Lol @ yall put that on Roman.

Last I checked...he aint the one who owns WWE.

Last I checked...Roman ain't an executive. Vince and Khan are.

He and Khan were the ones who announced they were gonna do more stadium shows. But then forgetting majority of their ppvs aren't even stadium worthy. That's not Roman's fault.

Vince tried to make MITB as big as WM was this year...and failed. This what happens when you give fans subpar bookings, a lack of creative ideas, and microwave storylines. They thought that WM high was gonna carry over to the other ppv's. Naw. Lol!

Lol @ blaming the man carrying the title(s)...and NOT the muthafuccas who actually own and run the damn company. Geezus crust.

haha
i don’t really blame roman. but i’m picking apart the arguments being made here. IF he is this generations hogan as @RodyRod mentioned that should only appear at stadium shows, then he’s insinuating roman’s name alone being on the card should draw more ticket sales

that wasn’t the case with MITB and i don’t think it will be the case for summerslam…because the product isn’t hot right now

so if the main argument for why he shouldn’t defend his title at non-stadium shows doesn’t hold up, why the fuck can’t he defend his title at non-stadium shows?

 

[Chi-Town B]

Yeah

all these “This is just like Brock!!!” takes are just WRONG lol

So Roman not going months without defending his title, did I miss a match of his since Mania

 

[IP360]

Yeah

all these “This is just like Brock!!!” takes are just WRONG lol

They tryin to force that comparison so bad. Lol

 

[already home_17]

we’re not talking one or two months

if the rumors are true and roman will miss MITB, his next title defense will likely be at summerslam. the world champions first defense in nearly four months.

and y’all are like “naw it’s okay because he survived cancer”

WHAT?!

Uhhh...b/c at the end of the day...Roman still need an opponent as big of a draw as he is. It's not on ONLY him. Once you've faced a person like Brock at WM...who else is left?? Only person close enough is Randy. That's it.

HulKKK Hogan STILL needed Savage...Warrior...Andre to fill them seats. Every top guy that's ever come thru the WWE...needed an opponent as big as them to bring in a draw. THIS current version of WWE barely has that.

Hell...isn't one of Chi-Town's biggest complaints is them bringing back "old" wrestlers. Why is that? Draw. Shyt says a lot don’t you think. WWE essentially saying...

"We gotta bring back Edge...Cena...Brock to face Roman in order for us to draw fans in to these ppv events"

You just said the product ain't hittin right now. That's not on Roman. Bruh held up his end for a year & half now. At some point yall gotta start shifting your gripes at the people running the company.

Yall want him to defend his title(s) at these ppv's (which he's been doing for year & half btw)? So Roman vs Ricochet is gonna fill them seats? Or how bout Roman vs Eziekel/Elias? That'll get the fans in the stadiums. Lol!

If they change their mind and have Roman face Riddle at MITB...cool. If not...cool. Hopefully this forces creative to come up with better storylines until he returns. Or gives some of these other talents a legit push.

 

[Chi-Town B]

So you saying no one is worthy of a championship match, that put Roman in a bad light. No matter what you think of Shawn, Hunter, Bret and Cena they made their opponents matter when they got in the ring, so Roman not good enough to do that

WHAT?!

Only 4 months??

The horror.

Brock went nearly a full year. Relax. We know yall miss him. He'll be back man. Lol.

 

[Duwop]

Roman needs to be a fighting champion....

Fuck is niggaz talking about. The world title picture needs to be built up some more.

You tell us. You the main one who be griping about WWE not doing that. Not boosting up the "younger" talent.

You that eager to see Roman vs Gulak? Roman vs Mad Cap? Hell...how bout Roman vs *insert NXT talent*? Lol!

There's AJ, Riddle, Lashley, Rollins and Drew and you can throw Sheamus in there.

roman vs riddle - HIAC or MITB
roman vs orton - summer slam
roman vs mcintyre - UK stadium show

and since he’s raw’s champion too

roman vs styles
roman vs lashley

he didn’t have to defend his title vs all of them between backlash and the UK show but there were plenty of feuds for him this spring and summer

but the best you could do was roman vs elias or ricochet

you’re smarter than that

and i said from the beginning it was pathetic for wwe to put both belts on roman before sending him off on vacation. that’s not me blaming reigns but y’all hear what you want to hear

 

[IP360]

There's AJ, Riddle, Lashley, Rollins and Drew and you can throw Sheamus in there.

...so recycle the same people. Gotcha.

Lol

 

[Chi-Town B]

...so recycle the same people. Gotcha.

Lol

So you don't want him facing anyone else the reminder of this stale title reign and foh name dropping the rock

Naw bruh...YOU know better.

So had they put both belts on Brock...he would've been any better?? They'd have to put out an APB on belts. B/c you likely ain't gonna see them until WM 2023. Lol!!

I rather have him return to a ppv that means something. SS is perfect. But if Vince no longer values all the other ppv's not named WM/RR/SS...then why bother? Especially if the rest of card is meh to trash.

Again...Roman did that for a year & half. 4 months ain't shyt. WWE fans will still be there regardless.

But YOU kept griping about wanting new/fresh talent pushed. And the only person you can come up wit is Riddle.

Damn Preist can't get a run? Mad Cap? Wal...Gunther? I thought for sure you was gonna mention them. Don't they fit what you've been griping about? They not worthy of having Roman face them so he can make them better?? Had you mentioned them, I probably would've been on board.

But instead...you mentioned the same ole same ole. Meh

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Damn y’all been at it with this hatin ass Nigga for hours

You bringing up two different issues and combining them. I do call out WWE for not making new stars but that don't have nothing to do with Roman not having a title defense in 3 months.

 

[RodyRod]

I honestly do want to see Roman vs Lashley in a 15-18 min match with them going at it without inteferrence. I honestly think they could make a classic match together.

In a year (really 6mos but creative is what they are) WALTER/GUNTHER can step it up to the plate. Could be the WWE's version of Wardlow if they do it right

 

[Chi-Town B]

The tag titles are more important than the Universal and WWE titles and that's while a certain someone is the undisputed champ
