I agree with those saying Reigns should adopt the powerbomb as a finisher. In fact, since Reigns is a powerhouse type of wrestler and Goldberg is the supreme archetype of a powerhouse wrestler, Reigns should pattern the set-up for his finishing maneuver the same way Goldberg did - hitting them with one hard-hitting signature move first (the Spear in both men's case) and then finish them off with another signature maneuver next. For Goldberg, that was the Jackhammer. For Reigns, it could be the powerbomb.

I agree. 'Spear' is kinda generic nowadays especially when used by the big guys like Reigns is.

Spear followed by a Powerbomb would be cool, most definitely. Doubtful if this'll ever happen.

The other way around, buddy. Reigns is one of the few who does the force and impact worthy of the move.
Ex-football stars know how to execute that move with the recklessness abandon in which the move was designed.
The jackknife powerbomb is a slightly different variation I would enjoy seeing being used again.

Reigns ditching the Spear would be tragic since its gotten him so over. Powerbomb got him over, but only by association with two other people.

I was implying more like 'big guys usually use Spear'. I'm not saying he should ditch Spear, he should keep it. He definitely does it well, unlike Batista, for instance.

I'm just saying Spear + Powerbomb = Badass
