The main issue is them being so comically out of touch with their audience. Why in the world would anybody have thought that was going to sit well. IN PHILIDELPHIA. It's almost impressive how completely disconnected they can be sometimes. As stated, there were options besides Bryan that the crowd would have embraced. They're obsession with big hulked up dudes has been well documented in the past but I don't think there has ever been a time where it was so blatantly transparent and dumbfounding. Everybody is finally seeing how weird, unreasonable, and somewhat homoerotic the entire attitude is. It really is odd. I mean, they are throwing away money to pursue a fetish. Nobody I've ever asked has thought a Reigns was even the most talented Shield member, much less the most talented guy on the roster.
I don't mind Reigns. I actually kind of like him. But I hate the WWE mentality. They really poisoned the water hole by blatantly lying and making him superstar of the year. As soon as the audience feels like they are being spoon fed, they turn. You absolutely cannot force a top guy. Feel like they will never learn this.
