I feel like fans are mostly unfair to Roman at this point. He's not the man of a thousand moves, but he can put on a good match, works well with a lot of other wrestlers, and knows how to be the ultimate babyface hero while still looking capable (everyone loves underdogs, but I prefer a good guy who I know has a fighting chance). And in spite of plenty of other guys being pushed as well, people still seem to resent him every time he finds his way into the main event. At least he's actually on the show when he's champion. The same can't be said for Brock.

Yeah, you can't help but wonder if, from all that stupid hate, Roman's gonna go Nation of Domination-style heel turn on everybody. I mean, it sounds far fetched, but, you gotta think, all that hate's gotta be taking a toll on him. Driving him to depression. Turning him to the brink of insanity at some point. The question, is when is it going to happen? How much longer can he play the tough guy, the muscle back, the invincible, unbreakable punching bag that everybody gets in line for? You'd think there would be no worrying about him getting badly hurt, but then you look back at Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold, Edge, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Goldberg, Undertaker, Umaga, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, point being, you should not hate them so much, you should love them while they last.

Sadly, after they deliberately went against the fans and made him the one to retire(?) The Undertaker, his chances of getting over look bleaker than ever.

​So, here's the current (it could also be referred to as real) list of their action figures.

  • Kane
  • The Rock
  • Stone Cold
  • Triple H
  • Undertaker

That's just 5 action figures. Sounds kinda incomplete, if you ask me. Which is where my very large wishlist comes in. Note that it's Ruthless Agression-based. That's because that's what the original list looked like to me, especially Kane

  • Al Snow
  • A-Train (this one should also have a collector's edition where he can be customized to look like Albert & Tensai)
  • Batista
  • The Big Show
  • Billy Gunn
  • Booker T
  • Bradshaw (or JBL, doesn't really matter.)
  • Brian Kendrick
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Bubba Ray Dudley
  • Charlie Haas
  • Chavo Guerrero
  • Chris Jericho
  • Christian
  • D-Lo Brown
  • D-Von Dudley
  • Diamond Dallas Page
  • Drew McIntyre
  • Dusty Rhodes
  • Eddie Guerrero (I want him to have black tights with blue & gold decals)
  • Edge
  • Farooq
  • Goldberg
  • Goldust
  • The Great Khali
  • Hardcore Holly
  • The Hurricane
  • Jeff Hardy
  • John Cena
  • Kevin Nash
  • Kurt Angle
  • Lita
  • Mark Henry
  • Matt Hardy
  • Nathan Jones
  • Randy Orton
  • Rey Mysterio
  • Rhyno
  • Ric Flair
  • Ricky Steamboat
  • Rikishi
  • Rob Van Dam
  • Roddy Piper
  • Scott Steiner
  • Sgt. Slaughter
  • Shawn Michaels
  • Stephanie McMahon
  • Tajiri
  • Trish Stratus
  • Ultimo Dragon

I think this may explain why fans boo Roman Reigns. At first, I couldn't figure it out or understand the ungrateful hate but when I watched this, I thought this may have had something to do with it.

Fans boo Roman Reigns for the same reason they had/still continue to boo John Cena:

 

The WWE can't help but keep trying to push him.

 

Best example I have is this:

Personally, I'm more sick of Stephanie McMahon constantly being a nigh-untouchable, Villain Sue heel.

 

Hence why her finally going through a table at WrestleMania 33 and then having to take most of the rest of the year off was like a giant breath of fresh air.

I think for him to say that the fans of Cena are childlren & the haters are grown-ups is too stereotypical.

 

 

Also, here's the TRUE list of characters that were deleted from WWE 2K15 (not sure I posted it yet. Maybe I did, maybe didn't, but I'm posting it now.)

  1. Enzo Amore
  2. Kassius Ohno
  3. Sin Cara
  4. Trish Stratus

Also, once I figure out how to use XNA Lara Posing studio, & download certain models, among other apps, I plan on making a PS3 remake of WWE SmackDown! Here comes the pain!, except, how many members of the roster are going to be in it depends on the graphics. If I'm going to use the glazed graphics from WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007-2010, I can't use these roster members, because models of the following superstars were not made back then;

  • A-Train
  • Billy Gunn
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Bryan Danielson
  • Bubba Ray Dudley
  • D-Lo Brown
  • D-Von Dudley
  • Farooq
  • Goldberg
  • The Hurricane
  • Ivory
  • Jacqueline
  • Kane (2002 outfit)
  • Kevin Nash
  • Ricky Steamboat
  • Rikishi
  • Ryan Reeves
  • Samoa Joe
  • Undertaker (Biker)
  • Val Venis

However, if I don't use the glazed graphics, then I cannot use these characters;

  • Brian Kendrick
  • Charlie Haas
  • Chris Benoit
  • Chuck Palumbo
  • Garrison Cade
  • Hardcore Holly
  • Jamal
  • Jeff Hardy
  • Kenny Dykstra
  • Kurt Angle
  • Paul London
  • Roddy Piper
  • Snitsky
  • Tazz
  • Torrie Wilson
  • Victoria

Either way, I will use these characters;

  • Batista
  • The Big Show
  • Booker T
  • Bradshaw
  • Chavo Guerrero
  • Chris Masters
  • Chris Jericho
  • Christian
  • Curt Hennig
  • Eddie Guerrero
  • Edge
  • Gail Kim
  • Goldust
  • John Cena
  • John Hennigan
  • Kane
  • Lita
  • Mark Henry
  • Matt Hardy
  • Mick Foley
  • The Miz
  • Nathan Jones (mod over Jack Swagger & Kane)
  • Randy Orton
  • Rey Mysterio
  • Ric Flair
  • Rob Van Dam
  • The Rock
  • Sean O'Haire (mod over Batista)
  • Shane McMahon
  • Shawn Michaels
  • Shelton Benjamin
  • Stephanie McMahon
  • Stone Cold Steve Austin
  • Triple H
  • Trish Stratus
  • Undertaker
  • Vince McMahon
  • William Regal

So, which would you rather have? Glazed graphics or non-glazed graphics?
