I'm betting if he trashed Roman everyone would praise his opinion. you mean, if sid's views were spot on with several of the board members they'd agree and speak highly of his opinion? god forbid! anyways, sid was a great wrestler but was never exactly known for his brains. these types of wrestling criticisms are common place amongst the old timers. I'm not saying i agree, and I'm not saying i disagree, but it's funny he's "irrelevant" is the 1st defense when somebody has a different opinion.

Wrestling is subjective. Sid is entitled to his opinion. I don't agree with it. Most won't. But I do find it funny when fans think their opinions mean more than people who actually wrestle.

I'd take Owens over Reigns and his shoved down our throats accomplishments any day.

Sid is stuck in the old WWF model. There is a place on the card for big guys, flippy guys, technical, submission, hardcore, lucha, strong style and even fat guys in a tshirt. If you can draw, then it doesnt matter.

How can he really say if by the sound of it he doesn't even really pay attention or watch the current product. When Owens first came in I didn't get the hype. I didn't watch his Indy work but have heard of him. He was whatever to me. Then he started getting the push I still didn't get it. But then I don't know when or why but I started to see it. The guy is pure ing money! His heel work is AMAZING. His promos, ring worn and especially how he interacts with the crowd/audience. He is one of the very few you can say has the complete package. He may not be 7 foot and 300 pounds and look like he has a needle still stuck in his ass but those days are over. Roman struggles so much because that's all he really has going. Is that "look". Everything else since he left the shield has been cringe worthy in my opinion. Sid is just stuck in the old days where that's what got you by I'm not supporting his opinion, but I think he's just looking at them at a glance. Yeah on the surface, if you saw Reigns on a magazine cover or a highlight package, he'd probably look a lot more credible than Owens. I think that's where he's coming from.

While it's a respectable opinion, it's wrong.
While Roman isn't bad at all in the ring, he can't touch Owens on the following:
Mic work In-ring skills Charisma Character
The only thing that Reigns has on Owens is "The look". Which is still a thing in 2017. But yeah while Reigns is coming around in the ring, he's still has the personality of a ham sandwich. What's the best promo he cut? When has he captivated the audience with his verbiage? The guy has 0% personality, charisma, and identity. The only thing saving him is his in in-ring skills.

To be fair, that promo on Raw the night after Wrestlemania where he stood in the ring for like well over 10 minutes, maybe even 15 minutes, and let the fans boo him and chant horrible things to him that entire time, just to say, "It's my yard now!" and walk away was probably more character and charisma than Kevin Owens could ever pull off in a ring with the fans. And I am not a hater on Owens, just Owens comes off at times as just mouthy. All he does is yap in the ring, where has Reigns didn't have to say anything to get a reaction.

Sid was a huge part of the business and knows what he's talking about so it's wrong for fans to call him out of touch and stuck in the past. It's his personal opinion and if he was praising Owens and blasting Reigns then everyone would be worshipping his opinion.
As far as I'm concerned I like both guys and they both entertain me in the ring.

Light years ahead in terms of things he's been handed on a plate. Roman wrestles night in and night out much like everyone else. WWE has chosen who they want to push for decades. Today is no different. Just because WWE chooses other guys over indy darlings shouldn't discredit Roman or anyone else. The internet makes all these indy guys out to be the second coming of Jesus. Yeah they're good, but they always get overrated because the general opinion online is so anti-establishment any bit of a difference of opinion is taboo. And that's what it all is...opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own. I don't see what is so special about Owens. He is athletic for a fat guy. Other than that he isn't a CM Punk/John Cena/Rock level on the mic. He is just a master of sarcasm who talks over whoever he is on screen with. He is nowhere near as good as online fans rate him.

Owens has everything it takes to be a star but the look.
Reigns has nothing but the look and last name.

I'm no fan of Reigns but I didn't see Owens in the main event of the last three WrestleManias.
Random note: Roman's matches with AJ Styles were significantly better than Owens'.
