A great take on the recent turn.
John Cena recently appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, and Cena discussed a range of topics including The Rock’s recent heel turn.
The former WWE Champion had a great take on The Rock turning heel for the first time since 2003:
"I don’t know what to think of it yet. I liked what he did back when he was Hollywood Rock. I’d have to see the end result, and I love being surprised and I also love saying I’m wrong. I’ve been wrong about a whole lot of stuff. When I say I’m wrong, that means I’m about to learn something I’m not going to forget. I think Dwayne Johnson is such an attraction. The Rock is such an attraction….”
“I don’t think our audience is angry with him. I think there is an underlying sense of fulfillment that they are angry that they expectations were changed. The metric I use, from my own path of polarization...they did a segment that was heavily disliked. The most disliked segment in WWE social history. How many WrestleMania ticket refunds did you see? Zero. The metric to look at for me is, how many people don’t want to see the show?"
Cena has previously hinted that he will be a part of WrestleMania XL next month.
