GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

[SuperTimCahill]

I always considered the guys booing him pretty stupid myself. What I would like is either chants of 'booooring' (because that's what he is) or complete silence, like Meltzer says. Would be pretty hard for Michael Cole to spin the boring chants into "Reigns really brings the passion out of the fans, everyone cares about him".

And I think Ijjy has a fair point when it comes to merch sales. However I do think every other superstar on the roster could get equal sales with the insane amount of push that Reigns has been on the receiving end of. We need to remember that a lot of the american crowd are sheep who'll cheer and buy the merch of the guys WWE tell them to cheer/buy into. Imagine Sami Zayn getting 1/10 of that. WWE makes it very hard for him to build his brand and he still gets a very good reception every time he goes to the ring. Even the kids seem to love him.

With the merch though, if someone's been pushed right to the very top for three years you'd really expect and hope for them to be your biggest merch seller. Cena has only been beaten by Punk and Jeff Hardy for merch sales in recent years so it's some feat to get close to him but he's never going to be him, despite them wanting and almost needing him to.

However, he does get over with Kids because yes, he's a 'superhero' and parents will buy the kids merch at shows and etc to make/keep them happy.

In the end, if we want him to go away just don't look.

The fans booing Reigns is only making WWE push him more. The best thing for fans to do is leave when his segments are on. If he opens the show, walk out, when he leaves, return.

Vince needs a new Paul Herman to come along so he can steal his ideas and put them on a much larger scale. Creative genius....no chance. Ask Steve Austin, they wanted to call him Ice Dagger at one point.

Yeah, that was the point I was trying to make, though I may have expressed myself in a sloppy way.

Was a bit emotional seeing Tye Dillenger finally make it to the main roster. He's been in developmental hell for years. Glad for him

Love the guy. Well deserved call-up without a doubt!

Wrestlemania... Enjoyed it overall, but Christ that's a long show....Interesting that there was no backstage segments throughout the show...

Jericho vs Owens was on way too early...combined with taking the title off Owens, it lost the big fight feel it deserved.

Biker Steph is hot...

Olympic Rollins was a terrible idea for an entrance...


The entrances for the Women's Raw title match was impressive, except for poor Nia who got no special treatment....
Don't like how Sasha is booked to look so weak in PPV's...

Enjoyed Lesnar vs Goldberg.....Thought it was as good as you could hope for...

Undertaker vs Reigns....Thought it was well booked tbh, Reigns should be dominantly beating an old man.....should be remembered, in Takers first two Mania's he squashed Jimmy Snuka and Jake Roberts, here Taker was given enough offence just his body couldn't handle it anymore .... Shame about the botched Tombstone spot, and the weak Last Ride, but it was what most of us had feared beforehand, this was one Mania too many....in the end, I was happy to see it over... Reigns' promo on RAW was perfect too...

 

[N.S.N.O.]

RAW.... Was expecting something for Taker... Something like the treatment Flair got when he retired, with guys like Austin, Rock, HHH, HBK, Nash, Kane, Foley, Bret Hart and even Hogan coming out to show their respect..... Perhaps they're saving that for Wrestlemania next year.... Or perhaps, Vince wanted to leave the door open for another match down the road (hopefully not)...
