booking than WWE
+Dale Warren are you a nirvana fan because your profile picture reminds me of the lead singer and, nothing else.
Yeah but sadly I was born in 2002 and if you didn't already know the singer is Kurt Cobain and, nothing else
+Dale Warren be thankful you were not born in 1930.. at least this way you have access to a whole plethora of music and, so much more!
He did. How WWE should have booked ending the streak
The only chance they have right now is to turn him heel is to tie Ric Flair's 16 championships in a cheating way.
Have him win, then lose, then cheat to get 17.
ducksox_815 He doesn't have to surpass the record. Just tieing it is enough to piss everybody off.
+NOISIA Official he's gonna get the record no matter what so be mad if you want
Have him try and fail, try and fail, try and fail, cheat and succed.
Then go on a tirade about how he is the greatest champion ever. Then he challanges the champion of the RAW (maybe a face AJ) and beats them too (with shenanigans) to get 17 titles
Double turn with AJ? I could get behind that.
7:55 John Cena would have most likely been attacked or even possibly murdered if he had done anything but lost to RVD that night
Scott Burton yeah maybe
They won't do sh*t lmao
He *did* lose, and they *still* tried to ambush him, and security were so concerned for his safety that they *sneaked* him out of the building.
@scott 😂 standard WWE fan.
You really think WWE fans would do anything.. nah they too small to mess with a juiced up cena💯🤦♂️
@@A_Valeska They where ECW fans and if cena would have won they would have genuinely rioted
I hate to admit it but yes If John took on the Undertaker and cheated OMG He could never go back to being a good guy. That would have been a heal turn to beat all heal turns in history
it would have been like Larry Zbyszko when he turned heel on Bruno Sammartino or The Fabulous Freebirds in Texas
Yes. Thats true
It would have had a bigger impact than Brock Lesnar beating him, just because he's Brock Lesnar.
brock lesnar is more believable though
Papi G no
The Orton double turn could've been amazing
Eidan Baruch no
The point that John needed to turn heel has come and gone, it just doesn't matter anymore, we know it's never going to happen but now that the WWE has new faces at the top of the card and the product doesn't feel as stale as it once did, it's just something that doesn't need to happen anymore
but wwe is so dissected and exposed for finding the face of the company, it is a end of a era of being the face of the company, since 2013
Why did I read this in Adam's voice ???????
I disagree, a Cena heel turn would reinvigorate not only his character but could also help revitalise the company as a whole. What wresting really needs right now is something big and unexpected happening, and what could be bigger than the most famous face in the industry turning heel. He's only 39 years old, Hulk Hogan was 42 when he turned heel and founded the NWO. A decision that helped turn WCW into a true ratings rival for WWF.
the loss to AJ at Summerslam may be a new perfect opportunity! not that I believe Vince will pull the trigger on it but still....
it also destroyed it.
If cena did turn heel, what would he is t-shirt say? Laziness treachery disrespect?
1.) Always #1 so it is like he is belittling other wrestlers
2.) I Am Better Than You
3.) Cena = Franchise
the "lol cena wins" is more than enough.
+slifer875 *cena wins lol
but yea that would be the ultimate troll
How bout his very first catchphrase: WORD LIFE!
HERE'S A LITTLE LESSON IN TRICKERY
I still remember the good ol' Dr. Thuganomics, the chain and dem brass knucles lol.
XWeedhunterX now imagine a 40 years old john Cena do that, that's what everyone want. That's a big no for me hahaha
@@potatodude9945 WrestleMania 35 lol
Dude... If Cena cheated to end the streak.......
Just thinking about that pissed me off and I'm a huge Cena fan
Abdullah Al Mansour Exactly. That would have been the biggest heel turn in wrestling history and the biggest oportunitie to make cena heel.
