This brings up a good point. :jbhmm:

How would Reigns handle stuff like the Michaels WM 14 deal with him not dropping the title? Or Matt Hardy sneaking out of a beatdown because he put himself & his character first?

You get jumped by the squad :birdman:

:mjlol: I just got the image of Shawn laughing his ass off at them trying to take him to wrestling court, stumbling off and doing a line before leaving the show early.

I like these new dudes, but if Enzo wilding is the biggest problem they've had so far then they would've HATED the locker rooms 10-20 years ago.
That's a testament of a better locker room
10 year ago they were fighting over Melina fukking everybody

Now they tag teaming women's champions :dj2: word to brad Maddox and Xavier woods

Yes he is wrong breh, and so are you. This is dumb because Roman has brought these points up at one time or another.

Do I think he would gone somewhere else had he been cut from FCW? Maybe? You know his father and cousins own wrestling schools right? What makes you think FCW was the be all end all for him? That it was WWE or nothing? Yeah I'm sure he would've rather gone back to his job as a furniture mover with the Usos at his sisters store.......

If history tells us anything about that family, is that they ALL stay around the business at some level, even when leaving the WWE. Why would Roman be any different than LITERALLY every other member in his family?

Before he even became a high paid wrestling star, he said he always appreciated WWE because it kept him and his family fed when he was young and he is trying to do the same thing with HIS family. He has gone on record multiple times stating his love and appreciation of the business while saying that the financial wellbeing and comfortability of his family comes first.

Nah but nikkas gotta turn their brain into mush in high school gyms every night for $15 and a bottle of Faygo to REALLY love wrestling.
Still doesnt necessarily mean he loves the business. He very well could but you cannot attribute his family working for Vince for generations as him loving WRESTLING. Orton was raised around the business too and he is still the most apathetic and lazy wrestling legacy possibly of all time. Im sure he loves to perform, thats a given. The fact of the matter is you dont know this fact any more than R=G does. And theres plenty of people in the indies that dont love the business and just are trying to get to WWE so spare the false narrative. Miz was never really an indy guy but you can tell he loves wrestling and happens to work for WWE. But saying you love the business when youre groomed to be the top guy in the top company does warrant some alternative discussion but you dont have nearly enough to say anyone is wrong. That is why im not completely disagreeing with you.

His family hasn't only JUST worked for Vince though. You know this. Them Samoans are ALWAYS wrestling, with or without Vince. Can you think of a living Anoa'i who wrestled in the past and no longer is around the business at all? If there is, I can't think of them.

And theres plenty of people in the indies that dont love the business and just are trying to get to WWE so spare the false narrative.
Yet once those wrestlers eventually make it to the WWE, whatever their intentions were, most of you wouldn't question their "passion" because they cut their teeth in the indies. :mjgrin:

Of course. The Miz has literally been this way since the Real World days. Had he not made it to the WWE, he would still love wrestling.

And had Roman made it in the NFL, I believe he would still love wrestling and speak highly of it. Every story that he has ever told about his childhood is some variation of wrestling legit being damn near a part of his everyday life, WWE aside. His dad had a ring built in his backyard JUST for his family and the Usos would always come through and they would spar on the mat.

But saying you love the business when youre groomed to be the top guy in the top company does warrant some alternative discussion but you dont have nearly enough to say anyone is wrong.

So had he been kept in the midcard forever from the jump, would that have made his point more legit?

What can really prove you love wrestling then? Are there any specific factors? Because you can have this discussion about mostly everyone but truth is we WOULDN'T be having this discussion had pretty much any other wrestler said this.

Reigns's yard is pretty timid in this day and age, majority of the locker room too busy playing video games and finger blasting IG & Twitter, to do anything crazy.

And in any work environment, just got to make sure you don't get too drunk.

I agree we probably wouldnt. But Roman has gotten to the point where he is so polarizing that anyone who gives him credit is a stan and anyone who questions or criticizes him is a hater smark. I didnt think R=G fell into that criticism this time. He doesnt really have to take his word for it anymore than you do. TBH my argument is more that Roman can be criticized without someone being a hater.

It personally makes no difference to me as long as im entertained but you cant necessarily say he is wrong if thats his opinion because none of us know for a fact. If i were you and i wanted to stop that argument, i would have just brought up the fact that people have said the same about the Rock.

And again, im not disagreeing with you per se, but im saying a job is easy to love during the good times and that might cause a side eye or two no matter who you are

Yeah, jobbers/midcard comedy acts like Rikishi, Godfather, Henry O. Godwinn, Harris Bros, Savio Vega, Mideon, and Brian Lee. :scust:Marky Mark isn't cool with anyone outshining him.

Other than Yokozuna, there were no other stars in BSK. This isn't surprising knowing Undertaker's history with burying talent, backstage and onscreen, that deserved more such as DDP, Y2J, Raven, Mike Awesome, Kanyon, Hassan, and CM Punk and putting over horrible "talent" like Khali, Maven, Kennedy, and Kozlov. Punk came out alright in the end, although it was years down the line.

:dead:

Breh, when has an argument with R=G EVER stopped after mentioning The Rock? If anything, this thread would've been derailed and gotten 200 more posts :heh:
