Nevermind that it's such a stupid gimmick because everyone in the know is aware that Roman has always been the cherry-picked golden boy for the past three years; he's just so bad at selling it.


Like, with Austin and The Rock, they were good at selling that role because they truly believed they were the character they were portraying. With Roman, he can't sell it because in addition to being a lovely promo, deep down he knows that he has always been The GuyTM and is so artificial at being the "wronged, rebellious outsider".


E: BITCH

Roman can't convey a character, period. No matter what they do he always seems like he's a guy who is there to read the lines fed to him, then punch the clock.

By making main eventers seem poor, wwe proves that the extremely rich and profitable company is much more important and prestigious than any of the wrestlers could ever be. come see WWE featuring wwe superstars created by wwe

In 20 years there will only be one wrestler they can trot out to any kind of reaction and it will be John Cena. It's sad.

Genuine question, here, put aside whether or not you should forgive Hogan or whether it's fair to blacklist him. Set all that aside for a second. Pretend that there's absolutely no controversy associated with him whatsoever.

Is there any...point to bringing him back? Like, I hear people say "oh it's not fair for WWE to blacklist him" and that's one thing, but like, what values does Hogan bring to any wrestling promotion, muchless WWE, in 2018?

He's a name that people know, so he brings more value than anyone on the active roster except John Cena.

They couldn't possible do WORSE with Braun as their top face.

Or Big E.

Or Rusev.

Or Dean Ambrose.

Or Heath Slater.

Does Roman even have crossover appeal? It's my understanding that they still mostly hold the dude back from doing more than a couple media appearances or interviews or podcasts whatever because he's so bad at them and always comes off like a total prick.

Instead of Roman's character being his real personality turned up to 11, it's his real personality turned down to 5.

Given that WWE is not on the verge of dying, I would say Roman is a significantly better top star than Shawn was.

If Vince was booking like this back in 1994, the WWF would have actually died.

You mean other than Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, or the burn victim that owns the Raiders, or Goodell and the rest of the NFL administration?

You also have the insanely inept or corrupt leaders of MLS and USMNT. OH and that poo poo heel owner of the Ohio soccer team trying to scam his way into Austin.

Also the NCAA when it comes to Football, Basketball........ Yeah we got plenty. The only difference with FIFA is they are so blatant about their heelish ways they really never needed to hide anything it was always an open secret, like pro boxing.

The sex abuse coverup in Olympic gymnastics, too
