Yeah he almost ruined him, like 7 months ago. Since then Roman has been doing great.

That's flat out not true, there's been more than one occasion, particularly the Rumble, where he was getting booed to shit. I went to the Raw in the UK, and Roman got booed more than anybody. That may be a biased reaction because of how rarely we get shows, but basically everyone got a mixed reaction simply by virtue of how rarely we see anybody, Cena got a pretty split reaction, but Roman's was heavily in favour of booing over anything else. His promo did turn the crowd slightly, yeah, but they largely cheered individual things he said (as with Cena) than him, and he was still getting booed after it. Ah. I be honest I watched RAW pretty sporadically around that time. I didn't like Roman either, but I never felt like his boos where that bad. Some things just don't translate well on TV. When I went to RAW, Cena was heavily booed and it was very loud. I rewatch it on TV and it's not nearly as noticable. Plus, UK Raw is a taped show, so they can fiddle with it as much as they like. I think the one I went to last year ended up being profoundly strange over a Stephanie promo because the fans were chanting something WWE didn't like? Something along those lines.

The Miz got/gets bigger heel heat than Reigns ever did. Roman's boo's where never as bad as people claimed. I was there in Philly for the Royal Rumble. Never heard anything louder. My condolences. Being in Philly. I can't imagine anything worse.

Eh, he didn't win the title and now they're doing with him what they should've done back in January, I'm cool with all that.
Now Bray Wyatt on the other hand...yeah.

Voiceover: "Premiering next week on the WWE Network. From the makers of "Swerved" it's "Vince'd" starring Vince McMahon as 'Vince McMahon'"
*preview scene*
Vince: "I'm glad you could make it to my office today Mr. Ryder."
Ryder: "No problem. I mean, I missed out on my dad's open heart surgery, but I got a text that said 'he should only be in ICU for a few more hours' so that's good because that means he didn't die."
Vince: "Listen. I don't wanna mince words. It's time. I'm all in. You're the one winning this year's Royal Rumble."
Ryder: "ARE YOU SERIOUS, BRO?"
Vince: "Yes I am serious....bro."
Ryder: "Oh man! I gotta call my girlfriend or someone. I just realized that if I'm main eventing Wrestlemania, that's a big payday. I can finally afford that expensive wedding she wants."
Vince: "You deserve it. You've been a long-suffering superstar here who's most certainly paid his dues."
Ryder: *sobbing uncontrollably* "This means so much to me Vince. I won't let you down."
Vince: "Of course you won't. You know why?"
Ryder: "Why?"
Vince: "Because none of this is gonna happen. YOU JUST GOT VINCE'D!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
*camera crew pops from hidden locations and centers around Zack*
Vince: "LOOK AT YOUR FACE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT I'D PUT YOU IN THE MAIN EVENT OF WRESTLEMANIA!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
*Ryder staring off into the distance in a catatonic state*
Vince: "YOU'RE SOOOOOOO STUPID!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! CALL ME WHEN YOU FIND OUT ON ANCESTRY THAT YOU'RE RELATED TO THE ROCK!"
Ryder: "Heh. Good one Vince. I have to go now. Hopefully I can get to the hospital soon."
Vince: "Good luck with that. I deliberately scheduled this meeting at 3pm just so you have to go through rush hour traffic. On the day before Thanksgiving. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! VINCE'D YOU TWICE YOU DUMB SON OF A BITCH!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

I feel like somehow after 6 months of Ryder getting Vince'd and him still not catching on, it would be the most hilarious thing ever.

They finally seem to have figured out how to book him. Had they figured this out a year or so ago, the backlash would have been far less severe, if not nonexsistant

Vince doesn't listen to the internet marks and puts the belt on Roman = People bitch Vince listens to the internet marks and scales back his push = People still bitch This reminds me of the TNA situation where they pushed Gunner and Crimson really REALLY hard after a long stretch of Hogan guys and there was a lot of "You wanted new stars, now you're getting em! THE IWC ARE NEVER HAPPY!" with two less than savory options it's easy to blame people for complaining too much, and while I think Roman is in a much better situation now than he was pre-Wrestlemania, I also think this board has enough "You are never happy you bitchy/whiny IWC people" posts lately.

Fo rizzle? I still can't believe they did that. Even if Bryan didn't win (he shouldn't have) they could have handled it so much better. As a reminder the Rock came out and they still booed Roman. If the rumble was booked better (in a way that didn't come off as Roman is the only important guy here) it might not have been bad... but the rumble was absolutely appallingly booked. Roman was not the only important guy. I mean heck the way it looked if Big Show and Kane had not started fighting each other Roman would not even have won.

To be fair, Vince also made Roman by how they booked him during his time in the Shield. It was foolish to change what was clearly working.

"Vince" should be a verb from now on. "Look at the verb, VINCE"

I feel like somehow after 6 months of Ryder getting Vince'd and him still not catching on, it would be the most hilarious thing ever. *at LaGuardia Airport*Ticket Counter Employee: "I'm sorry Mr. Ryder, but you're on the No Fly List. Says here you were involved in an incident with a terrorist sleeper cell in Yemen. Quite frankly, I don't know how you got back in the States with the amount of people it says you tortured." Ryder: "I don't even know where Yemen is! Listen. I need to get to Boise, Idaho tonight. If I don't make it to this house show, my boss said I'll be fired." *Ticket Counter Employee takes off mask*Vince: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! YOU GOT VINCE'D AGAIN!!!!! THIRD TIME THIS WEEK!!!!!" Ryder: "Dammit! Mr. McMahon, you got to stop doing this to me. I thought I was going to Guantanamo for a crime I didn't commit." Vince: "Oh no no. You are going to Gitmo. That stuff about the No Fly List. That's legit. I called the CIA and informed them that you actually did all those things. You're a wanted man, Zack Ryder. Or should I say Mahmoud al-Aziz? BOOM!!!! VINCE'D YA YET AGAIN!!!!!!" *Men in black suits arrive and put Mahmoud al-Aziz in handcuffs and promptly takes him away*

Roman was the victim of not really knowing what the situation was with Daniel Bryan. In hindsight, I really, really don't know who else they could have put in that role at Mania. I don't know that Dean Ambrose would have fit the bill, same with Ziggler. Cena was tied up in all the US Title stuff and they seemed hell bent on not telling the Cena redemption story again, so we got what we got. I'm going to consider Mania 31 the WrestleMania 13 of this era - I think 32 is going to be something really, really special that truly kicks off a new era for the company. I hope.
