I love when people say he is whiny or entitled when every other top babyface in history has thrown bigger hissy fits if the fans rejected them.

There is one exception, John Cena.

my other response to this is that very few top babyfaces got as consistant of a rejection so early into their tenure

There, again, is one exception. John Cena.

One thing I will note about Roman is there's a friend who I (mainly used to) watch PPVs with who just can't overlook the fact that Roman wears what appears to be a Kevlar vest. Not because of the look or anything, but he feels it somehow gives him an unfair advantage. I can try and tell him every time that in kayfabe it's no different than a shirt and doesn't offer any protection but any time he'd get chopped or beat he'd go on about Roman is a coward who needs chest protection like he was D'lo Brown

my god, I think we've finally discovered the dumbest reason to hate Roman

I personally believe it's only second to "he doesn't do enough moves"

Roman Reigns had a really good match with Bray Wyatt who has had worse matches working with similar talent

Amazing that AJ Styles was able to carry easily gassed, poor work ethic Roman Reigns to a better match than most of his matches with great wrestlers in Japan.

Roman Reigns is just so bad he made AJ Styles better!

those matches were really good but outside of maybe that first okada match where he won the belt in 2014 I can't think of any major njpw match that was better than

Saying he posts in bad faith is absolutely rich, considering some of the ridiculous and pedantic attempts attempts at critique on Roman that could be summed up far more elegantly and honestly by simply saying "I don't like him".

more people need to get comfortable with saying "I just don't like him" not everyone you dislike is a bad wrestler, and hell, i love plenty of bad ones myself

Turn Roman heel and also don't give him a mic all the time.

Basically the AJ Styles NJPW treatment.

aj did plenty of promos in njpw

Fat wrestlers are the best wrestlers.

roman is good but there is a plan that can make me root for him like he was in the shield

1) get a gut again
2) do moonsaults

It wasn't class A drugs or ROIDs. So Roman is bit more of a sympathetic case in light of that if true.

I mean, considering the reaction to the fan backlash (justified or not) both from the office and Roman himself in interviews, this mainly ends up sympathetic in an "icarus flew too close to the sun" sort of way.

Roman: I'm telling ya, I didn't do anything!
Smarks: I don't care!

If it was just smarks who didn't like him house shows wouldn't be this bad.
