Quick, someone explain to me why booing Roman Reigns was a big deal. This is actually currently important to a conversation. -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 19:38 21
- He has been pushed down the audience's throat without having 'earned' it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 19:45
- because he's being positioned as the top good guy in the company, the next John Cena, but wrestling fans don't like him. -- nm - Tim Jun 24, 19:42 19
  - I like him. When i went to Wrestlemania, he was the best part. -- nm - jnine Jun 24, 19:52 10
    - he's really good in the ring. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 20:02
    - The audience resents him --- he isn't 'bad', but the audience hates being told who to root for. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 19:58 7
      - nah...that what happened a couple of years ago. Now it's just people being dicks. Time to get over it, he's earned his push. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 20:03 6
        
        "a couple of years" = 2003 - 2017. -- nm - David Jun 24, 20:09 2
        
        I was talking about Reigns. But Cena, as bad as we all knock him, has been on top longer than anyone and sold more merch than anyone. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 20:12 1
        
        Suck is suck. -- nm - David Jun 24, 20:33
        
        He's been pushed for 3 years of declining ratings and stagnant stories. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 20:04 2
        
        *shrug* he's going to be headling WM with either 'taker or Brock next year. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 20:07 1
        
        That's not a sign that it's a good call -- it's a sign that Vince is in charge. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 20:08
    - Roman Reigns? There's nothing inherently wrong with him as a wrestler, WWE fans just don't like being told who to cheer for. -- nm - Tim Jun 24, 19:56
  - which does make him the next John Cena -- nm - David Jun 24, 19:47 6
    - Except Cena at least earned some push from 2003 to 2005 - Will Hunting Jun 24, 19:51 3
      - No, he didn't. He was a horrible white rapper back then. -- nm - David Jun 24, 20:00 1
        
        He was so bad that they test-ran him against Lesnar in a PPV main event to see how the audience would react. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 20:03
      - yeah, the SuperCena days didn't start right away. - Tim Jun 24, 19:57
    - returning on July 4th and will claim to be a "free agent" so he can appear on both shows! - Tim Jun 24, 19:51 1
      - The beatings will continue until morale improves. -- nm - David Jun 24, 19:51
  - he was forced down fans throats as the ultimate good guy at rapid pace without paying dues according to wrestling fans. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 19:44
