Is this a joke? Hogan actually meant something big for the business. Completely changed it. Hogan wrestled for countless years after. Cena is going to be gone in 9 months.
What was the point of Cena turning? Cena has the money, the movie career, the fame, the wrestling career, the title wins, and already had the Mania title match won without Rock's help. I guess Im in the vast minority but I have no clue why everyone loves the Cena heel turn. It's 8-10 years too late. The only way it makes sense is if he claims he was being forced to have a retirement tour and The Rock is going to let Cena end the tour and wrestle whenever he wants and for as many years as he wants. Otherwise, how does it make any sense?
People are comparing this to The Rock last year too. There is no comparison. Rock had been heel several times. They only changed course because of the fan reaction to The Rock. Babyface Rock would have been against Roman Reigns if everyone didn't push back. Final Boss never would have happened and Rock would be a face right now still.
Cena turning for no real reason would be the NBA equivalent of if during his last season Kobe Bryant said he hated the Lakers and all their fans and demanded to be traded to Boston. Got traded to Boston and won a title. Said he is a Celtic forever and screw LA and every other franchise and fan. You know something that makes no sense and would never happen.
Instead of having that lasting image of Kobe's final game you get the Boston Celtics Kobe. What's going to be the lasting image now of Cena winning 17? For years it was let's go Cena, Cena sucks. Now everyone is cheering Cena. You're going to change that for what? People don't want to boo him now. I'm someone that hated Cena for a long time. Grew to respect him over the years and thought he had a bunch of great matches later on. I was actually cheering for him now. Hogan turned for several reasons but one was all the boos. There have been no boos for Cena recently. 100% universal cheers and fan support. Makes no sense. What can Rock give Cena that Cena doesn't have or can't get on his own?
Punk or Drew doing this would have made perfect sense.
