We're gonna need it.
Discuss Roman Reigns' push, booking, character, fan reactions (live & online) leading into the main event of WrestleMania 31.
MAKE IT REIGN BITCHES!!!
You gotta love THANOS coward complaining style, trying to bash Reigns, while trying to look smart, while trying to avoid sounding biased, but still an obvious bryan butthurt mark, always thinking the net articles and videos are 100% true.
THANOS: Punk trained with Gracie he is not at lesnar level but he can beat anyone in the WWE, or Punk says he doesnt care for belts, but he is probabily purple.
Later Punk comments he is not that good.
This thread is hilarious, Keyfabe is there just when Bryan need it. Too much bias. Not saying that Bryan isnt believable since last WM put him high in the kayfabe, but that doesnt mean Reigns isnt.
Tag team matches do not count and they haven't booked him like he's that strong anyways, regardless of if that is WWE booking or Reigns being green he hasn't looked impressive at all. Seriously what singles competitions did he look great in? He has won no titles, is a hot tag guy and most of the matches he's had solo he's looked weak. Goldberg isn't even a good comparison, Reigns isn't Goldberg, he doesn't even look half as physically imposing as Goldberg.Reigns is believable if they book him to be. Aside from losing to the Big Show on Raw (which was fucking ridiculous), he's undefeated in singles competition and has pinned a ton of former world champions in one-on-one matches, as well as HHH, Cena, and Batista in tag team matches. There's nothing that says he CAN'T beat Lesnar.
Who did Goldberg beat before winning the championship from Hogan? It's not like ran through Randy Savage, Sting, Kevin Nash, The Giant, Ric Flair, Lex Luger, etc., or anything. He beat mostly under-carders like Disco Inferno, Alex Wright, Hugh Morrus, etc. and then it was off to fight Hogan. But they booked him to show a huge display of strength, power and intensity, and thus people bought him as a threat. They can easily do the same with Reigns for Lesnar.
It all depends on Brock's contract. If Brock is resigning then I don't see either Bryan or Reigns beating him, if not then yeah Reigns will probably go over. In the long run I think he'd benefit from losing against Brock in a strong showing.I was just posing the question does Roman Reigns have to win his first wrestlemania main event/big match?
Bret Hart lost his Wreslemania 9 Main Event to Yokozuna went on to win the King of The Ring before winning the Wrestlemania 10 Main Event against Yokozuna.
Shawn Michaels lost his Wrestlemania 11 Main Event to Diesal went on to win the Intercontinental Title before winning the Wrestlemania 12 Main Event against Bret Hart.
Steve Austin won the rumble but wasn't allowed to get a title shot at Mania lost to Bret Hart at Mania 13 went on to win the Intercontinental Title at Summerslam before winning the Wrestlemania 14 Main Event.
The Rock lost his Wrestlemania 15 Main Event went on to win the tag titles with Foley lost his Wrestlemania 16 Main Event before winning the WWE Title at Backlash.
Flapjack.Pardon my ineptitude, the verbiage escapes me here at work, but what's the name of a move like that...shoulder drop Roman did on Smackdown last night against Miz? It almost looked like an F5 mixed with a Samoan Drop.
Anyone know the technical term for it?
On a side note, I'm pleased to see him putting in some new moves in his on-tv arsenal, and he did a good job on the mic as well last night I felt.
Seriously... in terms of believability, Ziggler and Bryan are both far more believable than Reigns. Actually, going by actual in ring ability Reigns is the underdog to most of the WWE roster. Until he can string together a logical sequence himself, he will never truly look like a dominant athlete.Except for the Goliath crap, everyone knows that a small athlete v bigger athlete isn't an underdog story?
It's a difference in talent and advantages, not height difference
:lol
Reigns continues to get that mainstream media attention :drose
