Honest question: If he's not significantly impacting ratings

>>2447890
>record high revenue
>record high merchandise sales
>record high wwe PPV gates
>record high wrestlemania axxess lines
>record high smark tears

>>2447903
>Record high
Show the record then

Vince is stubborn and believes that only a small group are the ones booing him

>>2447930
He's right as proven by being top merch mover and having lines so long at axxess that Joe had to leave early so they could use his area as overflow

>>2447890
WWE makes zero dollars from ratings. USA does.

He gives WWE youtube views and sweat shop merchandise sales. That's straight cash money

He gets reaction

>He gets a reaction, which is more than most people on Raw.
>Vince is in too deep at this point for his pride to let him admit he fucked up Roman's push.
>It doesn't matter, their money comes from other sources, like the TV deals. Even if ratings go down, it's still the highest rated thing on USA, so NBC Universal will still pay out the nose for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX-YfuVQmX8

There's a few reasons. The third one is my favorite, personally.

>>2447936
By that logic, anyone in The New Day should be in that spot. Or Owens. Or AJ .Go to the WWE Shop, there's not a single piece of Roman merch on the first page of their best sellers.

>>2447952
New Day is hosting Mania.
AJ Styles is wrestling Shane McMahon
Owens held their top belt for six months.

By their (asinine) logic, these are all roughly equivalent to Roman Reigns' spot.

>>2447978
Fair point with The New Day. I don't consider AJ having a competitive match with a non-wrestler (after having previously lost three times in a row to a jobber) and Owens losing to Goldberg in 22 seconds equivalent to Roman Reigns' spot.

You don't honestly think they'd do either of those things with Roman, do you?

>>2447988
AJ wrestling Shane is a really high place on the card to them. They put Shane against Undertaker last year.

They protected Owens against Goldberg and he's beating Jericho at Mania. So it's fine.

You have to look at this through their point of view.

Senility and cokehead brain damage?

>>2448000
Trips confirms

>>2448009
Yeah? Pretty much.

>>2447890
Vince's ego.

>>2448022
Not why they do it, why they SHOULD do it.

He's the draw

The smarks who complain online and boo always watch every week and don't buy merch.

They mean nothing to the WWE.

>>2448055
>Smarks don't buy merch
They buy merch to an autistic degree. Look at any NXT event.

>>2448055
>smarks don't buy merch

Zack fucking Ryder

>>2447952
The smarks dont go to events and buy merchandise. They don't leave their house, so they use the site to buy that crap. Roman sells at the merch booth. And dont even compare youtube hits.

>>2448203
>smarks don't leave their house

So who's booing Roman at the shows?

>>2448203
Again, look at any NXT event. You think the obese anti-smarks talking about "manlets" are filling those crowds?
