Popular culture has passed you by.
Starting to think that Roman is seriously unwell. Maybe it's a medical condition, maybe he's just made out of glass. This is pretty morbid speculation, but maybe the explanation for Roman's reign isn't that WWE books him shittily or that he is a lazy bum. Maybe he just can't do more dates and WWE sticks with him out of pity, loyalty or inertia.

Nah they just learned from Brock that a champ can be a “special attraction” but thats earned by being a cross sport legend and draw and not the third guy in the shield

Also not surprised the guy who had a run called The Reign of Terror is booking the worse remake

I don't think there's any sort of conspiracy theory beyond it other than "HHH loves agonizingly long title reigns" and "Roman's the only person in the company they've ever bothered to build to this level so they have to drag this poo poo out as long as humanly possible"

He’s been at least the smartest person in the company since he was able to pull out of Mania right before it was to happen because of COVID, say “I’m not coming back till I know I’ll be safe”, and get that and the exact same spot he had when he left, with a pay raise

Now he has that plus a third of the scheduled appearances

edit: Vince loved him and wanted him as the guy. HHH loves him and wants him as the guy. I really think it’s that simple. In terms of how long it’ll last: he breaks Hogan’s record this summer. After that, I don’t rule out him breaking Bruno’s. Would have been insane to consider that 365 days ago, but now I wouldn’t be shocked

Maybe at some point they’ll start caring about the number of defences instead of just sheer length and Roman’ll get booked on a Goldberg run

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.

Brock is a once in a lifetime talent across the world. His aura is one that transcends and he us an attraction in everything because Brock himself is the attraction. He'd be the top guy in any era of history.

Roman is a guy they pushed. He never had or has an aura. He's not special. WWE has had special people on their roster while Roman's been there and all have been or were kept away from him because if they were in the sane ring it would be clear he does not belong. Samoa Joe and GUNTHER cone to mind.

He'll they put Roman in there with John Cena and Cena made him look like he should just quit wrestling on the spot as he was nothing standing next to Cena.

that didn’t happen though because he came back before there was a vaccine and wwe still wasn’t doing testing like aew was.

i think he mainly saw an opportune time to increase his leverage and also get veneers for some reason???

they put Roman in the same ring with Joe eight times, four of which were singles, one of which was the main event for Backlash 2018 that the crowd utterly hated, bringing about 'BEAT THE TRAFFIC' chants

I wonder if they are just letting him take it easy and have the most rehab time and the like between matches to make sure that there is no chance his leukemia returns, while aiming for the longest title run thing

It is 2029. Roman has completed his metamorphosis into a half-human half-giant title belt, completing the golden prophecy

He is now seemingly impervious to harm and commands an army of Uso gholas

That’d be cool. I’m picturing a golden Colossus from the X-Men but with long soaking wet hair and a WWE logo where his face used to be.

an iconic once in a generation title run that is so powerful that after every match people declare "I wonder if he got hurt early and that's why the match was like that?" and such a vital presence in the promotion people sometimes wonder if he secretly died.

he's breaking brunos record

hell, they made seth a new belt so they could have "world champion" matches without involving roman. he's beating rock at mania, probably cody again at the mania after that if plans don't change again. roman reigns

Roman should just retire, Michael Cole can give us the weekly update on Roman’s reign length while he maybe does a cameo at Wrestlemania and the Saudi shows. Ten years from now he can drop the belt to Dominik.

Kinda with you there. He’s got so much inertia after a decade plus as the sole focus that it would take effort to make someone else at his level and the only one that believes in putting forth effort in wwe is Vince. Vince was a driven lunatic awnserable to no one so every dude that might give a drat was either driven out, retired, died or broken like a horse. Now that Vince is gone the only guys left are yes men and a failson with a bad ticker who barely got the throne so it’s Roman until the heat death of the universe. Anyone else might make the money guys nervous and Hunter can be easily replaced. It COULD be done but why ice skate uphill for cold doughnuts?

Speaking of failsons: are Rubber Chickens still banned from wwe live events?
