It's Disheartening Being A Reigns Fan....

This man made 3.5M last year, has fun with his friends, wins most of his matches and already has the accolades that make him a headling Hall of Famer.

Why in the hell do you care that people don't like him lmao?

Roman got on my nerves a while ago (basically since he came up with that stupid "Let me walk out of the Rumble under my own power and then come back" spot), but I think it's more that if someone's THAT big of a Roman fan, they have more than just a little bit of a legitimate reason to worry that with the amount of virulent hate Roman gets, some of it is going to transfer over to them just for being a fan of his.

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.

You know what else sucks? Watching Roman beat people I like clean while being an uninteresting overly pushed face. Win Three World Titles, the US Title, be a Triple Crown Champion, Ruin the Royal Rumble every year for the past four years, be in the Mania Main Event the past three, and be told by WWE "WE THE FANS CHOSE HIM, DEAL WITH IT" when the contrary is very clear in the crowd narrative.

This is a Two Way Street bucko.

How did Roman ruin the Rumble in 2014?

[Woo]

You just watched Roman beat Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Two weeks later you are upset because your guy was beaten up and people cheered? You shouldn't be angry at the fans you should be angry at the WWE.

I am a Vince Russo fan. Top that.

Hell, I always kind of liked the Great Khali and Hornswoggle.

Khali, absolutely, for me.

I like that this has turned into a confessions thread.

I'm kinda surprised at the amount of negativity towards the OP.

People are comparing it to Roman being overpushed when other people are underpushed.

I think it's more of a "this guy is being written horribly and it sucks" more than anything.
Like, Bray Wyatt falls into that same category, isn't nearly as protected, but I still feel the same way the OP does.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

I can't stand reigns but if anyone does that they are an ass and need to grow the hell up. Its childish as hell to treat someone badly because they like a freaking wrestler you don't.

[The Ichi]

You think you have it bad? Try being a fan of...Oh wait, I actually don't give two shits what other people think.

[Capt Lunatic]

You like Roman Reigns.

Titus O'Neil's mom was raped when she was 11 and then raised the baby by herself.

Everyone has their own cross to bear I suppose.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Not sure why ya would care. Your guy is THE focus of shows. Enjoy.

The OP is annoyed that people loved Roman being attacked by Braun. He's also annoyed that people hate Roman's character because he is the focus of the shows. Everyone is just saying that he should be thankful that his guy is the top guy in the company.

And I'm pretty sure I'm about to take some major heat on this board because of my massive dislike for Alexa.

But you've got to stick to your guns, even when it puts the majority against you.

I agree with this because I have a severe dislike for James Ellsworth. I just found his booking during the Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles feud intolerable. Being an AJ Styles fan, I HATED the fact that Ellsworth beat him not once, not twice, but three times.

I know AJ Styles got injured during that feud but I hated how it took 4 attempts to get his revenge on James Ellsworth. When he did finally get his revenge his much needed victory was shat on by David Otunga, who was like yeah he finally beat James Ellsworth but he still lost to him 3 times.

That ish annoyed me to no end because around the same time it was rumored that AJ was going to face The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble. But how could he be taken seriously as the WWE champion if he is made the butt of the joke at James Ellsworth expense?.

Personally, I loved the Ellsworth stuff, it was harmless. I felt it added to AJ's character, the idea that even though he was a world class wrestler he was still arrogant enough to be embarrassed.

It was nowhere as bad as how ridiculous he was written in TNA when he was with Christian. Dude was like already a former NWA world champion and he was hiding out in his grandparents' house.

[Jiren]

I'm a Nia Jax fan

And she gets a lot of hate on here, Granted there's stuff I don't like about her (Attire, Music)

Dammit give her a T-shirt guys can wear, Same with Alexa (Being a female is no excuse as Ember Moon & Asuka have Badass T-shirts)

People aren't going to pretend to like him to make you happy. It happens.

You really could have closed the thread comfortably after this post.

Like who you like, who gives a f*** what we think about your favourite guy? I'm not going to get disheartened about listening to Blur just because my brother thinks they suck.

Roman is apparently the biggest non-Cena merchandise seller in the company. Roman gets booed every night and then dries his tears with a shitload of royalty cheques. That help?

I'm waiting for someone to admit to being a Dixie Carter fan.

Annie Potts. Grrrr

[Kevin Hamilton]

Also, I made it clear in the women thread on Saturday that I like Alicia Fox.

She can't even get on the show despite bein smokin hot and a good rassler.

Roman is only one of those things according to many.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Since we're confessing things: I was massively into LayCool. Layla El was hilarious.

[________ has left the building]

Who cares? If Roman is yo boy, ride or die during the good and bad times. That's what the life of being a fan of a pro wrestler. Look at who I like. A lot of them had pretty damn good careers with plenty of shit of shit moments. My support never stop. I'll be the first to point out their flaws and mistakes. But defend them when I feel it is justified. I don't look to be one of the In Crowd. I just be true to myself.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I rallied up with Ricky Ortiz on more than one occasion

[chronocross]

As others have said, it shouldn't bother you if others aren't into Reigns. It would be pretty boring if every single person here liked every wrestler.

I'm a fan of Goldberg, and I know others don't like him but I don't care I still mark out when he comes on screen, so that's all I need to know.
