Because he isn't at fault for getting a push. Let these smarks make up a chant directly addressing Vince if they want to change shyt, booing the wrestler in question didn't change shyt for Cena's push, won't change shyt for Reigns' push and only spits in the faces of the fans. Kids in particular.
fukk the kids :camby:

The funny thing about all of this is the fact that Reigns was clearly the most over member of The Shield when the group was still intact and smarks loved him back then. If you wanna talk about inconsistency and neckbeards neckbeardin', look no further than that.

Exactly.

People with that lame ass excuse, "They aren't booing Roman, they are booing the WWE." Why take your frustration out on a wrestler when you should take your frustration out on Vince McMahon and hurt his pockets? It makes no sense. You're not gaining nothing by booing a wrestler for doing their job. Not only did Roman get an ass whooping and got dominated by Brock Lesnar in the match, he got pinned by Seth Rollins. He got a double blow and his debut in a WM main event sucked for him. I mean what more do people want? It doesn't even matter at this point if Roman improved tremendously, people are hellbent on hating him regardless. smdh

At this point, they have no choice but to turn him heel. Hell might as well give the audience something to boo with their whiny asses.

You don't understand what happened at the Rumble bleeding over into his push and him not having the mic skills or credibility to win the crowd back over? He'll be a little bit safer in hick territory but the Chicagos, Philly, Los Angeles, the UK shows coming up, Brooklyn....as long as guys like Ambrose are used to pad up Cena, he'll probably have to take some heat here and there.
How the fukk did you work Cena into this? :dwillhuh:

People get into this "we're mad because of WWE and Vince and their insisted pushing of certain wrestlers"... like this ain't been happening since they were a fukkin' kid.

If Vince McMahon wanted Ultimate Warrior to team with Billy Jack Haynes and do jobs to Demolition and the Hart Foundation, that's what would have happened and he'd have never gotten over. But instead, Warrior got a great theme song, a consistent push, and they always told you how incredible he was on commentary. They gave you an image, repeated victories, and verbal affirmation that you were supposed to love this guy... added to his own talents... and he got over as fukk. And guess what? The mullet neckbeards of the '80s didn't like him either, and you didn't care cause you were young and you ate up everything they fed you.

If Vince McMahon wanted Undertaker to just be a regular big guy who beats jobbers but does nothing else of importance, who woulda really given a fukk? He coulda been the Warlord. But nah, they debuted him at a big PPV, instantly showed you his dominance, established him so much that inside of a year he was fukkin' up Warrior and Hogan. And everybody ate it. Because they believed this muhfukka was BAD. How couldn't he be, beatin' the shyt out of these top stars... if he was just whoopin' Koko B Ware's ass, nobody woulda gave a damn.

And that goes for a NUMBER of other people who got over... some of whom didn't even get a real push until a long time after they'd debuted. Nobody cared about anything Hammer Pants Owen Hart did until they put him in a big feud with Bret, i.e. a PUSH. And at that, a push of a dude who'd been there for 2 years and had not gotten over until they did that.

Only now is there some relentless desire to just rebel against everything that is endorsed by the company... which makes it even more funny, because what did you think was happening when he got cheered HEAVY at that Survivor Series for spearing and pinning damn near the whole opposing team... or when he eliminated 11 people in that Royal Rumble... crowd was SOLIDLY behind that. That to me was even more excessive than the push they've been giving him in recent months, and muhfukkas were hyped. Then it became clear that they were looking to have him become a main eventer, and all of a sudden "nobody" liked him... :heh:

the situation's kinda funny now considering he was the first one to get over in the Shield

I get why he's booed but its kinda boring now he's pretty much an upper midcarder resolving his issues with a sneaky champion and got washed in his 1st main event

not to mention Rollins has had a strong push alongside Roman and the ugly duckling of the Shield is now its 1st world champion.

The two worst things that happened to Reigns:

1) Punk's "Make Roman look strong" story on Cabana's podcast (a story based Punk describes a match where he actually went over The Shield (3-1) at TLC. Fan of Punk, but :francis:)
2) Dirt-sheets leading people to believe that he was hand-picked to BEAT Lesnar for the title and people running with it.

You can say what you want about a few of the promos (some were cheesy, some were pretty good), but once people got the idea in their heads that Roman was going to pin Brock for the belt, it was a wash. Another thing that didn't help (which I noticed in the 'Mania thread) is that a lot of cats have no clue how MITB works, so they never figured there was an alternative finish.

What I wonder is that if Reigns wasn't being given a push, how would they have wanted the timeline from the Rumble to 'Mania to work? If D-Bry had won the Royal Rumble and went on to get thrashed by Lesnar and cashed in on the same way, I'd guarantee that the tune would've been spun to, "They're burying D-Bry! They're using him to get a part-timer over. Seth Rollins is buddies with Triple H, so he gets preferential treatment." :mjcry:

People here used to suck the cum clean out of Reign's dikk. Same poor mic skills, same limited ring work just more :noah: from TSC. Seth Rollins was an after thought for most. He was destined to have a Jeff Hardy/Kofi Kingston career according to TSC gurus. Meanwhile Ambrose was going to be THE HEEL because you know......Joker impersonation and Reigns was the anti Cena. Y'all were wrong, AGAIN. But of course to cover it up you have to revise the narrative on Reigns. You all never really felt him like THAT. Okay, I got you.

The Reigns hate is directly fallout from the last decade+ the "universe" has had to endure Super-Cena ...they do not want another 10 years of that so they will continue to reject anybody who reminds them of being the next Cena...

The only two faces on the card that gets roundly booed are Cena and Reigns. Bryan gets cheered like he's supposed to. Sting does, Taker does, Ziggler, Orton, Ambrose, down the face side they all get cheers at varying levels.

Name names because I think the same people booing Reigns now always maintained he was the weak link of the Shield and only kind of tolerated him because he was w/ the indy darlings. I know thats the case for me.

Vince gave the audience what they wanted last year, which is cool for a one-time thing and delivered an all-time great WM moment, but it made the smarks believe that they'll get what they want if they complain enough, and like the whiny brats they are they won't stop. They will never accept being proven wrong because in their minds they're absolutely right. Which ironically makes them exactly like the man they bytch about the most, Cokeboy.

so wait... their supposed to just enjoy some shyt they don't enjoy???

Doesn't matter if he's not the champ.. it's still clear to see he's being groomed for it, and as long as people like Bryan/Ziggler/Ambrose are in the midcard and Reigns is clogging up main event time, people are going to react that way because once again, they know it represents the WWE establishment's view of how things should be.

Ehh, not so sure about this. As you said, Reigns isn't really the problem and I think that he will be accepted by the majority if he keeps stepping up like at Mania. If that happens, fans will gradually accept that him being on top is actually something worth watching and cheering.

I think the biggest fear regarding Roman's reactions has to be the fans assuming booing him is cool. Once that happens it doesn't matter what you do with him, the boos will just be part of the show and it will be ap roblem as long as he's a babyface.

Cena had a horrible character and was lackluster in the ring (against better opposition, that also happened to be fan favorites) for more than a year so fans hated him. When he started improving in the ring it didn't matter anymore because his character was still ass and booing was just an obligatory thing when it came to him. They just can't repeat that with Reigns.
