The stuff they're doing with Roman right now is great. If only he was like this his whole run people wouldn't have hated him being shoved down our throats.
Eh...who am I kidding? Yes they would have. WWE fans just want something to complain about lol.

 Just watched 'Hell In A Cell' ppv. I will talk about Roman Reigns little. People hate Roman Reigns. Mostly because Vince built him wrongly as a face. But it is hard to deny that Roman is a special resource for pro wrestling world. He is very charismatic, has a tremendous look, and he has that special aura. Which are all the good tools for a top leading guy. But not only because of Vince's booking, Roman actually has some flaws too. Modern day pro wrestling is all about fast pace. More faster, you can get more praised. I am not talking about indy guys that are only fast without any connection with fans. In modern day, wrestlers are making matches with extremely fast pace and they are still connected to the fans heavily, and make fans get in to the matches. Most of NJPW wrestlers are like that. Experts consider New Japan wrestlers as standard of good wrestlers in modern day. That's not coincidence. But Roman, his pace for matches are too slow for modern day.  If he is a traditional type wrestler like Ric Flair, Triple H, then it is fine. Traditional wrestling is all about slow build up. But Roman is far from traditional wrestler. He is more like a brawler and counter type wrestler hybrid. Both styles need fast pace to get over in modern era. That is why it is hard for Roman to carry matches on his own. He needs a gimmick matches or fast paced opponent for making good matches. People demand great work rate for top leading stars in this days. NJPW with Okada, the best wrestler in the world, AJPW with Miyahara, NOAH with Shiozaki and Kiyomiya. Not only Japan. There was an obvious reason why people supported Daniel Bryan rather than Roman Reigns in WWE back in the day. Roman has great entertainment value and aura, but he lacks work rate that people demand. Which is very sad, because otherwise, he could have been the perfect choice for the 2020s top leading superstar of WWE. I would talk about Roman more specifically later. |

Is Drew McIntyre losing the belt a sign the WWE is giving up on him, or are they going to have him win the elimination chamber, challenge Randy Orton and win the title back in front of a big crowd at Wrestlemania (assuming the virus is under control in America by then)?
Because I could see either. Just like they cut the Jinder experiment short, I could see Vince giving up on Drew but I could also see the WWE saying "let's hit the reset button and do 'Drew's path to the title II' in front of fans this time.

I think cause they didnt want to waste McIntyre and Reigns at SS. My guess is we will get McIntyre VS Reigns at Wrestlemania. |

They didn't give up on Drew. According to the internal source, they want to keep pushing Drew as a main eventer. But Drew is not a primary plan for Vince for now. He wants Edge VS Randy Orton for the title match at next Wrestlemania. Which is a very bad tactic for long term plan. They need to create a new star, but WWE and Vince keep wanting to go back to the past. Experts said that Edge and Orton don't need a title match for their feud, since they are already established stars, but Vince thinks differently. |

An internal source said, current plan for next wrestlemania is The Rock VS Roman Reigns. Problem is, Dwayne doesn't want to perform at empty arena. He wants crowd to be back. Fortunately, WWE is planning to stop using thunderdome until the end of november. So The Rock is likely to be back at WM. But, it is also going back to the past, which is the bad tactic. Vince needs to create a new rivarly like Rock VS Austin by making Drew VS Reigns at wrestlemania, but Vince is keep going back to the past. |

I highly doubt The Rock is wrestling at mania. but if an "internal Source" said so then it must be true  |

But I can see why you are highly doubted about The Rock's appearance at mania. It was pretty hard to believe for me too. |

Was the Rock suppose to do a 3rd match with Cena? but because he got injured from the 2nd match (while filming a movie) the studios pretty much put a stop to anymore wrestling. that's why I think its BS I think the double mainevent for mania are going to be Edge (royal rumble winner) Vs Randy Orton Drew McIntyre Vs Roman Reigns |
