Reigns cut an in-character, squeaky clean babyface promo with Coach on ESPN after the show talking about how much he respects The Undertaker.

I read this, and for some reason immediately thought of Cornette's thoughts on Vince's "time honored tradition" promo. Maybe they'll come to the same conclusion and finally embrace him coming off like a hand-picked asshole and let him *be* a freakin' heel. He will become a babyface over time if they just let the character grow.

It worked for just about EVERY top superstar post-Hogan, except Warrior. And the problem persists an various ways within the company not only with Roman, but he is absolutely the most noticeable.

People want to take the ride with a character. He can be a shithead, and redeem himself later, and then go on to film movies, and sell shirts, and autograph babies and all that shit. But the company seems intent on skipping over the ride and having him at the destination as fast as possible since day one. From shoving the camera up his nose during Shield entrances and the booth spending most of the time putting HIM over during their matches, to feeding him "stars" that they barely built in the first place, to continuing his fast track even after being on the shelf while people didn't give a collective crap that he was gone. That's all stuff that isn't really Roman's fault.

Essentially, if they had just turned him heel in the first place instead of resisting, they would have prob'ly been able to prepare to start (if not already) reaping the benefits of a face turn by now, and Roman as a character would have been richer for it, and if they did it right, the fans would have been READY for a face turn.
