Stone G.O.A.T On Reigns Being Exposed At Mania
- Thread starter Green Ranger

It's getting tiring discussing Luger at this point, everything Austin said is correct tho. Dude doesn't need to be working 20+ minute matches because he isn't that type of wrestler and can't keep the crowd into it that long.
Should've just gave him the Goldberg/Samoa Joe/Ryback undefeated push from the start if you wanted a new top babyface

i mean, if you remember Roman was always the hot-tag in the Shield.
He came in, did his thing and closed out matches. He's a Lambo/Ferrari...not a Cadillac.
His facial expressions when selling are still amateur level and that doesn't help his matches tell a story.
Personally, I like the guy, but HATE his character direction & booking. He needs to be a heel and have 12-15 min matches. Vince just needs to suck up his hopes of Roman being an immediate cash-merch cow like Cena and let it happen naturally.

still waiting for Roman to develop his own character and stop wearing the rent-a-cop costume 
Roman has to kick ass and do it a lot. The slow comeback style is not what he should be doing at all.

they are putting so much energy into this guy to force him upon the masses. I think things wouldve been better with a slow burn push with him holding the IC or US title before going after the WHC. shyt even Goldberg held the US championship during his initial run

at people in this board still thinking that's the case but still liking a lot of Reigns matches. Yes, the WM main event was way too long and didn't work at all. But dude has enough good-to-great matches with enough different opponents for me to draw the conclusion he can do good work as a babyface in the ring (we all agree his character work is mostly garbage).
Stone Cold was spot on about Wrestlemania. Once again Triple H failed to realize the crowd needed another type of match but whatever. Reigns can work a very good comeback if he's wrestling a dude that can get heel heat and work a good control section - Hunter tried to do that, but those fans were not going to buy into it no matter what, I was wrong thinking they would tbh - so miss me with the "he can't work this type of matches".
At first Austin used to c/status him talking about his look and eventually he would be money with a few patches. But now the backlash is so loud...he thinks that heel run needs to go down for him to speak to the fans in the right way.
Reigns sounded shook a little bit during that face off with AJ on Raw.

I think that's just the WWE main event style that they have stuck to since 02. But your point is right nonetheless.

Yeah, put the blame on Roman, not that fossilized bulk of steroids carried around on a bunch of shaky quads called Triple H. Are we gonna ignore that Trips' match against Dean at Roadblock was just as bad? In fact, how the hell did Ziggler on Raw end up having the best match out of the three Trips wrestled?
