Y2J The King Of The World

OK, so Cena's babyface demographic has narrowed to females age 14 and younger. It's long overdue to turn him heel - but how should WWE do it? Here's my take...

Given his new "intense face" he showed on Raw, he should come out next week and explain that his rage isn't just from a lack of respect from Bischoff, Angle, Daivari, or Chris Masters - it's from a lack of respect from the crowds that boo him. He can heel on the crowd for a bit, preferably in some kind of rap (stick with what brought you to the dance - a lost concept on him lately), and then cap it off by saying he's not just John Cena - he's the Prototype (his old indy gimmick).

Basically, his Prototype gimmick won't be the goofy-ass half-human half-cyborg of his Indy days, but rather an intense, heel rapper gimmick where he's more badass acting (a la his breakthrough promos on Brock Lesnar). That gimmick got over. Happy-ass, you-can't-see-me, dance-bad-wrestle-worse John Cena isn't over. Plus "The Prototype" John Cena is more marketable than just "John Cena."

Thoughts? Other ideas?

Want the 14 year old girls to stop cheering. Very simple:

Turn him gay

Mr. Kennedy

Reps to you Y2J. That sounds like a good idea to me, sorta like how they turned Rock heel the first time with him being upset at the lack of respect he was getting from the fans. Bringing back the Prototype name is something that I hadn't thought about before, but I think it could work.

But its not just his gimmick the guy cant wrestle to save his life....Yeah his baby-face thing is getting old, but its only 50% of his problem the other 50% comes from his work inside the ring. I say drop the title to Masters or Kurt and send him to OVW for the rest of the year. Then have him come with your idea Y2J.

I agree with the character change, but I'm not too sure about the name change. The negative crowd response towards him has put WWE in aposition where they need to adapt his character to either a face with an edge or a flat out heel.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

EASY!! Have another Kurt & Cena match and have Davari screw Kurt out of the match. Kurt becomes the natural american hero again, Cena becomes heel again and heels on crowds for booing him. It attains the two turns that are obviously waiting to happen.

I had a sig, once.

I absolutely hate Angle in a face role....really detest it, even more so than that thing Chewy tries to get me to do when I have to bend over and bite into a pillow to muffle my screams.

hahaha, I thought he already was gay, what w/ the raps about making Angle and other guys suck his, well, you know. I've heard it.
In the mean time, what do you mean turn him heel, I already hate him as it is and wish he'd be getting head from Ashley while driving and they could accidentally run into a train or have a plane crash land on them. Anything that takes out a lot of people. Man I'm mean.
Maybe he should paint his face read and wear giant clocs ala the flavoflav and then smash them on his head while drooling out nursery rhymes... Nah, that's just stupid. A character like that could never work.

I don't think the 'gradual' heel turn would be the best course of action for Cena. I often think the surprise heel turns are the most effective - look at HHH when he pedigreed HBK a few years ago, or HBK's superkick to Hogan. Those spots are always awesome, make a crowd REALLY hot, and provide a genuine 'swerve'.

In this god-awful Cena vs Angle feud (Angle has been made to look a bitch if he can't win the title with all this conspiracy against Cena), Shane O'Mac as new GM could give Kurt an ultimatum - Kurt and a partner of his choice must beat Cena and a partner of Cena's choice in a tag match tonight, or he gets no more WWE title shots for 6 months. Angle could choose Masters, and Cena would be shown backstage entering a locker-room - the camera follows him in, and he asks HBK to be his partner tonight against Angle and Masters. Cena can of course point out how HBK can put one over his long time nemesis tonight if he costs him title shots for 6 months. HBK could reply with the line "Count me in, but once Angle is out of your hair, you might have to put up that title in a match with the Show-stoppaaa..." Cena plays it cool..

So, Cena and HBK win, after Angle slides in a chair to Masters, but he can't reach it before HBK superkicks him. HBK and Cena celebrate, but as they do, Cena could lowblow HBK, and FU him onto the chair lying on the mat.. fans go crazy, HBK laid out, Cena a new heel.

Cena could explain his actions as protecting his title against his new contender, HBK. Plus, he coud be defending his stock - HBK got the win, and not Cena - Cena might have wanted to prove he wasn't playing 2nd fiddle to HBK in that match. Bust out the old freestyle rap gimmick again, let him swear a bit, and BAM, Cena = great heel again. In the space of one Raw, and the opening promo on the next show. So simple.

I think I would rather hm just get more and more brutal in matches. Then have him take on a babyface like Shelton Benjamin. Have Benjamin blow the roof off of the building with numerous high spots. The Crowd is loving it. Cena grows more and more frustrated. Benjamin is giving a bit of attitude but not enough to turn the fans, Finaly after Benjamin kicks out of an FU Cena looses it goes out to ringside, gets a chair and destroys Benjamin. I mean just repeatedly wils on the man's head and legs while sayin shit like try and climb up there now. Does the old leg in a chair jump off the turnbuckle mocking his high spots while climbing up. Take him to ringside, put him into the steps, remove the padding, Fu him onto it, to the point where numerous officials and trainers are dragging him off. And the show goes off the air with Cena yellin shit about noone taking his title.
