Well, looks like the "Yes Movement 2.0" has begun. WWE needs to realize that it's too soon to push Reigns, it would be better to wait until WM 32 and try getting him to get over with the crowd naturally, not by shoving him down our throats.

Also, if they want to make him look strong, why the fuck is he winning by count-out?! fpalm

Look, I fucking hate Reigns, but this argument is silly. Daniel Bryan had a match with Kane on the Raw before Elimination Chamber and the same EXACT thing happened to him when Kane was in control for 90% of the match. Kane and Big Show just completely suck the life out of anything.

Now I will say, Reigns did get mild reactions when he was loading up the Superman punch the first time, he even got a decent amount of boo's. He only got cheered heavily when he teased the table spot, but that's more so because people love tables.

For once I agree with you

There's a small vocal group of nerds/iwc types in the arena tonight no doubt.........the countout win was by knocking big show over the announce table. How did that not make Reigns look strong?
I haven't watched the episode yet, but I'm going to take a stab and call crap on that. When it's a minority, no matter how vocal it is, you can tell it's a minority on this show. Think of how many times some assholes try to start a "boring" chant at the beginning of a match -- even if you can hear it, it's not the predominant chant and it's usually gone in a few seconds. If it's the overwhelming or predominant chant, that's not a vocal "minority."

Reigns got a decent return pop and now that shit's dying down. Everyone gets cheered when they come back, even John fucking Cena got a pretty good reaction when he returned in '08.

Back to reality. The guy doesn't have anything that makes him deserving of being #1 and people see through that shit.

At one time, Cena was actually entertaining, he didn't deserve the spot he currently has, but the rapper gimmick was something. Roman has nothing of the sort, and don't bring up the fucking Shield OK, he had two other guys carrying his ass and making him look good.

You say Cena didn't deserve the spot he has but the "rapper gimmick" made him entertaining. Then you say Reigns has nothing of the sort. That's true. Since the Shield broke up they have given Ambrose and Rollins great gimmicks, new attire & new music. Reigns they just kind of left him to ride on the coattails of what the Shield once was. He still has the same attire, the same music' the same character and still makes his entrance through the crowd. The problem with that is his character in the Shield only works in a team. He can't be the strong silent enforcer type who comes in and cleans house on a hot tag. They have given him pretty much no "gimmick" at all. He has plenty of potential you can check his pre-Shield work. He knows a lot more moves than they let him use, he talks a lot better if he's not forced to memorize a script and he's a lot more athletic than what most "big guys" are. I realize he's not as big as other "big guys" but that is the way he's being booked. There are people complaining saying Reigns doesn't deserve the spot he's in right now. That may be true but then a lot of guys don't "deserve" the spot they have. WWE chooses to put anyone, anywhere, at any time they want. Remember this is all scripted and most top guys have been elevated to where they are by WWE. Some guys have all the potential in the world but aren't given the chance to be on top because of the way they are booked. Sometimes the right guy gets pushed at the right time with the right gimmick and goes over with the crowd in a big way and makes it to the top. Other guys flop for whatever reason, maybe WWE pulls the rug out from under them, maybe they have a shitty gimmick (Reigns), maybe they just aren't the right guy (no charisma, ie: Curtis Axel), maybe the crowd just doesn't want to give them a chance because they want their favorites pushed instead, it goes on and on. Reigns booking isn't his fault. Maybe Cena or Orton has some control over the direction of their character but most guys don't. So the obvious hatred you display toward Reigns using the arguments of " not deserving", no gimmick, & "not entertaining" is more on creative than on Reigns. He has it in him to be much more than they are allowing. Hate what they are doing with the guy but don't hate him because he's being poorly booked.

Roman was never over with the crowd. Majority of people find him boring, it's no surprise he got that reaction.

I love how everyone is dismissing the chant, so if the smarks weren't there would there be a 'This Is Awesome' chant for that trainwreck of a match?

Reigns cutting pre-taped promos is a dangerous step in the wrong direction, I could barely watch that match. Maybe it was the booking, but it looks terrible when the Big Show pulls out more moves than the guy being pushed.

So four guys try to chant against Roman and now it's big deal?? :lmao


As far as the match, I love whenever Roman faces Kane or Big Show, it's a blah match and everyone likes to go "See?!! Roman sucks." But another talent goes against those slow fucks and it's a blah match and all the blame is on Big Show and Kane.

Did anyone really expect an excellent match with Roman and BIG SHOW. Are you kidding me??

And my lord, it's the way the matches are booked. He can do more moves, but they have a hard on for Roman selling and then doing his routine. It's beyond stupid, but blame the bookers for such stupidity.

And plus, why is Roman always having matches with slow big guys like Kane and Big Show who he can barely do any moves on and they can't sell half his shit. Roman should be having matches with guys like Cesaro, Harper or anyone he can have a quicker paced match with.

Roman is athletic, agile and pretty quick for his size??? Let's put him with the slowest fuckers on the roster :lol Tell me that doesn't sound ridiculous.

I'd fucking love to know the plan of action for when Roman has to battle Paul Heyman on the mic, or when he has to keep the attention of a crowd for 10+ minutes when he's opening shows on his own with a promo, and worst of all: dealing with the post-WM crowd who are going to rip him a new asshole.

What will the excuses be :lmao? He's gonna get better, right? :duck

Paul seems to like Roman. So I'm sure he would be backstage with him and going over material and tips. Heyman has always been about accentuating the good and hiding the bad. He would make Roman look good because that's what Paul does. Shit, he might be able to get WWE to ease up on the scripted stuff for the feud.

I don't know why they don't just have Roman cut long promos on house shows. Just do how they did Seth. Throw his ass out there until he figures it out. They're so protective over Roman to the point they won't let that boy breathe.

And again, why is ROMAN VS BIG SHOW on my damn screen -____-

I don't disagree that it was mostly Big Show's fault that the match had no reaction or steam to it, but Reigns still got a horrendous response for his entrance, and never at any point received a main event quality reaction from the crowd.

And again, here's why WWE booking is so terrible: You have Reigns punch him over a table for a countout all so you can save Reigns finally pinning him for a PPV??? As if ANYONE is going to give half a fucking shit about Reigns vs. Show on PPV. They didn't care about it on RAW, they certainly won't on PPV.

You've had Ziggler/Harper, Cena/Rollins, Show/Reigns, all on live TV when they're supposedly PPV matches for you. Such idiocy.
