Which Newly Crowned THE GUY is Worse?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

On the surface this may seem like an unfair question since it's debatable if Roman Reigns will be THE GUY. However, I remember 2006. Hell, A LOT of people were thinking that come WM 22 Cena would job to HHH then be sent to OVW for repackaging since so many crowds hated the guy. So, I think it's a pretty fair comparison.

I have no idea what the last option means, so that's what I voted for

[berlynwright]

I saw Jeff and thought it's the slapnuts and voted for it.

The Jeff Beck/masturbation enthusiasts are running away with the vote! If only the presidential election could be like this!

Maybe years that end in 6 result in forced babyface pushes:

In 1996 we had stripping babyface Shawn Michaels.

In 1986 we had.....um.....didn't they try to push fuggin Honky Tonk Man as a babyface at first?

I fear 2026

... No one expected Cena to get sent back to OVW.

Also the fans were actually behind Cena in the origins for his mega-push.

Correct. Correcter. Correctest.

[The Mark of Mark]

In 2006, crowds weren't as fed up with Cena as they would eventually become. That's the difference between him and Reigns. Crowd's loved Cena initially, and whereas they aren't giving Reigns a chance.

Last year, you could make the arguement that Reigns was very green in terms of wrestling ability, but that has since improved so he can hold his own as a main eventer matchwise. When it comes to mic skills, he's about as exciting as watching your chia pet for an hour and he hasn't improved (of course the dumb things that creative had him say certainly doesn't help the situation).

I'd say thus far, Reigns is the worst because just because people got sick of Cena over time. That and Reigns' run still being fairly early, maybe he needs to just turn heel again or maybe get him a manager to do the talking for him.

Fixed that for ya.

Cena's rise was great. WWE just overused him when he got on top and he got boring fast. Reigns is not that good and his rise is awful and insulting. He will, at best, be a more athletic Kevin Nash in the grand echelon of pro-wrestling. Even when he was booked well, I really just have never seen Reigns as the absolute top mega star. His minor relation to The Rock is a placebo effect in judging his potential, to be honest, and it's hurt him severely.

The OVW part was hyperbole though I'm not the origin of that hyperbole and that was thrown around a bit. It was like people had this idea HHH would return Cena would job, then get pushed down the card some even thinking he'd get a full-on repackaged.

As for fans being behind Cena? Well, The Shield was pretty popular too

No comparison is going to be identical otherwise there would be no reason for polls. Other than me to make Jeff Beck and/or masturbation references.

Totally that. 2007 to early 2011 was one of the worst periods in wrestling.

I can't vote for Roman since he hasn't really beaten people of much significance yet and honestly when things get too rough because they'll cut the cord since he will not handle it the way Cena could.

Cena's run has been abysmal for about 80% of the last 11 years. He's a talented guy, but he just didn't speak up when he should have over the years and allowed to just lazily allow his character to be as dull as possible...just a generic routine, which is a shame since if you go back to 2003, I was his biggest advocate. Once we got about 4 months into his first super run, I absolutely hated him and couldn't believe they didn't try to fix ANYTHING.

In the begining , Cena had a TON of support & he was very over . Same cannot be said for Roman
