– Triple H spoke with Sports Illustrated for a new interview. The highlights are below:

On fan reaction to Roman Reigns: “People can look at Roman Reigns and say, ‘The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,’ but Roman Reigns sells tickets,” said Levesque. “Roman Reigns gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, ‘I don’t understand why they don’t turn Roman Reigns heel!’ Isn’t he already? If you believe what you believe, and you’re saying, ‘How can they not turn him heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!’ If that’s your belief, then isn’t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he’s a heel. We’re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.”

...Gotta hand it to them. They're taking that definition of insanity to places I'm sure nobody thought it would go.

 

[Superkick Party]

Reigns is not a draw this has been proven when Dean was outdrawing him at house shows as IC champ

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

So the same backward justification they've been doing for Cena for 12 years

 

[NYChase718]

Giving you a diff way of presenting a heel

Jesus fukkingg christ

Wow

So the same backward justification they've been doing for Cena for 12 years

Cena is way more legit with bringing in money than Roman.

Dean wasn't outdrawing him. They were about even. Which, outside of Cena headlining house shows, both the A and B shows do the same numbers before and after the brand split 2.0. Cena and AJ for a brief period are the only guys to move house show numbers. Even Brock doesn't help numbers at house shows.

However, Roman sells a lot more merch than Dean, despite Dean actually having more merch for sale than Roman. Merch numbers are a lot more important today than house numbers, and the top three merch movers are New Day, Cena, Roman, with Dean somewhere in the top 10 but well below anything Roman is moving.

Cena isn't a legit draw or they wouldn't have ran to Goldberg, Lesnar, Mayweather, Trump, and 3 yrs of Rock . And before that Taker was headlining with Edge and wack shyt like Blandy and Cripple H...lol

Cena sells merchandise and thats about it.

Ambrose definitely was out drawing him for awhile...lol

Cena sells alot of merch and does good house show numbers he doesn't have to be on the level of the guys you mentioned to be a draw. Roman isn't near any of those guys level to get the justification HHH gives.

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

For what it's worth, at the house show I went to last night they had Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Aj Styles, and John Cena. Everybody got a good reception but when John Cena came out the crowd erupted into a madness unlike what it was for any of the other guys.

Of course he sells alot..look at the foundation of the WWE and his push. How can u not see the deck favored for this guy for over 10 yrs now? He's not legitimate..fans rejected Cena at so many intervals that I've lost count.

 

[Silkk]

I agree with him on the heel part, I been saying that for a while now.

I guess if he came out to indifference they'd end the "Roman experiment" but we know that's not going to happen.

Keep trying to out boo Philly WWE marks.
