Reigns needs to expand his moveset, i guess new attire.

his mic skills are passable, if you watched the 2k15 panel. The smooth talking laid back guy is really him. The problem is the writing team TRYING to make him seem cool when its not necessary. He's naturally cool and they got his saying the most forced and corny 1 liners in his promo.

Concerinig Reigns



Been saying this for the longest.
Would feel a lot more organic if they took the leash off and let him be himself.
Part of what makes great characters when they talk is that you get the feeling that's who they are.
I truly believed Austin was a beer guzzling, IDGAF redneck.
I truly believed Rock was a wise-cracking, narcissistic smart ass.
I know Vince and HHH are hands on because Reigns is their next meal ticket if all goes according to plan, but he'll benefit from it the long run and build rapport with the fans who they're going to need to be in his corner if they don't want the match w/ Lesnar to absolutely bomb and backfire.
Unless he has the personality of a brick wall, take the kiddie gloves off and give him a chance.
you can't take off the leash on someone that isn't naturally charismatic or fluent on the Mic. By all intents and purposes reigns should still be in the minors learning

This. The problem is that Reigns' natural disposition is the exact opposite of the disposition that they want top faces to have. Thus, instead of letting Reigns inject some of his natural charisma into his mic work, they keep trying to square peg/round hole him. It's dumb, and it's eventually going to blow up in their faces, with dire consequences for Reigns.

Yo Seth Rollins mic skills ain't to shabby. That backstage interview last night on Raw was his best time on the mic since the breakup. I wish everyone would stop saying he's vanilla or forgettable just becuz he's not dean ambrose or roman reigns.

Seth is a wrestler he's a workout freak he's going to develop his character, he's going to be even better in ring wise (which dean or reigns ain't touching him there) and his mic skills are done with nice delivery, the right pauses and enuff arrogance to make him a player in the wwe.

This is not a knock but I don't expect to see Seth filming movies so give him a chance realize his value as a great seller, in ring talent that can carry guys like reigns, can have great matches with anyone, and can talk the talk as well.

No it wasn't. :why: It was racist as hell and gave me horrible secondhand embarrassement. His "I didn't sell out, I bought in" promo has been his best so far.

Seth's promo problems are the same ones he's had since he was in The Shield. He starts off strong, then he begins to ramble and then you're just like

:dahell: was so racist about it? I was gonna comment last night on how I thought Rollins mic skills was on point in the sticky raw thread but saw that and was like :wtf: and left it alone. I was lmao.

Every reviewer of Raw that I respect thought his interview was on point as well. I think he does have mic skills and While the i didn't sell out i bought in promo was good last night was equally or even better. Just face the facts Seth isn't Rock, or Ambrose on the stick but he does have promo/mic skills.

He said Roman's knuckles are bloody because he drags them on the ground like a gorilla, and then proceeded to imitate Roman by doing this
