Well, it’s official. WWE is content for the ratings to continue to decline by shoving Roman Reigns further down our throats. Muted crowd booing, piped in cheers, and commentary that is trying so hard to sell him to us is laughable and is not working. Furthermore, Vince is said to be determined, no matter the cost, to make it work.
WWE has stated that there are no real bad guys or good guys anymore. Reality – yes there freaking are. Jericho is a bad guy, Miz is a bad guy, and so on. Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, Cesaro, and others are good guys. How hard is that? John Cena is kind of a bad guy most of the time, but we respect the man and despise the character so it’s a trade off of sorts. He kind of gets a pass there. Reigns is not respected, awful on the mic, mediocre in the ring, and disliked by casual fans. John Cena is the opposite. There is a big difference there. Guess what? Roman is not going to be booked as a bad guy anytime soon and we will all suffer the consequences.
Unless Vince can be shown that we don’t want him as the top guy OR they book him to beat Cena, not likely, we will be served a heaping, steaming pile of grade A Roman Reigns monkey crap for dinner every Monday night. His merchandise sales are unfortunately doing well and that does not help. WWE has not figured out that fans will by things that look cool and that doesn’t necessarily mean they like the person you have representing them. Still, merchandise or no we will get him more than we want no matter what.
Roman Reigns was a great bad guy during the
Shield. However, it was pretty cool when he became a baby face.
I, myself, wanted him to get the belt when
they gave it to Seth Rollins…and I bet a lot of other women felt the same
way.
Sure, it was great entertainment when Dean Ambrose got to show Seth some hate, but
we, the audience – especially of the female persuasion, kept waiting for RR to
become champ.
Now, he finally got there, and you media
types are downing him. Why? Probably because he’s such a hottie!
Sure, you give us that drivel about how
he’s not good on the mic. Quite frankly, I don’t think much of the ones you
mentioned. I don’t see them as being all that wonderful.
