I mean be in a better feud after for a start. Again who has Roman elevated in defeat minus Jey? As in helping them rise up the card. Cause Drew was already a main event guy before this feud. I'm not saying he is burying people but he isn't elevating people in defeat either

Because he COULDNT elevate drew.

 

[Roy Mustang]

Not answering the question

 

[Roy Mustang]

Cause he hasn't feuded with Drew for 2 years

 

[Roy Mustang]

So who minus Jey has he elevated in defeat?

 

[Roy Mustang]

I'd also point out Dale is right that the Sami stuff deffo helped elevate the Bloodline quality wise because it was getting stale before that.

There was no such thing as “elevating” people. When you’re facing the WWE champion that’s the top guy in the company. There’s literally no where to go from there but down. Meaning an upper mid card feud or below. Nobody who’s faced Roman has lost their push for become a jobber or anything like that. All his feud have been entertaining and his opponents usually look good in the match. That’s all I need. Like I said the only exception is Finn Balor was that was just stupid fucking Vince booking.

I mean there is such a thing as "elevating" people but go off I guess.

Also look at what Cesaro was doing pre-roman and post-Roman. Is that Roman burying people? Nah but yeah feuding with Roman hardly helped him when a defeat in a great match should have. Also I did not enjoy the feud with Brock at all tbh. I could do with never ever seeing those two interact ever again

You can't elevate someone by putting them on in a feud with the top guy. To elevate someone is to get them to a higher level. By putting someone in the main event you can't get to a higher level.

It is the rest of the rosters job to elevate people to Romans level. It's Romans job to make his opponents (who already should have been elevated) look like a threat to him. To Romans credit, that is exactly what he has done with the likes of Kevin Owens, Balor, Jey Uso, Riddle. Daniel Bryan and Big E.

Don't blame Roman for the prior regimes bad booking of people after the loss.

This guy gets it

 

[Bad News Booty]

I mean majority of the fans I've seen aren't into him as much due to how dull the feud is according to most people. Plus again Roman didn't elevate him

I’ve not seen that at all which I guess it means it’s all where you look.

This is the most logical take on the subject

 

[Roy Mustang]

You can deffo elevate someone in defeat to a top guy lmao

 

[Dale]

That's a load of nonsense. Just because you're feuding with THE top guy, it doesn't mean you're both on the same level.

 

[Roy Mustang]

Also I've not once blamed roman...
