I can't think of a way that Cena can turn heel and it'll keep the older fans from cheering him other than going after the Attitude Era and killing off sacred cows.
But who the hell could they even use for Cena as far as "Attitude Era sacred cows" go?

John Cena vs. Booker T
John Cena vs. Kevin Nash
John Cena vs. Steve Blackman
John Cena vs .....? who else left is there that's not tied down to a TNA contract?

This game is almost 10 years old and the animations loving destroy the ones in SVR today. THQ and Yukes are such amateurs. Christ.
That just reminds me how much that roster annihilates what we have to deal with these days :(

What weird random Smackdown to randomly fall on. I was actually looking for the July 5th, 2001 Smackdown because I didn't remember DDP turning against Shane McMahon & Booker T during the Alliance angle. Instead I got this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F54lQdmOhk0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F54lQdmOhk0

A TOTALLY random Smackdown from 2005 that includes such crazy things like The Blue Meanie w/ the bWo vs. JBL (including bWo opening up Smackdown, wtf), Hassan's last WWE appearance after the terrorist attack on Taker, Eddie Guerrero/Rey Mysterio awesomeness, stuttering Matt Morgan, and Christian vs. the World Champ Batista shortly before he left for TNA, AND Chris Benoit vs. Booker T.

Whoa.

There's plenty of quality Angle matches in TNA. Somebody might need to help me out here, but I'm just gonna throw out there:

Kurt Angle vs. Nigel McGuinness (Desmond Wolfe)(3 Stages of Hell)
Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles um.....numerous ones. maybe the last man standing match?
Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Anderson (Cage Match @ Lockdown) <-- Fantastic match
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe (Lockdown)
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe (3rd match out of the 3 match series when he debuted in TNA)
Kurt Angle vs. Jay Lethal

Since I can't think of the exact best Angle/Styles match out of the several they've had, I'm just gonna say watch Angle/Anderson from Lockdown. Plenty of crazy Kurt in that one.

They need Kevin Nash in a role similar to that in the WWE. Not all serious like he has been, aka, boring.

His run in the X-Division was one of the most hilarious wrestling angles ever.

Back when he was feuding with Sting, he called him sunshine, then slapped the poo poo out of Sting when Sting got uppity about it. Slapping a dude is one of my favorite heat getters because it almost always works. Although that reminds me of how when HBK came back and won the world title, he was scheduled to face RVD, and slapped him to test RVD's readiness or somesuch nonsense. Well, RVD slapped him right back, HARD, to the point where I swear I heard HBK wince. Then HBK tries to save face by saying "I guess you're ready, then."
At the time, RVD vs. HBK was like the biggest dream match I could come up with.

drat, that match was a disappointment. What's sad is that even though HBK & RVD were in the company together for years after that, they never had another match. This match was right after HBK came back from the hiatus. Would have loved to see maybe a 2007 RVD/HBK match. Especially when RVD was on fire after he won the ECW/WWE championship (for the short month that was).

Out of context, it's probably not a crazy bad rear end promo, but at the time it was awesome. From the Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita triangle thing. Hardy gets rehired after this angle was red hot, merging real life issues with wrestling. So, he proceeds to go out on Raw and cut the most boring, horrrrible promo ever in his return and almost kills the angle dead. The next week, Edge puts it back on track:

Doesn't change the fact that squashing him was just wasting even MORE money in the biggest waste-of-money angle in history.
Even though Taz had been plenty damaged by this point, this was his one shot at redemption, the best described, confused crowd of 2001 WWE was really starting to get hardcore behind Taz in his defiance of Stone Cold. And then it....all just washed away in about 2 minutes. I'm not saying there was serious PPV money in it, but there was definitely hardcore money lost in not doing anything with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aHxfoNrSW4

There's a lot of right in that video, and a huge amount of wrong. It's crazy how much of the short stick Tazz got in the WWE. Probably mostly because he was short. I know probably the majority of you guys reading this just know him as the annoying color commentator that ruins broadcasts. But, before that, that dude was f'n awesome as a wrestler. He had a great build going into the WWE, but then came the last second employment of Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn and he got buried in that wake in the hardcore division and proceeded to do nothing until his WWF Champion vs. ECW Champion match, and then did nothing forever, and became a commentator and then the Alliance thing happened and he had a solid match with Tajiri at Invasion and then the hugely teased feud with Austin, and then back to the commentary table.

Dude could have been more. But, blame has to be placed also on probably his health care after his neck injury early in the ECW days against Dean Malenko, yup.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xihcya_edge-and-lita-on-the-matt-hardy-feud-raw-8-8-2005_sport#.UZxAurXrxok

I've wanted to reference this promo 4-5 times in the past and couldn't find it on youtube, just ran into it. It was back from when the Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita real life stuff hit and WWE wanted to make an angle off of it and rehired Matt Hardy. After all of this huuuuuuuuge buildup, Matt Hardy returns to Raw and gives one of the worst promos ever and nearly kills the angle instantly dead because Matt Hardy totally sucks.

Well, Edge, on the other hand, reaks of awesomeness and with this promo, single handily not only repeatedly burned Matt Hardy in terms of attacking how terrible his promo was, but also saved the feud with just one promo.
