April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841178 Can I get the title on this changed to Roman Reigns as the worst booked wrestler ever? Just pull up the "political hit" thread: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/33386-political-hit/
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841190 Ok. Road to Mania #5. The Roman Express. We'll finally get Roman over at Wrestlemania 35!
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841201 How over was he last night ? A mix of boos and apathy. After 4 years of straight push to the moon, that's pretty poor honestly. Blaming the "annoying smart fans" is a cop out at this point. This simply doesn't work. It weighs in on the whole product because no one gets nearly the same opportunity and it leaves a sour taste every year at Mania (and during the entire build). Last night was almost Vince losing his shit and tell the people "Ok, you don't like Roman ? I'll fuck him up myself then !". Of course he'll wake up today thinking about new ways of getting him over as the babyface Ace...
April 9, 20187 yr Author comment_5841207 He's the least well pushed top star of all time. He jobs endlessly. The build-up to this match was Brock kicking his ass every week then beating him clean at Mania. I can't think of another WWE wrestler in history put in a position to fail as many times as Roman Reigns. I actually feel bad for the guy cause he's a great worker, his promos have improved so much, he's got great physical charisma in the ring and seems charming outside of it and a mixture of woeful, indecisive booking and mostly inaccurate fan narratives have probably torpedoed him as a top star now when all they had to do was put the fucking belt on him after the first Lesnar match three years ago and have done with it.
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841209 There is no way Reigns can be a top babyface right now. The WWE needs a hell of a plan to do something because what they did last night, it will be difficult to recover from. Maybe it is really time for that heel turn for Reigns.
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841213 They should have just put the title on Braun. Let's get crazy and actually give the fans what they want.

The WWE needs a hell of a plan to do something because what they did last night, it will be difficult to recover from. Maybe it is really time for that heel turn for Reigns. I don't think even that will work on its own. Last night was tantamount to a burial. They should have just put the title on Braun. Let's get crazy and actually give the fans what they want. Tbh I thought that was the long term end game. Resolute the Lesnar/Reigns thing that's been hanging over them for a couple of years, do a proper Reigns title run for once then put the belt on Braun in 9-12 months.

April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841221 Hogan won less than 73% of his matches? i was told that stat i quoted and total caerre racord hogan is at around 70% based i what i was told
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841224 Hogan won less than 73% of his matches? i was told that stat i quoted and total caerre racord hogan is at around 70% based i what i was told Surely if you were going to make statements like that you would verify it yourself to make sure it was correct before stating it as fact? And the irony of you telling FMKK to "check you self" when you don't even know if what you're posting is true and are going off what someone told you!
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841228 Hogan won less than 73% of his matches? Based on wrestling data (which is incomplete and far from perfect) across his whole career he has a win% of 70.42, but if you look at his 'ace' run in wwf which I put as 1984-1992 he has a win% of 79.4% reigns has a career win % of 71% but since he became a pushed singles guy in 2014 he has a win % of 84%
April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841240 You really can't compare between eras though. Hogan's air time from 1984-1989 probably is less than a year of a main event guy now. So 4 years of Roman is insane when you consider the air time that requires.

April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841249 They have waited too long to just pull the trigger on Roman Reigns with a long run as champion. He's not The Guy anymore, if he ever was in the first place. He can't be. Reigns lost to the guy who has been booked as superior to him at every turn on the same show that another guy he has been pushed for the last year as "retiring" last year came back, a huge UFC draw had her first match to set up her place at the top of the company, and the beloved guy to whom he was unnecessarily compared returned after a long absence. Every single person in the opening match has beaten him cleanly in high profile matches, two of them on pay-per-view. He's done. Beating him hasn't made him sympathetic or won anyone over. Beating him has just beaten him, again and again.

So 4 years of Roman is insane when you consider the air time that requires. wrestling in wwe has not really changed in that time though booking mentality wise its been the same since hogan came in i ment total wcw/wwe time when he was fully active like roman is now or oi tink this is what that guy said

April 9, 20187 yr comment_5841255 To me, he's 1991 Lex Luger now. They might have had something had they seen the push through in the first place, but now it's too late to matter.
