God damn, his promo last night was terrible. Am I the only one who thought that was arguably his worst since "Sufferin Succotash"?
For the love of God keep that microphone away from him.

The crowd started to chant "boring". I think that threw him off.
I kind of like Reigns. He has sick moves that are wicked awesome. Maybe he shouldn't be talking as much, I don't know.
I think maybe because wrestling is a show on TV, and you want people watching to enjoy the show, that they should work performers' strengths. Like if a guy has sick moves they should showcase that but if another guy is good on the stick then he should do more of that. That's what I think anyway.

They should treat him like Goldberg during his early run in WCW and never ever ever let him touch a f*ckin' mic.
He's awful on the stick.

The crowd started to chant boring and he flipped the script it seemed and it came off even worse. When Reigns was with the Shield he was awesome. Ambrose did most of the talking, Rollins was the ariel wrestling and Reigns was the powerhouse badass. They are trying to make him look like something he definitely isnt. Just because they say hes The Rock's cousin (though apparently he really isnt?) doesnt mean he has The Rocks talent.

He has 0 mic skills. I'm warming up to him a LOT, but he should not be cutting promos.

I will give him credit for speaking at a pace that made it awkward to keep chanting "What?" Also him acknowledging the chants killed their momentum really quick. Overall it still wasn't good, and the crowd was dead for the whole match.

This isn't Roman's fault but...
I won't take him seriously until he loses the blue contacts. It's such a phony, cheap ploy by WWE. Plus, it looks absolutely ridiculous. He's Samoan. He has brown eyes. It's ok to have brown eyes. I'm sure the hunnies will still like him with brown eyes.
It's something so small but it really bothers me for some reason.

The way Roman turned Wyatt's "anyone but you" line referencing their HIAC Match was pretty good, I'll give him that. But the rest, I didn't care for. Came off like a John Cena promo almost.
Dude just lacks the intensity I feel his character needs; don't know if that's how the guys in charge want it to be, or if he isn't able to reach that point consistently.

What did this have to do with this family and providing for his family? Isnt that Kevin Owens stick? They could have went on with that, when Wyatt had the creepy pictures of Reigns daughter but they really didnt go on about his family. This whole feud has been empty, literally nothing went into it and nothing will come out of it.

I liked it. The crowd crapped all over it, but Reigns seemed to try and justify with them. Chanting Husky Harris tells what sort of losers were in that crowd anyway.

It was miserable, and it was a great piece of evidence in the large collection of "reasons Roman Reigns can't be the guy."
At least not until he cuts his teeth as a monster heel and learns to be something other than a big spot guy in the ring.

He should turn heel already.

He's awkward enough on the mic already, but the crowd certainly threw him off.
I still think a heel turn and a manger is the way to go with this guy. He's got the look and the ability, but he needs a mouthpiece for awhile. Once he get's more comfortable on the mic, have him break away on his own again.

He's no good on the mic yet...but does it really matter? He's gonna be world champion whether he is good or not so why bother even being critical of him. This isn't NXT where they actually listen to fans...

Roman Reigns has been getting better on the mic, and this is the only way to do it. You can't improve if they take the mic away from you. Failing is part of the learning process. Roman has no problems talking. He has shown that he's a good spokesman/PR for WWE. He just hasn't found his footing on the mic yet and I believe a heel turn could help that cause. Turn him heel and let him go out there unscripted only with bullet points. Steve ing Austin has said numerous times that there's money in Roman Reigns heel.

I would completely disagree with that sentiment. He came off forced, fake, and unlikable in the segment last week, especially juxtaposed with John Cena. In public interviews, he sticks his foot in his mouth more often than not. He usually comes off as an entitled jerk who can't possibly understand why people dislike him. He's incredibly condescending in tone and gives off the vibe that he doesn't give a crap how he's handled, so long as he's making that monaaaaaay. That may be true, but it's not something you echo in public, especially when you're being groomed to be the next top babyface. It does, however, make for a fantastic heel. In that respect, we agree.
