We'll see of course the ratings will be up this week since nothing is competing but I believe people would like to see Dean more than some of the others. At least people I know personally

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm gonna laugh if setting the triple threat for Battleground turns out to have been a work with Roman's suspension being used to explain why its being put off to SummerSlam.
I mean like Big Show has a legitimate physical handicap to work with. That's extra disgustin'.
Yeah the ratings for this week are interesting but I wouldn't take them as a sign of anything.
I'm pretty sure the Ascension will also cater your party for you, mow your lawn, take your sister to the prom, and shuffle for the nickels you might toss at their feet.
When Konnor comes back, the Ascension are going to return as Ascension
I think Sunflower is on to something here.
Case in point, here's Roman Reigns at the airport a few days ago, brushing off vultures looking to get their mint in box Funk-O-Pops autographed for eBay, and a TMZ reporter asking about arm wrestling The Rock.

I personally can't blame the victim here. Instead, I blame the culture that surrounds him.

The Big Show has a sense of humor. If you can learn to laugh at yourself, nothing anyone else says can hurt you.
Frankly, I get more upset when people trash my family or friends for unjust reasons.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure he actually called it "the Falcon's Arrow" because he's Michael Cole and he's terrible.

Well and that's an easy call, too. Because drug addiction, and how SOCIETY treats people is terrible. It ensures people that show weakness stay weak and addicted.
...that Funko Pop guy. Terrible.
Well he called Ambrose's double-arm DDT the Pedigree instead of Dirty Deeds last night.

Big Show and Kane don't violate wellness or get injured
Another thing I'm forgiving you people for. I know you fought that as hard and as long as you could, but like all else, the truth can't hide.
Show and Kane rise while the rest fall. Always.

I've always been #TeamBigShow
EXCEPT WHEN HE BEAT UP RICARDO THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR T_T
I just hope to see the same sympathy for any other performer who gets busted for substances.

This was one of the best things, Tomlet.
Somewhere there's a better GIF that also includes the Bray and Dean eliminations
Best PPV of the year and in the running for all time

Imagine being both adored and hounded in public, and lambasted in the spotlight. Even film stars don't have to put up with that, yet we wonder why they "go crazy."
We absolutely should be sympathetic of Roman, not "well meme'ing" him because we don't enjoy his position in the professional wrestling hierarchy or his "move set."

Certainly. There was a time and place where I was like FUCK EM, DRUG ADDICTS
But it's a very real, human problem. I learned.
Yeah. Britney's 2002 meltdown makes SO much sense when you start to understand how relentless people are.

We're not saying he's a drug abuser, but it could be.
Addiction is a potential hazard with ANY drug.

Why are we assuming it's roids? Why are we assuming anything?

It could be anything aside from pot. When you're under the gun, you may seek refuge in a number of different ways. I just hope he gets that 30 days to catch his breath and come back.
yeah well fuck this goddamn avatar bet

What are your thoughts on kids who harm their own bodies because of constant bullying at school? Should we blame the kid for not being able to handle the pressures of growing up and fitting in?
Imagine you are living your dream of becoming a professional wrestler and at every show, you are constantly booed, fans chant "You can't wrestle" yet you are booked as a face? Fans treat Roman like garbage, and at time when he needs help the most, they treat him even more like garbage. That's pretty disgusting. Even in 2016 when people are even more alert to people who are bullied and feel like outcasts.
This would be the perfect time to turn Roman heel, though. He's going to have massive heat when he comes back and if he returns, fucks over Dean, and fully plays into some of the heelish aspects of his character then the dude is fucking MADE and can turn a negative into a positive.
Well I hope if it isn't PEDs that Roman gets treatment or his testing regimen gets stepped up to make sure he doesn't have a real problem.
But most of these violations end up being for roids or something in some kind of supplement like Ricardo's fat burners brought up earlier, so it's both more likely to be what's going on (making it a fair assumption if we can only guess) and it's even possible that it was simply a legitimate mistake on Roman's part.
Did we know he had personal demons before this? Because that's the only way your blame game makes any sense.

You said it better than I can. And people usually will fire back "Well he's a grown ass man, he should be able to handle it"
We are not equipped as human beings to endure nonstop torment, however light it may feel. It's simply not something we are made to handle.

Get DDP on the case. Can't wait for "The Resurrection of Roman Reigns" to hit Netflix.
I like how you're going on this big diatribe without even knowing why he was suspended. For all you know he might have just taken a supplement with a banned substance in it he didn't know about.

The spectrum of reactions in this thread is priceless. WWE delivering in ways they haven't in some time.
While that's a possibility, I don't even think my position is exclusive to him abusing anything at all. Roman is a walking "Why don't he love me, man?", compounded under the celebrity microscope.
