”Roman Reigns is not on the Australia show. He’s not on the Backlash show in France either by the way, for fans over there… Roman is gonna be wrestling at the Royal Rumble and then his next big match - he could do a TV match - but he’s gonna wrestle at the Royal Rumble and then his next match is gonna be his WrestleMania match. After that, I would presume it’s gonna be Saudi and SummerSlam.”
“Some people need to hear this stuff because this has kind of been a thing. Brock’s not the only part-time guy. But there are a lot of full-time guys that are never gonna, as a collective, reach our potentials if we are dominated in this portion of the year by part-time guys.”
“Whenever you have a champion who is on every single live event, every single house show, every single appearance that’s scheduled, it changes numbers,” he said. “It’s true. I’ve seen it before. The tour we had after I beat Triple H in Dallas [at WrestleMania 32] the numbers didn’t lie and it’s not going to be any different [this time].”

What a difference 5 years can make…
He should have lost to Sammi at Chamber last year or Cody at Mania, extending his run so that Cody could face some “adversity” has fucked the entire thing up and extended the Bloodline way past its expiration date. I was pulling for Jey at SummerSlam… he’s young, a rising and popular star, and it would have made him more than Cody or Sammi, who cares if Cody finishes the story at this point?
TL,DR: I’m sick of Roman, just go away if you don’t want to work.
+1
While I acknowledge my tribal chief, the less he works the more I’d like to see the title on someone else.
I really enjoy longer title runs, but yea it just feels like it’s time for it to go to someone else. Who should get it is debatable of course but I really feel like if they don’t do it at Mania this year, things will really start to sour.
I like long title runs, as long as they also throw in some shorter ones to break it up now and then. That being said once they have it this long its just ridiculous. Becomes a mix of ‘guys a cheating cunt, maybe the company should stop him from cheating??’ and 'well if he’s so damn good then why does the company spend money on all this other talent who can’t even come close? fire em all and bring in better talent! /kayfabe".
Main damn reason I started paying less attention to WWE lol.
i think long title reins are only good when they’re meaningful. a ric flair rein in the 80s was monumental because he carried it from territory to territory defending it and seeing him was a pretty big event. the current trend of padding out reins just to break the last record so they can do a twitter announcement just devalues the entire thing.
Yea I admit at this point it has gotten pretty ridiculous.
Yup.
the bloodline storyline has only been going on for just under two years but it feels like it’s been going on forever, at the cost of building up new talent or giving time to the women’s division.
