Does Roman Reigns deserve the level of hate that he gets?

Obviously wishing murder and rape all that shyt is wrong; but if someone wants to hate on a wrestler then let them hate, it's their choice :yeshrug:

No.

I even think some of the crowd criticism is a bit dumb. Cringed at the "you can't wrestle" chants, he's been very good lately. His character booking sucks but appreciate his performances.

He knows some cool looking moves that make him look strong (hehe) but his selling is dreadful; like the Rollins match on Raw, Rollins hit him with a knee and Reigns just sort of stood there with a weird look not knowing WTF to do :mjlol: Happened a few times, he gets kicked in face and just stands there, doesn't know how to sell shyt :francis: I know a lot of the guys don't sell shyt anymore but it stands out more on him cause he's the main guy, just like Cena can't sell for shyt :stopitslime:

He doesn't, but his entire push is a slap in the face to both the paying customers and the locker room. It's a clear sign that getting over and actually being a draw doesn't matter to management as long as you look how they want you to, and to push him like his is to say that they think the crowds are morons. Fans don't like to be treated as if they're dumb, and they like being told who to cheer even less. After 11 years of this with John cena (still waiting on him to legit put someone over who would benefit from the rub), the audience has had their fill.

No wrestler should have to deal with death threats, or insults/threats amongst the family.

Anything within the realm of wrestling/kayfabe is fair game.

If they think you cant wrestle :yeshrug: or cut a promo :yeshrug: those insufferable what chants though :camby:

The biggest issue in the WWE is being tied to that script leash and the creative not wanting to adjust to the crowd perception of said wrestler. I get why (marketing/merch based on choosing them to be heel or babyface) but after a while you should adapt and take advantage of the crowd.

Nah it's nerds being nerds

:merchant: i typed that before reading op first.

These little fakkits saying this shyt to a brolic Samoan :mjlol: try anything with him you little virgins:russ:

He don't even hate the 'regular' hate he gets.

Like it or not most of these dudes got into it when Hogan was the man or Bret(not that Bret was a bad worker) just they were both made out to be heroes,and that's what the e are trying to go towards with the new young fan base.Get them young and ya got them forever.Look at most of us:francis:

No. His ring work is improving and I've never heard stories of him being a backstage politicking piece of shyt like prime HBK or Cripple H.

At the end of the night, Roman is making money for his daughter's college fund and enjoying life while 30 year old virgin neckbeards stan obscure vanilla midgets and jerk off to anime porn.

of course he don't deserve "N1gger" or his daughter being put in any of the mix but this all happened because Vince McMahon said "Daniel Bryan is a fluke and we got toss his little ass out in 5 minutes while having Roman come in 10 minutes later like he's the new Stone Cold and kicking everyone's ass" and EVER since they did that? Roman has been heckled and spat on by fans. It was out of touch and it messed up Roman's entire trajectory.

How is any of this Roman's fault? That's VINCE and TPTB. Your negativity is focused on the wrong person.

I don't even know why people hate on dude. Granted I don't like him ringwise because he's boring to me but blaming him because of the super push he's gotten when the blame should be on Vince, Triple H, etc. I haven't heard of him being a jerk backstage, refusing to job, etc. Notwithstanding his wellness policy violation he's been a good employee.
