Not seen it yet, prob will tonight, but i heard it was good.
Also Cena turning heel wont happen before Mania given the company is hoping to have Rock come in heel working the crowd with the usual "i left wrestling cos you all suck, im the best wrestler ever but im too good for the industry" etc.
If Rock comes back, works heel and still gets face reactions maybe that will be the start of the turn and potentially Cena could face turn in the match at mania. But thats pure speculation. One thing to note is that Rock has said in interviews that Cena is substandard because he has only been the very best as a good guy, until you have been the very best as a bad guy your not even close to being the best in the industry.
Dunno if he would have felt the sting on reading that but it wouldnt surprise me at all for Cena to want to turn heel and also want to work more adventurous matches.
But yeah, back to the point, there is a very good chance he wont work as a heel unless the crowd totally turns on him. There are rumblings of crowd backlash but its still a minority and in PG WWE having a reliable good guy face to front the company is worth much more overall even if it means the actual matches you see suffer for it.
A good example of why this doesnt matter is Khali. He is shockingly bad in the ring, but the people WWE is currently marketing to dont know the difference between a good wrestler and a bad one.
The driving force of WWE right now knows nothing about wrestling, neither its history nor the finer points of the matches, hell i wouldnt be shocked if a fairly large percent of those at WM didnt know who Stone Cold was when he gave his farewell. This is why there is no real innovation in the company right now. The biggest idea they have had, according to them, is the guest host stuff on Raw. And some of that has been brutally bad with hosts not knowing anything about the industry and even Ventura after his hosting slot distanced and generally put down the industry.
