No insult taken but you don't know it all. They generally pop for the faces as there aren't usually the same amount of smarks in the audience over here. We're not cattle, we are capable of thought. These events in europe are generally attended to by families, providing a healthy smattering of kids who like Cena, there's your pop. We're not starved for live action. We get a tour every 6 months but the cities are changed sometimes. Cardiff didn't get the survivor series tour last year but gets the wrestlemania and survivor series this year. How many times a year does the E visit Seattle? Bet it's not a lot more. As for Michaels heeling it, he's not doing it to the best of his ability is he? Damn go back to the Hogan stuff, that was all true but the fans shit all over him for it, the promo in Canada where he pretended that Hogan and Bret were coming out. Michaels is one of the best heels in the business. Trouble is his beliefs now make that more difficult for him to do. If he came back as dancing,cocky, look at me I'm sexy, do what I say say not as I do HBK then Cena would have super face pops against him. What do you know about European fans?

A bit like me here, truth be told. I do like to read the princess view, she paint a good verbal picture. No comment on mrobert21. So you still read it but don’t comment.

Even those fans are booing Cena out of the building now so he needs to go heel before they just stop reacting totally. Nothing else is going to get him over again as a face later on (I am not advocating a life long Cena heel turn, just a year or so). Michaels is the guy the WWF has been heeling just for the sake of heeling him and to try to keep Cena face and fans are not buying it 1 bit.

That is why I referenced him at first:) I remember watching a match with him and Rick Rude going back and forth with punches and all of a sudden Sting starts no selling-letting Rude punch him a couple of times... And then Sting screams(eyes bugging out) while pointing to his own jaw, "C'mon hit me again" starting his superman comeback... Its all different depending on the individual from Lawler to Hogan to Sting... And fans seem to still pop when HBK lets the Power of Christ compel HIM~! ... And as far as Cena turning heel goes it just seems so contrived and forced at this point to go that route... For months now he's been a nice guy and doesn't let the negative crowd reaction get him down and now this week on RAW he's EVIL~!... Bleh I think after the nWo angle people are sick of heel turns for the sake of heel turns... I think WWE are better off thinking of better ways to get him more face heat than cheap heel heat.

Cena works a Sting style and he always has, so he has not had and does not need a Superman comeback. The only 2 things Cena does not need to work on in the ring are his short term selling and his comeback timing / ferocity (fans no longer buy Hogan and Warrior type comebacks). Cena’s fan base is disappearing rapidly and he needs to heel now before they all go away.

Cena needs to develope a superman comeback like Hogan, Warrior, and Sting before him... He doesn't have the Rock's mouthpiece, Bret's psychology and its a different era now so making him a rebel baddass like Austin wouldn't work either... If you heel him yeah you might get an entertaining heel, but you would also alienate his fanbase that he actually does have.

X – Pac heat is the definition of go away, we do not want to see you heat that draws no cash. Hollywood Blondes heat is the polar opposite as people paid to see them get their asses kicked because they were so good at pretending to be jerks. JBL was some place in the middle as he started with X – Pac heat, but eventually won fans over to become a serviceable main event wrestler. Hogan no sold Vader, so it has happened. Sting only no sold during the standard face comeback, which has been around for decades. Cena sells at an acceptable level; he certainly should not no sell more because no selling has never been a part of his gimmick like a Hogan or Undertaker. Every big name in wrestling has sold for Michaels over the past 20 years (even Hogan sold as much as his washed up ass could), so Cena should sell everything Michaels does.

Botchtista used to study every match, but he stopped doing that to nail her backstage during shows (not that I fault him in the least for doing that). Like Christy (servicing Hunter / Botchtista) and Barbara Bush (servicing Holly), Rebecca was just servicing Botchtista as numerous women are, so there was no solid relationship that was going to save her job (though even a marriage could not save the Kat back in the day). Botchtista servicing a Diva is bad publicity if it broke wide as news for many reasons. First of all, Rebecca is younger than his daughters (by the way his daughters are hot). Mainly, Botchtista dumped his wife because she had cancer to bang young babes. Not exactly going to win him any humanitarian awards, which is really bad since they want him to be a face. I agree pretty much on Orton. I still think firing is not out of the question though. If Orton goes to TNA he will quit after a few months because he has no dedication to wrestling. We will all know more tomorrow. Here is 1 of the news links I was going off of in my opinion on the firing of Rebecca.