I wouldn't have hated that if he was using the thuganomics gimmick. And cheating to end the streak makes taker look strong rather than beating him clean. This was better than getting beaten by Brock imo
Well, he has now a part timer status (more or less), and he's putting on great matches recently. I personally think that it's not necessary to turn him heel.
Not anymore sadly, the one person they need to turn heel is Roman Reigns now. A John Cena heel turn in the past would of been good but there's not much that they could do with turning him heel now.
+Mark Foy him becoming a 16 time champion cheating against aj in the future, then aj goes over cena at mania for WM moment
That can work. It's just since Cena is a part time performer now. he's not on another non-US tours and he's starting to focus on other things that they wouldn't be able to utilise him being a heel as much of they could of it they did it earlier in his career.
+Mark Foy yeah, but if he goes out the old fashion way (losing) like flair, HBK, it should be by the man who was just the star he was in the other promotions mr TNA, ROH, NJPW, it would show that wwe has really changed. John cena vs aj styles for the wwe championship at wrestlemania is one of the biggest dream matches of our era.
Absolutely I completely agree.
they're gonna replicate the Hogan turn. when Cena's like 60. And bald.
This...
Yah building NWO V.2
@@vincentsison8482 NwO Cena leads further credibility to your statement.
@@optimus2008 yeah maybe with Orton and Styles
Facts wwe dumb asf they wait to it’s to late thst y I stop watch this fake shii
I think they should have made Cena beat the streak, he deserved it way more than Lesnar, he should have at least wrestled Taker once at Wrestlemania even if he did lose taking on the streak was the only thing Cena never got to do in WWE.
he has never had the intercontinental championship
there was talks about it happening at mania's 27 & 32
It would have been the greatest heel turn in wrestling history.
He’s never won the IC championship
No! If anything, cena should cheat to beat the streak. Because if cena beat the streak fair and square, it would seem like the wwe is forcing to make cena the best
John Cena running in and giving Sasha Banks an AA allowing Charlotte to pin her at SummerSlam and take the Women's Championship.
Lmao
feminists would definitely hate him
Then all the SJW's and feminazis crying about WWE abusing women, lolz
Actually the feminists would probably be happy that men and women were treated as equals. Stop assuming things about feminism.
+Blair Styles No they wouldn't lol unless it's the other way around, but if it's a man hitting a woman. They would go insane and call WWE sexist.
He will never turn Heel, the company will loose a lot of money if they ever turn him heel
How would the lose money? They would gain money from it, because more people would pay to see his events. Well, if they use his heel turn right, they would.
+Exodus Taris they will lose a lot of money on merch sales and ticket sales.
+WendyWorshipper 101 because he was over with the crowd
+WendyWorshipper 101 lmao you cannot compare them both 😂😂 two different superstars, 2 different eras.
+WendyWorshipper 101 Stone cold was over with the teen and adults, John Cena is over with the kids (which brings along their parent(s) because kids can't buy merch themselves. John Cena turns heel, kids stop liking him, bye bye parents money.
Technically Cena is already a heel since he gets booed in every arena he walks into.
That was Cena's reasoning for why it's pointless to turn him heel.
Stinkmeaner Tom And using sick children too.
+Stinkmeaner Tom Did he actually say that? Lol
It's Lorenzo Well Midorima I don't think it's exact words but it was something like that.
lol he was so over when he was a heel.Because if his gimmick the doctor of thuganomics
Imagine this:
Cena beats Styles for the Championship and equals Ric Flair's record of being a 16 time Champion.
He loses the belt in the next match non-cleanly
Cena then finally gets his title match against the Champ at next year's WrestleMania (Coz the Rumble Winner opts for the Universal Belt)
Cena cuts a promo about beating Flair's record and becoming a 17 time champion.
He's hit a 3rd AA and 1.....2.....oh oh.
In comes Flair, interrupts the Ref and this distraction causes Cena to lose.
Then, On Raw, he questions Flair about his actions and he simply replies that he wanted to protect his legacy.
".....Behold The Game"...In Comes Triple H.
