It's an imperfect parallel to compare Cena's US title run with Roman as part of the Shield, I will grant you that. It is also totally unfair to act as if Roman did not exist as an individual prior to the spring of 2014.

It's incredibly insulting to diminish him as a person like that. I'm reticent to say it's racially motivated, but it's hard to ignore the history of wrestling fans marginalizing and mistreating non-white performers.

Oh fuck off with that concern troll bullshit. It's completely valid to question Roman's popularity as an individual when compared to his popularity as part of a group, and you framing this as a racial issue is insulting and just another occasion where you and a select few posters in this thread do nothing but pretend you're above the rest.

I just think it's pretty telling that wrestling fans can praise Cena for the period when he was shamelessly appropriating black culture in the same breath that they attribute Roman's success to his white co-workers.

I think when people have already pointed out your concern trolling, it's pointless to keep attempting it.

Honestly, just report him to Y2Kev and let the mods sort it out. Trying to convince a troll he's trolling isn't a good use of your time or effort when we already had the thread locked and a mod straight up tell us bans will be handed out for trolling.

Considering how mad his promos already are I eagerly anticipate the ramblings of Senile Steiner.

Thugonomics Cena was over as fuck. Crowds honestly didn't start turning on him until he started transitioning into the stale babyface he's been for the last decade.

I remember getting back into WWE in the summer of 2005 when he feuded with Jericho, I was rooting for Jericho but had no beef with Cena, still the crowd at SS was split.
I think the turning point was maybe the last match with Jericho (that was his send off) which was a full on overcome the odds moment.

Don't fear the ignore list if you don't like someone's opinions, it's better than trying to get this place shut down.

Could you imagine if Scott Steiner had hooked up with SATAN? Oh lord!

I have a black sister and a gay father. The champion could be a transsexual lizard for all I fucking care if he could shoot to draw and bring in some gate.

Seriously you can stop with that shit.

0-7 in SFV casual matches. I have won two rounds though!

I have no idea what I am doing. The bars at the bottom of the screen are foreign to me.

What's update on Stinger post injury? Do we have any new news on him?

Not to be a dick, but hopefully him not coming back beyond HOF induction. I wish the nostalgia trains would move on from current fans. I get some guys can be draws, but continuing to have these guys around is only preventing things from moving forward.
