Do you think Roman Reigns' cancer diagnosis was a work?

Lots of wrestling fans out there are floating a conspiracy theory that Roman Reigns' leukemia diagnosis and battle was a work in order to get him over and cheered by the crowd, because he had been pushed as the next chosen one to succeed Cena by WWE but instead was getting booed everywhere he went.
It's a vocal minority for sure but most wrestling fans seemed to be insulted and outraged at someone for even making such a suggestion.

I think it's something that sounds good on paper, but when you look at it from WWE's perspective, a publicly traded company worth an insane amount, with a shite ton of employees with no reason to stay silent, nah.
It looks like it could only end badly for WWE and Roman to push that as a work.

I dont even like wrestling but no.
Faking cancer is up there with one of the shittiest things someone can do.

It's shite like this that really makes me start to question if wrestling is fake.

What about a heart attack?
Ric Flair heart attack??

I know that WWE is scripted, but that would be pretty shitty of them to use a cancer diagnosis as a storyline.

Fritz Von Erich faked a heart attack too AFTER some of his sons had already died.

Why would it be? There's 0 competition and they're a publicly traded company who values their licensing deal with the largest toy maker in the world.
Of course there are people who still believe that Austin caused Owen's fall to get revenge for his neck being broken.

They have become a very conservative company due to no viable competition. There is no way they would do something like that.

PJ did the same thing in here

Yes, I have thought that. It wouldn’t surprise me at all.

I'm guessing you're the kind of person who isn't "surprised" by much but actually is.

I like the fan theory that Owen Hart became Owen Wilson better.

u know what happens whe n u guess...

No way. I dont think they are "above that" from a moral perspective, but they do a TON of work with Make A Wish and cancer kids to help their public image. Doing a work about someone having cancer would shite all over that. It's bad business.

The internet wrestling community is absolutely the most pathetic group of people I’ve ever heard. I’m convinced it’s a bunch of neckbeards wearing fedoras that do nothing but watch Attitude era reruns on YouTube.
The comments i read on RAW recaps are nothing but the same thing over and over again.
“I’m never watching WWE. It’s ruined. The product is stale and terrible. I’m a grown arse man and the should write for me. The writers are terrible. God I can’t stand to watch this shite anymore!”
The following weeks RAW...
Same comments and vowing to never watch again...
Guess who’s been watching every week and will never stop watching but just wants to tell everyone they’re enraged online and they’re never watching again over and over.
They’re the equivalent to “can I speak to the manager?” Women.

Almost accurate. Just need a plug for how AEW is going to give WWE a run for its money
Then the same posters are posting in the live threads the next week, the week after and so on.

I don't think it was but I'm definitely not excited for him to be pushed out of this world again. He'll be the champ again by June

If you watched RAW last night, Roman came out to cheers and then Seth came out for a promo with Roman and the direction they were headed very well looked like Seth was going to give Roman his spot vs. Brock at Mania. I was actually surprised it didn't happen because the way the promo was going it just seemed like that was the end result.
