When did he half-ass his job? He came in and inflated Paul's ego, just like they wanted. He looked pretty damn good doing it as well. He just did, like 5 minutes ago, he didn't even try. Huh?

I hope we don't stray far from the main thing to come from tonight.
(Roman Reigns) BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm so happy that trainwreck was taken off the tracks so the FUTURE could roll on through.

You take this way too personally and frankly I grow tired of seeing it. There are fans of these men out there whether this forum wants to admit it or not. They have several demos to juggle besides the self proclaimed "smart" ones. Get over it. If fans of the Big Show and Kane want to cheer for them, no one is stopping them. And how come I never hear those fans for the other 51 weeks of the year? My kid is a fan. He doesn't count? There's more to this machine than the message board fans and smarks and people who go to the shows. It extends to the kids at home booing heels and cheering faces and begging for the toys and liking guys 'cause they're big or just look cool. Not everything is about "us" and it shouldn't be. In 3 hours there's a lot of demographics to touch on and please.

The post-Mania RAW crowd has the reputation for being the smarkiest smarks who ever smarked. Sometimes their reactions are entertaining, sometimes they are eye-roll worthy, but you know what you are getting into.
The only way to handle this crowd is to give them what they want. The Lesnar stuff should have closed the show, not been in the 9:00 hour. And they really should have had Reigns miss this week.

Chicken and egg. One cannot exist without the other but, once again, I am of the opinion we shouldn't put ourselves over the wrestlers. That is my opinion and I get it is not popular when it comes to these post-Mania RAWs but it won't change. They were actively being against the main event match that involved many people who they detest. They weren't putting themselves over the wrestlers, they weren't being disrespectful, they were showing their disdain for certain characters. We are awesome! *Clap Clap ClapClapClap* We are awesome! *Clap Clap ClapClapClap* Says otherwise to me. You will not be changing my mind on that. Now I will try my best to let this die off.

That's so shortsighted though. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Sting wanted the Taker match and, if he had been used right (i.e. not whatever the hell Mania and tonight was), I don't think it would have taken much convincing for him to accept. You really think he'd agree to all this without knowing the plan? Not a chance, IMO. Yeah, but there's a difference between agreeing and the next time WWE comes around saying "I think I'll pass" vs. agreeing and being on board next time. Then again, if they dangle the Taker match (or added enough zeros to the paycheck), he'd probably accept.

He's a wrestler, it might be a terrible segment with Bo Dallas(who goes along with his shitty gimmick), but he should try, not be like "yeah I might have something but I don't know it's WWE guys, ok let's move the crowd a bit before I go MAYBE FOREVER, heh I don't even care enough to move my arms, see ya", that's one legendary legend right there.

The fact that you do suggests WWE should go back to the drawing board. Which I believe (dat) they have. It's not the fans fault that Roman Reigns boyhood dream suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. And I mean suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

I honestly believe at this point that if they don't fire Roman within the next 3 months, some idiot is going to assault him in an airport or a bar or something.

To that end, I don't care if people at home cared about that match, not one bit, and I'm glad the crowd didn't.

Has nothing to do with it. My whole point was to Spark to stop taking it so personally, the show isn't just for him.

The mute button is free, these people paid their money they can chant whatever they and these wrestlers can put food on the table thanks to those people's money.
It's one night of the year. We can go back to dead crowds and a boring ass show next week.
That ending was shit btw. Should have closed the show with Lesnar chaos.

What I am saying, you think in the whole negotiations this whole story, wrestling Hunter at Mania and losing wasn't run by him? I'm saying everything we saw I have to believe he was on board with well in advance so he would have no issue with it.

I can agree that they should have put that at the end, if only because jesus Byron sucks.

I would have loved to have sat in on that negotiation HHH: "OK, you come in, lose to me, then Bo Dallas" Sting: "Sounds awesome!"
