Roberts makes comments that make him sound like one of us. Then everyone shits on him constantly during the panels. I'm not offended by it, I found it hilarious in many ways, but partially in a depressing way simply because they still have this weird contempt for the people who pay money for their product. I wonder if the contempt isn't so much for grounding himself in the sentiments of a kind of fan, and more for acting like an unprofessional dingbat. His behavior isn't doing much to sell the show, to enrich the show, or even really to add commentary worth a damn. When he's burying people for even being in matches like he did with Bianca, it creates a situation where he's actively hurting the show. Like don't get me wrong I'm always up to complain about WWE's treatment of its fans, but this is a situation where I don't think it's about that at all.

Wow he said that? Yikes, yeah Sam's going to be done with these pretty soon especially with Michael Cole there. Cole's got a lot of pull backstage these days. He's not having that. You can't bring up Triple H. It's the number one rule: You can't say Triple H. No talking about Triple H. You're not supposed to mention Triple H at all. Everyone who might be on WWE TV someday and might be thinking about mentioning Triple H, just remember: You can't say Triple H, you can't talk about Triple H and above all, you can't mention that Triple H is backstage.

The Watch Along was great because everybody was pretty much like, "We don't like Sam Roberts."

He's turned into an example and living embodiment of the more annoying aspects of the IWC. Dumb ass hot takes. Annoying as hell personality. Trying to get himself over as a character. Overinflated sense on thinking his opinions are important. He's like a leveled up version of the ol' "youtube shooters" that were a thing for a while if anyone remembers that nonsense.

As someone who used to listen to Opie and Anthony before they lost their minds, well, entirely, Sam loves to annoy the shit out of people. Usually, this would come from him sarcastically praising and inflating the ego of idiots to get them to be even more obnoxious, but he also has just zero fear of retaliation. I remember them goading him into asking MVP which was more fun, wrestling or prison.
He does love wrestling, but he's also someone who seems to thrive on making people want to smack him upside the head.
Also, given his odd appearance, I just remember it always being a bit that people couldn't wrap their head around what the hell is up with his hair, with a black cashier asking him one day, "...what are you?"

Sam Roberts survived and outlived the Opie and Anthony Show, and can handle Jim Norton with relative ease.
The WWE could literally hit him in the ballbag with hammers every 5 minutes and he'd yawn thru it all.

That really is why I don't want him on the panels anymore. He's there to maybe offer a different POV on the show, but when he's saying Bianca Belair having a title match is a waste of a Takeover match or asking why WALTER was facing Pete Dunne, he's not drumming up interest in watching the shows.

I actually watched the preshow and I was still reading this thread like "Who the f*** is Sam Roberts?"

Sam Roberts is amazing and I won’t hear a word against him.

With their continuing to blur the lines between reality and their own looney tunes universe, I kinda see them being okay with him doing this.

I still want Bianca to shut him down at a Takeover preshow. I want to see her strangle him with her ponytail. I don’t have anything against Sam Roberts, I just think the visual would be hilarious.

I still want Bianca to shut him down at a Takeover preshow. Liv Morgan put him on the spot, in the watchalong. She asked him what he thought of Bianca's performance, and called him out for saying she wasn't good. He sort of fumbled out that he didn't say she wasn't good, but that she didn't deserve a one on one Takeover match. Billie Kay smeared a cupcake over his face.
