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.

He got picked to the be guy because of look, plain and simple. Vince took one look at him (probably when he was still in NXT) and said "That guy, that is my next John Cena, my next main face for the company. He's tanned, muscular, has tats and is around 6-2/6-3, perfect."

3 years later and he's a 3 time WWE champ, RR winner, RR record breaker, SS record breaker, main evented 2 straight Mania's, never lost a singles match clean, gone over most of the roster time and time again and is still on target to be the next main man.... despite how much he gets booed and his hated by many.

All because of how a guy looks, pretty pathetic. I expect in the film industry or model business or something, but pro wrestling? GTFO.

Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Bruno, Ric Flair and many more, none had the ideal look but are all time greats, how far wrestling has fallen.

So true

I LOVE wrestling (the games, the merch, the shows, etc) but I still can't get to the point where some people obsess over it.

What do they REALLY want? :jbhmm:

A super stable with AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and the rest of the Bullet Club with AJ and Finn as dual champions, with KO, Rollins, Ambrose, Cesaro, Zayn, Samoa Joe, Aries, Hideo, Shinsuke, and all hovering around the title at all times while putting on 5 star 30 minute false finish matches where the guy they want to choose that night always wins in an incredibly dramatic fashion? :dahell: :mjlol:

actually that does sound piff :banderas:

Back to the point...I'll take a Heel/face/tweener RR over a Heel Sheamus as champ which was reality a few months ago :merchant:

Not many would complain if something similar happened, add another 20 talented guys and have shocks and surprises galore and you've got a great show :manny:

:heh: How the fukk was that crowd awful? It's great that they chant what they want and voice their opinion out load, much better than a half assed crowd who just cheer the faces, boo the heels and sit on their hands chanting fukk all. Wish every crowd was like that :ahh:

I like both. fans that know when to chant and when to shut up. Sometimes i wanna hear a promo. I remember that WHAT chant got on my nerves.

He's doing that on smackdown tonight

On the faces side?

The dark match for next weeks Raw is a tag match with Roman on the faces side, so he's still a face not a heel like some clueless people thought in here :heh:

I like Reigns this way. Didn't have any problems with him like most people in the first place though. But if he stays on this, f you, cocky vibe. Either you love me or hate me attitude. Says less and kicks ass. Hes gonna get a turnaround in due time.

I typed in "Reigns cocky" in Twitter and got a lot of people tweeting the same.

He dont even need to be a heel.

Problem is, as a straight male, it's hard to get behind someone who is cocky, arrogant, thinks he's the best, knows he's good looking and clearly shows it off and judging by his facial expressions, is incredibly full of himself and up his own ass.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way :yeshrug:

Spear Sami Zayn and/or AJ Styles at the end of the segment instead of one of the company's top heels. Pretty simple.
No it's not because then you would have certain fans cheering him for finally "turning heel"

Thats not a problem. Thats the point.

Lets not sit up here and act like most of those qualities you just listed wasn't showcased by your Austins, Cenas, Rocks etc on their rise.

Austin was cocky but not in a "I'm so hot and all the women want me, I jerk off over myself in the mirror" kind of way :what:

Cena is bit full of himself, but I don't blame him, he literally has everything, and 14 years into his WWE career I should hope he is tbh :yeshrug:

And Rock, well he's just so damn charismatic and entertaining he can do what he likes :lolbron:
