Roman Reigns A True Scumbag Lmfao

[FS4LFE]

He’s not the same performer. Better character, talker and is naturally getting over. Of course he’s getting his flowers now. Outside of Big E and Bobby Lashley, he’s the best thing going in WWE right now.

he's definitely proving that he was the star of the shield and all that "make roman look strong" shyt was completely justified... punk really had marks mad that they replaced kassius ohno with him

Ikr. People hated Rocky Maivia & The Ringmaster but for some reason, called themselves cheering for The Rock & Stone Cold. It's even more mind blowing because its not like fans were asking for Reigns to be paired with Heyman as a heel as early as 2015. (Reigns coincidentally, oddly enough, asked to go heel years ago.)


Wrestlers not only growing as performers, but also being slotted and booked in roles & with characters that come off as natural. Booking actually.... booking talent to their strengths. What a novel, insane concept. Still can't wrap my head around it.

There is so much disingenuous thought behind this post it's ridiculous. Rocky Maivia & Ringmaster were completely different from The Rock & Stone Cold. If we're being honest a lot of people wanted Reigns to be a badass face if he wasn't going to turn heel.

Not buying that “we hated his babyface run” shyt


Y’all hated him because he was the top dog and y’all wanted another nikka at the top and took it out on him


He was never bad, always had solid matches and was booked as a dominant babyface. people were into him and only turned because they wanted Daniel Bryan in his position and it stuck..


Y’all saw dudes entire existence as the reason these Kevin Owens, Ricochet 5’9” flop ass nikkas couldn’t get ahead. He represented everything wrong with WWE.. now he’s on fire so y’all hopped on the wave

Stop it. It was both and you know it. Bryan at that point never got the top face run he deserved and he was over from day one on NXT. Reigns who was the "other guy" in the Shield, was being primed for it following the Cena formula and fans hated it. He also just wasnt good at using what was given to him. People have wanted THIS Roman Reigns for the longest and there are hundreds if posts backing this up here and thousands elsewhere

To be fair, WWE should have turned him heel years ago, but they kept thinking they could make him the next big babyface overnight. You can tell he wasn't comfortable with that.

You had a whole arena wishing death on him the night after WrestleMania 33, he brags about retiring The Undertaker, and you keep him face? What sense does that make?

Imagine this Roman Reigns in that feud wit Taker Tribal Chief would have been wildin talking big shyt.

He did handle the situation pretty well originally tho

I was always a fan, never understood the hate

Always a great worker despite having two disastrous WM main events in a row.

Best heel in wrestling

TBH he had a free setup to be a babyface once he left/came back from leukemia and somehow the E still botched that.

People's opinions on a character change when they try something different. What a strange and interesting concept.

Wrestlers pause too much in promos. I think they think it's creating mystique, seriousness, and menace? But it honestly sounds contrived and fake. When roman speeds up his speech here you feel it alot more and he gets into it himself, but then slips back into it.

Watch flair, austin, and rock. They talked fast normally and when they did slow it down you knew it was serious for real. They played with tension real good.

Nah, Rich Swann does it alot too. It's okay to pause to think of what to say next, but when you're doing it every word on purpose it makes it seem fake af and shytty acting.

Here is what I dont get that nobody in this thread has said, because yall love wrestling more the I do......... Get over as a heel, is a pre-requisite to get over as a face.......... Think about it, who in the E has been straight face throughout and gotten over as a top guy????????


You would truly have to go back to Bret Hart (who was a heel, but I wouldnt say he got over as a heel.. Got over as a face though)......... Hogan maybe before that.........


Austin, Rock, Angle, Lesner, Cena, Punk, Foley, Michaels, Triple H, Edge, Orton,..... All of those guys got over as heels where it was undeniable and fans wanted them so bad to turn face, and then they go face and become legends....... The only guys super over, who got over as faces I can think of is Daniel Bryan, RVD, Kofi, and Jeff Hardy in WWE, and the only reason there was the small man/underdog storyline that connects..


I dont know, what do yall think, you have to be a major heel before getting over as a face???

why did it took him 8 years to get rid of that hideous tanktop?

this is how Roman shouldve been booked years ago, as a babyface he was worse than Cena in being so blatantly obvious shoved down the fans throats,
Cena knew how to work around that cause he had natural charisma

Roman is beyond trash as a babyface and his in ring work is Randy Orton status

however
Roman is playing his heel role to perfection, and he finally looks like a main eventer, only took them 8 fukkin years to get it right

In all fairness Cena would have been way more over with a heel turn too
