He's getting less and less reaction. He's not very relatable imo.

I just can't get on board with Reigns. First off I feel Orton has been carrying him through their matches. But that is besides the point. The real problems I am having are they want me to believe he is this powerhouse monster...yet he has had trouble hoisting larger guys into a belly to back suplex last week. Most recently Kane last week. But visually they continue to have him wear the padded vest which to me makes him look like he's not really tough and can't take a beating.

"WWE never make new stars they just use Cena" >WWE attempts to make new star "WWE are just making him another Cena!" >WF Logic Have you watched how they booked Regins . winning matches with his five moves of doom despite getting his ass kicked through out the entire match.him being super man and not catching a beat down. despite the Authority having a three on one advantage. Even better take the raw from a couple weeks back when they were in iowa and Rollins was getting cheered of regins. and the announcers said they were cheering him overs regins. because they wanted to see Regins kick hiss ass. despite in being in Rollins home town. Of course they aren't going to acknowledge a heel getting cheered over a face(unless it involves Cena). A lot of top guys have/had their go to moves, aka "5 Moves of Doom"... |

Reigns is a poor man's Cena. The internet has every right to complain about the guy until he actually gets over with the crowd, learns how to wrestle, or doesn't absolutely suck on the microphone. He's the next Batista. He's getting this push no matter how bad he sucks and they will likely stick with him for as long as it takes for him to figure it out. I'll always agree that Reigns sucks on the mic, and I'm actually pulling for the guy to succeed as the next top guy. He was starting to get big pops on RAW when they first split up the Shield. I remember my cousin telling me when he went to Cleveland that Reigns got one of the biggest pops that night when he won the battle royal. The fans are starting to quiet down, but that's cause they're making him too much like Cena. Now I know that's worked for Hogan, Rock, Austin, Cena, difference is with all four of them is that they had a little bit of vulnerability, which made the fans root for them more. With Reigns, I've seen him get beat down a total of two times unless he also got beat down on Smackdown one time since his singles run. It's cool with him to be dominant, but once and a while it's not a bad thing for him to get beat down against someone he's feuding with because that could make the fans root for Reigns more and when Reigns wins his feuds, it'll feel special. I've always said if Reigns could work on his in-ring psychology a little more, he'll improve more. I really don't have that big of a problem with his moveset, but he's still lacking a little of the in ring psychology and a lot of his mic work. |

This five moves of doom crapis old guys.
Austin - Stunner, Lou Thez press thing, corner stomp, middle rope elbow drop / bounce of the rope knee drop (both with theatrical middle fingering)
The Rock - Rock Bottom, People's Elbow, Sharp Shooter, Samoan drop, and if you count it, theatrical people's slaps
Hogan - Big Boot, Leg drop, Hulk up, Bear hug? theatrical punches with ohh ahh sound effects
Sheamus - Brouge, Celtic Cross, White noise, tied up on the ropes chest smash x10, shoulder block
There are a crapton of wrestlers that have their 5 moves of death. The only reason we notice it more now is that the people sat ringside "calling the action" are too busy plugging another gimmick weather it be, twitter, instagram (so i heard monday night) tout, or whatever form of media they're dabbling in that month. plugging something that happening later in the night (main event) or something that happened before the match. Very rarely these days do we hear anything about whats happening in the ring unless its a pin attempt, submission attempt or when someone hits their signature move.

It's absolutely ridiculous, and dim, to say that wrestlers who have comeback sequences suck. As soon as someone pulls out that "five moves of doom" thing as a complaint, you know they're about eleven years old (or have an IQ of 11) and they don't actually pay attention to wrestling at all, because if they did they'd realise that every top babyface and most mid-level babyfaces have those sequences.
Flying forearm, atomic drop, bodyslam, flying elbow, superkick.

Running elbow, running corner or missile dropkick, suicide dive, YES kicks, running knee/Yes Lock.
And I love Daniel Bryan but comeback sequences are an obvious babyface thing. Yes, Bryan's might be a bit more than five moves, but you get the gist.
