Posts like these are why wrestling isn't fun for me anymore. It's one thing to hate a wrestler, but wanting him to fail at everything in life just because your favorites didn't win? That's just... ugh... It sure as hell isn't fun when someone who's over all subpar is going to spearhead the company into the future just because his hair is f***ing long. But you've basically said you want him to become a social pariah on par with child molesters and the like simply because management at work latched onto him when he wasn't ready.

Hi my names (cough)romanreigns(cough), I'm here to officially and legally inform you that I'm favored by WWE management. A ba-dee, uh... ba-dee... that's all. Folks.

Yeah, the funniest thing about the whole win was how completely oblivious Reigns was to the boos. I give Reigns credit tho a lot of ppl would of had the crazy screw face like oh god why me I guess ignorance IS bliss.

It is really, really long though. And I do wonder what it smells like. The people Reigns work with know what his hair smells like. We don't. Thus, we cannot fairly judge if this Roman Reigns push is the right call.

Rock coming down was one of the most insulting things of the evening. "You WILL like this guy because LOOK HERE! THE ROCK IS HIS COUSIN! YOU LOVE THE ROCK!" I saw it coming and was just dreading it so much just in case it worked. I am SO glad it didn't.

I saw it coming and was just dreading it so much just in case it worked. I am SO glad it didn't. Me too. I'm really not into that kind of manipulation. Its like when Cena is getting booed out of the building and he starts putting over people like Ambrose/Ziggler/Bryan and talking up the local sports teams. Drives me nuts when it works.

"Huh, where are the cheers? Wait, are they booing the rock? ......Dammit Roman." The real test of how toxic Roman is will be this. Will crowds turn on Bryan if HE dares say anything nice about Roman? I think it'd go like it did when they had him come out to lead the fans in a round of YES! chants at the prospect of him facing Triple H. They'd go along with it, but only in a very awkward, "We're only doing it because it's for you, Dan," sort of way.

Yeah, once it got to 27 and it become obvious the Rock wasn't in the Rumble, I looked over to my mom and "Rock is coming out after the match so they don't boo Roman. That is brilliant" and when it back fired I had the biggest smile. Not often I get pleasure out of something failing like that but man that was good.

Really the most genius part was letting everyone know on the free pre-show that The Rock was in the building, which you know brought in some $9.99s.

Cole: "It's...IT'S EDDIE GUERRERO! HE'S ALIVE!" Crowd: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Cole: "...and he's coming out to congratulate Roman Reigns!" Crowd: "BOOOOOOOOOOOO! Go back to hell!" Hell of a post.

What gets me about Rock coming out is this is them 'learning' from last year. Get Bryan in but get him out early, make sure the smarky favourites are tossed by heels and have a guy they know they like out like the clappers at the end to cut the boos and give an endorsement. They course-corrected last year but their version of where they went wrong and our version of where they went wrong still aren't in alignment.

Yeah, the lesson they learned wasn't, "Give the fans what they want," but, "Try and force them to cheer who you want them to whether they want it or not."

I'm done yo, even he realized it was a bad choice. Unlike last year's anger with the Rumble, I'm cracking up, I can't believe these guys lol. Rock looks betrayed and angry

Like I said on Twitter during the show last night. The ONLY things that crowd would not have shit on last night after Bryan's elimination were.... -Bryan reentering as Bryan Danielson (the roof might have caved in if 'Final Countdown' had started playing) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XsorUGTaq0- www.youtube.com/watch?v=li05vAVXcQsAnd I"m only 100% about one of those.
