I think a big problem with character development is continuation. I couldnt stay behind John Cena when became the marine because it was totally different and the gimmick change wasnt explained or put into a storyline. Edge developed well. His Rated R gimmick actually makes sense since he was always a cheater. But Cena went from a rapper to a marine. So do you think this is a big problem? Do they need to explain the characters more?

In general I don't think it is a big problem. The only character I want to see a deeper explanation of is Umaga. How did AAO find him? Now that he is by himself how does he get from place to place, since he is such a "savage"? At this point they should humanize him a bit. Like Toa from American Gladiators. Keep him a samoan warrior, but he speaks English, is a more regular guy, but then has a big ritual in the back where he puts on his makeup, does a tribal dance then goes into some battle trance, hence the crazy Umaga face we always see.

And since Cena's new pic is going to be named "12 Rounds" does that mean he's going to become a boxer now???

continuation just doesn't work in wrestling
similar to how it doesn't work in long-running horror franchises
