Are we all 100% in agreeance that "Roman Reigns" is a failure?

[NYChase718]

I bet roman wins the belt
And corbin wins money in the bank
And they continue their classic fued for summerslam

Ya really take this play fighting shyt to heart

 

[YakSpiller]

Last time I saw Roman screen cap, he was either putting dog food on Corbin or eating dog food himself.

Keep him with corbin feuding over dog food

What the hell has been happening?

Roman is over pushed , he has zero charisma. Coming to ring and looking constipated is not it.
They eliminate the chamber match and just give him mania champion match with zero explanation. He going to beat Goldberg and Goldberg will shake his hand and try to get the fans to cheer him on.
Next mania he beats the Rock and Rock raises his hand and panders to the crowd .
Roman is going to make this the first mania that doesn’t sell out. I hope the PPV is a failure and Fox puts them on after 2:00 am on a side network or cancels them . Roman equals failure.

Don't read the replies brehs.

I read the replies. I dapped some of the posts in here.

But some of It is the same stuff y'all have said years ago.


Roman hasn't been in the title picture for over a year. We didn't see a thread like this for awhile because of that. As soon as he got a title shot now, boom here this thread comes.

Calling the man a failure, is a bit much. Roman is very good performer. Did y'all expect him to be Stone Cold or The Rock level of popularity cuz if that's case then 90% of your favorite wrestlers are failures

Most have already said it. The plan to make Roman a legit n°1 guy was constantly self sabotaged by mindbogglingly bad booking. It's pretty crazy how we are in year 5 or 6 of this and they are still haven't been able to pull it off. Specially with a guy that's really good in the ring, has "the look" and actually has natural charisma. But they never play to his strengths for a sustained amount of time:

This has been a constant on his career:

-He gets naturally over when he doesn't have to do much acting nor script memorizing/reading. As @stro said, once he gets the crowd behind him, they immediately play to his weaknesses and try to shoehorn him in a character he's not good at doing.

-He's booked in long ass feuds against people that are not very over or that don't have the talent to work a long rivalry. And the most shocking part: Roman loses a fukk ton for a "n°1 guy". So instead of him being a bad ass that rolls through "lesser" opponents, he gets stuck for months winning 3 matches and losing 1 big one (I'm making up that ratio but y'all get the point). It makes no fukking sense and goes against anything WWE has done with their favorites. My guess on this is that WWE is so afraid of fans booing him because "he always has to win" that they make him take Ls that end up meaning nothing for his opponents but end up hurting Roman.

-When he finally wins the belt, he doesn't have a legit run with it to establish him as the real deal. Now, some of this has been bad luck with injuries or illnesses, but for a guy that's so weirdly booked, he badly needs an "ace run" and he still hasn't had one in 5 years.


The Braun feud has been the exception to the rule and it's truly a shame.


So yeah, he's a failure but Roman is the last one that should be getting blamed for it.

I think part of the reason Vince keeps fukking Roman over with the shytty angles and promos whenver Roman starts getting positive reactions is because no matter how bad the Cena hate got, whenever he'd do a big crazy gimmick spot or did a bad ass beat down and threw the stairs at someone, all those people booing would erupt. And then he could go right back into JBL is poopy wacky Nickelodeon guy and those people would be back to jeering, but then he'd cut some money promo out of the blue and he'd have them again for a segment.

But Roman doesn't have the promo abilities that Cena has, nor the naturally goony personality that Cena has so even if those promos would still be terrible as done by Cena, at least it would fit. Batista really should be the blueprint for Roman, not Cena.

At this point I'd just do Hollywood Reigns and let him style on everyone. Fiend should help him beat Berg

I'm down with this

reading through this thread my mind is breaking at the fact that it’s RECENT and not upped from 4 years ago

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I don't get the random Roman hate again. Dude wasn't in the title picture for over a year. He's one of the best performers in the company, and his matches are always entertaining. He deserves to be champion.

These mother fukkers are really trying to push the "WWE is constantly shoving Roman down our throats" narrative again
These same dudes a few months ago were praising Roman's presence and star power because it would help Keith Lee after the survivor series match. Now he's a failure again who's not a star.
These same dudes were praising Roman on multiple occasions on some of his matches are back to saying he can't wrestle.
These same dudes who were complaining about how WWE was about to capitalize off Roman's cancer and claimed he most likely faked it to get over and was shocked and mad WWE did nothing with it.
These same dudes who spent months in Smackdown threads claiming Roman needed to be in the main event scene instead of facing Corbin forever.
Some of these same dudes who were actually okay with Bray vs Roman happening at mania suddenly are not okay with Roman because GOLDBERG has the title.

There is an agenda and it's the anti-Roman agenda.

This post makes zero sense, and people like you are what's wrong with wrestling. AEW caters to geeks like you and that's why they can't get over a million. Reigns is popular, good in the ring, and a good spokesperson for the company. Is he as popular as Rock? No, But he's not a failure by any stretch.
