What will it take to actually get a Heel real heat?

Roman man. Whether the boos are a blend of dislike within kayfabe, shoot because of booking or just straight x-pac heat, the shyt is molten. I do not think it will suddenly turn to cheers like people are thinking (it will only be those who enjoy being contrarians for the hell of being contrarians)

It's just different with this guy. He needs to spear anyone liked, heel or face, and just go 100 with it. It's all there now for the killing.

 

[Amor fati]

isn't Orton a face?

I think he's a tweener now.

The marks are at fault for that. Messing the game up.

They're idea of a face is either an underdog short stack like Daniel Bryan or a heel.

A Face is supposed to get cheered

A heel is supposed to get booed

That's why the whole idea of turning roman heel is hilariously stupid.

You want him to go heel so you can cheer him. What type of backward ass logic is that.

99% of wwe stories are good guy/bad guy stories. Turning a guy heel that gets booed is sheer common sense. Roman can't talk so I'm not sure as him turning heel will get cheers. Dean Ambrose, I can see. Heel Cena I can see. Roman promos? Naw

Thing with Roman is, he's the SAME guy he's been all along. He was the intense member of the Shield. He's the same character now, he doesnt lean towards either heel/face.

But the giant push really messed him up. People wanted Daniel Bryan and Vince gave them Roman.

They're kindasorta doing the exact opposite with Mustafa Ali's face push on 205... had him debut a little bit heelish and had him switch up on that "I assumed you'd hate me because brown and muslim, but you're so WELCOMING! I LOVE AMERICA!"

"thank you for not being racist and prejudice, i guess i'll be a good guy then"

it'd be pretty funny if faces/heels negotiate with the crowd in regards to their alignment

I know, that's what I'm saying. There are several reasons for him to be booed no matter what they book him to be. Just have to run with it, and build the stories around these reactions. Would make things more compelling, instead of all these stop/re-starts.

That's how you get early Kurt angle Heat, asking to be their hero

No it's not.

Heels are supposed to get booed. That's their job.

It makes no sense to turn reigns heel so another group(the marks) can cheer for him while the women & kids boo him.

All you're doing is flipping the roles, but you'll still get the same response. The same would apply for cena

Another thing reigns don't really need a mic he already has a Goldberg/lesnar type of presence.

 

[mrken12]

They butchered it because of UPN stepping in and wanting to kill it off. That's what I was saying about the corporate aspect of wrestling won't warrant a true, scumbag heel.

UPN only wanted to end the character because WWE made a stupid creative move at the worst time that contradicted Hassan's character.

And I again challenge people to tell me how he is a face in the first place. Look at the rusev feud...How was he a baybyface?

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Roman reigns gets legit heel heat.

No... He gets go away heat. Its the same as Stephanie. It isnt what he does that makes fans angry, its what he DOESN'T do for them. He is also the first wrestler to get a legit "go away" chant. There is a stark difference between Vince McMahon heel heat and Roman's heat.

Taker-Reigns was not a good guy bad guy story. Roman feud with Braun is your basic big bully sneak attacking Roman and costing him the title at the rumble.

Breh there is No such thing as a LOUD go away heat. Go away heat is was glacier, jj, Rob Conway, etc got.

People HATE Roman Reigns. Tell me truthfully, if you had Roman reigns vs

• Aiden English
• Curt Hawkins
• Enzo
• The drifter

What happens? They get over as a face. As a motherfukker. He is a heel. You gotta stop thinking heeels are always on some snidley whiplash shyt.

Reigns wasn't a bad guy for KILLING undertaker for all intents and purposes? Hitting him with a chair, deading him, and bragging about it the next day?

It's one of the more heinous things we've seen low key
