Someone explain to me, Roman reigns related

[seemorecizzy]

You actually think the booing has anything to do with Bryan?

And Ziggler? Don't think there's a single Ziggler stan on this forum

not gonna act like i follow like i follow like i did back in the day
but i do recall them cheering him up until he won the royal rumble that i think the fans wanted bryan to win
why are they booing him?
cause i could of sworn he was being cheered at first

Still using the Shield theme, attire and whole gimmick, needs to get away from that, Rollins and Ambrose did.
Being pushed way too fast, 3 time champion, back-to-back Mania main events, NEVER lost a singles match clean, goes over whole roster etc, hand picked by Vince from day 1.
Not very good on the mic, solid at best in the ring, lacks a whole lot of charisma/personality and energy when out there. His title runs have also been boring so far, had them for about 50 days in total so far and they've been underwhelming, not been a good champion for the company imo.
Needs a heel turn badly but Vince refuses despite a dozen hall of famers saying he should.

Just my reasons

Explain brehs who like racist ass wrestling don't ask me how.

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

A heel turn sets him up lovely IMO. I don't watch regularly, but I do think Rollins returns as a face (discarded by the Authority, etc)....Reigns "sells out" and becomes Triple Hs guy.

 

[richaveli83]

I kinda of feel sorry for Reigns. He was way over in the Shield and after initially when the Shield broke up. The fans on him because they wanted Daniel Bryan but he's taking the heat for it. It's not like Reigns used backstage clout to get what he wants.

 

[luckyse7enz]

I still don't even understand why fans are booing him
I recall him being over for a while until the Daniel Bryan nut huggers were crying for him to take Romans spot When he came back from injury

Bryan is gone for good now what's ths issue
Who would they realistically rather be world champion instead of reigns? Dolph Ziegler

This is the question that never gets answered. Didn't hear a single "We Want Ambrose" Monday night or "Ke-vin Owens"...

When the people wanted D-Bry in the title picture, they chanted his name.
When they want Sasha, they chant her name.
When they want Cena, they chant his name.
When they wanted Bayley, they sang for her.

 

[Vinny Lupton]

They hate Reigns because he's good looking, tall and most importantly because he's not white and "ethnic"

This holds no weight. Dwayne Johnson is taller, better or equally as good looking (no homo), definitely in better shape (no girdle) and isn't a half cac like Reigns, and Dwayne is universally loved

 

[Osmosis]

Smarks are gonna eat off Reigns' title matches against guys like AJ, Cesaro, Zayn, Cena, Ambrose, Rollins, Lesnar but are too dumb to realize it

 

[Rayzah]

There is no middle ground, they're either the best (NYC,ECW,Chicago) or the worst (last night or the IWC). What they did to Charlotte last night was fukked up. She is quickly becoming one of the better heels on the roster but she's still learning, but these are the same virgins that cry give divas chance

She is supposed to feed off whatever type of reaction she got, these new group of wrestlers are soft.. Why are you letting the crowd rattle you? what you expect them to behave and respond the way you tell them to? WWE NEEDS this type of audience it forces them to put on good shows, it stops them from being so stubborn about who THEY want on top.. these crowds make the show feel like a live sporting event

Unfortunately this...

They loved him in the shield and then when he got the rub everyone turned on him and now it's the "cool" thing to do to boo him (just like it's the cool thing to cheer for Kevin Owens)

the unfortunate thing about a scripted/live/athletic show is that everyone thinks they "know" what/who should be next. The fact that Jericho was "trying" to be a heel and called the crowd idiots and then they chant "we are idiots" was

They should somehow pair RR with the authority on some "I told you so shyt" and get rid of the ass-kicker theme and just embrace that he is "The Chosen Champ" (a play off of The Rock's "The People's Champ") and just let him cook with that for a while. Show him on TV doing appearances, and really play up the whole "face of the company" and A+ player, his size etc. Have him run through all of the smaller fan favorite guys for a while and get him some real heat. I could see his smug face looking at the crowd and eating the boos after getting out-wrestled and hitting a running superman punch and spear and pushing his forearm into the face of Cesaro, AJ, KO, Zayn, Corbin, Aries, Ambrose, Rollins etc. during a pin.

Reigns shouldn't get cheered just cause Vince tells you to, this isn't the cartoon steroid 80 and 90's, the crowd wants good wrestlers, they want believable characters they want interesting characters that has more to say than "If you want some come get some or believe that, that is boring.

You are right about one thing, Reigns needs to play off the whole "chosen one" thing whether its true or not. It wasn't believable for Seth, and when that's exactly what it looks like happened to reigns why not use that to build his character around. Why cant the gimmicks be based on reality or perception.. The new day is over cause they are being themselves, kevin owens is cheered cause he has a catchy slogan and can wrestle.. What about Reigns makes you want to cheer him, "that look" doesn't cover up average in ring work, average to poor promos and a corny saying..

And when he beats AJ Styles the internet will be done with the company and cancel their network subscriptions and blah blah blah

This RR deal is just a preview of things to come with other guys who get a run that the "wrestling purists" doesnt feel deserve it

So are you saying RR to "wrestling purist" what Drake is to hip hop "purists or real fans"

Reigns like drake can be considered a "plant" that is being given everything he needs to succeed and is being protected by his family name.. Like we know his promos are written for him, he is considered and average in ring talent but being pushed like he is the rock while most think he needs to earn his stripes..

Whoever made that Brandon Roy comparison is way off. Roy's career ended before it got a chance to start. Daniel Bryan was considered the best wrestler in the world BEFORE he even got there. AFTER he got there, he became a tag, intercontinental, united states, world heavy weight, and two time WWE champion. He was the most over guy in the company for a solid 2 years, moved lots of merch, and touched tons of lives.

That's a FULL career, even though he didn't stay around as long as we would have liked. Roy is an awful comparison.

 

[Mikael Blowpiff]

I saw someone on some site say that he should take moves from takers moveset based in build/style etc. if you expand reigns moveset and keep him as a face that talks shyt to everyone whether face or heel, basically an American tanahashi, it might work.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

The only thing I can really agree on is that the crowd shouldn't have treated Charolette that way because it really did mess up what could have been the great promo that we've been looking for from her. Someone told me that she should have been able to do crowd control but she's still trying to assume this heel role so we should give her time. But at the same time, what possible reaction did people think the crowd would have in after a Mania like that when people clearly wanted Sasha to be the first Women's Champ in the new era of that belt.

Otherwise...fukk ROMAN REIGNS. See...what ya'll don't understand about this "smark" shyt is that the people want their stars to be organic and they want their runs to be EARNED. Roman Reigns hasn't earned shyt and you know it.

He's put on no 5 Star matches. He's spit no 5 Star promos. His ring work is bland and tepid. You know this....come on...

He's not a heel unless we're doing that dumb shyt that Cena is doing, trying to change what the definition of a "heel" is.

He's not a heel...he's just a dude that the crowd is not fukking with and doesn't want to see holding the strap

 

[:-)]

I don't even know. A year ago when Smackdown came to Houston our crowd went the f*ck nuts for Roman (I was there) and grown a** men were crying. Now I don't know I can't even give you a real answer. But a lot of those folks want all these indie darlings to hog the light. Whatever

But I'm enjoying this snotty Reigns right now. He gives no f*cks and I hope he comes out pulling a Batista -- suits n all! He did it in FCW he can pull it now.

No matter what Roman does, he's going to get booed. "Smarks" are still upset that he was picked to be "the guy" instead of D Bryan (who is wrestling's version of Brandon Roy). Some of them feel that he only got the main event opportunity because Bryan got injured, but that his not Roman's fault at all.
