If people want to complain about a specific subset of fans, they should call out that specific subset. When someone broadly insults the IWC, I believe the sentiment behind it is clear: "I feel superior to this group, so I'm going to pretend that I'm not a part of it and make fun of it to make myself feel even more superior." I just don't care for broad statements like "The IWC loved so and so until they got their push or etc" There's so many different people on forums and etc. I just think it's silly to act like you're not apart of it. The IWC isn't a single entity. |

Goddamn, imagine the amount of people who are going to be rushed to the hospital if (or when for you pessimists  ) Reigns wins the title for heart attacks |

The IWC isn't a single entity. Do you also hate when people say things like "finally WWE is listening to the IWC" happily when a Bryan/Punk type beats Cena, or when Cesaro won the Andre battle royal? Even though those people aren't acting like they're "not a part of it", in fact they're celebrating being part of it, but they're still prescribing their own particular opinions/favourites to "the IWC." That's the problem with the term -- there is definitely a majority hivemind opinion held by most wrestling fans on forums, it'd take a blind man to miss that, but it certainly doesn't apply to all. Saying "the IWC loved so and so until they got their push" is pretty much like saying "the crowd at the Rumble hated Roman Reigns" when realistically, chances are there was at least one Roman Reigns fan in the crowd who disagreed with the haters. |

Very little considering their moms won't be able to hear them from the basement. Swifty FTW. It was just a joke mocking the fact that the wrestling fan is viewed as a fat man in his mother's basement. |

That's a fair point. I myself have changed a lot over the past few months in terms of how I conduct myself on the forums and what not. And yeah, I'd have to agree there's a general consensus, I just don't really think it's fair to lump everyone together as one collective entity. However, I do agree there is a general ideology among most fans. If not, then they are certainly more vocal than the rest. And yeah, I don't think everyone at the Rumble hated Reigns and I think his boo's have been exaggerated. |

Woah Roman won. And there's bitching?! Who'd have thought?
Anyway, haven't seen the match yet, but I'll watch it later, I'm pleased they stuck to their guns and didn't shoehorn Bryan into the main event again, I'm much more interested in seeing him tear it up with Ziggler or Sheamus.

Honestly, the Reigns chatter hasn't been that bad. I expected way worse. |

I can't seriously be the only one who thought Reigns looked really gassed during several parts of the match. I thought for sure he was going to botch the apron dropkick right before he did it. He looked really out of breath mid way through the match. Are you sure you haven't confused selling with being out of breath? I would have killed for just Rollins/Ziggler tonight If you're jonesing for a Rollins vs Ziggler match, they've had like a hundred long matches with each other since Rollins turned on the Shield. I think mostly on Smackdown. |

Yeah actually rereading this thread it's not as bad as I thought it was (from a quick glimpse this morning when I was getting ready to leave it seemed worse).
WM should be a great one.

Shouldn't we give Reigns a  ing chance before everybody condemns him? WrestleMania will make or break the guy but he has already lost no matter what happens. Case 1: He puts on a fantastic match with Brock. 3 people will say that Reigns convinced them, the rest will be like "Brock carried him, Reigns still sucks yadda yadda yadda" Case 2: The match sucks and WrestleMania 31 will go down as the one with the crappiest main event. Everybody will say that they knew this was going to happen and that Reigns should go away. Either way the guy loses because instead of giving him a fair chance people have already judged him. |

Have a bad feeling the Main Event will be Lesnar vs Goldberg all over again.

No. Roman Reigns had a good match with Daniel Bryan. That much is true. It does NOT in any way indicate that he is ready to main event WrestleMania right now. He's average in the ring and below average on the microphone. Neither will change within the next five weeks. Going ahead with Brock vs. Roman is a mistake. Pretty much this. Whatever happens his first reign can't be that long considering Rollins has to cash in (it BETTER be successfully *and it is what I expect*) by MITB 2015. So yeah Reigns' first reign should be like 2-3 months although they could easily have him win it from Rollins in a month which would suck because Rollins is actually ready to have the WWE Title for a long first reign.. |

1 Good Match against a Person that carried him trough the Match does not make him Wrestlemania Main Event worthy!
IMO a guy that is even worse than Cena should not even be near the Intercontinental Title !
