Cena does a better job at poking fun at smarks then Reigns. That Tumblr photo is nothing compared to troll of Cena’s promo the raw after WM29 and every time Cena performs in front of a hostile crowd.
That’s the problem. It’s not funny. The Rock making fun of fans as a member of The Nation was funny. Even John Cena responses can be amusing. This? Lame shit. Makes me think of a tumblr feminist with a mug saying “male tears”.
The last thing you want to associate your big, tough Samoan champion with is a tumblr feminist.
And it doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Everything Roman says in interviews is lame, too. At least John Cena comes across as a cool, awesome guy in shoot interviews. Even if he doesn’t convey that in promos. Reigns doesn’t have that much going for him.
Reigns is in a tough spot. He isn’t good enough to get over on his own and the dude who signs his check is making him the focus of the program/story lines. That pic is him acknowledging the absurdity of the situation. Unless of course he is proven to be an asshole. It doesn’t warrant everyone getting riled up.
In fairness to Cena, the guy’s had pretty much 10 years to adjust to, understand, and figure out the whole smark bit. He wasn’t used to it at first, but he is now. Conversely, Reigns has only had to deal with stuff like this for the past 2 years now.
Eh. False positives are always around in wrestling.
How many times has Hero been flagged for steroids and other drugs like it yet he’s straight edge? He just has a condition that produces almost 3 times the testosterone he should.
I think the same happened to ReyRey after one of his 80 knee surgeries.
If a lawsuit does happen though Adam will lose.
On the other side of the coin though; we all know how selective and bias the wwe wellness policy is.
I found it pretty funny. And you’re really gonna start complaining about “THOSE TUMBLR FEMINISTS” now? Cmon, son.
And comparing anybody else with Cena when it comes to working a crowd is silly. Cena’s one of the best in recent WWE history at working the crowd. Not a fair comparison.
wait…people are really pissin about smark tears pic? for real?? so when a wrestler shits on smarks on twitter or fb or shoots…thats ok. but you guess stop at instagram post of a cup? nigga wut???
Cena been doing it early in his main-event run. The way he worked the crowd at One Night Stand 2006 against RVD was a thing of beauty. He was still a fresh main-eventer then.
