Somebody probably knows, does Roman actually increase the ratings? I know he's a special attraction now, and their attendance and ratings are apparently pretty good. Do the shows get more viewers when he's announced? Is attendance lower when he isn't on a ppv? Does he sell a ton of merch?

I know that the internet freaks talk about the brilliance of the bloodline and the tribal chief head of the table big dog awooo but that doesn't mean the normal people feel the same way. I have really no idea if the Roman Reigns Special Appearance approach is working or not.

Based on the few main event matches I've seen with Roman, I'd probably just ignore him. I'd consider Gunther or Freakin or whoever is best to be the real champ and skip the long plodding lovely main events.

he's a needle mover because the wwe universe has had it beaten into their heads for the last five plus years that he's a needle mover so you better pay attention because when the tribal chief shows up its a big deal etc

one of the funniest posts ive seen here in a while was someone assuming that everyone loved Beepie because of his crazy antics on Being the Elite and that's where the nickname Beepie came from lol

Hah. I can’t remember offhand but I’ve watched way too much BTE and didn’t they just call him Bri or Brian when they didn’t just refer to him as their shoe contact?

Yeah he’s not had real inertia due to his own actions but because he had an entire company pushing him like Ronald McDonald for a decade. I mean Ronald McDonald the mascot not the guy from Philly with the sweet martial art moves that mocks large birds. I doubt anyone will really miss the guy himself but if you are or were a fan of wwe you had no choice but do root for the guy that was their programming 90% of the time. I doubt kids will grow up and fondly say things like “Aknowledge Me” or “I’m the tribal chief” a decade from now but will have some vague recollection of Roman Reigns being the strongest and the top guy. WWE the brand is the star and the “The experience” because they are the biggest brand and is wrestling for 70% plus of North Americans (if not more). Roman’s like coffee from Tim Hortons (McDonalds for Americans I guess): it’s not the best coffee, nor the reason you are there but since you are there it will do.
