The Roman Reigns Discussion Thread

This is a thread to discuss Roman Reigns, magic beans, sufferin succotashs, tatter tots, and what not.

Roman got suspended because of the wellness policy. Thoughts?

I don't watch WWE, but I've gone out of my way to watch some of his promos. He can be pretty hilarious.

Terrible mic skills. He should just be mute.

Believe that.

Reigns couldn't cut a good promo to save his life, and his move-set is ludicrously limited.

He sucks ass, tbh.

His mic skills are bad, his character is dull and the fact that he is shoved down the audience's throat is infuriating. However, I don't think he's THAT bad a wrestler (admittedly he is limited) and while I do understand why he has been so heartily rejected by the fans, I also feel a little bad for him. It's mainly WWE's fault, yet poor Roman has to take the brunt of the blame.

He is a disgrace to the Polynesian peoples. Boo Reigns. Push Samoa Joe instead. Even though he is not dead, Rikishi is rolling in his grave, well, not his grave, someone else's grave. Possibly Katie Vicks.

They should stick to his strengths,which is screaming and tackling, that would get him over. Not every main hero character has to be a wise cracking boy scout with the heart of gold. I think a silent intense power house character work, even in eww icky ick pg, where is my beer and boobs ?

If that fails, slap an HBK shirt on him, give him some obscure song and having him talk about RoH, cause "smart" fans are easy to pander to.

Seth Rollins > Dean Ambrose > Roman Reigns

Dean will win at battleground tho, obviously. WWE is very predictable these days

@khael: but I want Seth to win :(

@akshsarpanch: Everyone does

John Cena 2.0?

Never gonna be the Cena 2.0 WWE wants him to be, they will get this some time (hopefully) soon.

On the other hand Seth Rollins may well become a top star on HBK's level if handed well.

@madripoor: I think Seth is more similar to Chris Jericho

The wellness policy is weird....how come ryback hasn't gotten busted for roids yet ? There is absolutely no way he's natty.

Roman Reigns is garbage. Lets discuss someone with actual mic skills and wrestling skills...Sasha Banks ?

The Romans had great tactics in war but i guess they couldn't handle all their territory. Wait, you're not talking about the roman empire?

Roman Reigns needs to ditch the Shield clothes and music. He also needs to expand his move set and work on his promos. Then he can connect with the crowd. Also, turn him heel.

These responses...they hurt.

@god_spawn: is either a child or a mom confirmed jk ?

Or at least have a good mouth piece by his side.

:)

I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a good guy. I'M THEEEE GUY.

*spits red mist in your eyes*

@laflux: *ignores*

Guys, GUYS!!!....This thread isn't making Roman look strong.

Yo gotta make him look real strong.

He resembles Lobo kinda.

@tifalockhart: Put some black and white makeup on him then there you have it. His acting sucks though.

He's my favorite wrestler.

Reigns is better as a silent bad ass henchman, not how he is booked now.

Get him a mouthpiece, or turn him heel and be done with it.

Charlotte has better mic skills than him. That is saying something.

Terrible wrestler and WWE sucks so hard right now it isn't even funny.

Paul Heyman would be good. He's over with the guys that hate Roman the most, and takes away how limited he is on the mic.

Honestly speaking I prefer him over Dean. I prefer how he looks, and I like his moveset more. I can't deny Ambrose' talent as a speaker though. His problem is his booking. Horribly strong, with little build up and feuds and promo's that highlight his weak points. WWE need to understand that someone's popularity can be independent of the Wins/Losses they take. John Cena hasn't taken a hit since he's started taking clean losses to guy he wouldn't dream about. In fact he's more respected now by sections of crowd that usually boo him

Roman Reigns largely dominated Randy in their feud.

Seth got a lucky roll up in a back and forth match and only beat Randy while he was champ with interference and cheap gimmicks like no RKO.

I don't think Dean has beaten Randy clean

.....

Seth got pinned by Brock in the triple threat and was scared to fight him when he got the belt

Dean lost to Brock

Roman nearly beat him and didn't get pinned...

....

Roman has been 2,1 and 3 in his last 3 royal rumble matches.

WWE has been very obvious about their intentions. They need to step back and reassess, now that have got the chance now. But will they? Judging by Roman's supposed redemption angle, it seems unlikely.

So hes mid card now im guessing?

@cgoodness: He should've been rebuilt like that when he first came back to be honest. If he wasn't shoved down everyone's throat at first maybe people wouldn't had booed him.

What happened to Reigns as of late? He's been losing cleanly.

Terrible wrestler and even worse on the mic. He's one of the reasons I don't watch that often anymore ( other than to check on all the ROH alumni). He's needs a mouthpiece badly at least Cena can actually wrestle before they gave him the Hogan treatment and rammed him down the audiences throats.

Roman needs a new theme song more bad ass. He needs to talk much less and let his skills do the talking. Maybe the Wyatt's need a new member meaning don't we need a new ministry of darkness?? Can't Roman and the Wyatt's fill that role? With taker and Kane being more manager style with occasionally actually wrestling???

It is 2017 how does everyone feel about da big dawg, bbygurl. >:|

Yae his Mic skills are shit. But good pop when he comes out.
