This years mania will be what, 3 or 4 right? The first time they tried it failed so hard Rollins walked out with the title, then he beat H, then he beats Taker and now Lesnar at this coming one..
That's kinda crazy that he's been given all those mania mainevents and everyone still hates him.

If we count the aborted coronation of Mania 31 and Survivor Series where he won the title and got rained on with Mania levels then we're up to four so far. Four "this is it this is main event Roman, our star, please love him" coronations that have been received worse and worse as time goes on

It really is getting ridiculous. I could excuse them the first couple of times, since they were trying hard to get him traction. But doing it last year, and now potentially again this year? Inexcusable, and frankly, stupid. So much talent in this company, top to bottom just filled with amazing characters and workers, and they continue to force one guy down the throats of their audience. It made sense with Hogan for that era, it made sense with Austin/Rock because they were that over, and it has even made sense with Cena because he is probably the most polarizing wrestler ever. Reigns is just boring.

Imagine if they just stuck with blue chipper Rocky Maivia, despite all crowd reactions to the contrary
I'll never understand it. Does he even have the justification for staying face of merch sales and make a wish kids that Cena did?

It's because they are more interested in making merch movers that never become big crossover stars that can leave..they'd rather have Roman for 20 years making them money then only have 5-7 big years. |

It was stated a while ago that Cena was still by far the number 1 merch mover, and while Roman was the #2 the gap between 2 and 3 was nowhere near the gap between Cena and Roman. So not really. |

Such an amazing moment. |

Give Jeff hardy a singles push and he will drop to 3 |

Yea pretty much this. I've been a proponent of the entire Shield group as "the guy" that way you are flexible in changing their alignments without one person getting stale or "stuck" in the position of you are our guy booking. The writing is on the wall of Roman being good but being stuck in a position he shouldn't be in. He can still be your guy as a heel which would better suited for him in every way possible but they are blind to it. It sucks as a Roman fan to see them missing on so many levels but you can only support the guy behind the character until they actually it right |

I remember when Rock came out at that Rumble - my first thought was "OK, this is brilliant - they're using the Rock to take heat off Roman winning" - and it backfired completely. I loved it, and I actually like Roman. |
