Roman Reigns is hardly the first victim of grumpy fans. We're talking three decades ago.

Our theoretical general manager of one of the brands ("Raw" or Smackdown") has a few big goals for this project, which is set to debut Monday on "Raw."
The Raw after 'Mania is usually one of the more eventful shows of the year. Here's what happened on Monday night.
The biggest wrestling show of the year certainly produced some great moments, but it also produced some really, really weird stuff.
This brand is really struggling to find a new identity after having all the top talent stripped away, and introducing shiny new belts isn't going to help on its own.
For those tired of part-timers at Wrestlemania and "storylines" consisting of one person losing to a rollup thanks to someone else's music playing, Lucha Underground is a refreshing change of pace.
This was more like a pothole-filled back alley than a fast lane.
This Sunday, we get the last show before Wrestlemania, as hopefully enough pieces fall into place so that we actually know the main event of the biggest show of the year.
WWE returned to Saskatoon for the first time since 2011 and it was a lot of fun, but there wasn't a lot of star power.
Much like a drum solo, Bray Wyatt as WWE Champion was going to happen, and there was nothing we could do about it.
SmackDown has been on a solid TV show every week, but their brand-exclusive PPV shows have been less so. Can this one deliver?
It was certainly a noteworthy weekend in San Antonio, with multiple title changes and John Cena tying a big record, but which show won the battle? The answer may surprise you.

Although they weren't able to cut loose like everyone thought they could, it was another strong night of WWE action in the UK featuring some different talent than you usually see on the Network.
Once again the UK fans steal the show with their craziness, but this was a solid debut for the WWE's UK tournament and a fun show overall.
Snuka had been arraigned on charges of murder in 2014, kicking off a trial that was a complete circus.
The John Cena Comeback Tour (late 2016 edition) kicked off on the last "SmackDown" of the year.
Although the world didn't need another WWE title (albeit a really sharp-looking one), more content for the Network is always appreciated. And tournaments are awesome.
The New Day retained the tag team titles through a pair of three-way matches that bookended Monday night's edition of "Raw."
A good, but ultimately forgettable, effort from the Smackdown brand.
With the death of "WWE Superstars" as the C-show, this should be an entertaining replacement. How was the first try? Let's take a look.
Who's next? Brock again, apparently.
Boys will be boys, I guess.
This should be the final blowoff match in the blood feud between Hogan and Gawker, brother.
Just when you thought the TNA situation couldn't get any more confusing...
WWE announced Monday morning that women's star Paige has been suspended for 60 days after a second violation of its wellness policy. She was just finishing up a first suspension and had yet to officially return to the roster.
I guess that John Cena and Nikki Bella must have had an early flight out of Sacramento or something.
I've been saying for a while that $9.99 was too little for what we get.
As if Smackdown's roster couldn't get any thinner . . .

This was an OK show from the secondary brand.

Not a really newsworthy show this week, but much like pizza, even bad NXT is pretty good.

With another contender for "Greatest Women's Match in WWE History" tonight, plus the long-awaited WWE debut of Samoa Joe, this was another strong NXT live special that put the efforts of the main roster to shame. But you knew that.
NXT is a consistently great show, so the time is right to start taking a weekly look at it. This week's wasn't the best episode to start the review.
Some decent action and nothing bad, but not really a show you'd want to go out of your way to watch. How's that for an enticing teaser?
