RELAX!!!
OK, just f***ing relax!
Hear me out and don't take it too seriously:
Lately I get the feeling that Cena's a man out of time, just like Bret was when the attitude era was coming in.
Leaving aside views that it was never really Cenas time or whatever or whatever hate you might have for him.
It just feels like they're moving into a new era. For a good while they had returned to the formula of a clear distinction between clean cut white meat baby faces and jackass cowardly heels. And Cena is unwilling or unable to change with the times. The same was true of Bret. Granted it lead to Bret's heel turn (spectacular motivation by the way, sort of an "I didn't change, you people did" sort of thing). But I'm not turning this into a heel turn thread.
There's a Bret Hart quote I'm failing to find, it may have been on the back of the Wrestling with Shadows video case, he was lamenting the moral landscape of wrestling at the time, it was something like "It used to be black and white, there were good guys and bad guys, now all they want is shades of grey".
The moral landscape of WWE is shifting (finally aligning with audience expectations perhaps?) and it's shifting around Cena and leaving him behind.
Point is...Bray Wyatt is the new Steve Austin...there I said it
