It's just annoying now because he isn't doing anything to deserve that heat . It's just comical now

Yall are going to have to get over it breh.
Doesn't matter how unfair it is.
He is never going to be fully embraced as a face after the RTWM.

Tell the smark crowd to fukk off for booing him since they still mad he won the rumble


They can't fukk off and it's easy to understand why. There are a couple of reasons this is going on. CM Punk aka the Rebel did that podcast and singled out Ryback and Reigns..has hate for Ryback but the way he spoke of Reigns was like the company wants him to look fantastic no matter what..that's where all of those keep "Reigns looking strong" comments/sentiments came from.

The other huge problem was of course Bryan saying he was gonna be in the Rumble in that Dec promo and the crowd went nuts..he appears in Philly at #10 in the Rumble..tossed out like a jobber 5 mins later. The message was clear. "fukk YOU, fans. We do what we want..just like we always did when it came to Triple H and Cena" Crystal clear message that Bryan wasn't good enough, his rehab didn't mean $hit, and we want our pretty boy on a easy path to clear success. Roman wasn't good enough, over enough, and was clearly favored over Bryan. Fans never forgot that.

Then they got crazier and had him beat Bryan clean after kicking out of all of his finishers. Had Bryan come out the next night putting him over in a cute way and gets both of them booed out. That's called BEING OUT OF TOUCH and Roman was gonna free fall from that point. Easy to see. Don't be fooled by the female cheers...Lana is even more respected than he is. He's in trouble...he's been in big trouble all year..and it all goes back to the lack of respect the company has for Bryan's true worth.

They only have themselves to blame.

The worst thing the WWE can do is pander to smarks because they'll never be happy. If Roman turned heel, they'll just bytch more.
Real shyt..Barrett was the hero to these clown ass neckbeard smarks and now...:patrice:

Or maybe they just dont like Roman Reigns?


They dont HAVE to cheer him you know. Improvement or not if they dont buy into his character then give him one they fukk with. Simple.
Yes they do. The sooner they realize they don't have a choice in the matter, the quicker we can all move on :shaq2:

Turning him won't do anything. It's a myth that turning a wrestler heel to appease fans who don't like him, can turn things around. That only works when it's just the face gimmick is crap so the crowd hates it (like what happened with The New Day). When they actually dislike the wrestler, they're not going to change that. Look at how Baron Corbin still gets booed in NXT even after turning him heel. Dude doesn't get heel heat, he gets 'You can't wrestle!' heat.

I suppose Austin is just totally clueless on the matter.
:heh:

Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated the Wyatt Family in a match where the live crowd treated the two fan favorites very differently. Ambrose is beloved by the Brooklyn audience, but Reigns was booed heavily during all of his high spots. Austin knows the only fix for Reigns.

“That’s the Brooklyn crowd,” said Austin. “They’re pretty hardcore, they’ve seen a lot. They booed him pretty good during the match. But the finish caught me the wrong way. Ambrose hit ‘Dirty Deeds,’ and then tags in Roman to finish off Bray Wyatt with the spear. So ‘Dirty Deeds’ wasn’t good enough because they wanted Roman to go over, but they wanted Dean to get his s--- in, too.”

Reigns also disappeared outside the ring for a portion of the match, which the crowd immediately criticized him for during the action.

“Reigns will eventually be a superstar who is going to draw you some money, but it’s clear he has to undergo a strong, organic heel turn,” explained Austin. “It’s damn near a mirror image of what The Rock did back in the day. He needs to walk through the fire, get burned, have the [WWE] Universe hate him, and then they’ll eventually end up loving him forever more.

“He’s got a great look. And, when he was with the Shield, doing one-third of the work, he’d come in with power moves and pop the crowd. All of a sudden, he became the favorite and heir apparent. The problem is, when they broke up the Shield, he got exposed.

He doesn’t have enough tools right now in his tool box to straighten together a match, with some different bump sets and working a body part. I think he needs to do a little bit of homework and add some more offensive moves. Daniel Bryan carried him to a hell of a match at Fastlane and he’s been in a handful of really good matches with people that can carry him. I like the guy, I really do, and I think he’s going to be a big star one of these days. But here’s the thing–nothing is guaranteed in this business.”



Fact is, almost every big name superstar started off as a heel. It's tried and true.
He's peaked as a face.
Resistance to that fact because one is bullheaded or they want to stick it to the smarks is fine so long as they're okay with Roman's ceiling being Sheamus.
I personally think he could be a lot more.
