I honestly feel bad for the guy because it isn't his fault. I thought Cena heat was the worst you can do, but this guy has set a new record of heat that I think will never be matched by another face. Dude needs a heel turn. They had their chance a few times to get the crowd on his side and they dropped the ball. He needs a heel turn to reestablish himself. That's his only hope to get on the crowds side now.

I don't remember a specific moment triggering the original "Xpac heat," but people eventually started booing him not because of his heel tactics, but because he was obnoxious and unentertaining after a while. Same reason people booed John Laurinaitis and The Authority. Just booing bad TV.

Except Sex Ferguson doesn't get **** on like Reigns does. Maybe because the big LG is actually solid for a big man and not shoved down our throats. Not sure.

I don't think the crowd will ever be on his side. Turning him heel would just make the boos seem more appropriate.

I disagree. If he can get past this suspension thing, the way things have turned out couldn't be any better. In a strange way he's rebelling against the crowd. What makes Cena's character so strong was that he wasn't going to stop being a good guy no matter what. Reigns is similar but unlike Cena, he subtlety rubs his success in people's face. He's still a face, but he is feeding off the boos. They need to play that up more.

Behind Lesnar, Taker, and Cena, he's already probably the biggest active star in the company already. Even people who don't watch wrestling know who he is.

If Reigns embraces the boo's and plays into it then he'll be fine. His stretch after wrestlemania already turned a few people.

Back to Brock.

He was notified today that he has a second failed test, this one from day of UFC 200 fight.
