5 Reasons Roman Reigns is pushed despite all the criticism

When people complain about Reigns online, it actually brings him more money.

#4 Any Publicity Is Good Publicity

Vince McMahon is of the mind that any kind of reaction to what is put on is better than no reaction whatsoever. Even if wrestling fans boo a man out of the building, to Vince, that’s better than them sitting on their hands.

He has believed this for a very long time and isn’t likely to change. As proof, consider the original version of the Goldust character. Initially, Goldust was an androgynous character whose purpose was to make people from different walks of life uncomfortable. Vince didn’t care about those negative reactions whatsoever; it was publicity, and it was bringing him money.

He takes the same approach with Roman Reigns now, albeit as long as there isn’t the same type of controversy as there was with Goldust. Fans are reacting to Roman Reigns in such a negative way that there are countless websites and blogs out there that denounce Reigns and criticise him.

This, in turn, actually generates more curiosity and interest in Reigns. If he really is that bad, some people might just want to see that for themselves, which in turn elevates the overall response towards him.

It’s just like the ‘We hate Cena’ T-shirt: fans buy the shirt to show their dislike for John Cena, while at the same time they put more money in his and WWE’s pockets.
