Keller tears into Reigns over recent "I'm already a heel, so why turn" ESPN interview

[Berniewood Hogan]

The controversy and discussion of Reigns as an entity is entirely more compelling than his character or most of his storylines

They're working the smarks these days.

It's not drawing though..people still want more Bryan vs AJ..BRYAN VS Nakamura....more Joe and Seth...Miz..Elias...Braun...Rusev...everyone has a buzz except Reigns.

Whats ridiculous about reigns is

Austin and rock by 2002 after 5 years were about to retire and legends in that short time

2013...5 years later reigns is still being forced and pushed as if its 2013 and the bullshyt is still not sticking

 

[El Cocodrilo]

Roman Reigns’ legacy will probably just be a casualty of cokeboy’s senility, but maybe not... who knows what his role will be 5-10 yrs from now.

Currently it’s fukking lame af tho and its been trash ever since they split up the shield yet still had this dude coming out with shield music and tactical vest

One of the biggest flops in WWE history. He's probably #1.

But it won't matter because the company keeps making money hand over fists. They're too big to fail at this point. If attendance ever seriously drops, they've got the money from the tv deals and the network.

We still have room for epic embarrassments. I think an arena walk out will happen at some point. Like if they do Bryan vs AJ for the WWE belt and have Reigns follow it to end the show...something unique could happen to humiliate the WWE on the mainstream level.

Reigns character is a badass, entitled a$$hole. Sounds heelish but he doesn't cheat, run away, or shyt on the fans.

It’ll never be enough people to really be a thing if they walk out. There’s still plenty of kids and families at their shows so they’re fine on that front

Truth. It's going to be fascinating looking back on his push down the line. Especially when people in the company now either retire or don't give a shyt anymore and start speaking more candidly about what happened backstage.

Someone fill in the gaps for me because I’m not reading all that and I don’t listen to these guys. Maybe he already touched on this before, but did he have this same energy for Triple H when he said the same exact thing in an interview last year?

“People can look at Roman Reigns and say, ‘The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,’ but Roman Reigns sells tickets,” said Levesque. “Roman Reigns gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, ‘I don’t understand why they don’t turn Roman Reigns heel!’ Isn’t he already?

“If you believe what you believe, and you’re saying, ‘How can they not turn him heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!’ If that’s your belief, then isn’t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he’s a heel. We’re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.”

So these guys are wrestling analysts or historians or whatever cornball title they use to describe themselves but he’s getting pissy that a company man regurgitates the company philosophy that has already been stated by one of the most important figures in said company?

The WWE has said like 100 times they don’t really give a fukk about heels and faces and these lames are still going red in the face bytching about it. Learn to give it up like I did. Jesus.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Is Keller's podcast worth subbing? I don't give a shyt about the weekly reviews, just the special guests.

Everyone that labels Roman as a draw look delusional...so hell yeah they go give major criticism. Guy is doing horrible promos and was on top during half empty arenas.

I dont think so. I sometimes listen to the Austin ppv reviews...

That didn’t answer my question.

Did he address HHH when he said this same exact thing last year? It’s yes or no.
