This heel time has been a long time coming — This heel turn has been a long time coming

To many, John Cena represents everything that is wrong with the product in today's day and age. Cena has been the face of family-friendly WWE, and there has not been a shift in his character for many years. We all know how Hulk Hogan was in a similar spot, and how much he benefitted from his heel turn, effectively forming the nWo. Cena could do something similar if WWE allowed him.

Based on his acting chops, I daresay that Cena would make a pretty fantastic heel!
