At one point, I was literally the ONLY person cheering for Roman in the stadium. Like the only one. But I never wavered once!! There was a few people near me wearing Roman's shirt but they didn't cheer for him, it was like they were too scared to or something. Fuck that shit, I was a proud Roman fan tonight.

I hope he's ok and is on Raw tomorrow <3

Re: The Roman Reigns Discussion Thread

I'll be honest, I've never got the hate for Roman. Well, actually, I understood why people were upset to begin with when his initial monster push began. But lately? I don't get it anymore. The guy has been consistently good. I'm not going to deny his mic work needs improvement, but the guy has been putting on some absolute classic matches. His showdown with Strowman is quite easily the best feud of the year for me so far. I can't think of a bad match between those two guys, or a single moment that were met with silence. Such a captivating feud which really sold me on Roman even more.

Roman is one of those guys, that when he's good, he's really fucking good.

He's got a good look, he's cool as fuck when he's got an edge, he can work really good matches, he has his moments on the mic, terrific presence. Consider me a Roman fan from this year. As I've been thoroughly impressed with the guy. I'm intrigued to see how his feud vs Cena plays out, and I don't know how some can't be looking forward to that. Their promo was hot shit to start it off.

Re: The Roman Reigns Discussion Thread

I see that the Big Dog is a draw everywhere around the world. Even in a kind of hidden section where it's supposed to give posters a place to chat about their favorites, he doesn't fail to attract the same old dudes who keep telling themselves his existence is irrelevant to their daily routine.

That Big Dawg star power:reigns






Also,

"I busted it actually; Big Dog" :done

Fucking idiots

Stupid lame finish, funnily enough Roman actually had his feet hit 1st which is what I thought they were going for before they said Brock won

Now Reigns will moan about conspiracies & make more excuses

Just fuck off with this shit, if they got this win out the way 3 years ago we wouldn't be in such shit

Literally Brock is gonna break Punks record when it's a different belt, petty fucking idiots honestly

Never do the match again & just get the belt off Brock, I'm fucking done man

I wish WWE would make up their minds as well. If Reigns is your FOTC, go all in. I can't stand this half hearted push anymore, always chickening out at the last minute.

I honestly don't know where Reigns goes after this, if not a heel turn. He's over 6 feet, former football player and a Grand slam champion but was tossed around like a rag doll last night. He should be dominant, not some underdog. It is ridiculous and after last night, a lot of fans are just over it. Reigns will never be everyone's favorite but at least book him properly. Personally, I've come to accept that Vince uses Roman as his "Fuck You" toy to the fans and it's not fair to us or the performer himself.

loving your new signature....

I just cannot believe I sat through the whole PPV to see that crap. Reigns should have had a chance to look way more dominant than that. now we have a phoney cheating part timer holding the championship hostage for another year.
basically the Universal Championship is turning into a joke. it is the brass ring that Vince talks about... so many people wanting to grab it but not getting there. they have built Lesner up so much now that it is not believable for anyone to beat him.

ugh, Roman deserved so much better. I say it once I will say it again. Bring on the heal turn.

I think most of you all have very much said everything there is to be said.

I haven’t seen a talent who is positioned as FOTC who they have continuously screwed over more than Reigns. It is mind-blowing the lack of commitment they show when it comes to him yet they are constantly positioning him as the top guy but then get into this hot/cold - push/depush game that ultimately helps no one.

If you want him as the FOTC then actually commit to that and present/book him as such, if not then pretty please with sugar on top give the spot to someone else and actually do something sensible with Reigns.

As a fan I don't need Reigns to be the top guy and FOTC in order to remain a fan, I would still be a fan if he weren't in that position. Would I like and enjoy him being in that spot? Absolutely but not if it comes with the sort of nonsense we got last night. That is just deflating and as I said ultimately helps no one. That match from start to finish was just abysmal and not just because Reigns lost, the booking before the finish was wrong in very much every way.

Oh well, I guess we'll see whatever direction he goes tonight if he is actually on the show. I will be watching with absolutely zero expectations tonight.

