Re: Why Do You Dislike Roman Reigns?

Reigns is so fucking bad that Philly crowd would have loved even Sandow to win it. They came alive a little even for a guy who's been a comedy act for over a year. Him, Ambrose, Ziggler, even Bray...they would have went home happy with that. Once the last of them were gone, that crowd went right back to not giving a shit.

When every other face has to look like shit to make your chosen guy look good, you clearly made the wrong choice. So glad Vince "put his foot down" though. He knew it was so bad he had The Rock on speed dial and was already giving the Network away for free next month. It is now officially so bad it's funny.

:ha

Re: Why Do You Dislike Roman Reigns?

I don't like him, but I can't entirely blame him. He is just not ready for the big one, but he maybe could it be with some years of preparation. Is that "WWE logic" of pushing to the moon guys without make them conect with the crowd and the audience, and you can see that with all the Royal Rumble winners, being Edge the last worthy one. All the ones who follow him just we're bad choices, and most important, choiches by the WWE, even when the crowd show they don't want them.

Re: Why Do You Dislike Roman Reigns?

I don't dislike RR, I dislike the fact he is being pushed to be "The Guy" when he shouldn't be just cause he has "The Look".

At first I wasn't a fan of the shield, then Ambrose grew on me, and I guess RR and Rollins did to. I was never really hot on Rollins until the triple threat, he pulled that match off excellently. Him and Lesnar worked well, I guess Cena was decent but I am sick of him so I'm going to be bias towards him.

Now out of the three shield members I'm favouring Rollins over Ambrose, with RR coming in last. Yes he looks great but lets be honest he is not great in the ring, especially when you compare him to all his family members.

He is very one dimensional, and is not a great mover.

Yes he can and should be a big star, but he shouldn't be getting pushed like this. It wont do him any favours, it seems like Rock is on vince to push him and vince is thinking he looks great and his family history is rich in wrestling tradition.

I don't buy, and I wont.

Re: Why Do You Dislike Roman Reigns?

A) He can't work. He only knows 3 moves and he's gonna be the guy to work 20 minutes matches?

B) He can't talk. Unless they book him to be tall, dark, and mysterious then him talking is going to do him no favors. Guy is embarrassing on microphone. I dread the 20 minute opening promos with him flubbing his lines.

C) No proven track record. What has he proven that he's capable of such a push? What great feuds has he had? What great matches has he had? NONE.

If he was given a year or two to learn how to work and talk and be great ORGANICALLY then I would have no problem with him main eventing a Wrestlemania. But this feels rushed, forced, and laughable at best.

Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

I'm not gonna defend WWE for their booking at the Rumble. Having Bryan eliminated early, having Big Show and Kane in the final 3, and having the majority of the top faces made to look like pushovers was just dumb. It's obvious that Reigns was disliked by the Philly crowd, but do you think it's gotten to the point where the fans have gone a little too far? If anything that made me glad Reigns won the way he did, and you can disagree with me all you want, but please don't be rude about it if you choose to respond.

Re: Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

Nope.

Roman Reigns: [Laughs] Yeah, I think its hard not to pay attention these days with all of the social media networks and all of the different outlets. It’s so easy to connect with fans nowadays. You know, I have a Twitter and things like that. I’m not a crazy Twitter guy to where I’m tweeting out stuff every day and rarely even once a week, do I tweet. But I mean, occasionally, I read some stuff.

The funny part is, you have a guy like me who is kind of getting like a mixed vibe from time-to-time. I get a lot of love and then you’ll get the hate in the middle of it but its just funny, the perspectives you know, the differences between the love and the hate. As far as the hate, it makes me laugh. Everybody is a critic. Every critic I’ve ever had, they weren’t wrestlers [laughs]. Every wrestler I’ve ever had critique me, they were always into my stuff or what I’m doing out there. For a non-wrestler, someone who doesn’t even know how to lock up, and if we did lock up, they wouldn’t know what to do, for them to critique any of us, it really does pop me.

Roman Reigns: That’s what haters do. They hate because they hate their lives.

Re: Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

So what? You want him to bend over and take it? I loved that he stood up for himself, and are you really gonna disagree? A lot of these are the same people who boo'd Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero during their title reign.

Re: Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

After watching last night's RAW i feel a little sorry for the guy. Reigns even said he would of liked a warmer response and i don't blame him. The crowd shit on him since he made his entrance.. It's not his fault WWE handpicked him to be the next big star, but booing and cheering is part of the business so you can't feel too sorry for him... He's a professional, he needs to learn to deal with it if he's going to be a huge star.

Re: Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

Hell yeah I do. He's basically been thrown to the wolves by his bosses. His earlier comments don't bother me that much, because he seems to be the type that takes criticism as a personal attack against himself. There's nothing wrong with that, Rock always came off as that type too, but he was able to use that to his benefit.

Re: Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

Yes I do feel bad, but at the same time I feel someone else should have got the win, it's a shit situation, thanks to wwe. But there's no way he could've said no to them, that could possible be a career suicide, you don't get chances again and again, I'm surprised people actually expect him to say that, just kick away your dream? Really?

If he had talent, it would not affect him in the long term, especially since Vince has a hard one for his looks.

And the Rocks backing.

Re: Do you feel even just a tad bit sorry for Roman Reigns?

I mean as others have said, I do not feel sorry for him. He has a good career that he will make millions off of. He is doing perfectly fine.

I do think that the criticism against him is unwarranted. We still have not seen what he can do but this is largely the WWE's fault. You all are hating Reigns for his push when you should hate the WWE. Roman Reigns has done nothing wrong. He did not make the call for himself to win the Royal Rumble.

To all those who say he should say he is not ready for this push, then you are just pathetic. This is his job. Nothing more. Nothing less. There is no reason for him to deny a promotion. For some reason, to us hardcore fans, wrestling needs to be the sole concern of the wrestlers. Not everyone needs to be a Daniel Bryan where the business is their life.

Besides that, Reigns is perfectly fine in the ring and on the mic. You all just wait and see.

I would suggest you look up the peter principle (though he has shown no such skills)- and while you are at it, ethics and integrity.

Personally, I like people who are moral, and not just thinking about themselves. Damn strange concept it seems.
