I just can't believe WWE gave us all of that with no heel turn. I mean, I'm not one of those guys that's like ZOMGTURNCENAHEEL, but for Cena to be a face after WrestleMania... I just don't quite get it.
- The heat magnet MGK insulting the hometown hero and calling Cena an "underdog". - The Boston Celtics attire (the night of WrestleMania, Boston beat Miami in the NBA...) - The chickenshit heel antics by running from Rock. - The mockery of The Rock with The People's Elbow. - Losing.

There's no point in turning Cena heel. None at all. He gets booed as it is, yet still rakes in the merchandise. Why make him heel just to continue to get him booed, but burn the bridge of your biggest merch seller? Pointless.

I thought an ending that made people say "HOLY SHIT! WE GOTTA TUNE IT TO RAW!" would be Cena sitting outside on the ramp like he was, Rock in the ring posing on the turnbuckle. Rock jumps down and from behind gets nailed by Brock Lesnar. Cena stands up and looks in the ring shocked. Lesnar lifts Rock on his shoulders, looks at Cena, and then nails the F5. Cena looks on still shocked as Brock stands in the ring over Rock's body, the crowd going nuts, the commentators going nuts, and the closing image of WrestleMania is Brock Lesnar and John Cena staring at each other.

I completely agree with this, just felt odd seeing the super hero acting like such a heel, but will then go straight back to being SuperCena now that WrestleMania season is over...

I've always wondered, what does the BSK Pride tattoo on Undertaker's stomach stand for?

I wrote a review for my Tumblr, but yeah, figured I'd post here too.
Never mind, way too long. xD
Also, the BSK stands for Back Stage Krew, to my knowledge.

I've always read that is Bone Street Krewe. Backstage is one word, so I don't think it's that. I thought an ending that made people say "HOLY SHIT! WE GOTTA TUNE IT TO RAW!" would be Cena sitting outside on the ramp like he was, Rock in the ring posing on the turnbuckle. Rock jumps down and from behind gets nailed by Brock Lesnar.

And I'd have shit my pants if that happened.

Lesnar attacking Rock serves no purpose, even in the aforementioned staredown with Cena. Rock got his win and will go away again for a long time. Having Lesnar attack him means Rock has to stick around 'cos he's not just gonna leave without retaliating. If Lesnar is indeed to return, then tonight on Raw makes more sense. Rock's out of the way so a Lesnar/Cena thing can start cleanly. His original debut was the night after a Wrestlemania anyway so I could see them doing the same thing again.
That's IF Lesnar were to return and it's not just rumours.

So, do you guys think we witnessed the final match of The Undertaker?

No, if The Undertaker has his final match, we will know. I'm still anticipating Cena/Undertaker for next year's WrestleMania...

Why make him heel just to continue to get him booed, but burn the bridge of your biggest merch seller? Pointless. Why do you assume because a person is heel they will not sell merchandise? NWO moved massive amounts of merchandise back in the day, same with D-Generation X. It would make Cena appeal more to adults.

Mainly because I can't see the adults who dislike him, starting to like him even with a heel turn. You raise a valid point though.

All I know is when I saw him live in 2004, EVERYONE went nuts for him. Adults, kids, women, etc. He was a face, but he was a badass face who didn't particularly care for the rules. I saw a lot more support for him then, and a lot of adults wearing Cena shirts. When I saw him live again in 2006, he was booed out of the building and I barely saw any Cena shirts.
He makes a lot of money from kids, but just as many adults enjoy wrestling as kids... they aren't tapping into that.

Plus having Cena heel will boost the face status of other, and will then increase their merch sales.

No matter if they make Lesnar "heel" against Cena, the fans will be electric for Lesnar and boo the fuck out of Cena, until Cena finally turns heel. I'm at the point when, yes, I agree it's time. He needs to reinvent himself.
