But they don't expect that. They've made it clear in multiple conference calls that they know most of their audience don't watch all of their programming, they've said more than once they know that people often don't even watch all three hours of Raw.

Looks like Hogan got his knickers in a twist and got two of my drawings taken down off of Society6. ****ing idiotic twatface ****!
I guess that Gawker money isn't enough. What's worse is there are other Hogan related stuff on there and a lot of it is shit. So I've now taken every wrestling related drawing down just to be safe. Idiot. |

Rusev is without doubt one of the brightest talents they have at the minute, A long slow sustained push towards main event would do great for him,
He has a lot going for him, Remember he can sell too, His matches with Jack Swagger when he sold the ankle lock while doing accolade was something else. Apparently he also has an awesome sense of humour and a personality....WWE just hides all that from us Future champion for sure |

Cena and Styles is still going and Orton will be focusing on Lesnar so who is left, Del Rio? I hope not. They need to debut Samoa Joe on Smackdown pronto because there's a serious lack of main event stars. |

Really strong action packed show. My only critism is the long awaited Shield triple threat was a very slight let down. The crowd and booking mixed together didn't help - the reaction to Reigns was hostile but the commentators had to brush it aside.
PPV didn't up my lack of interest in the product. Though the draft was a necessity, it feels so meh. It's too recycled and the WWE product is too overexposed. Complete lack of freshness, excitement, anticpation and engrossment. It just gets duller. |

Have the reactions to Reigns become sort of pantomime boo's or do people actually dislike him? It seems like people just boo him for the sake of it at times.
I think he's pretty solid wrestling wise but they just need to have him talk less and kick arse more. Rusev is really funny in the interviews I've seen him in but I do wish Lana would piss off. She's terrible and I haven't liked her from day one. |

I get the second drawing being taken down as it's really close to the original but FFS the first one is just fanart.
Well Hogan is an idiot so it fits. I take it back FMKK, you were right, Hogan really is a terrible human being! ![]() ![]() |

II have think he's pretty solid wrestling wise but they just need to have him talk less and kick arse more. There was probably a genuine amount of real heat last night, however. Due mainly to failing a drug test after being given the role model top job - albeit in haphazard fashion - yet screwing up. There's nothing wrong with top sports star being sometimes universally disliked despite being talented at their job (Mayweather, Bryant, Ronaldo etc). Vince just handles it stubbenly. |

It started off as genuine dislike for his push over the other performers. But that was in late 2014. Now it's simply caught on like a catchphrase or mannerism would.

I think what many people tend to forget is that wrestling is not real.
Therefore any steroids he takes doesn't give him any advantage in the ring because there is no real competition taking place. That might be the case in real sports but not wrestling. Wrestling is a work. That's why I don't see the point in testing them for all these different things, many of them completely legal because they're not being used in a way to cheat any system or gain any upper hand in the ring because everything that happens in the ring is a work. No one is really winning or losing any matches. |

And I think that you tend to forget that we are all adults and we know that wrestling is fake.
No wrestling fan should be putting any heat on Roman Reigns. |

No one is really winning or losing any matches. The real interesting thing is that Reigns actually popped the test. What does that tell us; either he's dumb or he's fallen out of favour and they want an excuse to de-push him without admitting defeat. He's certainly not the only user. In terms of the booing, it's just an excuse for people who want to hate him and steroids just have negative cultural connotations. |

I'm sure he's not the only one using things they shouldn't be but there are things on their Wellness Policy which are off limits which CAN be prescribed by the talent's own doctor. Look at Adam Rose and his ADHD medication. It really could have been something very small that was overlooked by both Reigns and the WWE and it only came to light when he failed the test or as you say it could be an excuse to slow down his push. If the WWE was firing on all cylinders and doing their best to create stars I could put a lot of weight behind that theory myself but who else is there? Who else have they even tried to make an effort with apart from Dean Ambrose and even then they're not really doing much with him. There's literally no one else that could tick the kind of boxes Roman Reigns could.
As far as people wanting to boo him, i'm not saying they can't boo him but don't boo him like he's letting the team down or he's putting someone else at risk or he's affecting someone else. The only person he's cheated is himself. It doesn't matter how hard Roman Reigns works, hard work doesn't determine where you go in the WWE, one man decides that, that's Vince McMahon, if he doesn't believe in you then it doesn't matter how hard you work or how early you arrive at the arena or how good you are in the ring and I think most of the people that boo Roman Reigns would boo him regardless, they don't care if he failed or passed any tests, they just don't like him and that's that. |
