A lot of people don't like the him. I don't consider that hostile towards his fans. All kinds of people have opinions the majority disagree with. Declaring that there is something wrong with the forum is just drawing attention negatively towards your fandom of Reigns. Just say directly why you like him or share your opinions about him honestly. If someone gets mad at you for it that is their own stupid fault. It's got to point that everything Reigns does or suppose to do, a bunch of threads pop up. Which turns into an endless loop of pro/anti Reigns posters saying the same shit. Every. Single. Time. No new ground is broken. No one minds is changed or something new learned. Seriously, just make an all purpose Roman Reigns thread so everyone can vent in there instead of clogging the board.

I think if the "make Roman Reigns look really strong" meme never happened, there wouldn't be a thread about every little thing he does.

I guess I'm not paying enough attention. If so many people want a Roman thread i'd be down.

I remember when Drew McIntyre was getting this kind of forum heat in 2009/2010... And he was just getting a midcard push.

What they need is for him to narrate the intro to the show; and set up whatever wacky adventure he's getting into this week. Bakula style. "Oh boy." If that's the face of the "future", I'm afraid for the future.

That one pic describes the main reason I'm not with this Reigns push; he's just not himself. That's not the face of a guy who's just "being him" no. That's the face of a guy pretending to be someone else. If only they stopped shoving these lines to him. Just let him be.

Roman Reigns ate a tuna fish sandwich with a pickle for lunch today. Someone should make a thread about that. HOLY MACKERAL

You think it's bad now? Wait and see what happens if he wins the Rumble.

I'm neither a Reigns super fan nor a Reigns super hater but I also noticed an influx of Reigns last night in the opening. It wasn't just the end, I'm pretty sure they cut to him three separate times (didn't notice anyone else having more than two, and most people were only once). People can minimize it all they want but there literally had to be an executive sitting over an editor's shoulder somewhere saying "We need more Reigns in this."

I don't think he's ready and I am seeing little signs that WWE is getting anxious to plow ahead with a plan to position him as their next big thing. I think pushing him too far too fast will make some fans resent him. I hope he does improve and become a big star. I hope WWE doesn't try to force it on him before he's ready. It's not best for them or him.

Whilst I think it is in fact significant that Reigns is at the end of the video and could mean he is line for a big push, I am so sick of the expression "shoved down our throats" every time the company gets behind a wrestler that my eyes glazed over. How else would you describe it? I don't care. Anything else.

bleacherreport.com/articles/2172837-roman-reigns-is-destined-to-receive-fan-resentment"The Information Age has begotten a different breed of wrestling fan. It's a know-it-all breed that refuses to go along with the storyline now that it’s available for scrutiny on a web browser. Access is just half the fun. The reaction (and overreaction) to rumors is what makes this generation of fan tick. From here on out, anybody perceived to be groomed as WWE’s next big thing will be met with resentment and skepticism."

How dare they put Reigns put in the credits!
The opening credits should only be for IWC darlings!
People on this site have forgotten, that there are WWE fans out there, who are not part of the IWC.

Wish I could have read the IWC during the attitude era. Be fascinating to read about how much the best ever, Rock and Austin "sucked". (Or maybe the IWC was positive on them I dont know).
