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.

Batista injured his Achilles before returning, that's why he lacked cardio, not to mention his age and his moveset is rather taxing.

Speak for yourself. The vast majority of the WWE universe do.

World class athlete my ass. When Batista has more cardio than you (at his age), you know it's bad.

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.

listen, football requires incredible athleticism to play, but their athletes are not built for endurance. They are built for explosiveness. Wrestling is completely different, its hard on the body in a grinding way and takes really strong endurance (cardio).

Thats why Reigns and guys like him tire out, they spent most of their lives training for a different kind of athletic competition.

Again, they are all athletes, just different kinds. Rugby players are better at endurance than NFL players, and they generally make better wrestlers. NFL players will be more capable of having that 'special attraction' feel.

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

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.

How are people even defending the fact he has no cardio, far out. Are all you Reigns marks that fucking precious you have to defend a completely obvious fact? His cardio is awful, so so awful and that vest is hiding his lack of stomach and chest definition.

It's an insult to Cena when these two are compared. Cena can actually work good matches, cut a promo and y'know, not get gassed after 2 minutes. Oh and he also has more than 3 moves.

Also Cena can accept criticism, Reigns can't and just bitches and claims fans hate their lives. How can wwe even consider this tool as the next face of the WWE?

Subs went up because of the UK release of the network, there's a pretty big fanbase for it here. Reigns winning the rumble the way he did actually decreased subs (even if only a couple thousand - take with grain of salt obviously).

As for him having little cardio, spot on. Strength and size =/= Endurance and stamina

I don't know if people in this thread realise it is possible to fall out of shape. It's actually very common, particularly with people that played sports around high school/college age and stopped caring later in life. Reigns obviously is no grouch in the strength/bodybuilding section but someone ought to tell him to hit the treadmill some time, and for longer than just ten minutes.

Nah I think anyone familiar w it totally understands it's possible to fall out of shape. But it's hard to believe a guy in his 20's, wrestling upwards of 300x per year which in itself will keep you in shape, who is also obviously lifting weights where even if he's not sprinting he's still getting SOME benefits, and he has spent the last 15 hrs building a foundation of food fitness which in fact does take a long time of actually inactivity to undo

Guess Vince failed to realize why Reigns spent 98% of the Shield tag matches on the apron.



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?

Then why is it that almost every football player who's tried out for wrestling has quit citing it was much harder on them than football? Footballers get breaks, wrestlers don't.
