He needs to become relevant first before he can become "great."

Supposedly Ryback talking about the issue with the contract negotiation.

In short - Is unhappy that Losers of Matches are paid less than winners though the results are predetermined, which leads to devaluing in the eyes of the WWE fans which then makes them worth less to the company which means more losses and more reductions in pay. Argues that high drawing SS's have merchandise agreements so other penalties are over the top

Getting paid less for being a scripted loser is ******* absurd.

Still hope he doesn't come back though.

Shitty comedy angle coming right up!

Deserves an even cut - has helped devalue the title as much as anyone.

Couldn't care less if he was let go but would wish him well elsewhere.

Godspeed Baby Roidberg.

So is Reigns Heel?

Doing Hellish things and the Heel Commentators supporting him

No, he is not.

No, he is not.

So he is a Hack then

He is not a Face - So he is a Twinner?

He's supposed to be a face.

But the WWE are doing a really good job with this feud by making Roman do heel like things (and tagging with 2 faces) while having AJ do face things (tagged with 2 heels).

It's an interesting dynamic and makes it a bit more unpredictable than your standard heel vs face.

turi
Does make it UnPredictable and does leave it open for Reigns Full Heel but Sadly I doubt they will do that

If he was a Twinner he'd be the USO's.

He's a Tweener, but only on official propaganda.

Tweener/Twinner - You knew what I meant

I like how Reigns has been booked recently. Less talking, more being a bad ass.

The whole underdog thing they were trying with him was stupid. I mean look at him. Who is he going to be an underdog against? Lesnar and no one else.

His match against Styles was great and would've been really great had it not been for the 2 restarts.

Thought Rybacks comments were spot on, look past the hate for a wrestler, made a lot of sense, unfortunately he isn't a big enough name to force change, and those that are are the ones who win mostly and get more money.

It's ludicrous to think that if you lose you get paid less for doing the same job.

It's just the way it is.

If you get over with the crowd and they get buy your merch and cheer you, there is a chance you'll win more and make more money.

Yes but if you are booked to lose a lot then your unlikely to sell a lot of merchandise but as the loser you're still working just as hard as the winner.

Really more wrestlers need to stand up about it and force a change and they need some big names to do so as well.

At times like this I wish companies like TNA, ROH, Lucha Underground and NJPW had more money to splash around.

It would give the wrestlers more leverage to either get more money in WWE, get pushed, or get a better deal elsewhere.

 

[RossFC]

I really think guys like Ryback, Barrett, Ziggler etc would benefit from going elsewhere.

It worked for Del Rio at least.
