Roman should just come out and Spear the fuck out of people. Stop trying to make him the talker that he isn't.

He should change his name to Razor Roman and have Razor Ramon be his manager and Fake Razor be his bodyguard/food taster. Instant overness.

He has the certain "it" factor to actually be something within the company, but they are just shoving him down our throats, which makes me automatically want to turn on him. Maybe if he had some great mic skills, ala Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, or a really solid in-ring presence, ala Daniel Bryan, I would buy into it. But the guy is just looks and nothing else. I would think that a huge fucking corporation would see how undeveloped this guy is right now and try to give him something that actually gives him more depth, but I really don't have much faith in them.

I think the Shield need to reunite soon. Maybe pretty quickly. He needs to be part of a group to hide his inability to connect. At the Rumble Ambrose and Reigns should come out at the end of the WWE Championship match. They need to lay waste to both Cena and Brock and have Rollins win the championship.
Shield becomes the Kings of the Mountain as Rollins double crosses the Authority. Rollins also would still have the Money in the Bank as a back-up if the Authority tries to screw with him. |

I caught his superman promo the other day on Raw, felt like he (or someone) was trying very hard to make him The Rock.

Reigns' moveset fits very well for the face in a tag team who gets the tag and cleans house, but I don't buy him as a credible singles fighter. His moveset just does not impress me at all. |

I think if anything the acting lessons have probably made his interviews worse because he does more of those forced facial expressions and mannerisms when he talks now, like how he scrunches up his face, it's just more for him to juggle.

Roman Reigns needs to get a gimmick where he is from ancient rome and calls himself a REAL Roman. He can start dressing like this,
![]() And riding a chariot to the ring. |

Roman Reigns is my least favorite member of The Shield. I always had my doubts about him as a singles entity. The entire dynamic he had as the "bad-ass third man" is now off the table since he's taken center-stage. He's still doing the same Shield stuff, and it just feels very "stuck."
He's actually been booked extraordinarily well, on paper, which is actually hurting him. It's weird -- I think the guy would actually benefit if they buried him a little bit, so more of the audience would feel sorry for him and develop a more organic drive behind him. This is going to sound like a comment full of "hate," which it is not meant to be -- but I actually haven't watched RAW in a few weeks because I can't stand the idea of him being forced down our throats. I will watch the Royal Rumble, because it's the Royal Rumble, but if Reigns wins and goes against Lesnar, I might just lose interest in the product outside of NXT. I believe the best thing for Reigns would be for him to end up in a "dream Triple Threat" against Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania this year. If fans aren't going to get into Reigns, they will at least be solidly behind Rollins. I'd even suggest that the best booking for that match would be to put Reigns over. He's the most obvious choice for a "strong" push, and going 3-0 at WrestleMania gives him a hook for subsequent years. Ambrose and Rollins, being smaller guys, don't really need that "invincible" air around them. Reigns can pin Rollins, leaving Ambrose in the dark, and sort of playing a "you need to prove you can actually pin me" role against Reigns heading into Extreme Rules (which I do wish they'd change back to Backlash or give a new name, so as to not be pigeon-holed into gimmick matches). Reigns vs. Ambrose could have Reigns pin Ambrose, proving that he is the absolute dominant force to come out of The Shield; or you can have Ambrose squeak out the victory, giving Reigns some "doubt" as a character. They can both find themselves in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which Ambrose can win, this time leaving Reigns in the dark (almost a reversal of their WrestleMania match). In the coming weeks, have Reigns turn on Ambrose, giving him some fresh life as a heel, and aligning himself with Paul Heyman -- who can then do the talking for Reigns. Maybe Reigns even puts Ambrose out, Reigns wins a big match at Battleground, and then Ambrose returns to raise hell against Reigns for a SummerSlam match between the two? Have Ambrose put the briefcase on the line because he is so certain he can beat Reigns. There's some added drama for the match. By the time the 2016 Royal Rumble comes along, Reigns might have developed enough personality as a "cool heel" to warrant a Rumble victory. Maybe by this point, Heyman has two horses in the race, and Reigns can turn on Heyman and his other client to go for the client's championship? Sort of a combination between The Rock's heel turn reigniting him before a massive face run, and Batista's "thumbs down" face turn. But maybe he's not ready, and that's cool too -- just have him beat someone else and go 4-0 at WrestleMania. |

Curtis is right on the money. Great idea. He can feud with the Jewish rasslers and have a finisher called the crucifixion

I think he's ok, but he still needs more time develop in my opinion. WWE pushed him way too fast. In my view, he's a poor man's Kevin Nash right now..........or a slightly better version of Test/Andrew Martin. Reigns can obviously still improve, but I think the WWE are kind of throwing him into the fire. If and when Roman Reigns falls on his face after he wins the title at Wrestlemania, will he be able to bounce back from what I imagine to be very lukewarm crowd reactions? Cesaro should have been the guy that the WWE had pushed, post Wrestlemania last year. |

Philly is a smark crowd. Brock/Reigns could be pretty good. I don't see Daniel Bryan doing it right now. He looks like he's lost a lot of weight and muscle mass. He's been through alot with the injury and really needed more time to recuperate.
I don't think WWE did Reigns any favors in bringing Daniel Bryan back in right now. He has trouble beating Jobbers to the Stars like Kane. Not only is he not ready to go he is now being forced by the fans to try to go at a high level. Now he's going to be in a match with another guy like twice his size and one who is also kinda stiff. The crowd might have handled Reigns winning the Rumble and being the guy if Daniel Bryan was still at home. |

I'd rather they used the time allocated for the match and allow Paul Heyman to speak. Heck Heyman reading the instruction manual for an oven to the audience would be more entertaining.

I don't even hate Reigns.... I just don't care. If Reigns wins (and Cena wins) then I am going to take a hiatus from watching Raw. (Except the one right after Mania)

The elevation of Roman Reigns actually squashed my interest in the main product. Seriously. The guy's not even bad -- he's just not great enough for his spot yet. The more I think about it, the more I think a double-turn with Heyman screwing Brock and helping Reigns is #BestforBusiness. I was thinking that the clean win for Reigns and the "Fuck it, we're all in" thing was the way to go, but I think they're shooting themselves in the dick at this point.

A double turn almost has to happen. Rogue Lesnar ripping through everyone for sweet revenge would be amazing. Hell, you don't even need Heyman to turn. Have the Authority, scared their company's title may be taken elsewhere, throw the kitchen sink at Lesnar, backing Reigns, and screwing Lesnar out of the title while anointing Reigns as the man
You could keep Rollins heel and slow burn an eventual turn for one of the two as the authority re implodes later down the line. They have to try something different. Reigns isn't working. Having Heyman cut the best promos of his life are certainly not helping his cause either. Aligning him with the Authority at least gives him HHH as a semi mouth piece and partners him with a veteran who can help develop his character further. |

That has to do with Lesnar and ridiculously limited appearance contract.
They have shown the ability to put on a compelling event on the big stage. I have they faith they could do a legitimate entertaining double turn. It's more of whether I think they will do it. |

the roman empire gave way to the medieval period
maybe this means kevin owens will have a game of thrones gimmick and will become wwe champion and his catch phrase will be the dark ages or something similiar, something appropriate to the nature of medieval times |
