I mean this with all honesty, and I'm not normally one of these types of guys, but you know what I think would have helped get Roman over at the Rumble? Blood.
The Rumble was a perfect example of when blood can add something to a match. Having Roman walk out on his own, refusing the stretcher was a horrible move. Imagine him being wheeled to the back on a stretcher after each member of LoN took turns beating a bloody Roman Reigns, and then Vince came over and paint-brushed him a few times for good measure. Then you have a bandaged Roman limp back down to the ring later on to finish the Rumble.
I know, I know, It's PG. And that's part of the problem of all of this. All I'm saying is if you really want people to have sympathy for the guy, that may have gone a long way instead of getting what we got.
