Jim Ross Says The Roman Empire Line Is Pure Pandering And Won’t Work Unless…

The WWE audience is split on Roman Reigns with the boos drowning out the cheers in most cities. Despite the mixed reaction Roman continues to get, WWE remains deadset on pushing him as the next big face. Several wrestling personalities are calling for a Roman Reigns heel turn and one of those personalities is Jim Ross.

Ross has been saying for weeks that a heel turn is the way to with Roman Reigns and he reiterated his point in his latest blog. You can read the full entry here and see what he had to say below.

“Strong outing IMO between Reigns and Cesaro. The “Roman Empire” line is pure pandering and won’t work unless WWE is planning on Reigns joining the Authority eventually because the fans won’t cut Roman a break as in booing him out of the arena when the Roman Empire line is used. This isn’t Austin asking the fans to give him a “Hell, Yeah!”

However, an Authority-lead heel run by Reigns from Survivor Series to Summer Slam has merit.”
