OSJ Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is there any room for some position between "Roman is the next Rock" and "Roman is ass" in this discussion? Of course not, this is the Internetz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is there any room for some position between "Roman is the next Rock" and "Roman is ass" in this discussion?Yeah really. I think he's great at what he's currently doing. I think in time he'll be a consistently good singles performer. I just find OSJ's claim that he's had "too many good singles matches to list" to be absurd. The guy has had what, maybe a dozen singles matches on tv since being called up? He didn't exactly suck in FCW/NXT if you were watching. But you still can't list even one match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 When did he fight Bryan? I do not remember that and would like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Even if Reigns is terrible, I can't imagine him not improving significantly after working with WWE main event talent night in and night out. Cena wasn't exactly a superworker when he first won the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraylo187 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I don't understand this 'Roman hasn't had a massive singles career so he eats ass' logic. The dude is awesome. The progress he's made traveling with Rollins and Ambrose has been bad ass to watch. Is he ready for his huge singles push? No. That's why the Shield is still together. But watching this charismatic bad ass grow and digivolve from green as hell into Babygurl Rock-Meng is part of why it's so much fun to love the dude. We're ground floor on the next big thing. So, he's like a Samoan Rick Rude, while Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are his Manny Fernandez? He's like if Samoan Rick Rude absorbed Umaga's beserker power from a dragon wall in Skyrim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the interest of fair play, how about his three-way dance with Rollins and Ambrose? How about his match with CJ Parker? How about his recent work?

Execproducer Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Is there any room for some position between "Roman is the next Rock" and "Roman is ass" in this discussion? I like some of his spots and the fact that they are growing at a decent clip is a good sign, but I'm already deeply annoyed by the video game set-up for the Superman Punch, much like HBK's super kick. And I haven't seen any of his single matches that I ever need to see again. He undoubtedly has potential, but they have a big roster full of dudes who had potential. The Rock comparisons are just embarrassing. Until it is actually achieved, potential is just a figment of everybody's fucking imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It's a logical prediction. It's about connecting the dots. Roman Reigns is going to be a HUGE star. All you need to know is this--ask almost any woman with working eyes. He's tall, athletic, articulate, and good looking. Plus, he's on the TV every week, making him accessible. He's going to bring in the casual female audience. He has mainstream appeal. No way does HHH and Stephanie leave potential piles of cash on the table where Reigns is concerned. He'd have to completely crash and burn for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3-way gives all three participants a chance to highlight what they can do. A Battle Royal is generally a clusterfuck where no one is able to stand out. Though, that said, Reigns has done perfectly well in that scenario too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, for me, I would say that anything above a fatal 4-way enters in to Battle Royal territory. Actually, I'm not that much of a fan of 4-way matches but do love me some good 3-way battles.
