    How can they have reigns as a face now ?

    He would be a near perfect mega heel

    Vince why can't u see this ??

    He still sells too much merchandise to kids. Second only to Cena.

    Michael Cole is so bad for moments like these

    Well Vince is probably screaming into the headset "goddamn pal! Who the **** do these fans think they are. "

    They say X-Pac heat is when the crowd just want the person to go away.

    Roman literally got "Go away" chants.

    "F*ck off Roman"

    "Go away"

    Even as a heel I'm not sure that's the heat you want. As a face?

    My god.

    Pop for The Hardys will be insane.

    I was close as he did say those words!

    Annoying this business of Cory saying its all in fun. No it's not

    They say this every year when the crowd boos Reigns out of the building. Damned international fans.

    Great from reigns

    Galloway and Anderson wearing black and red as heels and Roman wearing black and red coincidence I think not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,053 ✭✭✭D.Q


    The main face of the company getting those chants. What sort of world are we living in. It's mental.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,761 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    They're not just missing out on a big heel by not turning Roman

    Imagine the support Balor/Rollins etc would get facing him, would make them look better too, they're missing out on so much of the whole product by keeping him this way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,832 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    He had the crowd in his hand oh Vince why didn't you let him loose he'd be serious money as a heel now turn him face in a year or two.

    He shouldn't be credited for heat he is getting. It doesn't wash that "any reaction is a great reaction".

    When your supposed top face is getting booed out of the building it's not enough to say "hey as long as they are out of their seats". Cena was the same, positive attitude turns it into a positive spin.

    Triple H was booed out of the building in 2000 for doing a good job as a heel. Similar with Edge. That deserves credit.

    The booing of Reigns isn't any kind of positive thing. It's a revolt of sorts against the company. He deserves zero kudos for his reaction. Credit is never deserved for getting a getting a reaction which is basically a f*ck you to your boss.

    He is insignificant in the scheme of things.

    But the crowd boo who they normally cheer!! What a crock of ****. No face on the planet earth recovers from heat like that.

    It's insane. And it's not like it'd be this permanent thing. They could turn him back like. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

    ****ing feed died just after the stupid Germans. What was the pop like


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,360 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    As someone said Reigns has go away heat. The hardcore fans don't even want to see him. Just turn him heel for a couple of years and if you want to turn him back again I imagine the fans would be way more receptive to it after a couple of years as a heel.

    But hey Vince is stubborn and wants Reigns to get the big babyface win against Brock at WM next year so another 12 months of this at least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    jeez lads, 2 ads in and they already annoy me.

    I've said it before but damn near every big face WWE has ever had got over with a heel run, and this crap of any reaction from WWE is a good reaction is bs

    Ruined a little by the crap of the announcer welcoming back the Hardy Boyz instead of just letting them get their reaction, as if people need to be introduced to the Hardy Boyz

    They would be rightly screwed though if the heel turn bombed. There would be no going back for him then. It's probably what they are afraid of.

    Whilst it's the logical move in many ways it's not that clear cut either. A heel reigns may just about garner "meh/p*ssbreak heat" rather than the type they would want.

    I think they may have permanently screwed him over by being so damn obvious it's him they want to ram down people's throats. What ever happened to letting things happen organically


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,585 ✭✭✭Jerichoholic


    That "Non Traditional Fans" line really pisses me off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,690 ✭✭✭Mokuba


    If he got the mic after even hinted at the gimmick the roof would blow off the building.

    The ultimate dream is Senor Benjamin. Pleeeease.

    Yeah Killed the pop a bit. Stupid thing to do.

    How could it bomb when he gets booed everywhere he goes already? If he did heel things he would be one of the biggest heels ever.

    Never understood this. No God damn sense of theatre.

    Did Jeff get a bit injured there or was I just buying his selling?!!

    You would think so but as someone mentioned before it seems to be x-pac type heat.

    The heel flip suited Austin and Rock for instance as they had the charisma to pull it off. I don't see any kind of character development in Reigns to suggest he has the substance to be a star in the long term. Beyond his look which WWE seem enamoured by

    How many recaps and ads have they had in 40 mins?

    I am not even counting the actual breaks but the actual in show ads.
