I get that, a lot of their matches are fast paced and can be hard to keep up with. I enjoy it because its something different. The faster pace leads to some sloppiness but a lot of times I find my self amazed at how they pull some of it off so fast.

I think a lot of the time the wrestlers don't seem to be able to keep up with it. I love fast paced stuff too, but to me it just seems like a bunch of stuff happening with no rhyme or reason.

(Not arguing with you by any means I see where you're coming from, just further articulating my point).

I find BJ good at what he's doing at the moment. Liked what they were doing with the decade before Jimmy Jacobs left for WWE creative. Now he and Adam Page have taken Steve Corinos son Colby on as a young boy and was supposed to have a match with Steve at final battle but Steve said he was retiring from in ring action due to needing neck surgery. Could turn into BJ vs Nigel I think.

I just find him to be really disjointed in the ring. The little I've seen though. Is there a match you could link me to that would show me "vintage" Whitmer?

Not really, he hasn't worked a match on ROH TV in a while, and I couldn't tell you that his in ring work is any thing great. He's best at being the mentor type to younger guys now. Whitmer is usually a promo spot on TV and works a lot of tag matches now, is rarely in the main event.

Its not though. I see it from people of the age where I work. There's a sense of expecting to be told how to do things, and taking the safe route.

I would take Vince's word. He works with these people day in and day out, and would have past generations to compare to.

But I know, I know, you read somewhere that he's out of touch, so you ahve to repeat it. Its cool.

Wow they are really gonna try the exact same storyline they had with Bryan to get Roman over?(they don't even hide the fact that it's the same) This has failure written all over for a lot of reasons.

What if that happens but he's selling more tshirts than anyone but Cena and the bad reaction is only in certain cities?

Except that Reigns is regularly getting booed or al best cases lukewarm crowd reactions everywhere they tour. Maybe it turns around but it's been a year now and the crowds don't seem to be buying it.

The crowd isn't buying into Reigns because everything with him has felt forced. Many of the fans who were kids when Cena started getting pushed to the moon and who were his target audience are now old enough to realize what had happened and so they're naturally inclined to boo Reigns simply because he's the guy WWE want them to cheer.

But it really doesn't matter who the adults in the crowd want to see. If Reigns gets over with the kids, that's all WWE really cares about at the end of the day. It just remains to be seen if Reigns will have the kids wrapped around his finger as long as Cena since Reigns doesn't have half the personality that Cena had.

To be fair to Reigns, he hasn't been the focal point of TV since Mania. Was only in the build to Survivor Series that they really put the spotlight on him.

WWE isn't interested in having a cold champion, so they are trying to put obstacles in front of him so fans get behind the chase. We'll see how it works. I know Hunter said in an interview before Mania last year that some crowds would boo Roman, but in other towns he was the most over guy.

Who knows what will happen, but I could see him becoming similar to Cena, where the smarks boo him, but the women and kids cheer him. Either way its an important few months for him. When Rollins comes back, I think that might give them an opportunity to turn Roman if it's needed.

He's probably as over as he's going to get. Kids love him, he moves merch, however the adult crowd aren't buying it, and going the "overcoming obstacles" route won't convince that potion of the audience to get on board; you can't sell that story with Roman the same way they could with Bryan.

Which to me is fine.

If I were WWE I would go out of my way to make Reigns unappealing to adults, but book him like a superhero for the kids.

So you would make someone unappealing on purpose?

Why would you go out of your way to make any character on your show unappealing to any demographic? And why would you go out of your way to not let your top face get massive pops across the board and actually draw people over the age of 12 to watch the show? Seriously?

Pretty sure CyNick just set the wheels in motion for an addition to his gimmick where, instead of going through the trouble of rationalizing, he can just say "WWE is intentionally trying to do things that don't appeal to people. It's actually a genius tactic. You just don't get it."

Roman Reigns is Batista
Roman Reigns is Bobby Lashley
For fucks sake,Roman Reigns is Crimson from TNA

You can switch any of these dudes out they are so interchangeable

Nothing sticks out about Roman those guys I listed are pretty much the same as him

I would take Vince's word. He works with these people day in and day out, and would have past generations to compare to.

But I know, I know, you read somewhere that he's out of touch, so you ahve to repeat it. Its cool.
No, people have actually researched it. You can have your own opinion, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

When those cities are in the biggest markets you can run, and the WWE's attendance is drying up in places like Des Moines, it does become a problem.

Here, here. And that's a big source of the Roman Reigns backlash. It's not even that people don't like Reigns -- they can just feel another decade of an ice-cream that's not their flavor.

I would make Roman Reigns appealing to grandmothers. If you get the grandmas, you get the kids. They've got all that disposable income and need something to fill their time since they don't have work or mortgages. And when these kids grow up with Roman Reigns because of their grandmothers, they're ostensibly going to be WWE fans in another ten years or so.

Think this is a massive disservice to big Dave. He was massively over when he turned, had a fantastic presence, a whole bunch of natural charisma and had some great matches too. He was oversaturated in the end, but he was clearly in a different league to Reigns.

Agree with the other three though, Reigns is dull and tbh, comes of as cocky and arrogant with his looks and posturing on TV. That's why I thought the heel turn would have suited him. He had a reason (crowds reaction) and his mannerisms lend more to it.

TBH I loved cocky dressed like a douche Batista. with him I meant more in-ring style than personality.

Heel Batista was amazing. Ripping on fat girls and geeks was a money promo for him.
