A thought occurs.
The most over babyface, the guy who gets the most outright CHEERS, in WWE right now is arguably Braun Strowman, a guy they're pushing as a top HEEL. #2 right behind him is Rusev, another big, bruising HEEL. #3 is Chris Jericho, an obnoxious heel that is usually treated as dangerous in the ring.
AJ is also in the mix, but he's obnoxious enough that, combined with picking on Ellsworth, he gets a fair amount of actual boos.
What the fuck is wrong with these idiots? They've gotten three heels to get cheered strongly on complete fucking accident. If they just turned Roman "heel," had him not talk so goddamn much, CERTAINLY didn't script him to be a cornball Cena knockoff, and just beat up dorks like Rusev of Strowman do, he'd be more over than Vince could goddamn imagine.
Don't give me the "It's PG" or "It's a kid's show" bullshit. The same holds true for Rusev and The Abominable Strowman, and they got over as fuck by being PG bad asses.
Bet money that, instead of applying lessons learned from this to Roman and actually making money, they will ruin what has Strowman over because they don't want a heel cheered. God forbid they actually turn him "face," and he becomes a doofy, one-dimensional bore.
People like Braun because he destroys manlets and isn't afraid of anything.
People naturally like heels before they aren't presented as unbeatable Supermen. They have more engaging personalities. Even Jasethy had more personality as a heel. WHAT KINDA MAN ARE YOU, JAAAAHHHHHNNNNN.
Rusev is the only exception, because he's a face anyways who gets treated as a heel by the narrative. Fans see through that crap.
>Rusev is a face meme
So original. Back to the drawing board, Carter.

>Braun is over
How autistic are you? Smarks liking someone doesn't fucking mean they're over. Holy shit.
He gets little to no reaction, and generally boos when he's talking/doing heel things.
Fuck off, you retard.

>and generally boos when he's talking/doing heel things.
That would mean he's over.
You dumb mark.

>general, lukewarm boos is being over

It's more over than some "guys".
