The chant is more to get under the skin of Roman (and his supporters) and based on the whining we've seen over the past 2 days, it has worked brilliantly. Mission accomplished.

Yeah but the chant itself really doesn't make any sense. Reigns should have added last night "Have you seen my last 3 PPV matches? I'd say there is evidence that I CAN wrestle."

"You can't wrestle" is an all-time stupid chant.

At first I thought they were stupid idiots with that chant, of course Roman can wrestle, he's had many a great match.
Yet he's just faced a guy back from a knee injury twice and has failed to apply any submissions manoeuvres to the weakened body part so maybe he really doesn't know any wrestling holds.
Maybe he'll eventually break down at the chants and admit to that deficiency before debuting his new submission finisher at Battleground.

Honestly thought his matches with AJ would finally kill this chant but marks gonna mark.
In spite of all his promo and booking woes the dude's been solid ring-wise for a while now. He's never going to be the second coming of Kurt Angle.

He's obviously really good, but let's see how he does with 8 minute mid card matches on RAW and PPVs when he's not booked as an unstoppable ass-kicking babyface. Not to justify the chants, just saying that's he's been gifted a lot of advantages.

He can wrestle, he just can't wrestle as a face. Not until he has a good run as a heel.

"You can't wrestle" is an all-time stupid chant. It has to be beyond confusing to casual fans watching the show. He was the champion of wrestling. Clearly he can! It would be like chanting "You can shoot!!" To heckle Steph Curry during warmups.

This has to be the smarkiest smark chant that ever smarked. Do you guys know how to perform any of these moves? Do you know how to lay out a match, or have any familiarity with the psychology and pacing that goes into one? No? Then regardless of whether or not the guy actually can wrestle, you're probably not a very good judge and can STFU.

The chant is unfair to him.

I think people read too much into that chant. It's less saying the guy literally can't wrestle and more that they just don't like him. "We don't like you" Is so hard to chant?

"We don't care for you and would rather have someone else in the spot you are occupying!" just doesn't roll quite the same off the tongue.

Reigns is a dull, dull wrestler in my opinion.
I am unmoved by INTENSE offense, personally, so some mileage will vary there. But that is all he brings to the table. That's all he's got. ROAR power gragh. He's a little bit adding some slams, which is something, but he's got a long way to go, offense-wise, before I think he's decent.
And his selling and match pacing are not good, though I'm willing to grant that might be limitations on playing a top face character.

Not to justify the chants, just saying that's he's been gifted a lot of advantages. How can you say he's talented in one breath then say he's gifted opportunities in another. If he's good doesn't that talent warrant those advantages he's gotten but I digress. First off he's not going to work 8 minute mid card matches as you put it. Second the dude has been very versatile delivering in matches where he wasn't the main event(Bray Wyatt, Big Show to name some).

Second the dude has been very versatile delivering in matches where he wasn't the main event(Bray Wyatt, Big Show to name some). Pretty much the entire roster is talented. Do you really think those matches with Bray Wyatt and Big Show were memorable? Better than any other undercard matches on RAW? That first Bray/Roman singles match on RAW was devoid of heat and it really exposed both of them. My point is that it is much easier to have good matches when they're attached to meaningful storylines built around the World Title, given the Main Event slot on a PPV, and allowed to go 20 minutes with a bunch of finishers (which are the only near falls fans react to these days). There's just a lot of hyperbole to overcompensate for the Roman backlash. He works well with the WWE Main Event style match. I don't think he's versatile at all and there's so many good workers on the roster who are.

Lots of wrestlers are talented but not over enough to justify two back to back WM main events and "the guy" treatment.

Since it was brought up... I found that Big show last man standing match really boring and nowhere near as good as many others did.

Whatever happened to good ol' "You Suck" chants?
Why does everything have to be so "insider" these days?