He announces that the new General Manager for SmackDown is Ric Flair.
And thus starts a feud of GM malpractices against a babyface (for reference, remember CM Punk and John Laurinitus in late 2011 till late 2012).
But, eventually, out of frustration, he beats Flair till the point he is bleeding. He continues beyond that.
In comes her daughter, begging for mercy.
He is furious, but remembers his idealistic crap of Hustle, Loyalty and Respect.
BUT BUT BUT... TA DAA
Heel Turn!
Cena picks her up and AAs her through the damn announce table and ends the segment showing both of them a middle finger.
He has all the possible Heel Hatred he could have.
Now, he eventually catches him in a figire four leglock and in ultimate humiliation, gets him to give him a title shot.
Cena wins, becomes a 17 time champion.
"I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD...." In comes Orton with the MITB (which he won), cashes in, RKO, Pin, Win.
He leaves the belt with Ric Flair and tells him he can give it to himself. Flair has the option to dave his legacy. But he, gives it back to Orton.
Heel: Cena
Face: Orton
WWE book this man 🙏🏼
damn what an idea
Devesh Kapoor first.kinda good ides dudnt read all cuz im writing this.do you think,that triple H can name the gm of sd live?triple H its the husband of stephanie mcmahon,wich is on raw.
that would've been great, but of course, WWE will never turn Cena heel. The kids love him and buy his merch. Which is funny because kids also loved Hogan back in the day and he went heel and fans loved his heel turn. Shame WWE can't do something similar.
Great mind senpai.
The WWE might need to hire this guy as a writer..but Cena doesn't need a heel turn.
He does
He doesn't anymore, but he did way back when
No not anymore
SnipingIsFun I've always liked him because I felt that he was someone I could count on someone who would never let me down. Someone who fought for me and would never give up. Just sayin.
+SnipingIsFun tell us why he needs it its not gonna change nothing except for the ratings
Not seen the video yet, but I expect ONS 2006 to be there.
NIce
Indeed.
Correct
josema26795
Agreed.
Wrestlemania 29 was the worst. So predictable. You knew Cena would win. I didn't even care about the Cena-Rock rivalry. It felt so forced.
I don't like Punk,but you cannot deny the fact that he got screwed from the WrestleMania main event,at lease he got a high profile match with a legend like Taker.But he lost a lot of momentum and credibility after losing to 3 part timers in a high profile match
Cena's early career on tv was a villain. He kept getting more and more aggressive and eventually he was ordered to be more calm and that's when Cena became what we know. It was after the end of ECW.
John Cena will *NEVER* go heel. *EVER*! Even if there was a *FIRE*!
Cena: OMG! The ring is on fire! Better turn heel
+Cala Bama he doesnt need to anymore he's been replaced already
step brothers
I'm watching stepbrothers right now
U
Rebook Zack Ryders United States Championship run.
+Celery man And give him a few more months with the belt.
If you're not going to ask for Embrace The Hate(which again, is the same thing) allow me to & please stop. It's not because it's annoying(it's somewhat understandable) but it's the difference between, being able to watch the video & having to buy Issue 3 of Wrestling. Unless my telling you this just fucked us all.
+Celery man DELETE!
Ryder is on SmackDown
No he's boring as fuck
Summerslam 2013? Instead of Triple H hitting the pedigree, Cena hits an AA, then Orton cashes in?? Triple H is forced to count the 3, then Triple H swerves at NoC. Triple H leading the Authority with both world champions, Cena (beat del Rio at HIAC) and Orton.
Cena needs only one major heel turn like hogan's
I'll drop a pipe bomb:
CruiserWeight Championship, it's gonna be alike the Woman's Championship, they will only change red with purple.
