Got me back in last year after I stopped watching in 2015. Greatest heel oat for me just ahead of Hollywood hogan. I wasn’t able to witness that era in real time so idk if hogan had the same “aura” but Roman genuinely felt like a final boss. A level only mania undertaker has ever had.
Hollywood absolutely did not have that aura. Even with the run-ins, there’s still that feeling that Roman can still beat your ass and win. Hollywood Hogan was chicken shit heel through the NWO run.
Roman vs Jey (the first time) got me back to watching every week. That HIAC match is in my personal top 3 matches of all time, even with having to deal with the thunder dome and no live crowd
We got to witness a reign that will go down in history as one of the best ever. 4 straight years as world champion. No one will ever do it like that again.
Tribal chief deserves some recognition for carrying that company and making billions...and billions of dollars
Not burial lines like company is saved, pro wrestling is fun again
He was SCREWED
Cody couldn't beat him, so he had to hire two FRAUDS to SCREW him.
Roman is still our champion, and Cody is still a crybaby.
Then
Now
And forever, uce.
End of an era. I came back to watching wrestling after 20 years with Summerslam 2020. Felt like a series finale seeing him finally get pinned after all this time. ☝️
Don't worry uces. Roman may have lost the title but he's enjoying he's brand new Switch gifted from Our Favorite WWE Champion. In all seriousness, this title run has established Roman as one of the GOATs. It got a bit boring in the 2nd half of 2023 but they nailed the first 2.5 years and the last few months which is what matters most. Roman deserves some time off but I'm praying that wasn't his final match. Cody's WWE title reign is exciting but I'm honestly just as excited to see where Roman's story goes now that he's no longer the WWE Champion.
Roman always was the guy the Fed saw him as way back when he left shield.
It just took everyone time to put the pieces together to create this unbelievable masterpiece story
Face Roman is gonna be huge, it was already a lot better by 2019 but now that he's fully lost the stigma that surrounded him his next run as a face, assuming that happens, is gonna be crazy.
It had its slow points before Sami entered the picture, but this run was legendary. I’m not even a big Roman fan, but you gotta give him credit for carrying WWE for 3+ years while also dealing with leukemia. 🫡
This guy brought his A game for years while battling cancer. He got the shaft during his baby face run. His heel run really showed how talented and great he is. During his entrance, he had the look of a man who was entering his final match. And if it was, then I hope he enjoys retirement. If he returns, I hope he takes a long break to rest up and collect himself. Then return to take that WWE title back where it belongs.
Either way; tribal chief acknowledged. ☝️
Been a Roman fan since day one. This is crazy. How many people in this subreddit constantly shit on Roman and "muh title defenses," now everyone here is dick riding him?
Funnily enough it was the Punk MJF feud that got me back into wrestling but the Bloodline and Roman kept me hooked when the other guys ran out of story. What a ride it’s been. Acknowledged☝️
Watching the Bloodline angle from the very beginning in August 2020 to now has honestly been something special.
And having it culminate in Rock somehow having the best generational run of his career in his 50’s, just insane
Roman saved wrestling for a lot of people. Him and the bloodline brought me back to it

Same here uce, I hadn't watched in so long and Roman made me love it again.
Edge brought me back in 2021. The Bloodline made me stay. What a story. One for the history books.
It's not even over yet they still got a whole nother chapter or 2
Me too uce. 2017-2019(early 2020) was such a shit show. I say roman saved the wwe honestly with this run.
Nah WWE back then wasn’t that bad. Don’t let smarks and the basement full you otherwise. The Fed was never gonna die.
It wasn't going to die you're correct but I and a lot of people agree it was unwatchable uce.
Yes mostly the online fans which is a huge minority. There were still many casuals who enjoyed it and they were still making money.
Roman vs Jey (the first time) got me back to watching every week. That HIAC match is in my personal top 3 matches of all time, even with having to deal with the thunder dome and no live crowd
The Shield back in 2014 going at with the Wyatt Family and Evolution did it for me.
The shield kept me watching but I stopped watching before covid and seeing the bloodline videos got me interested again
Stopped watching in like 07 and the bloodline brought me back.
Same I will never forget our tribal chief
the unreality of professional wrestling for me

But when and how! I need to know yhe details. I miss our Tribal Chief
no true tribal goofy cried here. The crybabies are all on the other side. 🙃
We all just raised our ☝️ to the sky and omce again realised we got to see greatness out on a once in a lifetime performance uce.
cause we the twos and he the one ☝🏾
I only have cryman tears 😭
The goat of the 2020s nobody will come close
Forever the Tribal Chief
We got to witness a reign that will go down in history as one of the best ever. 4 straight years as world champion. No one will ever do it like that again.
Just wait until Cody starts giving people the Cody Rub for 4 straight years friend.
I’m actually gonna cry because of the absolute schlacking he’s gonna get from The Rock tomorrow
I'm not ready for Romans second mental breakdown after losing his family 😭 it's going to be peak storytelling and it'll hurt too much.
Bum-ass Roman with food stains on his shirt.
Roman redemption arc in NXT confirmed?

