Has anyone else realized that the WWE maybe
keeping Lesnar off TV simply so the fans can't
cheer for him?

Like the WWE is trying to create a 1 Horse race
with only one option for the fans to cheer for?

Does anyone else find that sad & pathetic?

I think WWE are running a storyline where Brock makes sporadic appearances to sell the fact that Brock is really just in it for the money.

If people wanted to cheer Brock, they'll cheer him either way. The dude is popular, and I can't remember him actually being booed more than cheered.

But Brock has been doing that since...forever.

So its only okay to bring that up as long as it
makes Roman look strong/right/popular?

Lame!

Well...Wrestlemania XX proved he can be booed just
like anyone else can.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Cena and Punk used it as talking points during their Summerslam feuds.

I was talking on since his return. Brock is an over muh fucka. Also, it can be argued that the circumstances were different for that match, and it was dead from the start.

You're most probably right...but I wasn't around for those feuds...
so you will have to excuse me for not being 100% informed.

Well true...the circumstances are completely different...but with
the crowd's visible & vocal hostility towards Reigns & Lesnar
most likely leaving afterwards...well...these circumstances may
lead to a repeat of Lesnar vs. Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX.

Call me prick...but I want the crowd to shit all over on the match...
but then I won't waste my time watching it anyway.

Hey I'll chime in here for a second. I only read the first half dozen comments or so, but I have to say man...

As for you ignoring reigns, that's your choice. Nobody is knocking you for that. I too couldn't stand reigns for the longest time. I loved being able to boo the piss out of him at survivor series 2016 in Toronto. That was friggin epic. So loud!

But if his feud with cena and Brock have shown me anything (I know his cena feud was months ago now. I don't catch much anymore) it's that he IS there week in and week out. He IS busting his body for Vince on the road multiple days each and every week. He IS the guy who has to take alot of work being pushed by Vince to be the top guy even if it's not working out for him.
He is the guy getting booed out of arena after arena while doing his job and putting 100% in. Even if he won't admit it that has to take a toll on his mental at some point.

Now I know every other full time wrestler works the same schedules and everything.... But at this point I'm starting to feel bad for the guy a bit. He works just as good as the rest of them and the only downfall is that he was shoved down throats too much too soon. That's not his fault though.

Really?... Guess we should call him the Samoan Snowflake.

The Booing is one of the reasons he is being pushed as a top star. But yeah he hasn't fully achieved what WWE expected of him.... and that's not he's fault. Bad booking from WWE. at least he is being booked well atm.

This is more or less how I feel. He is a decent to good worker, is not an asshat by most accounts (unlike HBK for example). I don't like the way he is pushed or booked most of the time (Braun wrecking him was fun though) but yeah it takes guts getting booed all the time.

That's because you can't! He has no character! That's why he's still
dressed up in the Shield attire...he has nothing else to work with.
Ya know, I HAVE Wondered about that. Give the man something new to wear. It does get old seeing the same attire after a certain amount of time. Everyone else gets a new look but Him? I mean Come on Vince, Get ur head out of the clouds and make a freaking change for once!

No way dude. If you were doing your job infront of 10-15 THOUSAND people every single week. And probably 5-10 thousands or more a few more times a week.. then add in wrestlemania....ohh idk 70-100 THOUSAND people and being booed by 75% of them or more at the top of their lungs.... For 4 fucking years.... that wouldn't even bother you one bit?
The man goes out every single week giving his all. And has the whole time. Continuously improving. And I have noticed the last few times I've caught raw there have been less and less boos btw. But holy shit if you think that man is a snowflake if it were to bother him....man that's messed up. Imagine how he feels knowing his daughter has to hear that for her dad. I know that would bug the hell out of me. If my daughter had to hear that.. I wouldn't want her to watch. It's different if he was playing a heel character and was supposed to be booed.

Thank you for understanding what I meant. The people who don't understand are probably those "hardcore wrestling fanatic" type.


While I do not agree with most things in wwe (hence my decline in viewership) it has gotten hard seeing reigns get booed so much. I truly feel for the guy. Man my perspective on alot of things have changed since becoming a father hahaha
