Do us all a favor and stop showing up close-ups of the crowd. Every time someone shows up on screen, they look bored and want to be somewhere… ANYWHERE… else. It’s really distracting and it takes away from a product that is incredibly diluted from Johnny Laryngitis’ monotone performances… let’s be honest; no matter how entertaining CM Punk’s promo work happens to be, it’ll always be cancelled out by Ace’s muted and dull personality. Perhaps I’m missing something here, but whatever.
So Kane wants John Cena to embrace hate… presumably planting seeds to a heel turn that is never going to happen. Really, I have absolutely no faith in WWE pulling off a Cena heel turn. Never mind the fact that the company would fear such a turn costing them revenue – a Cena turn is something that is supposed to be a big deal and considering WWE’s history with big deals in recent years, I’m pretty sure they’ll do something incredible stupid to ruin that turn’s potential, if any. Such a turn wouldn’t work anyway because if he displayed one iota of villainy, the people booing him would actually cheer him on… because ANY shift in Cena’s character would automatically make him a better character than what he’s portraying now.
It seems particularly telling that when WWE starts milking the whole anti-Cena wave by releasing a T-Shirt, the crowd gives them the proverbial “fuck you” by not reacting to any of this crap going on. You could barely make out the dueling Cena chants at the end and when they pan to the crowd, the good majority of the people are doing fuck all. It seems pretty obvious now that WWE has no idea on how to tap into that sentiment in a way that would benefit them AND produce great product for the viewing audience; something that the old WWF was particularly skilled at with their storylines.
