Roman can talk......just stop giving him bullshit to say.

He's proven it with every interview, tv talk show and his leukemia promos.

Just let the man speak for himself.

Send him to Raw and Heyman can just him a mic. Scripted promos are what fails superstars. Not the other way around.

Scripted promos are fine.....just stop writing lame shit

That's like saying actors should just improv.

Again, movies and wrestling aren't the same thing. The best promo guys in the business just improved. Your points of when he's a good talker are all times he wasn't scripted.

he has natural charisma but wwe tried to force it with the promos they gave him over the years, when he's much better being his natural real self

Unless they want scripted promos. Jarrett had Russo write his whole promos and that's fine if that's how you want it.

Wrestling is live theater.....no ifs ands or buts about it.

They're literally calling themselves performers and they tell stories in a ring.......why can't people just admit that?

HELL IS NOT A MYTH
Wrestlers who can talk just need bullet points at the most. Letting them riff and improvise to crowd reactions tends to result in a better promo.

And for what it's worth, I've heard commentary on several of my favorite sitcoms saying that a lot of the funniest moments were improvised. So I guess it can apply to acting too.

Live theater where for literally the entire history of the business they just put together their own matches and winged their promos off bullet points. Full scripted promos weren't a thing for all wrestlers in WWE until they hired a team of ex Hollywood writers.
