"I'm gonna kick your ass" should have been the entirety of that promo. That really is all you need with Reigns. They have a certain face of the company type character, and they're trying to find the right guy to fill that role. They don't want their top face to be a guy who just says "I'm gonna kick your ass", they want him to ham it up and show everyone how clever he is for a few minutes, then get down to brass tacks like no one else. And he's gotta be sexy, in a way Vince McMahon is down with. He also can't ever help his friends. Oh, and you should win stuff by watching!

I don't mind Reigns at all, but he's like the living, walking version of the first Fast and the Furious movie.
(Okay, so that probably made no sense, but it was funny typing it so I'm rolling with it)

At least that was mostly just out of boredom and the fact I was there free anyway instead of actively hating it like I did Planet Terror.

Reigns: "Seth season!" Rollins: "Roman season!" Reigns: "Seth season!" Rollins: "Roman season!" Reigns: "Seth season!" Rollins: "Roman season!" Reigns: "Roman season!" Rollins: "Seth season!" Reigns: "Roman season!" Rollins: "Seth season!" Reigns: "Okay you win." *Reigns walks off* Rollins: "You got that right I win." *sees Lesnar standing there* Rollins: "Yipe!"

i thought it was ok. wink certainly added to it.
Reigns on his own without all those scripted lines is fun. he's charismatic in all those road promotions they did.

So Vince has just discovered that cool, new, hip TV show loony toons?
Wait until he discovers Hey Arnold! and has Reigns call people "football head".

I've been one of the ones calling Roman the future, and think he can still get there; but MAN are they putting him in positions that they shouldn't/forcing him to be something he's not.

I credit star making more to the actual stars, and the more intelligent people Vince once surrounded himself with. I think the "Vince McMahon = Genius" thing is largely a myth.

Roman Reigns shouldn't be cutting ANY promos.
Not because he's bad at them. But because he should simply ARRIVE. SUPERMAN PUNCH. LEAVE.
You don't need him to say what he's going to do. You just need him to get in there and wreck shit. I don't see what's so hard about that.
I feel like part of Reigns' appeal is in being the silent, mysterious bad ass. You can't have that with him when he's cutting promos.

Sheamus was a million times worse babyface than Reigns.

What if Roman Reigns feels he isn't ready to be a main eventer yet, so he's actually purposefully sabotaging himself by requesting dumb feuds, limiting himself in the ring, and intentionally cutting horrible promos?

Maybe that's just it. Vince respects his courage and ballsy decision to step aside and know his place so much, he's rewarding him with employment.

Stone Cold wanted a change in character from the ring master...and then in WWEs brilliant wisdom they came up with.
Fang McFrost Ice Dagger Auto Von Ruthless
If Roman wants to save himself...he better get to tellin Vince none of what he is being given now is working....but if he doesn't he is gonna be Fang McFrost sooner than later.