You're probably right since since you know it's the tournament's colours
but... wait... goddammit you're right. * * drinks away the pain * *
+ItsDaDannyBoy but it has a double.. u
ItsDaDannyBoy you do realize that this W is called a double u
ItsDaDannyBoy the more you know
The reason he won't go heel is because most kids love john cena and look up to him and cena has positive messages to kids
That is a stupid reason regardless.
Its not stupid if you look at the profit side of the thing
+U_Aint_Got_The_Answers Yeezus So damn true
unless he went to TNA and create another new World order.
+SnipingIsFun kids are the audience hint hint ratings and money thats why john cena is the face that runs place duhhh
The thing about turning heel on Reigns, would've been perfect.
The authority angle was also good.
The Wyatt Family angle would have been weird but not arguable
The streak would have been unforgiving, but would have made sense considering it's the only thing as impossible as Cena.
Cena is a heel...
he's posing as an annoying Babyface
Aakash Jaitly I think that's Reigns. He seems to intentionally piss fans off at times
Reigns is atleast going towards a heel turn.... Not Cena
Aakash Jaitly Babyfaces are terrible!
I would've hated the fuck out of cena if he beat the streak even worse of he cheated to do it
I think that was his point.
+Art Vanderlay I know. George. I was just saying that it was a good idea.
That's the point heel heat duh
+Jay Williams He knows.
+Blah rjei thanks I was concerned he didn't get it
Dont care about cena turning heel anymore. I want Roman Reigns heel.
same
much like with cena. they probably wont do that
even thou it would be the best thing to do
Antony Gregory yeah. Hopefully the mauling he gave rusev at ss was the beginning of something wonderful.
Apparently reigns is set to do a double turn with Seth Rollins
FIFADEVILS oooh. Hope it's true, face seth and heel roman would be amazing.
Cena did wrestle super heelish against AJ. I remember a sucker punch, a headlock and a headbutt early on to name a few moments. Must be teasing it
Headlocks and headbutts aren't heelish. The "sucker punch" was deserved as AJ acted like an arrogant jerk by turning his back and playing to the crowd when he had Cena down and John simply wasn't having any of it.
Marcus Stewart
I can agree with some of the logic behind your statement. But imagine a "real" fight where your opponent hit you when you weren't looking or used a cheap tactic like a headbutt. Would be kinda a dick/ dirty fighter correct? Faces acting like heels and heels acting like faces is a pet peeve of mine
There are no rules in a straight up fight.
Yeah right the teasing continues lol
if you were in a fight, a headbutt and a sucker punch would be useful as it would daze your opponent
The problem with Cena is all on WWE...apparently he has wanted to turn heel a couple of times...and Vince said no...he can only see Cena as a face.
Cena vs Edge unforgiven 2006 was a great example
Because Cena had made more money to WWE than anyone ever did. His merch sales are like insane
@@Seolous no
@@CarbonGod666 Facts doesn't care about your feelings bro
If he HAD beaten the Streak, clean OR cheating, there would have been blood in the streets.
hahaha
dude likes wrestling
Well, maybe not THAT bad, but still, one can only imagine the feedback that would have gotten.
I feel WWE's stock would have PLUMMETED.
oh, he would easily be murdered by a horde of crazy fans bum-rushing the ring hahaha
Spoilers Undertaker vs Cena this year at Mania 33 well we all know that bt here is the interesting part it could still happen what if Cena beat Undertaker clean or cheats than he been acting like Bo Dallas 2.0 a lil bit with his asshole corny jokes smart remarks towards the fans and Takers claim how so say he retired the deadman heel heat
ilikethecokev2 "if cena wins we riot"
100% sure if Cena turned on Roman he'd be cheered lol just because it's Roman.
now do a "10 biggest WWE missed opportunities to make Bray Wyatt the new "Undertaker""
I feel the best opportunities on this list was the "Embrace The Hate" storyline, and against The Rock at WM 29. The Nexus and the Wyatts needed to beat John and move on with their runs, the ECW crowd would've killed John (which despite my disliking for him, I do NOT want to see that), and lastly, I will forever stress how The Undertaker's streak should've been broken by a respected and honorable superstar (*cough* *cough* Shawn Michaels). Just my opinion.
no it should have been broken by a rising up and coming superstar to help solidify them as a new main eventer
Blasta 231 yes exactly
GDW 311 Im with you, Cena should have been that guy. Greatest heel turn in wrestling history.
