I thought they were talking about when he started wrestling, period. It was 14, maybe even younger.

It was 14.

I hate too say it, but you're probably right.

Cena really doesn't have too change a thing, they're trying to make him a "attitude" type character. Thats why he's a real babyface, and not a anti-Hero like Austin. They're trying to move away from that era, if you look at the faces in WWE they're all like Cena, except for DX/Taker (guys who wee succesful in the attitude era). None of the faces are edgy, they're all basically choir boys, this is basically a new era in WWE. The guys with all the attitude are basically heels, the faces are all good guys fighting for what is right. Opposed to Austin, who was a dick that was going against a bigger dick in Mcmahon. You're not getting it. OBviously it's a different era, but when your top face is getting booed out of the building every time he shows up, and every time he has an advantage in a match, or every single time he opens his mouth then there's a problem. Yes, they do very good business with him on top, but that doesn't mean yo just keep letting your top guy get shit on every time as you sit there with a smile. That WILL wear off and people will get turned away. EVen if they don't turn him heel, then at least give the guy some edginess or attitude. Cena made it to the top because of his attitude, edginess, and character. His popularity skyrocketed because of the character he WAS, not the character he IS now. It will not turn people away, Cena has a big audience in kids and women. WWE is basically marketing to kids and trying to create a new 18-34 demographic, they're not focusing on the older audience who boo Cena, but too appease them they have guys like Hunter, HBK, and Taker, guys who have a edge and attitude, but none of the 3 are going to be the face of the company. They are used to cater to the older crowd, but WWE primary target is kids, which is where Cena comes in, you can also even say this is why Hornswogggle has been a success. They're trying to train a new fanbase, they want the faces to be a real good guy, and they want the heels to have all the edge, which is how it should be. It seems to be working out find with them, because they're having more success now then they have had in 4 years, Cena has been on top most of that time, and business has been very good. There is no reason to fuck with it. -

Most of their ventures outside of wrestling also involved Cena. you missed my point completely And if they used Rock and Stone Cold the same way they would'vd made more.. We all know wrestling isnt as popular as it was back then, so naturally there has to be an explanation as to why it's so profitable now Both of Cena's DVD's sold plenty, I think its pretty obvious he had a lot to do with WWE's success all around the board. Austin and The Rock are bigger draws, and probably will always be bigger draws if you compare what they did in the late 90's-early 2000's years to Cena's era. The thing is there was 2 big company most of those years, Cena didn't have the luxury of WCW like Austin/The Rock did. He is the face of the company at a time when it is the only wrestling company that is relevant. Being able to bring in those numbers while Cena's on top is impressive and there is really no denying that, he had a large hand in the success WWE had last year, that isn't hard too see. -

Yes Tyson was known more than Mayweather, but I'm pretty sure Mayweather is still known more than everybody in the WWE. Anyway you look at this its a good thing. -

They booed Floyd, mostly because he was in Oscar's territory and has made fun of hispanics most of 2007. The guy is the biggest ppv draw in the world, they knew him, they just don't like him. -

They don't need any of this, they're having their most succesful run since 2001, what they're doing is working fine. Then why are a lot of your posts complaints about Cena? Because a lot of my post are NOT complaints about Cena. -

Turn Cena heel and you lose just about all of your women fans and the majority of your children fans. They've built Cena up as a hero for little kids to look up to, it wouldn't be wise to turn him. There was a guy named Hulk Hogan that was a hero for little kids too.......How did that heel turn work out? While we're at it why don't they give Jeff Hardy a trench coat and a bat, and have him sit silently in the rafters for over year? That might work......but only if HBK comes out from the crowd every week giving heels Diamond cutters Since they made 500 Million last year with Cena on top, I doubt they have to do any of the 3. -

In which he wasn't booed out of buildings during those years, so yeah. Yeah eventhough he was the heel, the faces looked like dorks and they eventually got booed against him. -
