We've talked ad nauseum about Reigns' promos, most agree it isn't his fault he is getting the "ADR, WWE is too interested in my and fucking up my swag" treatment.

As for the matches, that is your opinion. I enjoy Reigns singles matches. I recall a match w/ Punk on Raw that was dank as shit, and that was his first big singles match. His FCW work is all good. The "reigns can't wrestle" myth is just that, a myth.
They are fine, just very vanilla. What does he do better than Zig, Cesaro, Bray, DB, Rollins, Ambrose? It's not about grabbing the brass ring. The ring was tailored, and fit to Reigns. It's all good, just book him right at Mania. He's got to beat Lesnar, and align with Heyman by either Heyman screwing Brock or Rollins. Can you imagine if Rollins cashed in and beat Reigns? You end Reigns. Reigns is lookin like the miz hot run. Let reigns win as a heel. Turn Rollins face. Fuckin got me hooked.

I love how my comments about Ziggler were ignored and everyone is talking about Bryan, Reigns, Rollins, and Ambrose.. none of whom deserve championship pushes at this very moment.

I'll shut up and leave the discussion now lol
I took that talk to my thread haha

Reigns is your top heel if this is done right. I am going to back this decision if that's the outcome
Get ready to boo along with the smark Mania crowd bro. Vince wants Reigns as the face of the company, not top heel.

His bad. It's whatever. The Rollins cheers are going to be epic if he cashes in. I'll cheer for him as champ rather than boo a guy that got destroyed by vinces ideas

Double turn could solve that I bet
WWE can't book their shows trying to pander to smarks. It won't work, because once you give smarks what they want they will change their fickle little tunes. If you turn Reigns, suddenly they cheer for him. Fuck em lol. Super Reigns to be boo'd out of the building. book it.

Reigns is walking out of Mania as champ. I would bet on it.

I think you make a concerted effort to not care about Roman, as did the Philly crowd and all the smarks who are against him. You are all mad that WWE is making it obvious who the hand picked golden boy is so you are resenting it.
I've watched the guy since FCW. I have no problems with Roman the guy in general. It's how he is being jet rocketed to the top. I as a wrestling fan want that organic growth. The best thing in my mind is a guy going from tag team, to mid card to main event. I like that journey.

Roman is a fine enough worker, that has never been an issue. His talking could be better, but it could be much worse as well.
But I personally ain't feeling the current booking or direction of the guy or how he has been handled post shield. Despite his accomplishments I don't feel like he has grown as a character that much since the Shield ended.

That he'll be a top guy I have never doubted, but I just ain't sure what's in store will work. If he proves me wrong I'll gladly eat the crow.

Logically speaking that may make some sense but, business wise, it defeats the purpose of creating the Roman Reigns character in the first place.
Why build Reigns up to turn him heel in such short order? It isn't as if Brock Lesnar will take that mantle.
Ambrose is in the back seat and HHH is carefully guiding Rollins career.

I've jokingly said to turn Reigns heel at WM, but that is what I'd like. For all we know, Reigns could draw huge money and we'd never know because he turned heel at WM 31.

You are essentially agreeing with what I said then, no? If, in your eyes, Reigns weren't being "overpushed" you'd be thrilled to root for the guy. But because of booking, you turn on him.

You can thank the Philly crowd for that. Shame, 'cause he didn't deserve to get booed out of the building.
