Tommy Dreamer believes John Cena’s heel turn isn’t working because fans still cheer for him.
Dreamer recently shared his thoughts on John Cena’s heel turn during an episode of Busted Open Radio. He said the turn hasn’t worked the way it should. However, he admitted that the heel turn has helped Cena face new opponents while talking about his match against CM Punk at WWE Night of Champions.
“I still don’t think the heel turn has worked because they just cheer for him. But it does work for… it has given him different opponents. He is going out there and doing his best, and it’s you, the fan that continues to cheer for him.”
John Cena should go 100% all in if he’s a heel, according to Dreamer
Dreamer explained that he would approach being a heel in John Cena’s position. “Here’s a difference, the thing that John can’t do that I would do… Like I would stop doing the things that I do. If somebody approached me in a grocery store, I would heel them. I would go 100% all in on social media. I even said this, I probably would quit this show, because why would I want to talk to people?… I couldn’t say, ‘John Cena, stop doing all these commercials.’… His social media is still uplifting. I don’t think he can do that.”
He pointed out how wrestlers like Randy Savage stayed in character even when they appeared on mainstream shows. “I grew up in the era of Arsenio Hall, when it was the hottest show on television, and here came Randy Savage and in full gimmick… cutting promos about stuff that’s going on, and whether he was a heel or baby face, he still was being 100% the Macho Man because… he’s on mainstream.
