10 Bad Habits WWE MUST Kick

10. Crumbling Empire

Picking apart the latest Roman Reigns catastrophe seems almost unfair to a 'Big Dog' never more reduced in stature than he is right now.

A man once forced to weep amidst the streamers that had just seconds earlier been for him. A man twice robbed of his WrestleMania anointment against Brock Lesnar. A man thrice defeated in pay-per-view matches in 2018 alone despite still allegedly being the priority project of WWE for most of the last decade. It just doesn't hang together anymore, and more closely resembles Vince McMahon's infamous souring on Lex Luger than any other main event run in company history. Only longer.

Luger barely worked a day as he shot across America on a comical bus tour before snaring a laboured count-out victory over Yokozuna in the first of only two WWE singles main events he'd pinch during his troubled tenure. By contrast Roman is all over the f*cking product and is now detestable enough for the audience to hit the road themselves to beat the traffic rather than stick around to watch his matches.

Never has a top talent needed an injury more. There was a time when such reactions would lead to a reaction from the company to try and protect their investment. Currently? Just more more more as fans continue to snore.
