Of course it's great if Roman can get over with everyone. But I would be happy if they were able to replace Cena with him as the hero to the kids, because I think that audience is more important to success. If that means you have to alienate the adults to get him over with the kids, i'm all for that.

You literally said the words "I would go out of my way to make Reigns unappealing to adults".

Not "I would try to make the character appealing to kids (which is REALLY fucking easy) but also actually make him a compelling character that adults can get behind if possible."

But "I would go out of my way to make Reigns unappealing to adults"

Kids will like whatever big superhero babyface they're told to like. It's not fucking rocket science making a wrestler with the right look appeal to kids. And if you actually make the character compelling so that adults can enjoy him too, it's not gonna alienate the kids. Of course that takes decent writing which, as I've explained in-depth in posts that you've dodged, is not WWE's strong suit.

Intentionally making a guy unappealing to a large demographic is not only incredibly easy in this case, it's asinine. You said you WANT a specific demographic turned off of the main portion of your product. Not that you'd just accept it as an unfortunate side effect. You'd GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to make it happen. At the very least I hope you can look back and consider that as part of the .1%, Mr "On point 99.9% of the time". lol
