I'm personally not really nuts for the whole "This is MY yard!" catchphrase either. I mean sure, it's succinct and it's meant to make a powerful impression like "DAMN, this guy's a fucking badass!" but from a guy like Roman it just comes off as a megalomaniacal saying from a guy who isn't yet a full-time main eventer, isn't the face of the company and hasn't gained acceptance from the fans as either of those things. He comes across, IMHO, as a wannabe badass, and at that, one whom I feel it would do a world of good to turn heel and keep using the catchphrase while wrecking shop and just doing whatever the fiuck he pleases to whomever and/or whatever he wants, whenever he wants to do so. Until then, I can't really ever see him being successful to the same degree as someone like Cena or any of the other great main eventers in wrestling history.
