I usually go with "wow, people who hate Roman Reigns are stupid."

You might be right about them being racist instead.

Look how fast "smart" fans turned on Rey Rey for "always having the same match" while far worse wrestlers like Edge, RVD, and Jericho are still tolerated. The theory is a good one IMO

Who was suggested by CM Punk and never actually in the group, and this was all well before the debut. That and the group went in a different direction than the stuff Punk was involved with so who knows why people even bring it up. It's evidence for the stupid theory rather than the racism theory though.

Hero's fat as gently caress and can do a moonsault, if you can't see why that has more future than Roman Reigns then I don't know what to tell you.

Edit: Also if Reigns wasn't in the group then I don't think the Shield would have been as well protected. If Chris Hero, John Moxley and Tyler Black said they weren't going to do the job to John Cena I imagine they would have just squashed them and labelled them as having an attitude problem.

He was a college star at UGA. His inability to have the slightest measure of success at the pro level after that is just the result of how much more difficult it is at the pro level.

I don't even get the football player dig.

There are 3 common athletic backgrounds that pro wrestlers tend to come from. Football, amateur wrestling, or bodybuilding.

Lesnar played in high school and professionally. Rhodes played football in college. So did Austin. Rock. Orton. Funk. Flair. Mongo. Goldberg.

Why on earth is it a negative that someone played football?

The WWE have kinda gone on about his football pedigree even though he only ever made a practice squad. They also talk more about Lesnars achievements as an amateur wrestler and in the UFC than they do about him playing football in high school.

Perhaps you didn't read correctly. He's a fat gently caress who does fat gently caress moonsaults. Roman can't compete.

No, as they are fatter.

Hero does however show off more flesh, which adds to his fat gently caress moonsault score as you can really appreciate how fat he is as he flips.

I hate Roman Reigns because I'm racist against people who are, or could easily pass as, white, this is also why I hate John Cena

Where's R Truth, you loving racist?

Also, I think Roman Reigns is mediocre as gently caress and I mostly hate him because of his booking and the way the company has sabotaged the rest of their roster for over a year to try and get him over as the next big thing even though he's only on about the Ryback level of talent.
