BY MIKE MOONEYHAM
It’s not exactly a one-man show, but most fans would have to agree that tonight’s Survivor Series pay-per-view is built around the ring return of The Rock.
Or, more specifically, the relationship and interaction between The Rock and John Cena as they build toward their epic tilt at next year’s Wrestlemania.
Count me among those who strongly believe that there has to be something more than comedy and catch phrases to put this eventual showdown over the top.
To that end, though, one of the two combatants will have to turn heel. With The Rock having long reached iconic status, and the Mania headliner taking place in his backyard of Miami, it may finally be time to do something that WWE has long been unwilling to do.
And that’s turn John Cena heel.
Cena has been the company’s top star and merchandise seller for the past several years, and WWE has rightfully been reluctant to jeopardize that. But if there was ever a time to do it, that time is now and it’s against The Rock.
It could be a slow turn, as has been subtly suggested in recent weeks, or it could happen as soon as tonight’s Survivor Series main event where Cena teams with The Rock against The Miz and R-Truth. The dream team’s opponents are, of course, just a backdrop for the bout.
Detractors argue, not without merit, that a Cena turn could be damaging to the long-term future of WWE. Cena, regarded by many as the hardest-working man in wrestling, is a tremendous company spokesman who is giving of his time and talents. He has been recognized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation for being one of the biggest celebrity wish-granters.
But a turn at this point in Cena’s career could make for a dream storyline with a huge payoff.
The turn wouldn’t have to, nor should it be, a long-term one. Just long enough to ride out Wrestlemania. Cena’s sappy style, popular with the younger set but a turnoff to the older audience, could surely win back his faithful following after box-office records are set for the Miami Mania.
Nearly 45,000 tickets already have been sold, and the show could gross a record-setting $9 million when all is said and done. Opening-weekend numbers of $6.3 million have already surpassed last year’s Westlemania in Atlanta, WWE’s second-biggest gate in history, which took in $6.28 million.
Miami’s Sun Life Stadium seats 75,192 fans for football, and even more for wrestling, so it could be a challenge for WWE to fill the venue.
Putting some big-time heat on the Cena-Rock clash would assure it.Comment -

#39Rumor has it John Morrison is done with WWE.
His contract is up next week, word is next Monday will be JM's last RAW and he will go to Jarrett's company at TNA.
But why give a big paycheck to JM in a PPV title bout? Unless it's to job for Ziggler?
But why would Vince have JM put over for Ziggler in Survivor if he's not getting a new contract?
Then again though, why did WWE pull Morrison from the Japan tour in December?
I like JM, tons of talent, but he is what he is, a mid card star, but mid card stars a dime a dozenComment -

I just wish Jarrett brothers would get away from the old timers and showcase the kids.
They have great talent.
Matt Morgan lives up the block from me in Fairfield Ct. here.
Styles is as good as anybody in the WWE

#44I just saw the PPV off a torrent and I was very impress with The Rock's new wrestling skills. For being gone at 7 years, I thought the Rock was just gonna show case the Rock Bottom and People's Elbow for a pop. The Rock knew what he was doing and really buried Cena as most were chatting "you can't wrestle" when Cena got tagged in for the first time.
What is the update on Sin Cara? Did he seriously get injured?
As for JoMo, I don't think he wants to be in the WWE anymore since Melina is gone too. Most likely they both head over to TNA.Comment
