am I misunderstanding something? I thought reign of terror means a long main event run that shouldn't have been like Triple H in 2008 on Smackdown where he kept reminding Jeff Hardy that he's a worthless piece of shit by not letting him go over. Or Triple H's evolution run where he beat the momentum out of people like Booker T, Scott Steiner or, most famously, Goldberg.
WWE sometimes made bad calls with Cena but they were just calls not reigns.
