One of THE classic gimmicks in wrestling is that Samoan wrestlers have hard heads, so they pop up unhurt after taking DDT's, and headbutts from Samoans are like taking chair shots.
It's been years since this has been seen on WWE, so is it time to bring it back? Have Roman Reigns impervious to head attacks, bouncing up unscathed from DDT's? Or is the gimmick a relic of the past?

Couldn't work now for the current product. It's also just a strange gimmick to have anyway. |

In Pro Wrestling lore, Samoans, black guys and retards somehow can't be hurt to the head. Which just leads credence to my theory that if The Rock ever suffered some sort of brain damage, he'd be indestructible!

Roman doesn't follow most of the Samoan wrestler tropes. He's good looking and jacked. If it wasn't for his tribal band, few would guessed he's Samoan yet only related to the famous Anoa'i family.

He should make a headbutt a part of his moveset but that's about it.

He already does the headbutt, if I recall correctly.

I'm still miffed that Rock never got it.

Give him the ol' Goldust Electrocution Special? |

Well, based on some of the insane shit he comes up with for promos and the fact that he survived getting hit with a semi while in an ambulance I'd say your theory has merit on all counts. |

I'm curious how that would mesh with his current gimmick of being some sort of ninja who can and will spear you if you turn your head for more than two seconds, no matter where you are standing in relation to him.

I like the "don't headbutt a Samoan" rule, but other than that it gets ridiculous.
It used to drive me crazy when Hawk would no-sell piledrivers, and it seems like that's what you're proposing. No thank you.
