will it have an impact similar to Hogan at BATB 1996? Keep in mind that children were basically both men's fan base.

He'll become my favorite WWE wrestler, that's all I know. Take away his kiddy fanbase, and the guy kicks ass.

It wont have the same impact. Hogan had been the ultimate babyface for years and years and years. Cena has been a face for a few years (at most?) And he got popular as a heel, so no, it wont have the same impact.. but I would love a heel Cena.

It may. Kids will indeed cry. There will be excellent close up shots of it. I will laugh. Good times will be had by all.

WHen they do turn Cena heel, it will be much safer than when Hogan turned.
When Hogan turned, debris of all kinds were thrown into the ring, which could have been dangerous to those in it.
When Cena turns, the debris will consist of foam knux, foam replica belts, t-shirts, and hats. The most it will do to anyone it hits is annoy them.

It will be so surreal. Because I'm certain when Cena turns heel and gives a great heel promo, which he can. The entire fanbase will switch. Everyone who booed him will once again like him and all the marks will boo him.
It will be like bizarro world. And I hope Cena will then grow a goatee.

Cena with a goatee? Damn, that's pretty hard to imagine since his face has always been so flawless and hairless. Cena turning heel will be the hot topic of the month for the IWC but get ready for the "I'm dumping Cena" comments from marky women.

His character needs a complete overall. Make him a juggernaut heel, get rid of the poop and nut jokes, teach him a few more moves, and change the gimmick he has. No more rapper-marines.

Yeah, he should scream at Jonathan Coachman to get his way since his body is so big and buff and he's going to have this monkey hybrid type of gimmick.. Sorry, I was watching your avatar.

I doubt it. Cena hasn't been around long enough to have that initial shock factor as Hogan did. That and people have been talking about the possibility of a Cena turn for about a year now especially on the internet...so when it does come it won't have near the effect on people as Hogan's had.
When Hogan turned nobody expected it really. Cena's will pretty much be expected at some point even by his biggest fans.

It won't have Hogan sized impact, but it'll be pretty large. He's their top face, and although he isn't even their top draw, he's a big time merchandise seller. I still contend that his sales will go up when he turns, but that's a shot in the dark on my part.
I still don't think I'll LIKE him, but I'll tolerate a great deal more if he's not saying "poopy pants" and "all these fans want me to kick your ass!" *boos*

Hogan's heel turn was probably the biggest one ever. He went from biggest babyface in the history of the business to one of the most hated. And it led WCW to the "promised land."
Cena's turn, while it will be impactful, will have nowhere near the effect on the business Hogan's had.
When Cena is allowed to be himself, he can be pretty entertaining. When he's all scripted by the writers, he's boring as hell.

Its possible, but wait another five years or so for that to fully happen (if it does). When most of your fanbase was young, but when Hogan turned heel...he turned at the right time when the young fanbase has turned into an adult. Basically, a "real-world" Hogan was formed, instead of the "kayfabe" Hogan, who did the world good.

I don't think Cena's turning heel anytime soon. If they haven't turned him yet, they clearly do not want to since they have had every opportunity in the world to do so over the past year.
And no, I would not start loving Cena just because he is heel. I know people on the internet have a rep for praising the heels strictly because they are heels. I do not like Cena because I just do not like his character, and I can't relate to it very much.
