Roman's the highest-paid full timer in the company. Nobody (except his family) wants that. People resent the money that they paid for Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, and Rusev being funneled into Roman's bank account instead. I don't think it's anything to do with money. His writing and character just suck and all of the show's bad writing and bad ideas converge upon him.

Anything at all to do with him is going to be met with suspicion and resentment. Most of that isn't really his fault, but it is what it is.

I am so sick of this wishy washy excuse as to why fans boo Roman Reigns. I (like everyone else who hates him) have watched his matches and he is not a good performer. He’s garbage. No charisma, no personality or presence at all to him and on top of that...his moves are awful.
I’ve said this before but watching a Reigns match is like watching a little kid play WWE 2K18 in that they only know one big move and they hit that over and over and over again. People do not hate Reigns because it’s the “cool” thing to do. We hate this guy because he has absolutely no talent and has no business being in the entertainment industry. It’s too bad none of these guys will admit that instead of being in fear of what WWE might do to they when they return.

I don't think it is. Anyone who's going on about how they only pay money for (insert wrestler) and Roman Reigns is stealing that money is probably wrestling with a whole slew of their own problems way beyond a wrestling show.

Roman is manufactured “product”. Everyone knows that. It’s why Cena ultimately got rejected. He was over in the mid card. Then it became the Cena Show. People liked him well enough, at his station, like they used to Roman, to a lesser extent.
People don’t want to feel they’re being sold something. It’s why McDonald’s is struggling.

I'd say McDonald's is struggling more because it's becoming steadily ever more Socially Unacceptable to consume the style of product they offer.

While I think some of that is a little harsh, it is ridiculous for guys like Jericho to act like there aren't legitimate reasons for not liking Reigns.

While I still like him as a wrestler, I find Jericho more and more unlikeable with each of his books and each interview. Presumably fans aren't just being sheep when they’re cheering him?
Next he’ll be bringing out the “If you’ve never wrestled your opinion doesn’t count” classic

Sadly,iut comes off like this in situations he really doesn't have a good defense,it is pretty much the type of excuse when you have no counter-argument.

The desperation to try and shift blame away from themselves and Roman himself as to why people hate him is hilarious.
The most recent Raw after Mania is the absolute perfect example. We were given the traditional bizarro world excuse "they cheer who they normally boo and they boo who they normally cheer!" and then every babyface on the entire show was cheered apart from Roman.

The best part was that they kept harping on that all show even as people cheered the faces and booed the heels all night, reminding us every goddamn segment in preparation for Roman, making the commentators look like bumbling idiots in the process, because the only thing that mattered was trying to lean against the tailspin on when Roman inevitably came out. Not only did WWE have an excuse ready to try and pretend it wasn't their fault, but they kept lining it up all night at the expense of the rest of their show because only Roman matters.

Jericho is so freaking good. How can he, a fan-favorite veteran get heat for himself in the internet age? Defend Roman Reigns and dismiss fans' criticism as typical internet bull****.

And speaking of which, I recall somebody throwing a fireball on Raw in like idk 96-97. I don't mean the "HHH hits Chyna", "HHH hits Kane" and "Kane hits X-Pac" angles in like 98 and 99 but earlier, maybe Mankind was involved? Does anyone remember that or did I dream it? Was it The Executioner maybe?
