#9 Are Wrestling fans too severe on Roman Reigns?
Trending
If WWE is indeed trying to help Reigns get over as a babyface by evoking sympathy out of the WWE universe, it clearly didn’t work last night. Roman received the typical boos during the match, and after it, when Braun decided to beat him some more. ‘Thank you, Strowman’ chants were echoing around the area to close off the night, meaning Vince must have been sitting back there thinking, what the hell do I need to do to win these people over?
When you remove all of the kayfabe from the situation, the whole thing starts to look a bit ugly. Here is a man in Roman Reigns who was handpicked to be the next top guy in the WWE. Through no fault of his own, he was given the sorts of opportunities a particular section of the audience thought others deserved more.
At the end of the day, this is a man’s livelihood we’re talking about. It looks like Reigns will never get to be the next John Cena because the fans just won’t accept him, or they have just gotten so used to booing the guy that they don’t know any different.
Coupled with the fact that the man’s brother recently died, and you have to ask yourself what is wrong with people? Couldn’t the boos have been put to one side just for tonight? Couldn’t Roman’s real life heartache have given him at least one match worth of respect and adulation?
