Roman's booking has been aggrivating for years, aside from the brief period of time with him getting fresh for a while with the turn. His constant presence, always winning, always the best, it's overwhelmingly stale. Roman needs to be geared down to upper mid card for a while and let some of the guys on the roster that have needed a run for years have a go at it.
Brock's booking to me, while hardly perfect, just doesn't bother me as much. Embrace the final boss role, use him sparingly and I'm good.

At least Brock has his moments when he's fun. Heel or face Roman is just an insufferable chore 100% of the time.

The Brock situation reminds me of the Wolverine and the X-men comic. This was when Wolverine had broke off from Cyclops and reopened the school. I didn't expect a lot from the title but it ended up being genuinely entertaining. That's not what reminds me of the Brock situation though.
The series barely had a chance to establish itself before it was pulled into some big crossover. That finishes and they get to tell their stories again for a few issues...then pulled into another big crossover. I was following a lot of Marvel comics at the time and none of them were interrupted near as much as this series. This definitely affected the quality of the series. The interruptions meant that intriguing stories were often cut short or preempted.
That's what reminds me of Brock. He's the latest Marvel event that gets in the way of the story. Some Marvel events are great and some fit, but some are just to fill a quota and preempt the good story that was already in progress.
Brock has interrupted so many stories, especially when playing the role of absentee champion. He has had entertaining moments and even some good matches but mostly he's been an interruption that gets in the way of story telling.

Roman and his heel run started off interesting and had a real novelty to it. Now it’s just a dull grind.
Brock is at least a little interesting now as he switched up his look out of the ring and looks genuinely invested for a change.

Roman was a genuinely intriguing character for about the first 6 months of the heel turn, but they've gotten extremely lazy with it and now they just stick to the same formula. He comes out, says he's going to smash his opponent, leaves, and then just sits there in his room looking disgusted at the TV.

His opponents all either get smashed, thus validating his point that they're weak little bitches, or there's a bunch of Uso run-in BS that Michael Cole has to pretend is the first time they've ever done this in a Roman Reigns match even though the Usos keep interfering in Roman Reigns matches. Yes, Brock has Suplex City/F5/Pin, but Brock has also, you know, lost in recent history. Opponents ironically have a better chance at winning a match against Brock because the match is so formulaic against Lesnar as opposed to in favor of Reigns, if that makes any damn sense.

If it was their old characters I might be tired of it.
But to me these are the top two guys in wrestling right now by a large margin so I’m excited to see it.

I'm not tired of Roman Reigns. I feel this is the one thing WWE's gotten right the last couple years.
But for the first time in a while, I'm not *SUPER* tired of Brock Lesnar. I was. He'd hold the world title hostage and leave months on end. What I am tired of, is WWE not building up a formidable opponent for Reigns other than Lesnar. There's other options, and they just release everyone they could make money off of.

Roman has been THE guy for like 7 years at this point... he's no longer new or novel... but they still seem to think they need to establish him.

I'm going to say both. Although I'm onboard with Lesnar going on a face run, I still never wanted him to have yet another run as a part-time champion. That's something I've been tired of for a few years now.
Roman on the other hand, needed to drop the title long ago. Love his run as a heel, but the problem is that it's gone on for so long now that it's essentially run out of steam at this point. It also doesn't help that WWE is dead set on making Roman vs Rock happen, so it makes everything between now & then feel like months on end of useless filler. And rather than use his reign to help give someone else a much-needed rub & establish a new star in the process, we're possibly looking at him either dropping the belt to Lesnar or Rock, which would be anti-climatic as hell. -___-

Oh I don’t know, would I rather be shot in my right foot or left foot?

Oh both a long time ago. Both need to drop their titles and go on an extended leave from the product. Send Roman to Japan for awhile and send Brock back to the Canadian forest. But the messed up thing is if they did that, they literally have no one on the roster to run with either belt and keep fans interested.
I mean both Kevin Owens and the Miz have been neutered by Shane McMahon. Shinsuke has horribly since joining the main roster. Sami Zayne is at that level yet. Both Big E and Kofi have been sent to tag team purgatory. Lashleys hurt.
I have no interest in seeing Brock or Roman at this point. Yet at the same time, I have no faith that it’s going to end anytime soon
