Roman has gotten numerous records and accolades, is it time to share the wealth?

Does Reigns really deserve the all time Rumble elimination record over the 100's of other talents in WWE history?

Does he deserve the Survivor Series tie for eliminating 4 participants?

Does he deserve to be a 2 time, soon to be 3 time WWE Champion?

Does he deserve segment time vs Vince?

Reigns has beaten CLEAN everyone I can recall except CENA, UNDERTAKER, STROMAN, and Lesnar.

Reigns 99% will beat HHH.

WWE, I get it, you love this guys look and want to try to make money from him. Youve given Romancountless accolades other wrestlers will never get a fraction of.

My question is.....ISNT IT TIME TO SHARE THE WEALTH AND LET SOME OTHER WRESLTERS HAVE SOME BIG MOMENTS?

I mean Reigns is getting the HHH rub, that should be the end of it.

Let some other guys win clean. Let some other GUY get the LESNAR rub.

Let somebody else beat STROMAN clean.

There will never be anyone to challenge Reigns unless they start sharing important records and clean wins.

No, he needs more. The only reason reigns isnt over like daniel bryan is the crowds not sure he can beat anyone, ie not sure hes credible. Id book a raw where the authority really screws him and he has to wrestle the entire roster!

After he pins everyone then the fans will know hes to be taken seriously

Of course they need to spread the wealth, I don't know why everybody on this thread is on their high horse. Maybe you should had open your thread with "Roman suckzz, he's not over", 10+ pages guaranteed in 5 mintues.

Roman Reigns has the most Royal Rumble eliminations in a single match... what other records has he broken? None.

There would be a thousand various records across WWE history, and from what I can see Roman Reigns is barely sighted (yet).

Your premise is false.

Yeah I thought the Rumble records were a bit much. If you think about it the past 3 royal rumbles were so much about him. Kane should've kept the most eliminations in a rumble.


They're trying to make the whole era based on him. To see him on the cover of every pay-per-view is annoying, especially when the fans are not demanding him and WWE is instead demanding me adhere to him.

I wish he would not be the focus of a Raw for a change. I just want him to be used in smaller doses for a little while and then I'd be able to handle him again, but the WWE Universe needs a damn break. It's unfair to us because we never asked for the "Roman Empire".

Yeah it's an absolute travesty that Kane... Kane... was unable to retain his most eliminations in a single match and is only stuck with the record of the most eliminations of all time in addition to many other gimmick records.

Lol.

Is Kane's single-match royal rumble elimination record really that holy and untouchable that we should have a whinge about him losing it?

The time to share the wealth was at least 8 years ago, when they went full steam towards this misconcept that their top babyface should be the sole focus of the entire show and nothing else worth of note should be produced.

Right now, I think sharing the wealth across the roster would help not only in creating more new stars, but would also help Reigns in getting over with the people.

Guys, I was on WF since late 2014. I just never posted until whatever the fuck my join date is.


Join Date =/= Time spent on the forum.


I know that concept is ... like fucking bonkers, but it's actually possible. Call me fucking crazy or something but yeah!


Okay, this thread is kind of just one huge trap, so I'm just going to say that Reigns is getting these accolades because he is in line to be #1 , no matter what anyone here thinks that's what the higher ups (Vince/Dunn) want so if you think you can share #1 well, life doesn't work like that.

You're telling me that there are other wrestlers on the roster?
Not for long. Pretty soon the show will start off with a ziggler comedy act, new day in a blackface skit, del rio teaching them spanish and finally dean doing a puppet show alongside a returning santino.

Then reigns will come out and strut around, shaking his hair, winking at the audience and hoo aah ing for 15 minutes.

The ratings will go thru the roof, no violence to scare kids, it will be a new era

The thing I am learning, great wrestlers just need 1 moment to encapsulate their overness, see Dbry. Others like John Cena, needs yearly mega push, among constant pushing to keep him relevant.

If Roman was to be the Rock (which is basically what they want), then he should have already gotten over with all the fans, Wyatt was all he needed but that didn't work, then their master plan was to make Sheamus as lame as possible and that didn't work, and when Rollins luckily got injured rather than put him over Rollins, McMahon decides to come out and pull his old ways in what became an epic failure on Roman so they gave Roman the belt on RAW for a short lived title run. The way its suppose to be, love him or hate him you like him in the program like Rock, well that ain't the case, this apple, is far from the tree.


