***ROMAN REIGNS APPRECIATION THREAD***

[dh86]

You can't reach that top level in WWE without mic skills, I've heard nothing besides one liners from him so far

 

[dh86]

I still want them to take their time, it still feels a little too soon to pull him away from the cloak of the Shield. That faction hides his negatives extremely well while boosting his positives, dude comes across like the wrong dude to fukk with period right now because he's all action little talk

That slow burn Batista had when he finally got sick of HHH's shyt and snapped on him is similar to what Roman and Dean Ambrose can have



-P-

I'd start the turn next summer and build from there to a breaking point rumble time

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH-RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

Believe.

Reigns vs Bryan in the main event of WM 32? Hmmmm....nah. He would need vast improvement to be able to handle that kind of mic work and what not on that level to sell WM.

Ambroise will be alright..his mic time has been cut but the more he talks, the more fans are gonna get behind a guy like that. So it's only opportunities that's making him seem lesser than he really is at this time and point. Somebody has to do the money promo to get Reigns out of the Shield.

Who would've thought one half of the Hollywood Blondes and Rocky Maivia would save WWF and lead it into unprecedented heights?

Who would've seen Hunter Hearst Helmsley, no sold at WM 12, become heir apparent to the biggest wrestling conglomerate on Earth?

Who would've thought a wigger from Boston would become WWF/E's longest reigning top guy?

You laugh at Reigns vs Bryan now but stranger things have happened

I will concede that when it comes to being the top guy, mic skills set more precedence than ring skills. Look at all four top guys, Austin before his neck injury was probably the best wrestler yet it was their promo work that aided their in ring theatrics and not the other way around. Reigns IS unproven in this regard. It'll be interesting to see him as well as the NXT kids develop.

You're talking about some extreme examples. There is nobody that has ever reached the success of Rocky and Austin..competition was why they got those big pushes. In Austin's case, Vince didn't even pay attention until the merchandise returns got great.

Cripple H was politically connected and should of been fired as a failure back in 1997. He's lucky. Not legitimate. Never has been. Cena and Lesnar exceeding him as soon as the company thought they was ready MORE than proved that.

Cena is only where he is because the Rock was done at around 30 and Lesnar quit at 27. He's NOWHERE near legit at all. He's just got the entire marketing of the WWE behind him. That's all.

Reigns has a long way to go unless he's cheating with Stephanie, then he might be called one of the all time greats for years to come as well.

What's so extreme about them? The Rock, SCSA, and every wrestler all started out as rookies once upon a time. Rookies, like the Shield are now. Their overwhelming success later on in their careers doesn't rewrite "Die Rocky Die" and feuding with Savio Vega as Dibiase's lackey. Let them find their groove.

Whether Triple H got to where he is by politicking or hard work doesn't change the FACT that the designated driver and bag carrier of the Kliq holds the keys to WWE. Same goes with Cena. People forget that the rapping gimmick got over and Cena was a heavy favorite of the fans until he started facing vets. You say that he has the marketing of the WWE behind him as if every top star before him didn't receive the same treatment. Who's catchphrase is the name of WWE's B-Show? It's not Cena's.

I'm not crowning the guy I'm just commenting on a group of young guys who are coming off one of the strongest rookie years in recent memory and their future.

Out with the sick

 

[thevarangian]

The amount in which Reigns has improved is incredible. Dude has IT. He just does. His moves look legit, he got the aura of being a scary dude. IMO he's the best new-comer the E has had in YEARS.

Dude is gonna be SUPERSTAR down the line. I'm fukking CALLING it.

 

[thevarangian]

I can literally watch Reigns do the superman punch forever.

 

[jackswstd]

Roman can improve his mic skills enough to be passable. From the time The Shield debuted I said he was gonna be the star some guys just have that "IT" factor and he has it in spades.
