Mostly, yes, Stop. The biggest heel in WWE is the WWE itself. We know the difference between a "push" and actually "fighting for the top spot", that's why the most over guys are the Bryans, Cesaros, Zigglers of the world.

Why Daniel Bryan is over = People want someone who isn't Mr. Muscle that they can cheer for to piss the WWE off.

More because they identify with him.

It's the same reason they were behind HBK, SCSA, etc. People cheer for the guy they identify with or the guy who overpowers them with physical presence mixed with charisma (Rocky, Goldberg, Lesnar, Hogan).

People latch on to guys like that who have the correct level of charisma and likability. Especially with the type of foil he had last year

What Jacob said is true. They are forcing Reigns into the spotlight too early

I have no problem with Roman Reigns but it's not a good idea to force him into the main event if the crowd doesn't want to see him yet It's going to hurt Reigns and it's not his fault. It is very similar to the way the Rock was first pushed. They are going to end up hurting Reigns just because they are trying to force the fans to like him.
Out of curiosity, who would you want to win the Rumble other than Reigns.

Right. A Cesaro makes the most out of any chance he gets and always impresses. An Ambrose gets some really crap promo mateiral and turns it into gold. A Bryan always delivers awesome matches with awesome stories.

He needs in my opinion at least a year in the mid card to develop his singles persona and develop a way for people to truly care, to back him

Because at the moment he has none. Why should I cheer for Roman Reigns? Why should Icare for him?

They're forcing him too early? Yet, if he threw Batista over the top rope last year, the crowd would go nuts.

Yeah, Jacob Fox did indeed hit the nail on the head. There's a whole lot of appeal to Roman, reasons why people like the guy. But at his current level, he just shouldn't do anything under 2/3 minutes.
