I don't think anyone would say that from the kids point of view, it wasn't special. I'm sure it was great. But watch Kevin Owens during that moment of the promo. He cannot say, do or think anything. He just smiles and that's probably the only thing he can't do. The problem when John Cena goes to the out of the ring activities that he does is that he leaves very little room for his opponent. What's Kevin Owens supposed to say? Sit down kid, I hope you die?
This is the problem with the "new era" of wrestling and "new era" fans. John Cena's the face. He's the good guy. He's supposed to be shown doing good things and being honorable. It's not up to him to "leave Owens room" to be redeemable and cheered. Owens is the heel. He's the bad guy. He's supposed to be hated. Hell he's supposed to say sit down, I hope you die. Pro wrestling would be better for the heel to have no room to be liked. Pro wrestling would be better for it if the entire audience was cheering the Cena character and booing the Kevin Owens character.
I really doubt they'd want to go that route with Owens. I'm not sure if you're calling me a new era fan.
John Cena is only as good a face he is when compared and played off against a great heel. Guess what, don't do everything in your power to make them look like shit and they'll get the heat they need.
