Zack and Emma broke up because they were on different shows*. Yet Nikki/Cena, Rennee/Ambrose get to stay on the same show.

my ass
They put Cass and Carmella on different shows for a reason.
Yeah I'm not even reading the WrestleMania thread anymore. Too many posts from people who are 100 percent certain they know exactly how WWE works despite only tuning in for Mania season.
Even us wrestling nerds are willing to admit we don't know everything and things are often muddled with WWE, so it can be hard to get a good read. Considering the company it's self acts very flippantly with their own decisions and direction.
WWE tries to be everything to everyone, and that's why you get the weird amalgamation that currently makes up the product. It's all over the place.

I honestly believe they don't think that way, but choose to do so because are either trolls or extremely soured on "internet fans" to the point that they think confrontation and being close minded is the only way to "discuss".
Every now and then I quote them to try and have a discussion, but only until it becomes clear what type of poster they are. Some are hard to deal with but are not bad, others are just impossible.

Usual suspects? Well most of them get put on ignore. Just as bad as wcw revisionists.

But I do know everything!
I read this as Vince McMahon talking to Roman Reigns after that opening segment of Raw.

That's what I think is funny. "Oh he's too entertaining, need to be not entertaining to get the right reaction"
Like you're making a TV show you carnies
And that's why you are here and not in the filth section known as OT.
Now I can't read it any other way lol

bow wow
I brought this up in the Mania OT but I'll mention it here too.
I don't think Cena even at the height of Super Cena got so consistently shit on by fans as Roman does. Even during Cena at his worst you'd still get fairly pro-Cena crowds at times, smark crowds at times, and they were usually legitimately half and half crowds everywhere else. Roman gets booed everywhere now.

There's this too. People being contrarian just because. Not actually contributing to logical discourse, just baiting and detailing. Typical annoying internet garbage posting.
That is for sure, except for that one time in One Night Stand. Cena had the advantage of not only not having terrible scripted promos, but also he was over for some time before becoming super Cena.
Plus, Cena was stupid over prior to the whole Super Cena booking.

Which is weird, since Roman is a way better worker at this point in his career than Cena was.
Cena and Reigns shouldn't be compared in terms of pushes because Cena's rise is a completely different situation. Reigns is like Lex Express Luger on steroids mixed with the actual length of Cena's push but with the hate of something beyond Cena's worst period. Idk if anyone will ever be as hated as Reigns is right now as a face. This is unreal and honestly historic. Make sure you tell your kids this in the future.
"I was there when Reigns was booed!"
"I was there when Reigns was booed!"
I will say the kind of heat Roman has right now reminds of Cena at One Night Stand. But on a much larger scale.
RAW is at the Nassau Coliseum next week, so it could be just as crazy as last night.
What I'm going to do is go back to gaming side and see what's left for me; whether it'll be in this thread... whether it'll be out of this thread. I know that over the last several months I've lost a lot of things and one of them has been my smile. And, and I know it doesn't mean a whole lot to everybody else, but it means a lot to me. So I have to go back and fix myself, and take care of myself, and I have to go back and I have to find my smile because somewhere along the line I lost it and I don't care, really, I don't care if it's unpopular, and I don't care if people want to make fun of me because I'm an emotional guy. But posting in WrassleGAF is all I've ever wanted to do and over the last year I got to do it. And whether you like me or not, I just want to tell you that last year was the most wonderful year of my life. And if I never do get to do it again, it'll be okay because I got to live one full year as being the number one guy in this thread and it was the single saddest year of my life. And I have Data West to thank, and I have everybody here to thank, and it means a lot to me and I'm gonna go to gaming side now. Okay?

I was there to boo Reigns at Mania 31!
I've been bringing this up every now and then, but workrate is not the most important thing. Having a personality and being able to connect to the crowds/fans is, be it as a face or as a heel. Roman got the short end thanks to scripts and booking, maybe, if he was able to find his own direction, he could become something huge too. You never know until it happens.
That's not fair.
Cena had to work with The Great Khali, Chris Masters, Carlito, etc...
Reigns gets the cream of the crop in terms of opponents.
The talent pool Roman has had is way better than the talent pool Cena had

Cena couldn't even run the ropes properly.

Yes but Cena's promos were largely responsible for getting him over.
Thank you, Zach! Thank you, Zach! Thank you, Zach!
Bluekaveli put me on his Ignore List because I like WCW! That has to be it!
Aw, man. That's sad.

Id like Roman so much more if they didnt overproduce his matches.
Super man punch is damn awful. He does good moves but they just feel so overly scripted and monotone.
I dont mind him beating Taker because Taker shouldnt be beating anybody. It hurts that he got to beat Bray who is always getting screwed over.
Roman is fun to watch because of the audience.
Unfortunately, I feel theyll just ride out the smark audience and get him back to his routine when the heat dies down to normal levels.

Zach pictured, losing his smile
4 years in (which is how long Reigns has been here) Cena was already on Raw.
I saw Zach at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, Oh, like youre doing now?
I was taken aback, and all I could say was Huh? but he kept cutting me off and going huh? huh? huh? and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like Sir, you need to pay for those first. At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually to prevent any electrical infetterence, and then turned around and winked at me. I dont even think thats a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yelling "I DID IT!" really loudly.

In WWE personality matters significantly. It's why even though Cena was a bad worker at this point in his career, he was still over with a good portion of the audience.
Just look at Apollo Crews. An absolutely killer worker, and is ice fucking cold. No heat. Heels get cheered when they beat him up. Because his personality and character sucks.
The annoying this is Reigns does actually have personality there, but it's not suited for a top white meat baby face whatsoever.

I'm PMing this to Data West.
Cena's first Wrestlamania was 20. In 21 he was fighting for the title. By 22, 23 he was already headlining.
So Reigns went from being a a stable in 29, 30...to headlining 3 in a row.
No attempt at personality will be able salvage Roman after retiring the Undertaker. He's too far gone.
He came in in 2002. After WrestleMania 18. So he just had nothing for Mania 19.
