Feel like people are underselling the Philidelphia aspect of this scenario. They just thought they were going to stroll into Philidelphia and trick the fans by having the Rock pose around with the guy. They act like they've never been there before. It's lunacy.

To answer the original topic, fans should have the power, but the WWE shouldn't cave to a single instance of dissention. Philly's crowd is a smark crowd, and they reacted more extremely than average. However, it does seem a like a lot of fans aren't too happy, period. Ultimately, the actual number of cancellations will mark the reality. Internet communities of any passion always have their extreme fan bases who think they represent reality but are just as out of touch with the average fan as the head of the company they're lambasting.
If Reigns gets boo'd over the next few shows, then the WWE should probably get the hint that it's more than just smarks who aren't enjoying this. If not, then maybe continue the line and tweak to make things make sense. Ultimately, the WWE is about Sports Entertainment. They have to cater to their fans to entertain them, but I agree that a small group of renegades shouldn't hijack booking decisions. The question is whether last night's reaction is extremist or not. |

You'd think the crowd going mostly quiet during all of Reigns' matches lately would be indication enough.

Fans shouldn't be able to dictate storylines, match endings, and gimmicks but they should be able to dictate who they want to see on their televisions the most.

They really should just turn Roman Reigns heel. Have him tell the fans to "believe this" and flip off the crowd. He's not gonna be cheered at all so just make him an asshole heel. Maybe have him show up at Lesnar's house with a gun and he could stalk Sable. Also, make him cut his hair and call him Spartacus. Good idea or great idea?

Feel like Cena should have won the belt and the main event should have been Cena vs Heel Reigns

As romantic of an idea as it would be, I doubt all that many cancelled.

Not sure how the subscriber number tally works. It'll be interesting to see a break-down of whether this is a number of active subscibers today, an earlier number not factoring in cancellations, etc.

All that press release does is show you how much they are panicking. I'm sure they were saving that nugget for their final 3rd qtr financial report.
None of these cancellations will show up until next months numbers anyway. |

Great point. If they knew he wasn't going to win, they knew the crowd would shit on it. Best to not have Reigns' big moment soiled due to poor planning.
I'd venture to say if the crowd had zero reason to believe Bryan would win, they would not have taken such shit on the eventual outcome. |

Seriously, if the network was around back then, Vince would be fuck tenfold compared to backlash from this years rumble. People need to remember how much worse it has been at times. Reigns may not be ready, but The Great Khali is a former WHC, soooo...... |
