This time last year cena was getting booed out of every building,..a heel turn loooked inevitable..his whole character was hated by masses of audiences all over the country...
So why is he being cheered so much lately?..i know hes being booked agaisnt guys like edge,umaga who the fans wont cheer for...but he still seems to get large crowd pops...you dont even hear a mixture of booing in his entrance now...
so why is he suddenly popular again...he hasn't done anyhting diffrent..if anyhting his superhuman ..never jobbing character seems more annoying than it was last year!!!
Everytime he gets a big pop i get annoyed because i know itll mean they wont change anything about him and more than likely keep him champion.
Anyone else not get this/..why the hell is he getting cheered so much now??

Got me. I guess people just like him. I don't, but as far as regular WWE crowds go I'm in the minority there. Batista is the same way. People just like him for some reason.

The boos come and go with Cena. He's not out of the woods yet, but his reactions have gotten better.

because the people who boo him are a huge minority
really, nothing more to it than that. his fans are continuing to cheer him like hell and buy all his merchandise so the character of John Cena will likely not change

Well the wwe decided that rather than give his charcter a new edge, or have him learn som new moves, the best course of action was to shove hium down our throats until the majority liked him. As much as I hate to say it a vast majority of wwe fans are sheep that just kinda go with the flow. It doesnt take much to get most fans (especially kids) to get behind a guy when he is on every show (they did this a number of times) he is constantly in underdog situations, and he beats the bad guys every time. Or maybe the feud with Edge was a lot better than I thought it was?

Those of us who were booing him figured out it wasn't going to change a damn thing.

because the people who boo him are a huge minority I don't think they're a minority right now. Hell, they were a MAJORITY a few months ago. I suspect the noticeable boos will come back in a few months. Then maybe they'll go away again. I'm starting to think it's a cycle. Not that it really matters to me. I'm kind of neutral to Cena right now. |

Yeah but the boos are creeping back. If he beats Taker or HBK the boos could get very bad. Let's see but I feel a heel turn might happen the marine is over and where does that leave Cena doing the marine salute after that movie bombed? I don't think so a heel turn would make sense and to do at Wrestlemania would be great because people still like him now and that would fuvor him way more hate. Sort of like at WM 15 when Triple H was a face and it looked like he was rejoining with Chyna and DX would come back and it was a rouse that he joined The Corporation. If he would do something dispicable to either HBK or Taker after the match than he would be guranteed to be a huge heel. The kid and women fans would turn and alot of males hate the guy so he would be the top heel in the WWE if he turned. But that would leave who as the top face? HBK? HHH when he comes back? Maybe Edge face turn? I don't know that may not be feasible. Eh, lets see I want to happen since a return to the edgy charachter that people liked might work out and the super cena crap has to end I mean not even Austin was this unbeatable!

I'm kind of neutral to Cena right now. It was kinda cool how much people turned on him around wrestlemania, and especially during. This was the first time I actually saw the fans cut into the main-event babyface. Well Cena isnt going anywhere anytime soon. |

Those of us who were booing him figured out it wasn't going to change a damn thing. The best way to send a message is to stop watching. That's what I did and I feel much better. I used to think that the only people that advised others not to watch just wanted the people complaining to shut-up because they were bothered by dissenting opinions; this is true to an extent, but not watching really does help. Plus, you can still read the results online (which is what I do). |

Booing is a waste of time if nobody listens, I think the fans figured that one out.

But I already paid for the WM ticket so I'm trying to keep up on what's going on. |

I really think that if Cena was turned heel for two years and then turned face again he would get over as a babyface. People need to be reminded why they liked him in the first place.
This whole situation is related to a bigger problem within WWE: Neutering popular characters. Basically, when WWE turns a popular heel to a face, they remove all the edginess from the character and have him be a typical babyface, which pisses the fans off (and rightly so). It's happened to HBK, The Rock, Cena, Piper, and many others. I'm not pointing out anything new, though. I think we all know about this.
