Time is now for John Cena to turn heel
In the television listings today, the teaser for tonight’s Raw says: “After WrestleMania, what’s next for John Cena, Triple H and champion Randy Orton?”
I’m so glad they asked.
For Triple H and Orton, I think a title match between the two at the Backlash pay-per-view on April 27 in Baltimore would be in order. As for Cena, I would suggest something a little more dramatic.
It’s time for WWE to finally give in to the humanoids and turn Cena heel...More?

House defeats bill tightening wrestling
The House body slammed a bill aimed at tightening regulation of professional wrestling in Georgia. By a 105-57 vote, the House killed Senate Bill 413, which would have eliminated the exemption that has spared World Wrestling Entertainment from state regulations and would also subject performers to random drug tests.
Rep. Jim Cole (R-Forsyth) argued that the bill protects "the health, welfare and safety of performers and fans." But the House disagreed.
The WWE, the top professional wrestling circuit, is exempt from state regulation because of a 2005 statute that excludes all organizations with assets of more than $25 million...More?
