Re: Reigns is going to have a tough time dealing with this crowd.

I'd say the easiest thing to do right now would be a heel turn but his mic skills aren't even close to being good enough to keep up with it and that would make Lesnar/Heyman the face. fpalm

He'll come out as a face to a shower of boo's and Michael Cole will say "the fans here are still upset that Bryan was eliminated last night".

Well, that's true isn't it? It's because Daniel Bryan didn't win specifically.

You try and tell me that if Dolph Ziggler or Dean Ambrose won the Rumble last night that they'd get cheered. Rey Mysterio was even booed last year, that should tell you something.

re: ROMAN REIGNS Road To Wrestlemania

But doesn't Vince want Reigns to be the next Cena? So turning him heel isn't going to work if he wants that because then you turn a guy that's leaving face and then who's going to be the face that goes against Reigns?
Cena's heel work paved a way for a great face turn. Same with Rock and Austin. Hell, wasn't Hogan even heel before his nwo work? (i may be wrong about that lol)

Roman still needs a lot of work and finding his self as a heel and outside the pressure of being the face of WWE before he's ready, would do him a world of good.

Vince tried to hot shot and it damaged Roman. Vince didn't protect him where it matters most. Instead of trying to trick the crowd into cheering Roman, they should have never let him win. You don't throw your guy into the wolves and sharks like that. What the fuck is wrong with the old man :no:

Hopefully Rock at least talked to Vince. Rocky knows all too well being in the spot of being pushed too fast, in the wrong way and getting backlash for it. Yeah, he didn't get the whc belt and just the IC. But fans didn't even think he deserved even that. Granted the IC was much more prestigious back then, but still. Majority felt he was undeserving and Vince still tried to push.

Over 2 decades later and Vince still has to learn the hard way. It's amazing.

re: ROMAN REIGNS Road To Wrestlemania

I actually feel bad for Reigns - you know, the person. Yeah making good money & being put as the man in the WWE is hardly something to "feel bad" about, but you know what I mean. It's the nature of the beast but I still can't help but get annoyed with how WWE handles it's employees, they do such a terrible job of showcasing strengths & hiding weaknesses that it's hard not to cringe & some of the stuff they actually try to pass off & present. If this was 30 years ago they would be getting guys jumped outside of arenas for some of this crap. :lol

Its gunna be interesting to see if WWE can figure out a way to get/keep the crowd on Reigns' side. They did a horrible job of it last night imo, taking bryan out early killed the crowd and trying to use the Rock as a shield was patronizing and ineffective.

re: ROMAN REIGNS Road To Wrestlemania

I have no problem with them turning Reigns heel. It's not like they are hurting in the face department. Cena, Bryan, Ziggler, and if done right you can make Ryback that monster face to take Reigns place.

In this situation who would be cross to turn face Lesner or Rollins. If creative does it right, you can still have the family thing with the Rock as heels but add the Uso's as a stable. I remember somewhere Heyman say he enjoys the Uso's work anyways and can keep Heyman on TV.

So it's can be done but let see if WWE do it right or munk it up. We'll see.

re: ROMAN REIGNS Road To Wrestlemania

Cause you think WWE is going to make some real money with Daniel Bryan? Dolph the badass Billy Gunn wannabe ? Ambrose who has been buried since months?

They gave the win to a fresh young guy and i think that's fucking great cause i never 1° He was my choice with Orton ( who wasn't here ) and 2° i never wanted to see another boyhood dream David vd Goliath match with Bryan and Lesnar, you better deal with it or doing something else with your life than watching a Wrestling show

Dude it's not just Bryan. They made every fan-favorite in the match look like a joke and an afterthought. Wyatt, Ambrose and Ziggler got eliminated by two old hasbeens that nobody gives a fuck about and the way they made Bryan (the most over guy on the roster by far) look like a jobber with the way he got eliminated is just bullshit. Ziggler entered at #30 and he got eliminated in less than 3 minutes.

re: ROMAN REIGNS Road To Wrestlemania

It wasn't so much that Reigns won, but the way he won. Basically Rock came down and won it for him, way to make him look like a bitch. Furthermore the way every face not named Reigns were made to look super weak, made this whole match look like a big middle finger to fans.

Two years in a row with a colossal fuck up like this is not an accident. Vince and his minions really just don't get it. I unsubbed last night and will remain so unless something changes.

Tonight's RAW from HQ is likely going to try and make that shit sandwich they delivered last night look like chicken salad.

Why Do You Dislike Roman Reigns?

Personally I feel like he has potential but the reason is because he's pushed to the moon so soon even in the later days of the shield they made reigns look like a god compared to the other two when in reality he needed them. I do feel I'll like reigns eventually that's if he improves but as of now? Not a fan.

I'm gonna give him a chance.

A big factor for the hate is because the push is far too soon. The fact that he hasn't held any singles titles and is straight into the WWE title match at WM just makes some people sick. Think of some of the talent that has held the US and IC titles yet were never world champion. I think it just pisses people off that he is being handed this opportunity at this stage of his career. It's all on Roman now, he has two months to prove everyone wrong.

Funny how this is the main reason for most people, but what about Shaemus when he first came out? where was everyone back then? Why wasn't anyone talking?
