And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

He'd leave during football season but he was also the biggest draw of all time and legitimately drew each time he came back until 2000. He wasn't taking credit for some influx of indie guys, at worst he was taking credit for fans not watching football anymore, except actually drawing people. And it's not like he'd do it every year either.

its penny stock and given to fluctuations. I believe the latest price raise was because Vince sold off some shares for XFL cash and triggered a computerized bidding war. iffy on the computerized bit.

Is it weird that Roman's "mega push" which is supposedly killing the business involves him not holding the title, main eventing very many shows and losing a lot of his matches

lol.

Go ahead and name me Roman's last clean singles loss that wasn't to Brock Lesnar or Finn Balor.

He definitely loses more matches for someone in his position than you would expect. There's no argument for it being good for him though since they are long past that sort of thing doing any good. I'm going to play Pillars of Eternity 2 on May 8th

It doesn't help that people think we're in year 2 of the Reigns of terror where Roman is champion of everything when really hasnt held a world belt and has been hanging around the upper midcard for the most part

He's main evented 4 consecutive Wrestlemanias, been in the final four of the past 4 Royal Rumbles (including winning one and being the last guy eliminated in 2 others), main evented Summerslam and a shitton of RAW's and lower level PPV's in the past 5 years, I don't think we can really say he's an upper midcarder unless you want to point to his period of slumming it in the Intercontinental division.

No you don't get it, the only thing that would make Roman overpushed is if he held a fake belt too long*

Mustve been dreaming Roman main evented mania and that him not being champ means less when the champ only has to wrestle thrice a year so instead its a constant battle for #1 contender big dog status.

In a way it's amazing the extent WWE sticks to 50-50 booking that it even does it to a guy they want to be the top guy.

Mr Russo, I'm not sure if anyone has explained this to you, but key props or 'McGuffins' are only effective when the characters and plot treat them as important, regardless of their intrinsic value. By doing so, the prop GAINS intrinsic value and can be used to bring a supporting character into the spotlight.
