Here on TSC, I trust that most of us are knowledgeable about wrestling and would only diss Roman for his perceived lack of in ring or mic skills.

However on Twitter and non-Hip Hop wrestling forums, I can't help but feel like some of the hate is :mjpls: status. Maybe I'm off base on this but besides Dwayne, I can't think of another non-white wrestler that's gotten a super push like this.

Am I overthinking this or is part of the Roman hate due to :mjpls:?

Edit: Yes I know Reigns is half white but I don't think most people know that.

It's borderline trendy. People are still bringing up his sufferin' succotash promo from a year ago. A lot of the points used to criticize Reigns are no longer true. Especially the idea that he's a bad wrestler or he can't work.

The main reason for the backlash is the same reason why Cena gets so much hate. He's always "overcoming the odds" and rarely loses.
