Is it sad WWE needed Romans Leukemia to make Ambroses heel turn feel10x more hellish than it probably would have?

I hope it doesn't quickly dissipate. Often they spark something and have no clue where to go with it.

Ambrose would have gotten cheered if he had done it any other time. And he might even get cheered before too long. I've honestly never really wanted this turn, because I feel that while it'll allow him to do a little more with promos, it won't be what people think it will be.
This sounds like it is a good start, where he has actually given people a real reason to feel betrayed and heartbroken. |

Interested to see what kind of coverage Raw gets. The Roman story is pretty "big."

It was a great turn and had perfect timing. Now let's just enjoy the ride until they drop the ball in 3 weeks.

The #1 thing is Amvroses heel reign lasts as long as Romans Leukemia cause when Roman comes back he's going to kill Dean

I can't work out the context of what that means, haha. Maybe they're just trying to make him a "crazy" heel, which, I dunno -- it doesn't appeal to me.

I did just have a weird thought. They were building around Reigns for so long. They probably knew they were going to before they even called him up, but it's been something they've been working towards since Brock beat Taker at WrestleMania. They might just put the Universal Title on Braun and say "he's the guy now!", but there is really no way they could have prepared for this.
I wonder if this could potentially have ramifications on the roster split? I dunno, I can just see them going it "all hands on deck mode" since they really don't have "the guy" now and loading up Raw with your AJ Styleses, Daniel Bryans, Randy Ortons, Jeff Hardys, etc. I mean, last I checked AJ Styles was just behind Roman Reigns in terms of merchandise moved. I can see them wanting that dude on Raw because you can't just will Braun or Seth into do the same numbers just because Roman's not there and one of them beats Brock too. But maybe they can or will try. |

I do have to wonder if WWE considered the risk of this hanging over Roman. They have been hesitant in the past to fully go with guys like Daniel Bryan for being seen as injury prone, or Jeff Hardy for being untrustworthy to not get suspended.
Seems they would have known this could return at some point, so to not be cautious about this seems out of character for how they have done things for at least 15 years. |

Think they are going to play it as Dean seeing the way Seth was celebrating as him caring more about the titles than about Roman. Dean seemed like he was more somber and not feeling like celebrating but Rollins was super stoked. Then he threw the titles at him at was like "here since this is all you seem to care about".
Of course Rollins is going to try and play it off and work through it under the guise that Dean just needed an outlet for his emotions....even though that doesn't make any sense.....but WWE so. |

To think Roman was juicing (or at the very least rumored to be juicing) when he knew he had a history of Leukemia. Fucking crazy. I'd think a person would not want to be adding to their health risks like that given that history.

Only reason he didn't become a major star the first time around was due to Vince's antiquated views on masculinity and a domestic incident that revealed Drew's wife was the dominate one of the couple. Similar to why Vince's soured on Morrison since Melina was the more dominate one in the relationship. |

I don't know if there is anything that says steroids increase your odds of getting Leukemia or not, but if not I can certainly understand the thinking of wanting to build yourself up as strongly as you can. |

Steroids treat a lot of things. There are also a lot of different kinds of steroids. I'm not sure if the kind someone would be using to juice and the kind you take when you get sick are the same thing. I could be wrong, I know jack shit about the different kinds of steroids other than that they exist.

I'm coming at it from the standpoint that the kind of roids athletes take can cause heart issues in a lot of cases when you use them to get jacked. I personally would want to take as little risk as possible with my heart if I had ever suffered from leukemia seeing as it is a type of blood cancer. I'd be eating healthy, exercising, not smoking or drinking, etc. That's just me though.

https://247sports.com/nfl/minnesota-...men-104423743/ This article has quoted from his agent at the time. "According to Anoai's agent, Jim Ulrich, Anoai had an injury that didn't allow him to participate in the team's organized team activities last week. The Vikings reported Anoai's absence as being for "personal reasons." On Tuesday, Ulrich said he was hopeful that Anoai would be able to participate in this weekend's minicamp, but he confirmed Wednesday that undrafted rookie would be released. "I can't get into what his medical condition is," Ulrich said. Ulrich said it is possible Anoai could get the medical issue cleared up in a few weeks and then look to sign with the Vikings or another team before training camp. " He was signed in the beginning of May after going undrafted and participated in rookie mini camp. The date of his release was May 30th, 2007. Then according to the following article, he signed with the Jaguars on August 26th, 2007: http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Wrestling.../21177661.html If those dates are correct, and the "medical issue" was the leukemia, then that could give a rough estimate on the timeframe, as he was evidently healthy after 3 months to get cleared and signed by another NFL team. I would imagine he wasn't at top strength after chemo, which is why he probably got cut after a week, but still he wouldn't have been signed at all if he wasn't in full remission. So hoping all goes well and the docs can get him back into remission, it is possible that a best case scenario is him being back at the Royal Rumble, which is a little more than 3 months away. |
