Wanna know the dumb reason I kinda like the vest? Because when I was a kid. I religiously made my GI Joes wrestle. I took it serious. But some GI Joes wore tactical gear and it made me feel like an idiot pretending that they could wrestle in that. Welp fast forward 30 years... and I don't feel so stupid. So thanks Roman for wearing the vest and a belated thanks to Farooq for wrestling in a helmet. What about D-Lo and his chest protector? That helped too.

I remember the online rumor being that he wore it because it made his torso look bigger. The good 'ol internet. i thought it was more to hide his gyno that runs heavily in samoan genes. more likely than not it's most likely supposed to look cool to kids.

If they decide against the vest then I'll not complain about the decision.

He should have dropped that attire and the Shield music back when Seth and Dean did. It took forever before he stopped doing the crowd entrance too, he never really got his own identity. That's hurt him, not as much as the superman booking and corny jokes, but still.

How about we bring back chair shots to the head? Problem solved Nope. That's one thing in wrestling I can gladly forget about.

the reason why he still uses SHIELD theme and SHIELD ring gear is so he gets that 1% over with the fans.

The thing is aswell kids dig his look and my nephew and his friends think he's the coolest looking wrestler on the roster.
You have to realise aswell Roman lacks a lot personality wise so his standout look kind of makes up for that.

Not directed at anyone but- Why is this place so hyper focused on Roman? I'm convinced some of you waste countless hours a week thinking about, hating, pretending to hate, secretly loving, Roman Reigns. I'm pretty sure some folks here have a Roman shrine somewhere lol.

Why doesnt anyone complain when someone bumps off the padded turnbuckles. Its comical, Reigns haters will come up with almost anything just to bitch. No one complained when ALL 3 of the Shield wore them, and took kendo shots and chair shots to the back. Quite funny.

Maybe the vest should just be entrance gear.

I have always thought that his gear makes him look pretty bad ass and I think the chest thing is a big part of that.

The chair shot thing I can look past because its a steel chair, which is heavier and more believable that it can cause damage even if someone is covering it up. Now those cheap ass palm tree kendo sticks is a different story. That thing looks so stupid and flimsy to begin with. But when you swing it against his chest protector and its literally breaking, how the hell is that supposed to be the least bit believable.

Being hit with a real steal chair would break someone's back. Besides most of Roman's back is exposed so it's not as protected as the front.

But from a kayfabe standpoint, a chair is more believable than a flimsy kendo stick that always breaks.

I like the gear when he wears the Roman empire tank top shirt instead of the vest
