Never forget, Roman has now basically been in the main event, on a product that is over-saturated, for 5 years.

how could you not be sick of it?

have a think about how long Austin was on top.
The Rock.
Bret.
Shawn.

Cena was an anomaly, and if we're honest, a lot of fans were quite sick of him being where he was. and even then, he was over far more, for a longer period, with all demographics, than Roman ever has been. Roman was on his way while with the Shield at one, but Vince ejaculated prematurely with the super push.

the more you analyse the obsession of Vince for Roman Reigns, the more ridiculous it is. the poor man is blatantly having an end of life crisis, and he needs to get his one last chosen superstar over in order to feel completely validated.

And they went through different characters and changed it up. Roman as been the same.

The shouty shít he does before the spear is cringing too.

id hate it if braun cashed in would much prefer it to be owens.

Jmac24128 · 26-07-2018 03:14PM

Been a wrestling fan for over 25 years..... just cant see how they use talent so badly with pure **** planning and story lines. they only thing they successfully do is produce crap and ram roman ****ing reigns down your throat time and time and time and time and time again (the 5 "times" are for the 5 wrestlmania main events he will have in a ****ing row) wud do a better story line in my sleep... ps cud have wrote for 5000 words on everything they are ****ing up but i dont have the heart to waste on them.

JP Liz V1 · 30-07-2018 09:57PM

Brock and Ronda return tonight

PTH2009 · 30-07-2018 11:10PM

Will there be a min silence for Volkoff and Brian Christopher ???

If Bruno Samartino can get one and a video package so should the other lads

Agent Coulson · 30-07-2018 11:23PM

Volkoff will get a ten bells and video package I would imagine.

Christopher might get a mention or get one on Smackdown tomorrow.

CastorTroy · 30-07-2018 11:24PM

I think that's a tricky one. I think they may have the minute's silence for Jerry's sake. Then Volkoff is a Hall of Famer.
If Brian had been the only one who died in the past week and wasn't related to Jerry, then he may have just got a card at the beginning.

PTH2009 · 31-07-2018 01:42AM

The demon Finn Balor to return to beat Corbin at Summerslam ??

Who cares, they’ve killed all momentum when it comes to Finn. They’re afraid of letting anyone else get over in case we continue to reject Roman.

Best thing that could happen is for Roman to get injured. WWE would need to get more creative with their booking.

Angron · 31-07-2018 08:17AM

The Brock stuff has been long term booking that we almost never see from WWE these days.

It's just a shame it's ****.

martyos121 · 31-07-2018 08:24AM

Can’t believe they brought Lesnar back just to read magazines backstage.

What am I saying, of course I can believe it. Vince is still alive.

ERG89 · 31-07-2018 08:25AM

They've turned Lesnar face or just made him honest to win over some people's hearts

SlickRic · 31-07-2018 08:36AM

I might be the only one, but I like this Lesnar stuff.

i hope he keeps the title hostage until Wrestlemania to be honest.

he's right.
Heyman is his employee.
There is nothing that has ever come from Lesnar that suggests that he sees Heyman as anything other than an advocate.
Lesnar has never cared. that's part of his schtick. i thought that was accepted by everyone at this stage?

why should I get upset because he's the prick he's always been, and attacks people for no real reason? it's what he does.

also, he's right. why the fúck would he watch the show?

this will get him over bigger in the long run IMO, and if they think this will get Roman cheered, they're in for a fúcking hilarious surprise.

Furious-Red · 31-07-2018 10:31AM

Looks like Raw didnt record for me last night , so did i miss much (going by the fact there was only one post).
The fact they are using the Demon to fight Corbin is laughable tho

Me too. Finally something a bit different.

"We want Roman" chants. After that disaster of a promo Roman phoned in thats impressive heel work from Lesnar.

It reminds me of when Vince bought WCW & they showed him on Nitro putting on the jacket. Except far less damaging in the long run.

Rock Lesnar · 31-07-2018 10:57AM

I enjoyed Lesnar last night, but if they think him attacking Angle and Heyman means the crowd at SS will cheer Reigns coming to rescue of everybody, it wont.

SlickRic · 31-07-2018 11:00AM

the funny thing is, every single one of us would love to be in Lesnar's position. why would i hate him?

yes, he doesn't give a fúck about me. but who cares?
he's the Champion.
he's paid more than anyone.
he works less than anyone.
he likes steak and sitting on his couch.
he's trying to conquer a whole other field for a second time.

he's a fúcking hero.

J. Marston · 31-07-2018 01:09PM

Also, Brock is effortlessly badass.

Roman Reigns is the antithesis of badass. His blue/grey contact lenses, his ultra try-hard attempts at being edgy, semi-regularly calling people bitch like it's a big deal, his pouting blue steel glare. Guy is the most uncool face of the company ever.

Cena at his peak with his fruity pebbles shirts and boy scout attitude is still cooler than Roman bloody Reigns.

Think about what an achievement it is that Cena at his most fruity pebblish was cooler than their presentation of Roman Reigns.

it is frightening.

you have a badass looking guy in Reigns.
while he isn't a legit fighter, by all accounts he can handle himself.
he looks like he could kick your ass.

while he can talk, nobody actually wants to see a badass Samoan talk. they want to see him say very little, come in, beat someone up, then move on to the next guy. that is quite literally, in my opinion, all they had to do to have him be one of the coolest guys in the company.

instead, the fúcking geniuses tried to turn him into Cena 2.0, it failed, and they've been recovering ever since. there have been glimpses, but they still have him talk too long, have him in matches that are far too long, and have him do things that a badass motherfúcker just wouldn't do.

Found the whole Lesnar and Reigns thing last night to just be trash tv

Remember all the times they tried to make Reigns into Stone Cold, why didn't he come back to attack Lesnar last night after wanting him for 3 months?

He was on screen several times before Reigns was ejected, after Lesnar didn't answer Reigns' call why did he not go looking for him instead he decided to watch stuff on his tablet

Should have been Rollins, instead the actual hot guy is stuck with Dolph again

Think it's Reigns who's the real bitch in this story, like you said 3 months he waited, Lesnar was a sitting duck for the night, and Roman fudged it up.

its what they do with roman make the worst booking decisions constantly with him

CastorTroy · 31-07-2018 06:27PM

I'm sure the only reason for the "We want Roman" chants was because they wanted to see the fight.

I was going to say how Ronda hasn't fought on Raw yet even though she didn't want special treatment. But over 7 months after signing, it's happening.

And where was Heyman showing the clip of Roman from? Did it go up online right away or something?

SureYWouldntYa · 31-07-2018 08:28PM

Was it we want Roman or we want Strowman?

Thought it was Strowman since he could cash in

CastorTroy · 31-07-2018 08:30PM

Ah, don't tell me I've developed Michael Cole hearing

Agent Coulson · 31-07-2018 11:47PM

Kurt is looking more and more like Homer Simpson everytime I see him from a side profile.

Those veins on his temple look like they are going to explode at any second.

Finn needs to get off RAW and get to Smackdown to face AJ, Bryan, Miz etc.

sky88 · 07-08-2018 02:33AM

Theyve really killed the braun flipping stuff gimmick
