Seriously though, why don't heels do heel stuff anymore?

[3Rivers]

but playing it safe isn't the only thing holding them back right now, wouldn't you agree? i mean even if they turned john cena heel tomorrow you would still have more faith in them fukking it up right?

Absolutely. I mean they botched Cesaro's momentum coming out of WM when the shyt basically wrote itself. Inserting Cena into Ambrose/Rollins, Destroying Ryder after he gets over, The New Day, etc

my questions is even if they DID have to step it up, do you really trust the current people in charge to deliver?

Sadly no. I'm in I'll believe it when I see it mode. Some of Vince's answers on Austin's podcast were a real eye opener. I wish Shane was still around. It'd be interesting to see how he would run things

This is probably the biggest issue with their current product.

the real reason

you can't have swag heels that people will cheer and like….so they make them bland and faceturn when they get momentum…see CM Punk and Cesaro….

So JBL was the last true heel in the WWE

They stepped away from most things that are classic traditional wrestling logic, probably cuz vince hates wrestling lol

I don't think WWE gives the kids they're marketing at enough credit for their ability to separate fiction and to solidify their reason for loving their favorite wrestler it usually centers around "Because they beat up that guy I didn't like"

you kinda gotta offer up some kind of reason for people to dislike the heels

Most of us here have a fave that became a fave off them giving that work to a heel you couldn't stand as a kid.

All the true heels are faces, Sheamus Cena etc do some real heel shyt
