Coach basically told fans on Twitter to shut up and like Roman Reigns dammit

[Sonny Corinthos]

Only thing Roman needs is new moves, that Superman punch-Spear shyt is the woat, none of that shyt feels like it has any impact anymore.

Once his move set changes fans will atleast give him the Cena heat. I swear I haven’t heard any cheers for Roman in a minute

What do y'all expect Roman to do, turn down the opportunity to main event? Y'all think he should go to Vince and say "You know what Vince, I don't want the main event. I don't want the big payday, let someone else have it"? Hulk didn't do that, HBK didn't, Brock sure as fukk didn't.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

He's alright imo, last "new" star I gave a fukk about was Daniel Bryan and he's long done.


When it comes to Reigns I feel some of criticism is warranted, but I do feel a large portion of "haters" are bandwagoning others cause it's the current in thing.

There’s nothing interesting about him and he’s pushed so heavily despite there being nothing to him. The crowd doesn’t want a guy presented as the top face while being a cardboard cutout. That’s the same problem Cena had. As soon as they sent him to raw, they stripped away everything that got him over in the first place and pushed him in a manner that is insulting to the crowd, always stacking the odds against him and so heavy handedly demanding the crowd to love the guy while basically saying anyone who boos him is just a jackass who wants to derail the show and make it about himself. That sort of shyt insults us as paying customers. At no point in the last 25 years has this type of push worked for any wrestler in any promotion. If they’re so bent on pushing him, actually give him depth and make him interesting.

Great post

I don't blame Roman, I blame Vince and co.

Roman taking his chances and rolling with it. Is he an elite main eventer to me? nope. But I wouldn't turn down any opportunity given to me if I were in his situation.

I could have sworn that people are allowed to "like" or "dislike" whatever they choose.

If Roman was white, 5’7, wrestled in Japan & the indies, wore kick pad boots n did suicide dives n flips he’d be cheered.

So if he wasn't anything like he is now? Great point breh

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Coach and Roman pulling the Tyrese"What more do you want from meeeeee.." LOL

He'd still be cheered as he was, look at Stroman. Point is, when Management gave Hulk Boots to Reigns, it basically killed any chance of making him beloved. Because Management said 'fukk You' to the more vocal fans when Bryan was more over, pushed Reigns, and left Bryan in the IC spot.

It was the correct thing to do, but it was also the worst thing they could do. 'Boo Roman' is now the thing to do, because everyone sees the product as downhill.

If he still would be bland and have weak mic skills it wouldn't matter anyway.

The most over dude on the roster is also the biggest so that size shyt isn't even a valid argument at this point.

I just don't like Roman's moveset. Other than that, I have no issues with him. How they booked him in the EC was silly though. But yeah, a spear and a punch should not be finishers in 2018. The spear should barely be a move since most people don't even get that good velocity on it to make it look right.

 

[Drizzy Dre]

I used to hate on Reigns but he’s improved significantly. Gonna ride with Coach on this one.
