"Not-Over-Gate" spilled over to SI.com, where Justin Barrasso reported that Vince McMahon felt Balor was bland without his Demon character, a concern I touched upon months ago. Always a master of social media manipulation, Balor has pounced on the perception that "the man" is keeping him down. Pretending to know more about wrestling than Vince McMahon is a time-honored tradition among the Internet Wrestling Community. Nothing makes someone less popular than backstage reports that WWE officials are high on them. If WWE wanted to avoid its current uphill battle in making Roman Reigns a universal babyface, it should have just leaked "reports" that Vince McMahon felt Dean Ambrose was the next big thing.
