Reigns has no cardio

How do they expect Reigns to be their top guy when he can't even go 10 minutes without being gassed? He looked like he was going to pass out at the end of his match with Big Show. Meanwhile Bryan wrestled a 25 minute match against Kane and looked like he could have easily went another 25 minutes.

All this talk about his lack of mic skills and wrestling ability but his lack of cardio might be the biggest problem. It's fine on TV tapings but on PPV's your main eventers got to go 30 minutes.

Absolutely OP. Reigns has no cardio, he is barely 5'11'' tall, can't talk, can't wrestle, is ugly as fuck, is not white, doesn't jump in air like a monkey to chant :yes, and his beard is also very small when in comparision to greatest of all time Daniel f'n bryan :bryan2

we all better believe that:reigns

What I find funny is Cena is a lot bigger than Reigns muscular wise yet Cena can do 30+ minute matches without looking gassed. You'd think a guy like Reigns could too. Even Ryback doesn't look as gassed as Reigns does. And LOL at the whole football nonsense, I work with several ex college football players and most of them don't even look like they could be mall cops.

Being a football player doesn't make you a world class athlete. And world class athletes don't have asthma attacks after five minutes in the ring.
Sure does. Football players are the best athletes on the planet. Ask anyone who actually plays sports. The sport encompasses every characteristic an athlete needs. Speed, Power, Strength, Finesse, Explosion, Conditioning. Need i go on? And the idea of the match was that he just fought for 10 mins against a guy theyre trying to portray as a super monster in Show. Ever think maybe he's supposed to look like he was tired? like it was a war? If he was in there w Ziggler running around for 10, maybe. But nobodies struggling to keep pace w the Big Slow. Ever think that "The worst wrestler in the business" may have just done a decent job selling it this time? of course not right?

Yeah, good football players. Not failed ones. If Roman was worth a shit, he would be playing footfall and making more money than he does here. Playing footfall doesn't automatically make you a world class athlete, whether you suck at it or not. And please with the selling argument. Reigns tires out in every match the same way. He has piss poor cardio and is good at NOTHING.

The same could be said about The Rock and Goldberg in their early years in the business.

They made it, and so will Reigns.

Well thank you for making one of the single dumbest comments ive ever read on this board and making it easier more my point to be seen. What NFL football player is a "Failed Football Player"? Stats say 1 1/1000th percentage of people who play football ever sign a pro contract. Thats like being the "worst olympian" haha. Just bc there are literally a couple of people on the planet better than him, hes a failure. Prob be beneficial to put maybe 3 sexonds of thought into your next post dude. Solid try though

Easy answer. Have him wear a really tough looking bullet proof vest type outfit. It makes him look bigger with the padding, while at the same time acting as a garter to tuck in his gut. If they let Ziggler do that he could be the next "big man" too since they're actually about the same size in real wrestling gear.

No, he's not at all like the guys you see at your gym haha. He's on a whole different planet from them. You all have to start being realistic and giving credit where its due. I must start going to the gyms you attend, where 265 lb guys are running as fast as this guy around the ring, jumping high as he does when he hit the superman punch tonight on a 7 footer on the top rope, and where these guys pop up off the mat 3 or 4 times before a normal guy knows what hit them. Im losing faith in this board quick w some of this nonsense. We're talking the FREAKIN NFL! Where its so physically demanding that they only play 16 games a year to the NBA and NHLs 82 games or the MLBs 162 games. Think about that. Its bc it puts such a demand and stress on the body that it cant handle and more that that

Umm, but he is though. He was considered a strong athlete as an NFL prospect, even at 300+ pounds. He wasn't a very good player by NFL standards, but not because of athleticism. Not all NFL players are world class athletes, but the level of athleticism is substantially higher than in the WWE, that's for sure, that's why failed NFL players can look like athletic monsters in the E.

Ridiculous that people think they can tell how tired someone is by their breathing pattern. His power and athleticism is still there.

Let the confirmation bias "Reign", I'm glad I've never had to sit and watch someone I irrationally hate take over my favorite TV show. hahhahah
