John Cena misses blood in WWE, would prefer shows were more graphic

While John Cena has become the face of the PG Era in WWE, he openly admits to Rolling Stone in a recent interview that he wishes the shows were geared more towards his age group (he's currently 38-years-old) and he misses blood in matches.

It's difficult to argue with his reasoning:

"I'm a 38-year-old man. I'd much rather it be a program geared toward me, whether that's TV-14 or sometimes even more graphic than that, which is what I like. For one thing, profanity brought fire out of people with personalities that backed the language. It's very difficult to say, 'Oh, you're being poopy,' especially when they're meant to be fighting words. And now, if someone starts to bleed, the referee intervenes to stop the bleeding. But before, you'd just let it fly. Blood is one of the things that made fights cool. Like, you knew it had gotten serious. I understand why we don't do it anymore. Vince has been a coach to me, a father figure, a boss and a friend, and his goal and my goal are the same: to make the company be as big as it can be. But, yeah, the blood is one thing I miss."

Cena absolutely has a smart mind for both the business of professional wrestling and, more specifically, the business of WWE. While we may crave fresh faces at the top of the card for storytelling purposes, it's not hard to see why Vince McMahon has been hesitant to move Cena out of his long held role as the face of the company.