Or Triple H the second time around "End of an Era". The end of Takers wrestlemania era
Killed? You really think those weak pathetic smarks could've done anything 😂
the Cena heel turn will never happen as long as Make A Wish is a WWE partner
Fuck the "Hustle,Loyalty&Respect" crap and give us some attitude!
Fake channel
+Il Sommo Lmao true
+Universal Bolt I thought it was legit, 2 subs...
I DON'T WATCH U GREAT 1
nope it doesnt work like that
What does heel mean? Please dont destroy me
Let him act as a bad guy, while "faces" are fan-favourites.
I wouldn't say fan-favorites for face. Just: Face = Good guy, heel = bad guy
Thanks guys I've been wondering for a while
Easier
Heel - Bad Guy
Face - Good Guy
Roman Reigns - The Guy
Heel: The back part of the foot below the ankle
He'll have one mini heel run on the eve of his retirement. People like to talk about the money he reeks in as a face (which is true) without realizing just how much attention he'll draw to the product as a heel. Merchandise sales will go down, but for a short period of time ratings will go through the roof. All the former WWE turned UFC fans will tune into Raw out of nothing more than curiosity of seeing a heel John Cena.
NOTHING in WWE falls under the definition of "won't ever happen" no matter how sacred. Look at the Undertaker's streak ending as evidence of that fact. If a situation arises where they see turning Cena heel is beneficial to them they'll do it in a heartbeat. And that would be just before his retirement, with the merch revenue no longer a long term factor and the ratings spike being a short term masterstroke.
I'm still waiting for this heel run you said would happen
Last time i was this early John Cena was heel
youtube wasn't even made the last time John was heel
roman reigns fan spotted
Miley Sky Ik
+Miley Sky cause he never was
+Zach Austin yes he was back in 2003
He can't turn heel. He is The "Face" That Runs The Place!!
no that's aj styles
+Adam Speers how could it be aj styles? he barely came this year John Cena has been there for nearly a decade and he's a 15 time world champion for a reason so Cena runs the place .
nope syles is the heel that runs the place
the current gimmick
+Adam Speers aj styles never gives up either just read HIS headband
As an Undertaker guy for the last 20+ years, i always thought it should be Cena that took down the streak. And turning him heel to do it would've set up an epic rematch at the next Wrestlemania. Think of the spots a pissed off Undertaker could pull on a heel Cena, beating him to a pulp and riding off into the sunset.
what if... When Undertaker was on his undefeated Wrestle Mania streak and Cena was set to meet Taker at Wrestle Mania... It's a great fight but eventually after not being able to beat the dead man, he exits the ring, grabs a chair, then hits Undertaker in the head with it, thus being disqualified and as the crowd and WWE universe watches in disbelief Cena shrugs his shoulders putting hands us with a half smile
the best heel turn was Sid Vicious' one
yeah his heel definitely turned.
Savage..
So many people won't get this but i think you're a genius lol
Coyote Bongwater yeah feels awesome to be one of the few. Don't it?
dude likes wrestling Deserves top comment bro.
The same way Sabu deserves to be a millionaire with all the shit he innovated.
Ain't life a bitch
I still remember that One Night Stand PPV. I was with my cousin and we ordered the PPV and had pizza. That would've been an amazing way to turn Cena heel, or him beating the streak. Man I really wanted to see a heel Cena.
