now that they finally threw in the towel, can we admit that Vince was ALWAYS RIGHT in the fact that Cena should never turn heel in his life?

Ironically enough his promo where he buried theory by saying the fans didn’t believe him is exactly how I felt about his heel promos. Other than the pipebomb callbackerino they were all very forced and unnatural

Everyone fantasy booked some Hollywood Cena type of heel. I appreciate the idea of going meta heel as well as Cena turning in a big way so as to have a full career is neat. That said, it hasn't worked at all. In hindsight, best move would have been to keep him face and have him chase the 17 for the year.

Cena turned heel way too late, his heel "gimmick" could have worked anytime since he stopped wrestling full time in 2017, he has returned plenty of times, and he was jobbing to everyone, so the logical step was to use his "anger" to turn him heel. He still shows some fleeting momentary signs of brilliance from time to time, but his heel run is an objective flop.

lel, maaaaaaybe (and that's a gigantic maybe) you can argue that he didn't have the idea, but he's the idiot who has been keeping it afloat for the past 5 months. Why he made it worse every week?

They started way too hot and just expected Rock to not flake out due to Hollywood commitments. After they learned that, they just decided to do some weird meta story where Cena effectively stated that he wasn't going to change.

People compare Cena's turn way too much to Hogan's.
Hogan's turn happened in a different company and during a cultural shift in the 90s.

Put Russo and Cornette in cages 15 feet away from each other and in 20 minutes you'd have a kino Cena heel turn.

that's not a right call either. Why are you turning heel the guy that is gonna be your new face for a guy that is leaving in 4 months? Who else is left to be the babyface of the company? Punk? Are they gonna really give everything to him after Cena leaves?

Because HHH wanted Cody vs Cena at WM41 and people are fucking sick of Cody as babyface? It's impossible to turn Cena into a legit heel at the tail of his career.

If he HAD to turn heel this year then right after the Rumble after Jey eliminated him would have been the perfect opportunity to have done so

that's such a poor excuse. If you want face vs face you do it. There's no problem with that WM X-Seven. Rock vs Austin was face vs face entering the event. Michaels vs Cena at WM 23 was face vs face. Carder vs Michaels at WM 26 was face vs face. If Gaytch can't book that is because he's a retard

No, because the heel turn was absolute kino that could've been followed up excellently if Rock was actually going to be involved.

a heel turn would have worked if it happened during peak cena fatigue
when he started getting "welcome back" pops it was too late

Either Cena is doing a fake out or Cody is turning heel. They're not doing a face vs. face street fight. That doesn't make any sense.