Which means they will go to Plan B, which is the Cena Method, slap the superman formula where kryptonite only effects him 1 day of the year, probably Summerslam or TLC where he can lose by someone cheating.

I don't ask for revolutionary new ideas every week, but people they try and sell us need to be great. Braun is gonna be great, he is gonna have powerful matches and he is gonna get whoever he faces over. Roman just didn't work in any way shape or form. Yeah its good idea to keep him on the program, but dam, he needs to change what he is doing, his entire character is played out even with Dbry it didn't help him.

Your right, its about time they give these guys on the bench the pushes they deserve, they were given nothing yet managed to get more over than Roman.

Reigns has one record. He only tied the SvS record which means nothing since Ziggler did the same thing

Winning the WWEWHC 3 times in 7 months is excessive but Daniel Bryan also won it 3 times in 8 months; don't remember any bitching about that.

Segment time with Vince is neither a record nor an accolade and beating HHH might be considered an accolade but it hasn't happened yet. You already pointed out he hasn't beaten Cena or Lesnar or Undertaker which are the real accomplishments.

So basically the point of this thread is you didn't like him breaking Kane's rumble record and beating a roster full of jobbers.

First of all, "deserve" is a meaningless term. You don't get anything because you deserve it. What even constitutes deserving? There are many people who deserve many things but they don't get them. There are people who deserve to live more than 3 years after being born, but they don't get it. The world, and therefore the pro wrestling industry doesn't run on deserve.

Second of all, the fact that wrestlers continue to get bashed for their booking annoys me, because for the most part (read: unless their name is John Cena or Chris Jericho or The Undertaker) they don't really have a say in the matter. They do what they're told and can pitch ideas, but that's as far as it goes. One of the biggest problems of wrestling today is that wrestlers don't get any creative freedom.

I don't care.

No accolade in Wrestling is real other than the money/crowds you draw and how much screen time VKM is willing to give you.

If you're really lucky and you tick a lot of the boxes that the "office" & Vinnie Mac unofficially have on some mystic clipboard somewhere, you might (MIGHT) be a top guy.

Does all of that sound like "accolades" to you????

"Roman Reigns breaking Kane's Royal Rumble Elimination Record is quite possibly one of the greatest achievements deserving of recognition" - Said No one EVER (seeing as "Kane" was the previous record holder and look at the wonders that came in holding that record for him)

They can give you a hundred title runs and book you to never lose (clean) for a solid 2 years straight, if you're not likeable and you don't evoke emotion from the crowd how is any fake accolade a mark of success???

If OP is grasping at straw and Roman being the only one featured one way or another isn't a problem to you then don't bitch about them not making stars( "why don't they push Owens/Wyatt/Cesaro/Styles.."). Don't bitch about the show being boring because its full of jobbers.
Now who's the wwe apologists for finding excuses to that crap hum?

The argument isn't that he's the only one thats protected-- the argument is that other people would get over if they got these supposed "accolades" instead of Reigns. The problem is his only actual accolades are the Rumble record, a Rumble win, main eventing WM and being 2 time WHC. It's fine if you don't think he should be the guy and thus those are too many accolades for a guy who isn't good enough but to act like those are too many accolades for a top guy is disingenuous. Seth Rollins' 1 WHC reign is about 3x as long as Reigns' 2. Seth Won Mitb and cashed in a WM, Seth was the first person to ever hold the WHC and USC at the same time, Seth wrestled Brock, Seth wrestled Sting, Seth main evented 7 ppvs (Fastlane will be Reigns' 7th), Seth had more tv time than anyone I've ever seen in 30 years; nobody is saying that was too much to give to Seth. It's only too much because it's Reigns.

Not that I disagree about the fake accolades not meaning much to us... jaded fans.... but to the WWE, they mean quite bit to THEM or they wouldn't talk about them motherfucking non stop... especially around the times they are most relevant.

All I know for a fact is that Reign's current push vs. the duration of time spent as a solo act....can only really be compared to a short list of guys before him....and Its up to the individual if you feel he deserves or belongs to be there:

-Lesnar
-Goldberg
-Kurt Angle
-Taker I guess

The annoying thing about Reigns as far as his presentation is that it's mixed up, WWE don't know how to portray him. They start with making him look like a dominant powerhouse with the Survivor Series and Royal Rumble records. I had actually forgotten about those because they've spent so much time recently trying to make him look like an underdog. As a result, neither approach works because they cancel each other out, and they're overly obvious ploys to get Roman over.
