John Cena's 2015 heel turn could have been the best thing ever, not the worst

I remember watching him win the US title at Wrestlemania 31 and thinking finally, some edge. But by Summerslam that year against Seth Rollins, he went right back to the same super-Cena formula. The crowd in Brooklyn was booing him out of the building and he just kept hitting the same five moves. If they let him stay a tweener for a full year instead of three months, we could have gotten the best character work of his career. Anyone else think Vince pulled the plug way too early?

The crowd was turning on him anyway because the product was stale, not because they wanted a new character. Keeping him a tweener wouldn't have fixed the underlying problem of him never losing clean.

And that's exactly it @dakota160, you see the same thing in any job where someone keeps getting by without ever facing real consequences.
