I hate Roman Reigns, but this really isn't anything bad. There's nothing else he can really say in response to that kind of a situation with the questions that were posed to him. He's right, too, as unfortunate as it is.

76% of the audience is over 18 years old. So, uh, good talk, bruh.
I'd agree WWE is a family friendly show. But that's not what he meant. He was trying to belittle grown men for booing him because he doesn't know how to deal with fans thinking he sucks. Reigns just isn't intelligent. It's fine, statistically speaking, most people aren't, but if he's going to carry this company, he needs to figure out how to do an interview. He has John Cena at his disposal, he needs to learn. Even the dumbest of dogs can be taught how to sit.
I don't know, maybe by kids show he meant "screaming girls and middle aged women unhappy in their marriage" show. It's very difficult to get a beat on the audience in this day in age...

It's been a kids show since 2008 but you guys will pretend that you didn't know as an excuse to hate him.

He acts as though it's like one old dude in the crowd booing him...dude it's EVERYBODY! And when your programming runs until 11pm on a school night and the owner is dropping F bombs for the arena crowd to hear.....that's not PG or a time when children's programming airs.
If Reigns could say the wrong thing on purpose he'd be the best mic guy since Piper

And then you'll have people come in here and defend what he says, "It's been a kids show"
Lol so what the hell is wrong with you for watching a kid show?? Are you a kid?? It's not a kids show, it's a wrestling show, and as a wrestller Roman Reigns sucks. He needs to stop trying to figure out what's wrong with all of us and start figuring out what's wrong with himself
Bravo though WWE on selecting this guy as your spokesmen! Your ratings continue to decline, lets alienate the only fans we have left. (thumbs up)
A sound business strategy.

If WWE wrestling was still on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 11 am, then yes, it would definitely be a kids show.
To say that WWE is a kids show now is ridiculous. Showings going from 8 - 11 on a Monday night aren't really directed towards kids. I am sure kids do watch it Monday night, but probably until 9:30 or 10, then its time for bed since they have school in the morning.

It's been a kids show since 2008 And why do you think it became more family oriented? Because a former World Champion and one of their top guys murdered his family due to brain damage. Wrestling has always been aimed at kids. I'm going to take a shot in the dark that you became a wrestling fan as a kid like most of us? As for this, Roman is right. If you go there to flip off the faces, and cheer the heels, you're part of the reason wrestling sucks now. If you like a heel BOO THEM! Hollywood Hogan was over as hell, as was the rest of the nWo, but they got booed and had trash thrown at them by guys wearing their shirts! That's being an effective heel. Just listen to the roof blow off when Lex Luger finally made Hollywood submit clean. That was effective payoff thanks to a great heel. People need to stop cheering guys like Kevin Owens doing heel things and boo him if you really want to support him. I don't even like Roman all that much (though I'm sure someone will quote me with a hilarious gif to show their doubt) but ya'll drive me crazy bashing things and complaining about things you know nothing about. |

Luckily kids today have DVR pretty accessible. Id be so mad if VCR didnt record, or I had to choose between Nitro or Raw....tough times |

Wrestling has pretty much always been "family entertainment", as in, for everyone. Aside from those Attitude Era years.
Though there's no doubt that the current product is aimed at children, every bit as, if not more than adults. When he's talking about someone flipping him off at a kids show, he's absolutely right. There are kids in attendance. It's not the Attitude Era anymore, so he's absolutely allowed to make the assertion that kind of behaviour is reprehensible.
But no. Let's all use this as another excuse to bash Reigns. Because he's the devil, and everything wrong with the current product is his fault. Grr Reigns, you suck. Why can't WWE push a vanilla midget instead!!

Linda's senate run doesn't eclipse the horrible thing Benoit did. I'm sure that was a factor, but it's ludicrous to suggest that Benoit was not the overriding and main reason behind the change. |

You're looking for something that isn't there. Those two things (Along with the partnership with Mattel) were all contributing factors. |

It's fine, statistically speaking, most people aren't, but if he's going to carry this company, he needs to figure out how to do an interview. He has John Cena at his disposal, he needs to learn. Even the dumbest of dogs can be taught how to sit. I don't know, maybe by kids show he meant "screaming girls and middle aged women unhappy in their marriage" show. It's very difficult to get a beat on the audience in this day in age... This is pretty much accurate. There's usually at least one thing in Reigns' public interviews that invokes an audible groan, simply because it's not how you want your top guy to behave. He manages to either belittle a significant portion of the audience every time he opens his mouth, or just shows a complete lack of self-awareness and inability to think for himself. The whole "learn from John Cena" thing is entirely true here, and no, that doesn't mean we're asking him to be a carbon copy of John Cena in the ring or as a character. He could stand to learn a lot from John in the PR department. Trouble is, if what individuals backstage have said is to be believed, Reigns doesn't seem to really care to learn from anybody. |

Well we all love SpongeBob, right? Of course it's a kids show, it just has adult themes so it's more "family friendly" as opposed to being solely child friendly.
Now we got threads hating on Roman Reigns for breaking news from 2010....

Who is booking him for these interviews? Shouldnt they be keeping him away from public opinion until Wrestlemania?
