"OH THESE CRAZY FANS"

lol like how they say "well we are in Canada, they do always have it backwards" lol fuckers

 

[somedevil]

If any of you actually thought that was a heel turn, they literally had Cole assure you that this are just CRAZY ALTERNATE FANS 10 seconds after he left.

Vince has to be senile not see how much heel heat he has now after beating the Undertaker.

 

[Kaladin]

Roman looked legit shook

 

[Mahonay]

you marks thinking that was a heel turn lmao

he'll do a nice face promo next week

Lol yeah he's not turning and he didn't turn there. The commentators were still going "this crowd is so crazy, they'll cheer and boo whoever at random!". When Vince has the commentators trying to cover the reaction, it means they're not changing anything.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Oh my god they actually pulled out the same exact fucking script about cheering and booing. Unreal and pathetic.

We all knew they were gonna spin the chants into some "people love Roman!" bullshit.

 

[Gurrry]

Yeah, I hate that line. Just acknowledge that people don't like Roman and run with it. Don't try to play it off like this is some weird aberration of a crowd and not just a more vocal version of their normal crowds.

And people still wonder where this "irrational hate" for Roman comes from.

 

[Man God]

I love Roman.

 

[Nameless]

you marks thinking that was a heel turn lmao

he'll do a nice face promo next week

Seriously. The legit heel move would've been to come out to Taker's music.

 

[cordy]

Roman's doing the same shit as last year. Mind you last year he said that "I'm not a good guy I'm a bad guy" thing at the post-WM Raw. He just didn't get a chance to say it tonight.

 

[Foffy]

I love Roman.

As a heel, or a face?

 

[Cody_D165]

Kinda want promo time from the Hardys just to see how broken Matt will be.

That match card shot definitely says broken.

They had a Mania snapchat last night with Matt ecstatic about having "DELETED the Club's title reign" so I'm very very hopeful.

 

[excelsiorlef]

They actually have the announcers read out a disclaimer that THIS IS TOTALLY NOT A NORMAL AUDIENCE ROMAN IS NORMALLY CHEERED.

Yep.

Soldifying that it is the booking not Reigns that was the problem.


Roman was perfect in that segment... absolutely perfect but then Cole and Saxton have to literally go no no no Roman is not heel... this just isn't our traditional audience

Dumb

 

[ElRenoRaven]

HAHA. Yup he's totally turning guys. /sarcasm ROFLMAO. If he was turning Vince wouldn't have fed Correy the damn line again. It's clear as day they're gonna push him as a face.

 

[Ithil]

Nah, the plan was he would get nuclear heat and just stand there with just that line. The fact they really focused on the boos is what's interesting - could lead to some character changes.

They know this Post-Mania crowd, they know Roman would be hated. The real test is what they do next week when they think they are back in a "normal" crowd setting. Granted "normal" crowds also boo him but WWE pretends they don't.

Cena has come out to these Post-Mania crowds and soaked in boos and cracked lines about heel turns before.

 

[Man God]

As a heel, or a face?

As the big dog.

 

[Beefy]

If any of you actually thought that was a heel turn, they literally had Cole assure you that this are just CRAZY ALTERNATE FANS 10 seconds after he left.

Yeah i was too hopeful, I blame being a lil tired.

 

[Mahonay]

Vince has to be senile not see how much heel heat he has now after beating the Undertaker.

He's the BIG DAWG now and he RUNS THIS YARD after destroying The Undertaker! He's so cool!

This is Vince's thinking and it's not changing.

 

[Rimfya]

Why Corey gotta talk like that then go on Bring it to the Table and likely say the opposite.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I know this is the Raw after WM crowd, but they could not have counted on 15 minutes straight of chants.

Yes, you could.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

As the big dog.

As The Guy

Spoiler

Love Roman since day 1

 

[Mahonay]

Why Corey gotta talk like that then go on Bring it to the Table and likely say the opposite.

Vince is in their ears.

 

[klonere]

15,500 fans paid a LOT of money to boo Roman for like 5 minutes

That's the message Vince is getting.

 

[Ithil]

The Hardys brought TNA in a manner after all, they brought:

 

[Nameless]

Hopefully Broken Matt turns on Jeff here.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

HARDY'S!

THAT POP LAST NIGHT STILL THE BEST!

 

[Bluekaveli]

What a great introduction

 

[Toki767]

This is such a weird introduction.

 

[Raw64life]

Why did they make JoJo say all that lol

 

[Syder]

LOL some people...

"That's exactly what WWE wanted"

 

[friskykillface]

Long ass introduction

 

[Ultratech]

[aspiegamer]

Uh, turn the crowd back on, please.

 

[ShadyK54]

Weird intro, but damn. The Hardy Boyz. Glorious.

 

[klonere]

Did the crowd gas themselves out on Roman?

 

[Mahonay]

Lol it's all just one long troll against the fans and smarks. And a troll on his wallet. Because that's not how you bring in new fans.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Party like it's 1997

Cole straight up said he liked the Hardyz returning over Reigns beating Taker and retiring him. How the fuck are you trying to keep this dude Reigns a face?

 

[Ithil]

That weird intro by Jojo was unnecessary. Just play their music.

 

[Data West]

15,500 fans paid a LOT of money to boo Roman for like 5 minutes

Cena said time and time again that it doesnt matter if hes cheered or booed, the thing ot kill a wrestler is not to get any kind of reaction

but wrestling fans can't resist the urge to chant something even after a decade of doing it and increasing cena's wallet

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The non-traditional fans who flew from all over the world and spent thousands on your product.

What a spit in the face to their ya know, actual fans.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

lol matt hardy still acting insane as shit. Love it.

Yes... acting...

 

[CreeperBlocks]

DELETE NEW DAY
