Look, the WWE pushed Cena to the moon despite all the boos, and that was 11 years ago. This is small stuff to them and they don't give a flying hoot what people think because they are still gonna buy.
Nah. Unless Reigns suddenly drops dead, I can't see WWE salvaging this at all.
Has Vince ever watched a Nakamura match?
+1 for this.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Uh Cena was over before that happened though

what is it?
It is what Vince wants and no one else matters. If it weren't for KO and Sasha I wouldn't have a subscription any more.

Stang and Vader
yeah, it's really hit and miss so far, as you'd expect.
What about Beach Blast?!
Reigns was also over (though not as over as Cena 2004-early 2005) before he got pushed to the moon, so what is your point?

"Goddamn it why aren't the fans buying into Roman?
"Maybe he needs to pin the most popular guy in the company"
because he wasn't anywhere near as over as Cena was and Cena is talented

I can't get over how bad that triple threat ending was
Like SHOCKING bad
Brock was getting Austin level cheers, Ambrose number 2, Reigns booed. What a shit show

I think there is some truth to it Re: Roman and the boos. It's become a part of his character. I'm sure some people boo because they genuinely don't like him. But I'll bet others do because it's fun to do. It allows them to participate in the product. Just like chanting "WHAT?!?" or "YES".

Vince probably asked Nakamura how Shane was doing. Because all those asian countries are the same, right?
He's easily the tallest guy to get the "HHH handshake" photo so far
Or maybe, just maybe, people boo Roman because they don't like him.
That's quite a theory.
I think this is going to be the Fast Lane PPV's gimmick.
Roman represents WWE.
WWE is the biggest heel in the smark meta-narrative of Their Favs v WWE, the invented by fans and longest running angle in pro wrestling today.
Its simple.
He was over in a three man group. Not on his own.

I'm sure some don't. And the entire thing started because of how bad the WWE bungled his entire push. But it's beyond that now. It's out of their control. It's to a point where the boo's are going to probably follow ROman his entire career, no matter what kind of push he gets or what his character is doing.
The point I'm making is that they will push their guy regardless of how much fans boo.

I can't wait for delusional people to believe that this will somehow "get Roman out of Vince's system" the same way letting him win the title twice before was going to "get it out of his system."
Roman is going to be booed unbelievably merciliessly for the next 5 weeks.

Do people seriously not remember Cena being MASSIVELY over before the crowd went 50/50 on him?
There a link to this video? WWE's new site is a mess.

The WWE probably figures boo's are better than silence or indifference. If you're booing you still bought a ticket.

You're not wrong. If you ask me, Roman deserves better.
And they're not wrong to think that.

That's just the Reigns apologists.

I love the chumpstain challenge
I think the boos come from shitty writing trying to give him the Daniel Bryan storyline about conquering the odds. It just doesn't work.
Reigns looks like a bad ass motherfucker, so let him act like a bad ass motherfucker. The only times he's gotten cheers was when he was a bad ass motherfucker.

Maybe... But cena got booed a ton less when he was doing his US title run.
This was also after being in the Kimura lock.

It was started when Meltzer said that Roman was gonna be the guy. Before that, everyone liked him. The boos have been following him since then. They start to pick up around WM time just like last year.

Ugh.
The match itself was actually pretty damn good, but fuck that ending. That was even beyond Cena tier no selling.
