Memo to Roman Reigns haters

Roman Reigns is boring. That's all there is to it for me.

Do the people who support Roman believe that he's ready for a mega push to the World Championship?

Nope. Where do I even begin with this nonsense.

1. You can't blame the wrestling audience for evolving. It's actually WWE's fault for not adapting in that situation. Fans were literally telling WWE they wanted guys like Punk and Bryan, and the WWE was continuously saying "no, no, no, you want this guy over here with the big ing muscles." And that's bullsh*t. Every other wrestling promotion in the world has broken down those walls and WWE is still clinging to prehistoric traditions because Vince has an alpha male complex, and is moderately homosexual imo.

2. Roman Reigns can't talk. This has nothing to do with his in-ring ability. His Cool Hand Luke charisma is only going to take him so far, and so far, they haven't protected his inability to talk. The Rock wasn't really ever that great of a worker either imo, or at least he was very mechanical in a Cena kind of way, but he could jive, and he was truly bursting with charisma. They want Reigns to be that guy, but he's just not, at least not yet, and maybe not ever.

3. The audience really doesn't like him that much. This is the thing that makes me laugh the most. He gets pops, decent pops, but nothing like what he was getting in the Shield. He has no character. He looks like a guy that should still be in The Shield, but he's shieldless. They need to find a niche for Reigns because right now he's just some generic dude who has already thrown a million superman punches and looks like Jason Momoa. I genuinely have no idea why I should like Roman Reigns. Seriously, what's special about him? He's not even that big, and I'm pretty sure he's openly said Rollins kicks his ass in the gym.

4. He's being shoved down our throats. He's being manufactured by the machine. Fans don't want to be told who the next guy is, they want to pick the next guy. You can absolutely, 1000%, tell that WWE is trying to get Reigns over and fans naturally reject that kind of mentality. WWE isn't cool. So if they have to tell us which guy on the roster is cool, it obviously isn't very cool.

5. Let's not act like we're not fans of big guys. Drew McIntyre was 6'6, Wade Barrett is 6'7, I don't like Sheamus' character but as a worker I'll take him every single day over Reigns and he's like 6'5 and 270. If you want to go back through time, Ultimate Warrior, Kevin Nash, Undertaker, Kerry Von Erich, Scott Hall, Bam Bam, Vader, I mean there are tons of guys who I've enjoyed and still enjoy that aren't work rate guys. But then, WWE blow hards don't want to hear that sh*t. They don't want to hear about how I just enjoyed watching Gallows and Machine Gun kick ass over on WK9 because I think their powerhouse stuff is gnarly.

The truth is that Roman Reigns isn't ready. That's the ing reality of the situation. It has nothing to do with the fans, or the internet, or anything else. It's WWE pushing a guy too hard, too fast, and the audience reacting accordingly. Go ahead though, let him win the Rumble. Let him win the title at Mania. Just don't act surprised when fans boo him out of the building. Put a midcard title on the guy. let him get a decent match under his belt. Let us all have an opportunity to like the guy before WWE decides he's the next John Cena. Let us not even get into the idea of creating a replica of a guy most of us have been sick of for nearly a decade.

But yay for having a blog and speaking the english language!

Well this is phenomenal. Especially point number 5. Everyone assumes that because Vince McMahon wants to push a bigger guy with his look, everyone who is against is "MUST LIKE THE LITTLE GUYS". Seriously, this is a fantastic post.

It's just another case of "don't tell me who to like, dad! I'm going to my room!"

Doesn't really answer my question. I'm just really curious to see the perspective from someone who actually like Roman Reigns, because honestly, I don't understand how someone could say that he's ready.

Nah. I support Roman Reigns, but he is not ready for the push he's getting. Had he not had that injury in September, he might have been close IMO. If he can improve on his promo skills, which I believe is what he's lacking the most, he would be ready. Not everyone who gets pushed for the main event has to have 5 star matches. IMO, as long as they're believable and can get the crowd invested in them with their promos and connecting with the crowd with what they do in the ring, they're good to get pushed. IMO, someone like Ziggler deserves Reign's spot a lot more just to give an example.

I like Reigns. Is he ready? Maybe. Maybe not? Is it my job to say so? Maybe. Maybe not. Is he going to get pushed regardless? Probably. Will people bitch about who's getti pushed whether it's Reigns or not? Absolutely.

But to directly answer your question, I am a Reigns fan. I don't think he's ready for what's in store. But he may surprise us all. Time will tell and I'm just going to try to enjoy it. I've never enjoyed Cena any. At all. Yet I keep watching as an optimistic fan of pro wrestling because I love the entertainment it brings me. They don't sign my paycheck. I don't own stock. They can honestly push who they want. I don't have to watch. I choose to.

Sure most people want new maint eventers, that doesn't mean we have to like them. I really enjoy Ambrose, Rollins, and Wyatt.

No not because their "darlings". I haven't seen any of their indy work. I judged them on what they brought to the main roster. I have no bias against Reigns, I just do not like him.