RAW AUGUST 29, WHAT JUST HAPPENED
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE
+Sam Woodley what happened
+wyomakid7 triple h pedigreed Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens won the universal title
I did not see that coming. I literally thought Triple H was gonna help Rollins win. lol
IKR I made a joke and said "now he's gonna pedigree Seth Rollins lol" AND IT ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPRNED
FYI The "How WWE Should Have Booked: Ending The Streak" Video isn't in the "How WWE Should Book" Playlist. Love your stuff!
Imagine how many more world titles he would have won
The description made me laugh...
Funfact:-
Here's Vince and Cena conversation (told by Cena) about the heel turn which was supposed to have this theme only
Vince: Let's do a heel turn
Cena:Yeah,I am ok with it let's do this
But listen
We can't come back later even if it doesn't work
If we do this
If we turns this character heel then the character should stay heel for next 10 years
Vince: Listen I don't think we are ever going to do this
Plan scrapped😖
The clip of Lisa going "Eh," had me cracking up. xD
honestly the fact that Cena has never gone heel is the main reason he's one of my favorite wrestler's, im sick of the constant changing it's nice having some solidarity in wrestlers sometimes
No
He was a heel early lol
After hell in a cell 2019 I never thought I will mess John cena
That double turn idea with Orton just sounds... So great...
I have 2006 ECW One night stand on DVD.... One of the best PPV's ever hands down crazzzyyy plus the crowd was going nuts..... nice small-medium sized venue shit was dope
WWE will never turn john cena heel because he creates a lot of revenue for them. Based on that fact why turn him hee?l
To change his character that has been the same damn thing for like 10 or so years?
Is he bland? Yeah, however he brings in a lot of money for WWE. Fans will think turning him heel is better because more fans will care. However they will lose a lot of younger fans that love Cena and will lose a lot of money.
ok WWE has made $ 600 000 000 revenue and $ 24 000 000 profit and according to the 411 wwe had its biggest 1 st quarter ever and the wwe network is turning a Profit according to forbes. Wwe did say that less people where watching tv and with the network wwe has proven that. so tell me why would Vince change any of the story lines?
+andyman hyman Cena is not the only guy young fans like though
SnipingIsFun Never said he was. However he's most certainly the most popular.
I'm early.
Aj "THE GAY COMMUNITY" Styles
Aj why you wear Blue on Raw and then Red of Smackdown?
Is cause you are a sick guy?
+Boop Zoop u saying that because aj is face in cena heel
It's the master of titantrons!
Im late
As a Cena worshipping kid back in 2010, of Cena turned heel I'd legitimately lose my shit!
what do you use to edit your videos??? I sub
Judging by the comment section WhatCulture has a lot more indian fans then I thought possible
Y is that an issue
+Il Sommo maybe you need to work in a call centre too
Pakistani also
+Lucario Shetty God hahahaha
+Lucario Shetty God what???? he speaks perfectly good English, he is the best, we should all learn how to speak English from him (being sarcastic duh)
To be honest I think the best times to turn Cena heel would have either been the Embrace the Hate storyline with Kane corrupting Cena or after he lost to Rock at WM 28 and have him cut a promo where he's being a sore loser and complaining about how he lost to Rock then saying something like "I did everything for all of you and you booed me for it. Well I'm sick of it" or something like that and have him admit that he doesn't really mean it when he says never give up and hustle, loyalty and respect because let's face it he doesn't. They're just catchphrases and IMO Cena's character has always been a heel masquerading as a face anyway based on things he's said and done in certain storylines so it's less about turning him heel and more about getting WWE to admit he already is one.
John Cena beating the streak would've have been the absolute best heel turn but yeah the man who has literally fulfilled the most wishes for Make a Wish Foundation isn't going to become a heel, which might've made him feel stale to us he did so much for those kids that I have to respect the choice to keep him face.
Last time I watched a video on this channel, it had 60k. Good Job dude..
Hope after he’s done doing movies he comes back and turns heel
Would've been nice
"you standing in the ring with John Cena about to turn heel"-john Cena at mania 35. If you only knew John...
