If he is a tweener and he is "not a good guy" he shouldn't be connected with these two boring motherfuckers, Roman should be alone and he should be smug and ruthless, he shouldn't be making friends with nobody.
They make a good job portraying his character in the ring, when he is wrestling he looks like a heel, he stands tall and taunts the crowd when theey are booing him, he kicks his opponents ass and shows heels mannerisms, he doesn't give a fuck, he looks freaking badass even if the crowd boo him.
But out of the ring he is just a guy that gets helped by his two stupid babyface cousins and makes charity on screen time, that's not how you book a tweener, Roman shouldn't even be adressing the Usos' existence, same with Ambrose, they are killing his character.
Yeah, whenever they take a step forward with Roman Reigns' character they take two very large steps back by having him acknowledge the two most annoying dudes on the roster. Fuck sake it's really not rocket science is it.
Yep. I was actually starting to watch Raw again, they were keeping Roman's promos short and to the point, then they tag him with those bouncing bozos that act like a couple kids who drank too much soda. Painful stuff.:batista3
He seems like he is embarrassed by their presence and attitude though, I wouldn't be surprised if Roman and AJ beat up their own cronies because they kept interfering in the matches that they want to settle with themselves.
OK, hate to set you straight on this as a fellow kiwi but they are not doing a haka. It is called a Manu Siva Tau. It is a traditional samoan war dance...
Any way back on topic. I agree, I wish they would drop the whole cousin thing. Does wwe think we have forgotten the countless times he kicked the uso's assessment during his shield days?
if he really was all for the family he would have stopped dean and seth from attacking them.
In saying that I still like the uso's and who else would be more logical to have Roman's back against aj, gallows and the other guy? Unless somehow, maybe wwe erase our memories front the last year or so, the shield get back together (and that ain't happening any time soon)
What makes me laugh is how the commentators and company act like Luke gallows is some fresh meat from Japan and never set foot in the wwe before.... hellooooooo straight edge society anyone? Also wasn't he Festus?
Well they really need a heel turn or some kind of character change, so hopefully that's where this is going.
He also can't exactly ditch them in a jackass way. They've pretty much been friends for 30 years in and out of kayfabe, so that's not happening. They just need to change characters.
face paint and jumping around a lot is so fun though. why all the hatin? is it cuz that's all of their character development their entire run in wwe? that along with the uuuuuus oooooooooh chants.
Why do people associate Roman with entitlement? This is why. Just being related to him gets the most boring tag team in the company associated with the main event picture
Lol yeah just have both of them wearing the Shield gear and do the old switcha-rooo on AJ. Cause honestly they could pass for triplets from a distance.
On topic though, yeah i agree they need to be kept away from the main event scene. It still baffles me those two boring fucks are in the main event picture.
Best thing would be if he turned heel and just destroyed these two guys like chumps. But we know full damn well that this whole tweener thing is just a rationalization Vince uses to provide a reason for why Roman's getting booed. He is never turning heel.
This is exactly why they're there. Loyalty to friends/family also helps explain why AJ and Roman will be able to have an intense blood feud rather than just, "Mah title! I'm better than you!"
Usos need to go to NXT and completely reinvent themselves, and learn to actually be any semblance of decent. And Roman needs to disown them until they do.
The Usos got good reactions until Vince turned them into the Cenas of the tag team division. The way they steamrolled over Rowan and Harper is fucking criminal, FFS.
After they reached to that point of superbooking and staleness, people started booing them, and even now that they're as far away from the top of the division and actually put over other people every now and then, they carry the stigma. Just like Roman Reigns carries the stigma now that he's somewhat booked better.
I feel a smidge sorry for Reigns regarding them. But given how he is wrecking everybody, a small sacrifice here is not much to ask. Roman is performing a valuable service by keeping those two lumps away from the tag division and titles.
I hate the Usos and agree with you that he needs stay away from them... BUT it makes sense in kayfabe because theyve had his back before and they can do some 3 v 3 for a month or two. I doubt this continues long term, so I wouldnt be too worried.
Plus, Roman beating up those 3 guys on his own would be bad because theyre faces and Aj is a likable face. They probably dont want to bury him.
Family is not a choice. Roman will bring BIG FIGHT, while Uso will spam more super kicks because it's the last thing they can do in the ring apparently.
Usos are great IMO. But more importantly, I like the dynamic they have. Reigns is super serious and they're like his little brothers all hype and stuff and nowhere near as good/strong, but they got his back. I'd like them to keep the relationship even when they have different alignments. It'd make them feel like actual characters rather than just face/heels.