He'll spear the true FOTC Nicholas and become the biggest heel of all time. Anything less will be unacceptable.

People are actually saying Rollins and Ambrose are mad about this irl? The lengths people will go to try to make Roman look like the devil himself :bosque

Why would Ambrose turn heel when there is no big 4 ppv on the horizon for such a big match to happen? Why would Ambrose turn heel when he has just returned and everyone just wants to cheer him for a bit? Why wouldn't they do a Shield run when all of the members are on the same brand, aligned the same position and the faction makes them a ton of money?

How is this bad for Rollins and Ambrose? Is solely feuding with Ziggler and McIntyre a better gig than this? Is stuck in the midcard better than being in main events?

These are some questions I'd like answered.

Roman/Shield fans - my advice would be to just enjoy the run. Gonna be a lot of people trying to put you down and make you feel guilty for enjoying it. Ignore them. Just do you and enjoy what you want to enjoy.

Oh, for sure I am loving it and am quite a happy Reigns fan right now. Also enjoying the meltdown shown by many.

They want to boo him on RAW/PPVs? Good, make noise!

Doesn't bothers me in the least. The party continues.

The topic that was made about Roman being the #1 merch seller is so annoying :lol Apparently they think all Roman fans think exactly the same and are a hivemind. More like a lot of his haters are like a hivemind tbh.

But it's very cool to see Roman sells so much merch. I gotta say, I contributed to that, cos I own 10 shirts of his :D

Re: The Roman Reigns Discussion Thread

Ace, you do realise there's rules for this part of the forum that say no baiting right? You calling Roman Poochie constantly could seriously be seen as baiting Roman fans.

You know what they say, if the shoe fits? :draper2

And where am I wrong about it, you can very easily compare the two. There wouldn't be a fuck ton of memes on the internet if there was no comparison.

LOL this is basically me. I just said in the Seth thread that my fangirl heart is dancing right now :lol


BTW loved Denver's reaction to Roman tonight. Lovely to see a crowd supporting him for a change.

I'm so tempted to actually stay up/go sleep early to wake up early & watch RAW live for the 1st time in years, just so I can hear Sierra Hotel Echo India Lima Delta live, I will mark out like a little bitch as they come through the crowd :mark

Such draws :reigns2

edit - it's SHIELD, not SHEILD, I'm blaming it on being late here & my brain has already shut down for the day fpalm

Full promo from tonight...



Click Above to Play ⇧


This was just amazing and it is EXACTLY the tone this feud needed to take. Reigns did a great job delivering his promo and you can feel that it is actually something that comes from a real place as opposed to just the usual scripted promos. There is a legit resentment towards Lesnar which quite frankly I believe is warranted and I have no doubt that Reigns referring to the rest of the locker room as having the same sentiment is also very real.

For how little he shows up Lesnar hardly even makes an effort in his matches or segments and it is always the same Heyman longwinded promo and him just jumping around silent and his matches are always very short with little effort.

Get out of here with that noise. I hope they continue to have Reigns shoot hard on him and come the Mania match I also hope Reigns stiff the hell out of him. I don't care if the match even ends up being cancelled because it devolves into a real fight.

I have no illusions that he would beat Lesnar in a fight but I want Reigns to stiff the hell out of him and spear him back to UFC if that's where he wants to go.

I find it so stupid people are embarrassed to cheer for Roman, they feel like they have to make excuses to support him. Like, who the fuck cares? If you like him, don't hide it! fpalm
 
#1,101 ·
Yeah, I've never got that. Like who you want to like in my opinion, who cares what people think.

It's like those that refuse to admit Roman sometimes does some good work. Because that goes against the hate train. I wouldn't say I'm a "fan" of Roman, his booking really ruins him for me but I do occasionally come in here to appreciate the work he does. When he's on top form, he can be very good. I enjoyed him a ton when he was feuding with Braun. He's also steadily been improving on the mic, and producing some pretty good stuff lately.
