I would be okay if Raw featured only Roman and the announce team talking about Roman. Honestly; that's probably why RAW lost to SDL in the ratings. I think most of the audience can agree that the plotlines on SD are much much more compelling than the plotlines on RAW. Except for Braun v Sami and the Cesaro/Sheamus on again off again bromance and (I guess Enzo v Rusev even though it is horrible) there are no actual storylines on RAW (unless I am forgetting them) like ones with a beginning, middle, end and character development but there are multiple ones on SD. RAW is just random things happening for 3 hours. But that doesn't change the fact that Roman is pure greatness and deserves everything he has gotten and more and should have 20 segments opening every show, imo at least.

It's seriously baffling that they're determined to go down with this ship (cue Dido). Even if the booking wasn't as bad as it was, Roman himself just isn't all that good. He's not terrible by any means, but there are so many people on the roster better than him at pretty much everything. I mean yeah, the dude looks good on a poster but enough is enough.

Counterpoint: Roman is that dude and I still f***s with him even though WWE has f***ed him up six ways to Sunday. I'm the same with Kevin Owens. And Seth Rollins. And honestly a majority of the Raw roster. But besides Braun, Neville, Cesaro/Sheamus, and maaaybe Nia Jax and Sami, absolutely no one is being booked to their strength. Their top title looks like a joke with Owens and Jericho cracking yuck yuck jokes and being ineffective losers. Like that staredown with Goldberg, a year ago Owens would have looked like a legit badass. But dude's been a high profile comedy jobber for the past 5 months, he now looks completely out of his league with someone like Goldberg. Owens in NXT - Guy who will f*** anyone up without any remorse Owens in WWE - One half of a comedy duo where he's the Jannetty

It kills me because Roman could excel as a heel but the longer they push the HE'S A GREAT POWERFUL FACE THAT EVERYONE LOVES! the less likely that heel turn is going to be successful. Roman Reigns is the Carol Danvers of the WWE. Nah, Carol is actually popular. she is not the most popular female character Marvel have... but claiming she isn't popular at all is just patently false.

The irony of it all is that if they had turned him heel after the Royal Rumble in 2015, he would have likely already found his niche as a heel, gotten accepted by the hardcore audience, turned face again, and be primed to be The Guy they wanted him to be going into this year's show. But instead, they've done everything but that, and it's doing permanent damage. I was thinking for a long time that if they just eased back on his push, took a few major losses, and gave him a run with a midcard belt, that they may not even have to do the face turn. But they did so much damage to him before they gave him the US title and didn't even ease up on his push in the process that nobody bought it and now that avenue of fixing everything is gone. If he spends another year as a face, a heel turn will probably end up coming too late and nobody will buy that either.

It was brought to my attention that She Hulk's book outsold Carol's, and despite that, and the critical acclaim, they cancelled her book and kept Carol's. Between that, and Civil War 2......screw Carol Danvers.

All those "shoved down our throats" complaints that were untrue for Cena are completely true for Roman.

They're much more glaring for Roman because he has nowhere near the crowd support Cena did or does despite the fact he gets boos and distaste. But there was a time Cena was really being shoved down peoples throats. I wanna say 2009/2011 was the worst Cena related time... especially the whole Nexus debacle.

I was wavering on ordering the Rumble, which is usually my absolute favorite PPV. Goldberg being put into the thing made me think maybe no, but then Roman vs Owens was announced AGAIN and I just decided my $10 was better off elsewhere. I'm probably also not watching Wrestlemania this year because the card speculated on so far doesn't really hold my interest. I've just had enough of the booking and everything. Probably won't renew my network subscription until summer at this rate.