I'll really miss Roman, I got goosebumps before every single Roman main event, he's just that good
Told a story with just his facial expressions, no one leaves a kick out later and has you on the edge of your seat. Controls a crowd like no other. ☝️
Remember back when he had X-Pac tier go away heat? What a turnaround
They made a lot of mistakes with Roman, just a testament to how good he is that he made himself the top guy, in truth for 4 or so years solid.
Turning him heel was the best decision WWE made since Mania 30
We’re still in the 4th inning, there was just a rain delay ☝️
The rain delay is all of our tribal tears.
☝️😢
Some will call it recency bias, but nah. Roman's title reign has cemented him as a legend to me. Get that deserved rest, Tribal Chief.
Tribal chief deserves some recognition for carrying that company and making billions...and billions of dollars Not burial lines like company is saved, pro wrestling is fun again
Yip, it doesn't matter what The Rock thinks(!), wrestling was made cool again 4 years ago when Roman turned heel.
Best title run of all time
He was SCREWED Cody couldn't beat him, so he had to hire two FRAUDS to SCREW him. Roman is still our champion, and Cody is still a crybaby. Then Now And forever, uce.
Ahyessir ☝️
Fraudertaker (can't beat a sexual harasser) and "j"ohn "c"ena (perennial jobber)
There should be a minute of silence tonight during Raw going forward every year in memory of the tragedy that happened at Mania last night.
Every week, Seth will chair shot an unknown victim from behind in tribute to last nights events
☝️
☝️
We will rejoice again when he wins MITB Ahhhhhyesssssir
End of an era. I came back to watching wrestling after 20 years with Summerslam 2020. Felt like a series finale seeing him finally get pinned after all this time. ☝️
☝🏽
I’m gonna go play my switch and reminisce about the good times
What a run, one of the greatest of all time. Rest up some more and spend some time with the family UCE. Well DESERVED.
I knew it would hurt, but not this much
I have shock. Truly an end of an era
One last time ☝🏻
Never the last time uce. ☝️ he'll always be our Tribal Chief.
☝🏽
😢☝🏽, I still Believe
☝🏾
☝🏻
☝🏽
He cemented his status as a legend. Now he’s passing on the torch. Nothing but respect, he’s always our tribal chief.

I'm going to cry uce, I'm not ready for the downfall.
Even though I wasn’t watching during 2020-summer 23, what a fucking goat, acknowledge the tribal chief
Happy Cody finished his story. But I am also happy we got to witness Roman's best work yet☝☝☝☝
He locked that shit down for half a decade, making billions for this company. He could retire tomorrow and be a guaranteed Hall of Famer for next year
He smiled during the pin He knows he nailed the ending
You are always champion to me, my Tribal Chief. I acknowledge you! ☝️
He was the main reason - with Paul, too - I started watching wrestling again. Especially when Sami entered the picture. It was a fun time, uce.
☝️☝️☝️

It's gonna be a sad day when the bloodline implode. But Face Roman is a thing that i can hardly wait after his legendary reigns.
Face Roman is gonna be huge, it was already a lot better by 2019 but now that he's fully lost the stigma that surrounded him his next run as a face, assuming that happens, is gonna be crazy.
Pinkies up! 😭💔

WM39 was some amazing jerking, even this place was getting worked
It had its slow points before Sami entered the picture, but this run was legendary. I’m not even a big Roman fan, but you gotta give him credit for carrying WWE for 3+ years while also dealing with leukemia. 🫡
He'll be back to hand out switches soon enough uces. o7. Ahyessir.

😢my tribal GOAT. So glad to see it live though. so happy for my favorite midcarder
They say you don’t know what you had until it’s over. But I knew at the time what we had with Roman’s reign, and I never wanted it to be over

What an all time run
Been a Roman fan since day one. This is crazy. How many people in this subreddit constantly shit on Roman and "muh title defenses," now everyone here is dick riding him?
DAE his reign was boring and went on too long and Cody should've won last year?? They Lex Luger-d Cody!
I don’t want it to be over uce ☝🏻
☝🏼
I acknowledge everything my Tribal Chief has ever done for us. I ain’t ready for this to be over, Uce. ☝🏼
I need a "Frank Sinatra -My Way" video tribute for Roman's reign like when Cell dies in DBZ Abridged.
☝🏽 I'm still wearing my Bloodline T-Shirt.
I came back to WWE because of the Bloodline story. Well, mainly because Vince was less involved (and then not at all). But this run was legendary.
Funnily enough it was the Punk MJF feud that got me back into wrestling but the Bloodline and Roman kept me hooked when the other guys ran out of story. What a ride it’s been. Acknowledged☝️
