Correct

I-i-i be poppin bottles

Afraid so

this is one of these rare nights where Roman Reigns finally decides to bring his lazy ass to work
that makes it worse because now WWE has to plan around this piss icicle that you can never really make concrete plans for because he'll dip out and take another big leave of absence

>>18259775

>>18259531 (OP)
I was honestly hoping he would never come back

>>18259775
kek fpbp

>>18259531 (OP)
Fuck no it wasn't. I'll fully admit Roman's great (wish he would come in more but still) but while he get's big pops, he has not, and will not ever, get austin level pops.

To be fair, almost any male would have gotten the same reaction at that point. They could have sent out the janitor to cut a Spanish language heel promo and it would have gotten a medium pop.

Random janitor cussing in Spanish for no reason, in the middle of a Breakker - Punk match?
Yeah no shit, that guy would main event the next Mania.

The first few seconds was definitely Austin level pop. It wasn't as sustained as Austin or Rock though. No one can recreate this anymore.

I honestly wish it could have been Oba instead. He needs to be brought up and take Roman's place as the big "chief in charge" type wrestler. He's already doing that shit in NXT, he could easily drop the belt without losing, and do the same thing up on the main brand.

1) Because no one wants to see yet another black tough-guy gimmick character. It's the most dimeless shit in wrestling.
2) Samoan cartel will shoot kill him if he takes Roman's spot. They have the fed on lock.

He will cost cm chud the SS title match "accidentally".

>>18260853
No. I've watched that.
Not even close.
There is a difference between a "yaaay how surprising" and "HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT HE'S HERE" pop.

>>18260868
1) He's already doing that, and is over as shit. People love him, plus he's got one of the most easily over things you can have with a wrestler: a theme that you can interact with.
2) He's retiring in about a year. That'd be the perfect time to get Oba up onto the roster as the next big deal.

>>18259531 (OP)
kek and he didn't have to hang from the roof for 45 minutes

>>18260816
He is black, he wont sell 1/10th of Romans merch.
Gunther level is his limit.

Last actual austin pop was sami turning and hitting him with the chair
