Don't worry. He's NEVER turning heel. Ever. Period.
Those shirts were/are sold in MALE ADULT sizes. That's the difference.That's why NWO is some of the best selling merchandise of all time and it's for a heel stable? Who says heels can't sell merch? Look at Daniel Bryans "YES!" shirt as well.
then he's a fucking FACE.And so what if he is cheered? A heel being cheered is never a bad thing.
Not only that but PLENTY of kids were rocking the nWo shirts back then, both Wolfpac and Hollywood.And adult males still make up the majority of the demographic.

Got any more bullshit excuses to throw at me?
Its a paradox. Yes, I agree you dont always need to cheer faces, and boo heels. But the WWE generally feels that if youre being cheered, youre a face. Trust me, if the cheers for D-Bry get louder and continue to do so, they have no choice but to turn him face. You can take that to the bank. Unless Cena does something utterly despicable, he wont ever turn heel. Sorry, this isnt the same thing as the nWo.Except cheering a heel doesn't make them a face. This is an outdated notion that needs to die out. A heel is someone who portrays a villainous character, crowd reaction has nothing to do with it. The NWO often got cheered and they would even suck up to the crowd to get cheers as well.
:bosh what? The WWE basically dictates who is face or heel. Are you saying that because we boo Cena, he's a heel right now? I honestly think your defense here is to confuse the people arguing against your point enough to where they just go all "WTF?" and bow out...It's not. I'm not disagreeing with you. And Daniel Bryan should turn face once they establish a few more heels and if he can keep his momentum. And I don't really care what the WWE thinks, why would I care about their view of wrestling when they don't care about the view of anyone elses? What kind of company actually makes their OWN fans question their morals when they boo someone they don't like?
Uh I think you're mistaken. See, Cena didn't have attitude in the WM28 build up with Rock. He was exactly the same as he is now, except it was even more glaring. This can be easily seen when, while Rock is threatening to rip Cena's throat out, Cena has this jackass grin on his face like he just farted. The fact that he no sold Rock and yet gave us pretty much the same shit we've been getting for years really didn't help the feud, but hindered it.As much I would love to see Cena turn heel, I agree full heartedly with the following:
For years now the WWE Universe has been begging for a John Cena heel turn, and yes, I was one of those fans until I watched Monday Night Raw.
Watching Raw the night after Mania and hearing Cena talk, there is one thing to walk away knowing—John Cena's heel turn will not work!!!
The crowd went nuts that night when Cena said, "everyone thinks this is the night I will finally turn on the WWE Universe," but yet again it wasn't. But when he said it was going to be, the place went crazy.
People want John Cena to turn heel so badly that when he finally does...people are going to cheer for him! Cena will one day go back to clowning on people with raps and rhymes and making people laugh and cheer for what he says. He will have that swagger that people hated, and he will be a lot more badass as the Doctor of Thuganomics.
There lies the problem: That is the character that everyone grew to love! Nobody will boo him if he turns heel, and it will put his character in limbo.
With that being said, I do think John Cena needs to grow his (you know what) back and be an aggressive angry man. He is too friendly and not angry enough to be a professional wrestler. I mean he beats guys up for a living, he should show some attitude. We saw glimpses of that with The Rock and people approved.
But a lot of people want him to turn on the crowd and become that bad guy. That won't work. The second he gets mean and does something bad, people will lose their minds and cheer for him so loudly, that he won't be booed.
Nobody is booing the Face John Cena, we are just booing the Good Guy John Cena. Having him be a heel will ruin his run, and it won't work in the long run either. He can be the face of the company as long as he brings back that "swag" that made him so popular in the first place. Lose the goofy colors, the dumb smile, and quit talking to the camera when you come out for your entrance.
Wear the throwback jerseys and the chain, rap, and just show an aggressive side.
You don't have to be a heel to be bad, and hopefully the WWE has figured this out
The point of the heel is to get booed so the Face can get sympathy and thus be cheered.And so what if he is cheered? A heel being cheered is never a bad thing. The fact that Vince and the rest of those idiots in management think that it is are SEVERELY out of touch.
