I still don't understand this obsession with turning Reigns heel just so y'all can like him better. :yeshrug:
It's not about liking him better. It's just where he fits. "White meat, everyone should love me" Roman doesn't fit with who he is. Naturally he has a slick mouth and a cocky personality. That's just WHO HE IS. He is more Rick Rude and Rocky than Cena and Hulk. From the inception of the Shield, he always gave off a beautiful, super attractive hard ass, rough neck vibe. He even showed hints of it right after The Shield broke up.

Yet when he went face on his own, they completely deviated from the kind of face he should've been. He should've been the guy that makes the audience go "I shouldn't like this guy, but I do :leostare:"


Unfortunately, they ruined all hopes of that even tho they were given so many chances to right their wrongs. The last chance was when he speared HHH and got "fired". THAT COULDVE BROUGHT ON SO MUCH GOOD CHANGE FOR HIM.

Its not just the fans. Baby face Roman is a horrible character. He is not entertaining (aside from his matches).

Turning him heel would help his character. Tweener/Heel Roman IS entertaining because it's so much more natural. You can feel how comfortable he is being a dikk.

Plus, Tweener Roman gets me hot. :shaq:

Heel Roman is almost too much to handle. :noah:

Bro this is total different situation. Not comparable at all.

The Rock wasn't 3 time champ, and pushed downs people's throats before he was turned.

The Rock debut just like anyone. The he GREW into what worked. Roman has been around like 4 years now. People are hip to him already.

For what? So the crowd can start liking him? :heh: We all know how this works. They might as well just keep doing what they were doing. Unless if they turn Rollins face which won't happen anytime soon.

Exactly. The reason he gets so much heat now is because he isn't a heel. If they turn him and start booking him as a heel he's going to lose all this heat. Just let him do what he's doing now and eventually he'll at least get the Cena split reactions.

The Rock was debuted as a face in a climate of fans who were starting to like cool heels(Austin, Nwo)...he turned heel and they actually let him have mic time. His legendary charisma was on full display..it was like Jordan before the title years. A year and half later, he won the WWF belt and had a iron clad grip on the main event forevermore. Roman turning heel doesn't guarantee any such results. They already gave him the belt before he was ready and it has led to near incurable boos and he has shown NO MONEY promo on the range of even Regal, Eddie, Rick Rude, or Macho Man yet alone the STATUS of the ROCK?:laugh: A guy who was scorching Austin when Austin was hungry and didn't want to let up his spot? Come on...Roman is gonna get booed out hard, heel or face. Girls might want to cheer for him but male fans aren't cheering for shyt from him unless it's legitimately good.

That's not the reason at all..he gets heat because the company told you he was the best and he deserved it more than anyone else just like they did with Blandy and Cena. And they got booed for years before they were ever able to make up ground again. Blandy had to go to like 2009 before he got cheers as a heel again and that was because he was terrorizing Stephanie and looking "cool" before he was left in the dust two years later by Punk.

Many faces who've been booed for one reason or another & turned didn't get cheered as heels:

HBK - DX got over pretty big as heels. It's mainly because he was going against the white hot Austin that he didn't get cheered
Edge - He was getting booed as a face so they turned him and he immediately lost all of his heat. Luckily Matt worked himself into a shoot......
Angle - He was coming out to crickets right after that Alliance storyline. Too many turns.
Rock(97) - He was face within a year
Batista - After he turned on Mysterio he lost most of his heat. He didn't get hot again until the Cena feud where 50% of the people fell in love with him. He didn't set the world on fire with his last heel run either.
Etc

It ain't looking too good for Roman. :francis:

It's the fans` fault for creating this weird obsession with anti-heroes/cool heels.

It used to be a time when faces get cheered and heels get booed. That's the point of being a face or a heel.

Unless they're straight :trash: or boring, a face should never get booed.

The fans have complicated things.

The wwe should probably start pushing towards having wrestlers being tweeners to counter the fans` reactions towards certain wrestlers.

It's not a good look when roman is doing face tactics, but he's getting heel responses. :upsetfavre:

He needs to mix it up with some heel tactics. In this age I think it's okay for certain wrestlers to be in that gray area.:yeshrug:

To be fair, his first match with AJ he came off better with the cocky attitude. Treating AJ like he wasnt worthy to be in the ring with him. When it feels natural >>

Which is why I don't think he should turn heel, but be a tweener and let Roman cook for awhile for awhile in what makes him comfortable.

Roman's good at ad libbing, they need to let him do that more