Cena now enjoyed the Heel character as Peacemaker.
“Look, your job as a superstar is to manipulate the audience and try to tell your story. I like the dynamic of the audience. Every single night it’s different. But what’s weird is that I’m a good guy because of all the kids and parents who like me, and a bad guy because I won’t turn heel, which actually makes me both good guy and bad guy in one person.” - John Cena
The biggest missed opportunity to turn John Cena heel happened before his career even started with the Stone Cold heel turn. That turn being so aweful is why WWE never risked having their cash cow go heel.
Wasnt Cena a heel against Bryan because he seemed more arrogant and aggressive
10 mini how wwe should have booked's. Awesome video.
Cena vs Orton was THE rivalry, no two men (Michaels vs Undertaker is an exception), that had more chemistry and storytelling than them at the time
He make too much money in merchandise. For that reason he will never go heel. It's that simply money is the reason
do you know how much WCW made in NWO shirts alone
cens vs orton at the rumble '14 was really good
but tired to a degree
+Adam Phillip Yes.
Creative writing: such a wonderful way to brighten my day. If wrestling really stimulates your imagination this way, and this well, then that's all you need to justify your hobby.
I Remember when Brock Lesnar Broke the streak (I was watching it live) 2 minutes later after Brock left the stage someone said out loud "You suck" to the UnderTaker, I was dead laughing
Wait. Cena hasn't been a heel this entire time? You almost got me, Adam. Next thing you're going try is that Roman Reigns hasn't been a heel this entire time either. Got to get up pretty early to fool this guy.
Cena and Reigns aren't heel
+Panthersfan711 didn't look up as that joke went right over you I guess
@panthersfan711 First off I was joking. Second are you 100% sure about your statement? Reigns just got finished with a program with Rusev. If you'll recall, Rusev and Lana were having a celebration ceremony of their wedding. Roman Reigns came out unprovoked and ruined that celebration. He even caused Lana to face dive her own cake. This led to Rusev wanting to defend his wife's honor. Reigns beat Rusev on the Raw before Summerslam. Then at Summerslam came out (again unprovoked) and beat Rusev so bad before their match started that they had to cancel the match. How is that not a heel?
Erik, you get it, Reigns is so Heel people don't even know it. Just because one doesn't quote on quote cheat during a match means they're a Face. I look at so many other aspects, also, WWE needs to give Bray a freaking Title already...
Nell, exactly. Eddie Guerrero cheated all the time and he was a face. Remember when Roman beat up Vince? He Superman punched a 70 year old man IN THE FACE! How is that a good guy? Yeah, yeah Vince is evil. But just because you beat up the evil person, that doesn't automatically make you the hero.
As for Bray, I don't feel he's used properly at all. He talks like nobody can stop him but yet I don't think he's won a feud. Not very many if he has. He needs to start winning feuds and then he'll be a real threat for the title.
Why turn Cena heel when he's perfect as a face? So what if smarks don't like him?
Perfect as a face? More like bland, boring, and generic.
+SnipingIsFun all in the matter of opinion.
Bayley is a perfect face, Sami Zayn is a perfect face. John acts too heelish to be perfect
+SnipingIsFun so true I'll probably like him if he turned heel a couple of times
+SnipingIsFun He sells so much merch, is the perfect ambassador for the company, he's a great guy in real life and his never give up slogan is a perfect face slogan. Not only that, you're telling me that his open challenges were bland and boring? His feud with Styles, bland and boring? His wrestlemania appearance, bland and boring? Point irrelevant
"We hate you Mr. Cena they said with a beautiful collection of four letter words"
Damn xD
At one time, I felt they should've went with him being the force behind The Shield after his loss to The Rock. They could've said he came up with the idea of "The Sheild" with a tone similar to the Lex Luger vs. Sting angle in '91-92.
