Yall can sit here and fantasy book all you want with what I agree are good ideas but the facts are that Vince isn't trying to please 20-40 year old males near as much as everyone else

Vince wants the women and children while assuming we will hang on for the ride almost regardless (which isn't really a poor assumption). Unless something changes drastically it will be BROCK vs Roman at Mania and Roman will beat him whether BROCK resigns or not


The only remaining question is does Roman stay face the whole time? I think it's most likely Vince leaves him a face all the way through then MAYBE, if the crowd is still shitting on him he will turn him but he probably still won't cause we all know how he is

Was last night a heel turn for Reigns? Absolutely not. First off as I said earlier if he turns we will know. You don't turn someone of that caliber in some ambiguous way. Second off if you want to turn him why have Braun win in a semi heel way of just moving out of the way? Why not let Braun win clean and Roman snap out of frustration OR let Roman win and finally turn on the fans tonight?? It just doesn't add up to a turn


Now, it could be the early beginnings of a slow turn but that's generally not WWE's style and if there were places for me to gamble against it I would with a lot of pesos

If they decide to keep the belt on him that long -- which I doubt at this point -- I think he'll likely face Rollins, Balor, Bray, Braun... he won't face Reigns again until he drops the title. If he faces Reigns at SS, he's gonna drop it then.

It's so annoying that Vince keeps pushing Roman down our throats. It's like he's oblivious to the boos that almost blow the roof off the joint when Roman wins to close out a PPV.

RAW after Wrestlemania 2 years ago in Dallas, crowd is always hot and wacky that night. People were pissed that Roman won that night before and everyone they trotted out got a "Better than Roman" chant. Social Outcasts got that chant.

I actually like Braun Strowman. Dude is a beast and you can tell he's worked on getting better in the ring.

I was rooting for Joe last night. I get that they cater to Lesnar and he's a special talent. But he hasn't defended since WM. Joe isn't young, so I'm hoping he gets more opportunities.

Roman just comes across as a major douche, and there's no cure for that.

They are not oblivious. They are happy he's getting such a big reaction and think its the same as the boos Rock was getting early in his career and Cena got when he was at his peak. I don't think its remotely the same heat but the fact that he's getting a reaction is something at least.

The real thing they are they are oblivious to is the record low Raw ratings almost every week. They are struggling to hit 3 million viewers now with Roman or the women main eventing most Raws.

Roman is nowhere near the Rock. Not in the ring, and certainly nowhere near the charisma. He just doesn't have that.

Brand split, RAW being 3 hours, NXT, 205 Live...too much content. I actually didn't mind the brand split, but when you deplete your resources so much that you feel justified putting the belt on Jinder Mahal, it's bad. The US title has more credibility than the HW title.

Bobby Roode could come in and wipe the floor with half of either roster. But then there'd be next to nothing in NXT.

I get what y'all are saying about Roman though. It's just frustrating to see someone who most people loathe being pushed as the top face. Turn him heel and push him for all I care. Just don't insult us.
