Roman Reigns has 2 Wikipedia pages.

[mrbananagrabber]

One for the guy himself; his football career, his wrestling, personal life, the usual stuff...

And a completely separate page for the “Persona and Reception of Roman Reigns.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_and_reception_of_Roman_Reigns?wprov=sfti1


And it’s all about the negative fan reactions etc.

Does any other wrestler have this? I know it’s not a big deal and anyone can make a Wikipedia entry but still.. does any other wrestler have two separate Wikipedia pages?

Well... Chris Benoit does.

There you have it, folks. Roman Reigns is just like Chris Benoit.

On a lighter note the Montreal Screwjob has its own page so Bret, HBK, Vince and all the other major parties involved have another one. Actually, Bret has quite a few.

Yeah I know and it's hilarious as hell. Funny thing is that defines the WWE's view of Reigns and the fans view. If you wanna see how they present Reigns? Read the original. If you wanna see how shit really is? That perception page is for ya lol.

The original page is honest about his perception as well. This is on Roman’s official Wikipedia page:

Following The Shield's break-up in 2014, Reigns (unlike the other former Shield members) retained much of The Shield's aesthetic and his popularity amongst fans and critics declined. Various critics raised concerns that Reigns, despite being "not fully ready", was "being pushed too hard, too soon" while WWE tried to make him their next "flagship star", "no matter how fans reacted” negatively. In a reversal from the previous year's Royal Rumble, Reigns was booed heavily after his victory despite portraying a heroic character at the 2015 Royal Rumble. After chasing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship unsuccessfully throughout 2015, critics described WWE presenting Reigns' character as a "hard-luck underdog" chasing the world title, with WWE having "spent an overwhelming amount of time" on Reigns, "bending over backwards to create new obstacles for him to overcome", "at the expense of almost everyone else on the roster".

With WWE unrelenting in their multi-year effort trying to establish Reigns as a mega-star, Reigns was booed at various WWE events, most notably at major pay-per-view events (where he wrestled in the main event in) such as 2015's WrestleMania 31, 2016's Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 32 as well as the 2017's Royal Rumble. As a result, critics observed WWE's repeated attempts to edit out and conceal hostile fan responses in 2015–2017 while Reigns was named as 2016's "Most Hated Wrestler of the Year" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated, becoming the first babyface wrestler to have been recognized as such. In 2016, WWE Hall of Famers Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rikishi and Hulk Hogan encouraged WWE to turn the Reigns character into a villain and after his suspension Yahoo! TV also urged WWE to "quit pretending he's some kind of lovable underdog" with a villainous turn.

In February 2017, Dave Meltzer wrote that WWE's push of Reigns "will never end. Isn't that obvious by now”. A month later, Meltzer reported that WWE's long term plans ("which obviously could change") for 2018's WrestleMania 34 was to "once again build for a year and have the big coronation" for Reigns, who would be a babyface (the heroic character) "between now and then" and beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal title "to fully replace John Cena as the lead babyface of the company". In a 2017 ESPN interview, Anoa'i said he did not view his boos "as a negative", but as "motivation". Anoa'i elaborated, "[...] thousands of people are screaming, booing at the top of their lungs, and I'm the center of attention, so I must be doing something right". In September 2017 on Raw, both (storyline) general manager Kurt Angle and commentator Corey Graves described Reigns as a wrestling "icon".

In March 2018, Reigns said regarding his reception that "everyone wants to see you do good, but not too good" and that there is "possible jealousy" from fans regarding his "major success".

That last line man. Damn. That guy does himself no favours in media interviews.

It's honest in parts but there's way too many things missing like in the Rumble part they didn't even mention dude's reaction once he won lol.

Reigns just needs to keep his mouth shut but we know how that goes.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

All the more for everyone to talk about him, I guess.

(The trick is to get everyone to start talking about OTHER talents for once... You have no idea how much joy I got out of seeing an Otis Dozovic thread today)
