Also, the WWE's seems really stymied in how to book a modern day baby face. What I DID like about Roman tonight was he sold for AJ, even after the match. He didn't just forget about his knee, and a lot of the stuff he did looked good.
But, you take all the possible equity he could have earned and you sort of throw it away with the OVERCOME THE ODDS finish. You know what would make him infinitely more interesting even as a baby face? If he cheated to win because AJ was pushing him to the limits (it was no holds barred so that would even make more sense because he wouldn't have broken any rules). Like if he pulled the tights, or jabbed AJ in the knee with a chair and rolled him up in a small package, and explained that he was desperate because AJ is a badass and Roman needs to keep being "THE GUY" (for fuck sake)
I would surmise that the vocal haters could relate to that a bit more then BAH GAWD AFTER A HELL OF A MATCH ROMAN COMES BACK AND WINS WITH THE EXACT SAME MOVE HE ALWAYS COMES BACK AND WINS WITH HE IS THE GUY (NOT A GOOD GUY AND NOT A BAD GUY FYI)
