I wonder how long it's going to take before they pull a tweener storyline out of Cena. At some point they are going to run out of former stars begging fans to cheer him.

Wasn't Piper telling Cena to tell the fans to fuck off? It was some fun continuity, that's the 2nd or 3rd Piper's Pit over the last few years where Piper has tried to talk Cena into turning heel. The WWE really isn't afraid of acknowledging Cena's boos - last night Cena actually brought up the 3-4 most hostile crowds he ever wrestled in front of over the last 5 years. You make it sound like Royal Rumble 1992 where the WWF didn't acknowledge, and then actually tried to edit out, the cheers when Sid eliminated Hogan, or when they cut short the Jake Roberts/Hogan feud because Roberts was getting too many cheers. For god's sake, they're booking him against the Rock at Mania, he will be the heel in that match, just like he was the heel against RVD, against Edge, against CM Punk. Every one of those matches involved a heel turn, and they were all considered great matches/storylines. In 2011, not unlike 1996, I don't think you can define heel/face strictly based on how a guy acts, or traditional booking. If Cena is boo'd and the Rock is cheered at Mania - Cena's the heel. And that alignment is very obviously intentional - just like it was intentional with RVD/Edge/CM Punk. If a company sets up a guy in a match where he'll be boo'd, and then he is, how is he not a heel?
I think the Nash thing is all about health. The guy has heart issues, I think they were hoping for 1 or 2 PPV garbage hardcore type matches, and that's still might be the plan, and opposed to him wrestling a full schedule.
