Cena is a good guy and all, but his character is stale and needs a complete makeover. Is he moving that much merchandise that Vince is afraid if he turns heel, that he will never be able to sell (pun intended) another t-shirt? I hope UFC continues to crush WWE and the ppv buyrates continue to fall, maybe that would signal some change. TNA has the financial backing but still "can't get out of its own way". For every two steps forward they make, they take four in opposite direction.

U gotta understand that was a different era. You had grown men and women along with kids being Hulkamaniacs. Yes it got stale towards the end, but no wrestler rode the wave of success like Hogan. Even the purist of wrestling fans that love technical wrestlers more than Hogan cannot deny that. 

Vince can't realize that era was one of its kind and you can't replicate or duplicate that era. The older fans aren't stupid. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Sadly if the Hogan era did pave the way for Cena's success, then I am ashamed.

u tellin me nwo merch. didnt sell



hell i bet cena merch. sales dont even come close to what nwo sold

Nah, i think it has to do with him being a corporate spokesman for the company. WWE is aware John Cena brings in more $$$ from other source than just t-shirts sales.

WW officials kept quiet about Danielson's return until about 9 p.m. Wrestlers had no idea until they saw him backstage.

His profile has been added to the Raw roster, which means he's back full time.

It's a different time.  In the NWO/Attitude days, it was "cool" to wear wrestling shirts.  It was teenagers and grown men buying the merchandise.  Now (I don't have exact figures to back it up, but just look at the typical WWE audience), it's parents buying their young children merchandise.  That is why the top sellers are Cena and Mysterio.  Turning Cena heel, a character that young children are against, would be a huge blow to merchandise sales.  With WWE's current product, I can't see people thinking it's cool to wear a Cena shirt, even if he's heel.

Bryan Danielson really impressed me dude was very sharp. My guess a feud between him and Miz now for a while

Miz has won me over I just hope he doesn't fall into what Cena is now it's just

to me.

So what match you guys think Randy and Sheamus will have a Night of Champions? My guess is Last Man maybe.

How about a match where one of them actually does the JOB? Two matches, two DQs finishes.
