The part about a new name has to be discussed. I think from day one I have always found the name "Roman Reigns" ultra lame. At least Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins sound like actual human beings and not some cheesy focus group style "Trying to be way too cool" ring name. Roman Reigns sounds like a bad OVW name someone would get circa 2004. Indeed, the Reigns name actually was used before with Luther Reigns, and anything that reminds someone of Luther Reigns is NOT a good idea. Dean Ambrose should be telling some frat gimmick wrestlers that they have to get a better win/loss record or they're expelled.

Roman would at least get points from me if he told Sasha he ate peas b'fo.

You could change Roman's theme. You could change Roman's attire. You could cut Roman's hair. You could keep the microphone away from Roman at all times. You could change his name from Roman Reigns.
At the end of the day if they keep booking him as he is now he'll be booed all the way through it.

It is an interesting point about how Reigns got a lot of resentment for getting to keep similar attire and entrance music in the divorce - whilst Dean and Seth had to start over. But I think over time that the music is now so associated with Reigns it would be a mistake to change it. Like him or not it is instantly recognisable and triggers a reaction - which is pretty much all you are looking for from theme music.

Ambrose needs to spend a year just feuding with misguided fraternity houses. “I TOLD YOU, I’M NOT AN ACTUAL DEAN, THAT’S MY F***ING NAME! NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!” “What, you mean this interconnected series of dumpsters?” “...Yes.”

This should be Roman’s theme: No, just no. That song about unicorns doesn't hold a candle to this masterpiece and you know it.

Roman needs a total overhaul. New look, new theme, new direction, maybe even a new name. New actor too. I'm a fan of his, just wanted in on the fun :] and yes I still think he's a horrible choice as FotC. Good matches and a presence, but too introverted/stoic to be able to handle crowds/carry a program.

Give Roman a haircut.
In fact, give him Vince's attitude era incredible haircut.
I don't have any particular reason, but it'd amuse me.

it'd probably stop them until they saw Roman or his name... just out of having no idea who is coming out.
But the boos aren't happening because of the song.

Yes, it could. A good entrance theme can completely change the perception for a wrestler. If they went further and changed his gear and moved away from "The Big Dog" it would have an even greater chance.

Why do some people seem to want to come up with any other reason for why he's getting boos than the real one?
At Rumble '15 it was "because of Bryan" (it wasn't). At PPV's where people boo and walk out, it's because it's "cool" and "rebellious" (it's not). When his music comes on, people have Pavlovian reactions to that particular set of notes played in that particular way (we don't).
The quicker it's accepted that it's because of the dude himself and the horrible, stubborn insistence on him being something a lot of people don't want to see, the quicker this can all, maybe, stop.

You know...what if he eventually turns heel and he's just called "The Big Dawg" similar to Big Evil Taker? Just imagine that attitude and style to dude with The Big Dawg everywhere. Man that would be too great lmao.
