Since most of the other appreciation thread seems to actually be people hating on the match. I actually enjoyed it. I was skeptical at first of them doing an actual match this close to Summerslam, but it legitimately made me more excited for the Summerslam match. Plus, Rusev has now main evented Raw at least two weeks in a row, so good for him!

This SummerSlam match can only go one of two ways now since they've given it away on the go-home RAW...
*Reigns wins in 30 seconds *Rusev retains by shenanigans

If you found something good in that near 20 minute plodfest where Rusev threw everything at Reigns, he kicked out, and then just beat Rusev clean six days before Summerslam, then good for you, I think it was one of the worst things I've seen this whole year, about cemented me never cheering for Roman Reigns.

I enjoy Roman Reigns and the DC Cinematic Universe. Gotta tell you, it's nice not hating everything all the time.

Assuming people who hate Roman Reigns hate everything is a pretty snide comment in itself. God forbid we have a legitimate opinion for hating something you like...

I'll level here and grant, um... Rusev was pretty on-point with his heeling and I liked Lana selling the action in the ring. There, I gave it a couple compliments.

The WWE board feels like an abundance of Roman hate, while every thread about the DCCU seems mostly hate toward movies that aren't even finished filming. It feels like it's impossible to get away from negativity on here anymore.

It feels like it's impossible to get away from negativity on here anymore. While I cant fully speak for the DCCU, there's a legitimate reason that there is so much Roman hate. Sorry if you think it's too negative and you like the guy, but you shouldn't blame people who hate Reigns on their opinions with what they're presented, you should blame WWE for presenting this dude CONSTANTLY in the worst light possible, overpushed, uninteresting, going over guys who are better than he is. People got enough of this with John Cena, they've seen the writing on the wall with Roman since the Rumble he won, and what they want him to be, and his win over Rusev tonight and how he achieved it only continued to obviously show that. Roman is everything that people rejected about Cena for a decade except somehow worse, and any hate he gets on here is very much in my opinion deserved.

I didn't see the match/Raw but applaud you for putting your head above the parapet at least.

I didn't think it needed to be the main event, and I'd prefer the win being by shenanigans no matter who won but it was good. It wasn't just a "plodfest" or whatever. It was two hosses try to beat the crap out of each other for their own reasons. Came out wrong maybe... The WWE board feels like an abundance of Roman hate, while every thread about the DCCU seems mostly hate toward movies that aren't even finished filming. It feels like it's impossible to get away from negativity on here anymore. That's a discussion board for ya. If people don't like something they're going to say so. People did that with Cena, and yet that didn't envelope the entire WWE section with cynicism like with Reigns. Even with people hating on Cena, the board still had a jovial fun atmosphere about it.

Cena also moved mass amounts of merchandise and had overwhelming fan support as one of the most over faces in the company when his super push started. by all accounts Reigns doesn't... and really didn't (not that he wasn't over at all but some people like Dean were way more over than he was)

I meant the WWE board itself. People are either too cynical, depressed or openly mock the least bit positivity there is.

I wasn't talking about who was more over either except as a way to explain a reason why Reigns gets the overwhelming negative reaction on the board. Also implying we didn't have pages of Cena bashing threads on the forum at one point is absolutely false.

Except I did not imply that in the least, I specifically said "even with people bashing Cena". And I don't think that's the reason, there were guys most of the board hating getting small pushes and that didn't color the perception of this board either. If anything, I thinks its an ongoing after-effect of that "Team Wait and See" vs. "Team Cynic" that engulfed this board two years ago.

Outside of that one post-'Mania RAW where Reigns showed he can be just as snarky, he has'nt really been given the chance to play to that kind of divisive crowd.
