Yeah, but unlike the Rock, Roman will quickly need to get a hook on his phonics.

You can't be speaking ether in the mic, if you have the charisma of a potato.
He shouldn't be speaking at all if he turns heel. This is one of those situations where his character actually has to regress (how he was in the beginning days of The Shield) for it to work. His ring work has already improved by MILES. Combine those two and it's over

I agree I don't hate Roman, I like him, but he should just look intimidating; no talking, just smirks.

That would be retarded. Granted, his speaking is worse than just being quiet. His problem is he has no real look of being motivated. There's just a lot wrong, besides his wrestling. As stated before, he either seems like he's trolling you, actually bored but collecting bank, or very nervous. Could be all three, but it stands out more with him than nearly any superstar I've seen in the E.

:blessed::salute:

That's the heel turn we need. fukk WWE. They must drug their faces or something...nah, he was the mute of the Shield too. This is the Reigns that can evolve into the face that runs the place or the new HHH.

Look at Jake Roberts. His entire gimmick was being cold and calculating. Never raised his voice in a promo. It's obvious that works for Roman so let him be that guy.

Basically...all Reigns has to do is be the Rock, with his own voice and none of Rock's catchphrases or crazy arm movements. His voice is toughguy distinctive. Let him be a bully with it. He should start as a heel as a person who gives you a lot of shyt and doesn't really fukk with too many people.

May fukk with the Authority, but fukk them over when he feels like it. Never be trusted, except when he is.

How do you guys suggest Rome improve his promo skills if he never speaks? You don't become proficient at a weakness by running away from it.
The silent thing works but it has a ceiling. Sting was able to pull it off for a year because the NWO angle was one of the best written and hottest storylines if all time.
Goldberg was able to sustain his momentum for a time because he was a physical specimen and one of the most intense performers in the history of the business.
Reigns won't be always be able to get away with just showing up, scowling, and kicking ass.
It'll work momentarily, but you're not becoming the man of anything if you can't cut a promo.
He absolutely needs to talk if he wants to improve on it. If he's just going to be a main event guy, then fine.
He can simply be a man of few words. But they want this man to be the man.
He has to become adept on the microphone, or they have to move in amother direction. It isn't negotiable if you're going to be the top guy for a substantial period of time.
