*works an entire crowd of smarks into a furious, frothing nonstop frenzy for a full 15 minutes without saying a single word or performing a single wrestling maneuver*

would have been cool had the commentary worked into it instead of just going
"wow thes crowd boo who they like and cheer who they hate"
>>2660042
He has no charisma and wouldn't be able to talk over the crowd with his monotone voice. That was pretty much the only option they had.
*works entire audience into changing the channel*
>>2660042
>works an entire crowd of smarks into a furious, frothing nonstop frenzy for a full 15 minutes after three years of trying to get them to cheer for him.
Fixed that for ya.
>>2660042
pretty sure the booking is what did that
>>2660113
Pretty sure you're wrong, 2010-2013 Cena was booked WAY worse, but never got anything like that reaction, except at the ECW show in 2006.
>>2660042
*works the RAW rating to fall THREE times faster than the cable decline; discarding the theory that RAW's decline is just following normal TV downfall*
>>2660123
Cena never retired the freakin' Undertaker. Also, fans didn't get vocal at Raw the way they do now in 2010-2013.
>>2660469
>because Reigns is far, far more hated.
Yes, because he's far, far less talented or likeable or interesting as John Cena on every level. That's how you be a heel in 2017: you have to genuinely suck and be devoid of talent.
>>2660482
Weirdly it doesn't seem to be working for Jinder
>>2660487
Really? Seems like it's working perfectly.
>>2660042
If smarks were actually smart they'd give him crickets instead of heat.
Or idk, stop giving WWE their money while also spending their days bitching about WWE.
>>2660496
I really hope Jinder wins just to see what would happen exactly.
If Jinder doesn't win, his push will be for nothing and he will be taken even less seriously.
Even if he loses it in 2 weeks on Smackdown, that's fine.
But if he loses the match, he'll lose all momentum he had going for him and no one will take him seriously at all.
He'll be in low midcard.
>>2660487
>gets booed
How is it not?
>>2660042
seriously, people don't realize it now but the heat that this dude has gotten is gonna be fucking legendary, especially if it kills the business
>>2660123
But that's the reason fans have gotten so vocal now, they don't want to relive that situation again.
>works
That implies the crowd is doing what they want. If that was the case they would not be muting mics and changing audio for youtube clips of him still after 3 years.
That part he was motioning like they were eating out of his hand was laughable. They were going to boo the hell out of him no matter what he did.
Remember maggle the Wrestlemania after raw is when the fans boo people they usually like!
>>2660042
I'm fucking seething that they didn't have him pull a bait and switch by dressing up as The Undertaker and coming out to his music.
The fat smarks would have literally rioted if that happened.

Sounds like one of his matches :^)
>>2660488
>>2660526
He gets tepid heat for his entrance and that's it, crowds are DOA for his matches.
>>2660520
Who gives a shit about Jinder's future? He's fucking >>>/trash/
>>2660042
Not gonna lie, former Roman mark here. This is fucking hilarious watching Roman crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the world title.
>>2661172
ROASANA REEEEN
>>2661172
>Roman was cool as the silent big guy in the Shield
>He didn't say a word but you know he's the one with the most pull out of the three
And to think Dean ended up being the most over babyface coming out the group
>>2660042
*ruins all of that heat by reverting back to his boring underdog character the week afterwards*
Why do smarks intentionally block this bullshit out of their heads like it didn't happen?
>>2660538
This, seeing this place and Reddit (they're one and the same, after all) creaming their pants over Roman's "masterful heel work" was pathetic. Guess what, if you ruin everything for everyone for 3 years straight, people will hate you, and if people are booing you and you walk out, they'll CONTINUE to boo you. An expert of the craft right there.
>>2660526
He got big heat when he won that match, but there's been seriously diminishing returns since. Nobody takes him seriously
nearly all the pushing of the last 3 years was on roman and by now this guy is just "average over" with the casuals and got moneyless nuclear heat with the hardcore
what a massive waste of effort, money and opportunity...
Worked 1.5 million people into no longer watching Monday Night Raw
Tick Tock 2019 is less than 2 years away

>average over
>autograph line at Wrestlemania is so long the other inferior Samoan had to close up shop and leave

Yea Singhbad, just like u said.
>>2661802
Bruh, I like Roman, but that isn't how that phrase works
>>2661802
>>2660089 and >>2661268
are right. I fucking changed the channel. Wrestler standing around listening to boos for 15 minutes to open RAW is absolute shit and 1 step above Triple H + Stephanie 15 minute monologue that fucks the show. I stopped watching RAW after Mania and if it wasn't for the Tag Team Div I'd give up on Shitdown too.
