I think the issue really is with booking, as others have said. If you book Reigns to be a monster, let him be a monster. If you book Reigns to be a white meat babyface, let him do that, but the fact they are hovering over which way to go is just harming him. You can't go from being an arrogant super cool bad guy who retired a legend, cutting a promo DARING the fans to hate you, then waffle on the next week about respect for Taker and then get your arse kicked BY A HEEL. It makes no sense to the casual viewer as to what the motivation of the character is, and hardcore viewers will always perceive his push to be artificial his actions are inconsistent. I'm no Reigns fan as I think he's sloppy in the ring and Godawful on the mic, but his prominence on the card, and sub sequent crowd is down to the guys running the show cack handedly messing him around. Also I'm a Big Show fan, imagine how I felt when he was the New Year's Baby. Bet Roman never gets booked to do that. Big Show is awesome!! I marked out for him when he had to wear the diaper AND have an affair with Vickie Guerrero. TBH I think that was all a result of Hogan throwing him off that roof.

One of my favorite fighters is Michael Bisping. Me too! I only rooted against him twice(against Sexyama and against Mayhem Miller). I don't like him ducking Yoel, though.

I'm a Simon Gotch Guy and have loved him since he showed up on NXT.
I just wanted that known.
As for Roman, I don't know what to say man. He's consistently pushed and presented as a top guy, but he does need to refresh his character. Retiring The Undertaker was always going to be a point of contention with fans, and any goodwill he had from last week's Raw diminished greatly this week.
That segment with Braun was hilarious to me only in it's absolute overkill. Dude was already beaten, then he throws "Roman" to the concrete, then attacks him in the ambulance, then tips said ambulance over? It kinda screams cheesy 95 Raw to me, and I love it.

Having to see every other post be anti-Reigns, knowing that a large portion of the board won't like him even if his booking does improve and he gets turned heel, basically being the lone person ANYWHERE who likes him... it sucks. It really does. And tonight may have been the absolute lowest point. Either don't worry about other people liking your favorite. Or get over it. Find a new favorite. I don't see why you care if anyone else likes him. Like I read this thread about 6 times before I even realized you were serious. Because really who whines about that?

Try being a Mojo Rawley fan. I still maintain I was the first one to come up with Monday Night Rawley. It's in the archives somewhere, but I swear I did this.

It was in the now-defunct WCWWE/WWE:FAN threads. I cant pull up the thread since I believe they were moved to archives and/or deleted. The date a have for coining the phrase is March 3, 2013. Granted, since we switched the days Raw would air, it's actually Thursday Night Rawley, but I like to think it still counts.
