The fact that Roman immediately owned up to his mistake gives me the slight impression that he got caught using something he knew he shouldn't have had.
Yeah that's probably a fair take.
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.
If we're talking about death threats and social media harassment and what have you, that's fair game, but extending it to crowd chants and boos is ridiculous, especially since he has hardly gotten the most abusive ones in the history of the business. He hasn't had crowds telling him to die or throwing shit at him. Yeah it's been sustained but that is something that WWE should have addressed by adapting to it rather than forcing him in the meat grinder night-in, night-out, like it has always been in the business
If wrestling fans only ever went along with what was put in front of them and beared sole responsibility like you guys are trying to say, we'd have never gotten the Rock. We'd have never gotten the REAL New Day. We miiiiiiiiight have gotten Stone Cold but would've been way different. Wrestling is give and take and yeah there is a point where people need to stop hatewatching it, but there's also a point where the guys running the show need to work with their audience.
I hope that with the deemphasis of individual star power in terms of selling the show that the WWE can move towards an ensemble setup where there isn't just ONE top guy and he isn't just stuck in that role whether it works or not like Roman has been. If it is legitimately that damaging to a human being and if he really can't handle it, other fans of his (because surprise, despite what I've been saying here, I like Roman, I just hated the show they built around his ridiculous booking) should really hope for that too.
