BUT, when he does it, there's a question of what to do with his character. Obviously part of the problem is that the current thing is stale, but you can't just change everything and say "now he's like THIS!" And expect people to forget the last decade. So a white hi hop influenced guy who everyone hates, that acts like a douchey fratboy: think LMFAO, think James Franco in Spring Breakers, think that Macklemore dweeb. Basically Cena needs to be a "swag bro". Acting arrogant and pervy while still doing all the goofy poop joke stuff everyone hates, and wearing ridiculous looking neon stuff and excessive cheapo bling. Turn Ryder heel and have him be his douchebag buddy like in Entourage. Have Skrillex or Borgore do a dubstep remix of his theme song. You still basically get the essence of Cena but in an unrespectable package.Ryan Murphyhttp://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Murphy/100001900984832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-64949760888007476522013-03-28T17:21:53.046-06:002013-03-28T17:21:53.046-06:00Lil Wayne and Fred Durst?

Making people like him doesn't come to Punk naturally, i'd bet; most people who like him are the ones who like him on merit and not due to him pushing for it. And being a face involves making people like you. As for him taking time off, you may be right, and it'd probably be better for him in the long run, but Raw without Punk is a dire proposition. Unless that meant more time for Dean Ambrose to establish himself as a top heel.... now I don't know what I want.Ryan Murphyhttp://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Murphy/100001900984832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-60889244307419854232013-03-28T17:04:20.252-06:002013-03-28T17:04:20.252-06:00Actually...that might be bad for long-term career ...Actually...that might be bad for long-term career longevity.<br /><br /><br />I mean, just because you can come back from an injury in half the time doesn't mean you should come back from an injury in half the time.Phredericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-2512177602232603022013-03-28T17:03:32.493-06:002013-03-28T17:03:32.493-06:00They'll turn him eventually.

I want the return of Superman Cena -- basically, take advantage of everything smarks hate about him while also alienating the kids. No cowardly heel running away, no "you don't deserve an explanation." I want him tapping guys out clean to the STF for a year. I want him cutting pandering, obviously sarcastic promos. Amp up the cheese. Build him up as unbeatable for a year, and then do Taker-Cena. Now there's an intriguing matchup, to me.<br /><br /><br />Or keep Cena face and put him over everyone, I guess.Greg Phillipshttp://www.facebook.com/people/Greg-Phillips/45100401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-79169193549876783372013-03-28T15:20:50.279-06:002013-03-28T15:20:50.279-06:00Weezy = Lil WayneWeezy = Lil WayneWhite Thundernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-8964646556727602592013-03-28T15:01:12.960-06:002013-03-28T15:01:12.960-06:00It almost feels like Taker v Cena at WM30 has been...It almost feels like Taker v Cena at WM30 has been in the books for years now.

...Wait, you're hiring to do fantasy booking???<br /><br />OK, so as far as Punk being off TV for a bit after Mania, I think all the signs are just pointing to that as what's gonna happen. The dude is ridiculously injured right now, and has performed a non-stop schedule despite wanting time off since MITB '11. I think it's pretty clear he's getting his ass destroyed by Taker at Mania, like "Edge getting Last Rided through the ring into hell" type of deal, and going away for a bit. (Not saying I WANT to see him getting destroyed by Taker, but that's pretty much the point of this feud.)<br /><br />Plus, I do think booking-wise Punk could use some time off TV. I mean, after Mania he'll be coming off 3 straight high profile PPV losses to Rock and Taker, PLUS he lost the big one on Raw to Cena. And that's coming off a the last few months of a heel run in which he was booked as a pinball for Ryback. The character needs a little recharge before he can come back out with the "best in the world" schtick without it seeming foolish. I mean, do you think he loses to Taker, and just comes out the next night and starts his next feud? <br /><br />Lastly, my whole thing with turning Punk face is that he CAN be an awesome, kick-ass Stone Cold-esque face if WWE booked things that way. Sure it's fun to watch Punk heel it up, but to me it's ultimately unsatisfying when the most interesting person on the show constantly is booked to run away and get beat. WWE needs to figure out how to book a lead face who is as interesting as the heel characters, and I still think Punk is the guy who can pull that off. Again, if WWE got behind letting a face act like Stone Cold rather than a Cena-clone.Worst_in_the_Worldnoreply@blogger.com