Now we know 10 wouldn’t work
Adam actually should work for WWE creative team, not WhatCulture Wrestling. But then WhatCulture Wrestling would have died, but WWE IS dead
After seeing how many Make A Wish Cena’s granted (and to those not in the know, kids get to Make A Wish if their odds of survival are NOT favorable) I’m actually glad Cena didn’t turn heel. Kids needed their wrestling hero. The only reason Hogan’s worker is because it never happened before, and most even kids were sick of Hogan.
Wrestlemania 28 was the biggest opportunity. In fact, I do remember reading online that a John Cena heel turn was at least in motion and WWE had gone as far as getting some new gear ready for Cena, but obviously backed out the last minuet. Cena was getting boo'd like he was the bad guy and they had a perfect angle to run with it if they actually would've turned him. John Cena busts his ass for the crowd and yet you boo him --- Rocky comes back, you know win or lose he's going away again, and you cheer him? Never say never in wrestling. Cena still has some years left and we actually saw Sting wrestle in WWE so IT COULD still happen one day, lol.
It should've been against Bryan
this are just wet dreams
he's never gonna turn heel
no 6: his first title reign, is probably my favourite and one of the most interesting especially using the rock as an example
When it comes to Nexus,Cena could've turned heel while being part of it at Survivor Series.He could've accepted being part of Nexus and helped Barrett beat Orton for the title since he was the special guest referee
All these ideas are great. I especially liked the double turn against Randy Orton idea, that would have been reminiscent of Stone Cold's heel turn against The Rock. Though the top 2 entries would probably have gotten Cena killed if they'd tried them. But no, the WWE thinks we need Cena to basically be Captain America fused with Superman. It's like they learned nothing from Hogan's heel turn and the huge popularity boost the NWO and WCW got as a result. And you're right about Roman Reigns as well. The forced push wouldn't have felt anywhere near as obnoxious if we were all distracted by Cena turning heel.
Personally at this point I think Roman's best chance for acceptance might be to go off-script and force a heel turn himself. Cause the WWE sure as hell aren't going to do it for him.
He didn't win the rumble in 2012......
G-Mac yea sheamus did
Makes me wish Cena should've joined Los Ingobernables and represent the stable for WWE. It worked for Naito and he's basically one of the best heels in NJPW right now, topped only by Bullet Club's Kenny Omega.
The WWE will never turn Cena face because he makes them too munch money, same reason why Hogan never turned heel when the crowed started to boo him at the 92 Rumble.
john cena said he will never turn heel and will never retire because he does it for the kids not the adults aka the adults hate him the kids love him and this is why he will never turn heel NEVER he will have to lose sales aka YOU WILL HAVE TO STOP BUYING YOUR CHILDREN HIS STUFF MAKE THEM LIKE SOMEONE ELSE OR WE WILL BE STUCK WITH HIM FOREVER!! YOUR KIDS LOOK UP TO YOU MORE THAN THEY DO A WRESLTER SO YOU CAN MAKE THEM LIKE WHO YOU LIKE AKA NOT JOHN CENA
10 missed opportunities to turn Roman reigns heel
when he had the beard coming from suspension. plus first half of his career he was heel with the sheild
Reigns is already Heel...think about it...
+Julius Hare even his rivalry with rusev or his match with Finn balor
Seth Rollins coming back if he would've stayed Face instead of going heel next night of Raw
+Jordan Davis Roman even looks like a heel
Would be nice to see Cena, and Ziggler join together, and form a heel faction along with the return of Batista and Kurt Angle. They could have Kurt talking to both Cena and Ziggler about being under appreciated before he shows up. And Batista could come back to help enforce, for revenge, just because of how things were when he left.
The first bit he said up until 0:20 was exactly what he said in the how WWE should have booked ending the streak video
It's exactly the same thing as Hogan in the mid 90's, people were tired of his vitamins and prayers crap, he turned heel and became a god. People are tired of the never give up and bright colors, turn him bad as fuck, and wrestling will have another boom.
