If they were going to completely service the fans :

Rock Betrays Roman @ Wrestlemania - Roman retains Belts.
Rock VS Roman @ Backlash - Rock Wins.
Rock VS Cody VS Roman @ Money in the Bank - Roman Wins

Cody VS Roman Reigns SummerSlam - Cody Wins and Finishes Story. Bloodline decimated.

Roman And Seth reform as Shield.
Solo goes Solo.

But they never truly give the fans what they want.
Thats bad for business.

2007-2008 was a slept year as it was around Barack Obama/Michelle Obama's Defeat of John Mccain and Sarah Palin. The wwe changed to Tv-Pg around 2009 but Summerslam stayed Tv-14 for some years. I switched to the then TNA Impact and returned to wwe around 2022-2023. Now it's all about the wrestling streaming services, the return of
tv-14, and territory wrestling. Wrestling is mature, and a quality wrestling show mirrors a Pg-13- Tv-16 rating

I’m 37 been watching WWF my whole life this product is crap the roster is crap there’s a handful of guys that can actually WRESTLE do promos I’m so tired of Roman and now he’s going to put a uso over after we suffered for 3 years of him being champ part time champ at that 2 times a month 1 episode of smack down a month and 1 paper view every other month they need new writers to safe there company watch wrestle mania 10 the vary first match Owen vs. Brett that match is better than any match in the past 2years easily

  @ChrisMann86 Well I'd already been watching wrestling almost a decade by the time you were born, Chris. And I certainly don't think the current product is 'crap'. Could it be better? Absolutely. But it's a lot better than it was a couple of years ago.
  
  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but personally I think the Bloodline storyline is one of the best I've seen in 40+ years of watching wrestling.
  
  I agree that nothing Roman has done between the ropes can compare to Owen vs Bret at WMX. But come on - that's one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time. There's very little that CAN compare to it.

  @Someone I do think the blood line story is good for a while I don't know how I feel right now they aren't gonna have jey return until probably in a few months I kind of turned on it after SummerSlam but triple h could get back on track

Can anyone tell me the last time that mr. super champ has even won a title match without some kind of interference?? I mean a clean 1,2,3…. I’ll be waiting! Kevin Owens technical beat him over a year ago when Heyman couldn’t get the handcuffs off of Roman.

  @~D~ Ummmm let's see wise guy Roman did unify the titles against Lesnar WITHOUT ANY HELP from ANYBODY jack azz. You do realize fatal 4 way matches are no dq matches meaning he can do whatever he wants meaning winning a match clean means NOTHING so you can go eat Joe Biden and Barry Saetoro's Richards

  THOMAS BOLING · 5 months ago
  
  @~D~ You do realize he defeated Lesnar at Summerslam in Nashville WITHOUT help from Usos. They were there to keep Theory away yes but that was also a LAST MAN STANDING match meaning no dq. Do better research dummy before you throw out accusations and learn what no dq means. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about

  @Eric sanders Wwe savior Jey uso sucks I agree Roman needs to go I would rather see The Miz get another run or Randy Orton come back beat Roman and go out on top the roster and product is garbage like I said watch wrestle mania 10 first match Owen Hart vs. Brett Hart that’s wrestling

Personally I would love them to build a Roman vs Gunther match for WrestleMania! Like Warrior vs Hogan...Intercontinental champion vs the Universal Champion. I know it won't happen but man it would be a awesome match!

  The R · 1 years ago
  
  @BDE fan Really? Using what criteria?
  
  Bobby can't cut a promo - he has the squeaky voice of a five year old girl. On top of that, he can't sell to save his life. Despite his impressive size and real life combat accolades, he doesn't come across as dangerous or intimidating. He has no idea how to pace or structure a match, which is why - after more than 15 years in the business - he still needs his opponents to call the matches and remind him what spots are coming up.
  
  Then there's his connection with the fans. He just doesn't click with the audience the way Roman does. WWE has given Bobby chance after chance after chance - and he's never risen to the occasion. The best he's been is a placeholder champ.
  
  You might personally prefer Bobby Lashley, but to say he's 'better than Roman ever was' is nonsensical and completely detached from reality.
  
  I'm not dissing Bobby. He's a great athlete and is in incredible shape for his age. But he's not the guy. He's a midcarder. And there's nothing wrong with that.
