The problem is, Vince doesn't care. He wants it, so it'll happen. f*** anyone who doesn't agree with him. He will actively try to bully them into accepting his masturbatory programming and then grin as his daughter and yes-men call him a genius. Maybe he was a genius. He ain't one anymore. He's creatively bankrupt, a stubborn old man with no idea how to create a star in 2017. I quote this a lot, but somebody here(I forget who) put it perfectly. I'm paraphrasing: "Vince had his finger perfectly on the pulse of the 80's, and in the 90's, he knew when to listen to the right people. Somewhere in the 00's, he lost the ability to listen and delegate, and started to push his own vision over what the fans wanted." That was me and I stand by that, especially since I said this way before the Roman push happened, and from "sufferin' succotash" to "say Rusev has a small penis and call Lana a whore while very much being the hero of the story" Vince is so many different kinds of removed from everything.

If WWE are worried that a heel turn for Roman might affect his merch sales, it's no big deal. The solution is to turn his fans heel with him. Have him go out there and say some shit like "For all the fans out there who support me, I appreciate it. For all the fans out there who hate me, you got two choices, deal with it, or kiss my ass" So basically Diesel.

I don't need to make a new Roman Reigns Thread, I'm just gonna bump this one.
So he beat Braun Strowman with one spear, no sold everything he went through in that match and is most likely going to go into Mania and face Undertaker as a BADASS BABYFACE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE IN.
So... refer to the OP...

Yeah, as I said elsewhere, when my 60 something year old mother, who* is a huge Roman fan, calls bullshit on his match and wonders why anyone should care about Roman, I have zero issues saying WWE has blown it.
*or was? I guess that remains to be seen.

Roman has done what no other wrestler has ever done for me. He has completely turned me off from watching an entire brand. There's no chance I'm ever watching Raw when he's a featured player; and honestly I wouldn't have even been watching tonight if I wasn't sick and bedridden for the night.
He's awful. His matches are awful. Everything about him is awful.

I guess that remains to be seen. This booking was so bad and so forced that Shai 's children who were fans of Roman before the match said they're done watching Roman Reigns wrestle after it ended the way it did. This match actually turned CHILDREN off to seeing the dude, not even Cena could do that.
That's a dire sign.

Yeah cool, we get youre a Roman Reigns Fan, and that's fine, but you're basically coming in this thread to troll what was a horribly booked result that doesn't make your guy look any better in the light of people they're trying to win over with him so... have fun with your victory because it was much more of a grand scheme defeat.

My son just brought his Roman stuff out to me and said he's giving it all to his cousin. He is not kidding about this. Holy Shit.

Im so glad I don't watch RAW . Basically the reason I never could get behind Braun is because I knew they would just feed him to Roman. But on a throwaway feud to WM is even stupidier than I expected

We get that you're Roman Fans, and that's not the problem, but this Booking was TERRIBLE, it not only made Braun look terrible but it made your boy look even worse, seriously...

That is horrid. That does him no favors, it actually makes him a fluke.

Like you in the Braun vs Big Show Thread? It happens. And a lot of people thought it was shit.

Just the dirt worst.
I used to feel bad a little bit for Roman. It's gone now.
Is it his fault? No. But I don't feel bad for him anymore.

It's going to get worse, guys. Roman is beating Taker at Mania (Yeah, fan base will LOVE that) and I have money on him beating Goldberg the next night on RAW so Vince can have His Guy on top. Probably for a while until face Seth takes it off him.
They are just determined to do this. The fan base may be sick of it now, they have beaten us over the head with it, but, in the words of Hamilton: "OK, so we're doing this."
