He's alright imo, last "new" star I gave a fukk about was Daniel Bryan and he's long done.


When it comes to Reigns I feel some of criticism is warranted, but I do feel a large portion of "haters" are bandwagoning others cause it's the current in thing.

There’s nothing interesting about him and he’s pushed so heavily despite there being nothing to him. The crowd doesn’t want a guy presented as the top face while being a cardboard cutout. That’s the same problem Cena had. As soon as they sent him to raw, they stripped away everything that got him over in the first place and pushed him in a manner that is insulting to the crowd, always stacking the odds against him and so heavy handedly demanding the crowd to love the guy while basically saying anyone who boos him is just a jackass who wants to derail the show and make it about himself. That sort of shyt insults us as paying customers. At no point in the last 25 years has this type of push worked for any wrestler in any promotion. If they’re so bent on pushing him, actually give him depth and make him interesting.

If Roman was white, 5’7, wrestled in Japan & the indies, wore kick pad boots n did suicide dives n flips he’d be cheered.
He'd still be cheered as he was, look at Stroman. Point is, when Management gave Hulk Boots to Reigns, it basically killed any chance of making him beloved. Because Management said 'fukk You' to the more vocal fans when Bryan was more over, pushed Reigns, and left Bryan in the IC spot.

It was the correct thing to do, but it was also the worst thing they could do. 'Boo Roman' is now the thing to do, because everyone sees the product as downhill.

I just don't like Roman's moveset. Other than that, :yeshrug:I have no issues with him. How they booked him in the EC was silly though. But yeah, a spear and a punch should not be finishers in 2018. The spear should barely be a move since most people don't even get that good velocity on it to make it look right.

I used to hate on Reigns but he’s improved significantly. Gonna ride with Coach on this one.
