nnnggghhhh Reigns is so dullllll I can see how people who care about intensity and aggressiveness and stuff would dig him. But unless that factors in to why you like wrestlers, then there is absolutely nothing about him to like. (okay, he is pretty easy on the eyes. but nothing else.) You just listed a bunch of valid reasons to like him, and then said there's nothing to like.

I'm left cold by Intensity, and so I couldn't care less about the dude, since he seems to bring nothing else to the table.

Young golden boy? We haven't had that since Cena and Batista right? At least not them going full tilt with it, no. If Roman has the promo chops and he has definite presence and raw skills he can get there with the right program. Ambrose and Rollins kicking him out of the shield leading to a triple threat at wrestlemania xxx for the us title would be awesome

Would you say Gunner is ready to be the face of the WWE?

I think all three of them should be top guys but Reigns definitely deserves to be first I think all three of them are going to have great futures. Reigns is going to be the face of the company, Ambrose is going to be the top heel, and Rollins will be like Jericho, a few WWE/World Title runs, a main eventer and a guy the WWE knows they can count on. About Reigns, the guy has improved massively in the ring, he's decent on the mic, has good reactions, has charisma and presence, and does a lot of the small things right. The trash talking in the ring, the ducking the Disaster Kick without looking back, the roar (when he turns face that can be huge for him) and the death glare at Ambrose, are all small things he does perfectly. He's a natural, the guy hasn't been wrestling long, and he looks like he belongs at the top. Hell, Reigns was the guy damn near everyone thought would get left behind while Ambrose and Rollins rose.

Just have The Rock put him over by saying this guy is his cousin, and tell him that he can do better without The Shield or The Authority.

Would you say Gunner is ready to be the face of the WWE? gunner has neither the in-ring presence, skill, or the look of Reigns Reigns looks like a savage who is out for blood Just let him use a powerbomb finisher and he will be set Oeople love spears and powerbombs

I wouldn't pull the trigger on the Reigns thing until the summer of next year. Wrestlemania is in like 5 months, I'm not sure they will be able to turn Reigns face and push him to the moon in such a short time span. Didn't they start the Batista turn late summer/early fall before he main evented that WM?

While I like Roman enough, I think I need to see Roman carry a feud by himself and have some good quality single matches before I crown him the new golden boy. I assume the WWE will give him shot after shot next year to solidify himself as the future. He will just need his own Orton/Foley match where he gets put over huge and looks like a superstar. I think that Roman has a great future ahead, but I don't like WWE's M.O. of deciding, ahead of time, that guy's are GOING to be the next big thing. It never usually works out that way. Most of their top acts got over, often, in spite of what WWE pictured for them. I wish WWE would just book him well, and let the fans decide if they want him on top. I agree to an extent, but I feel if the WWE really feels a guy can be a superstar, then long term booking his rise to the top has it's benefits. For Cena for example it worked brilliantly. I have no source on this but it's safe to say the WWE had big future plan for Cena in the Fall of 2003 when they turned him face. Then the WWE had Cena work babyface in the mid card for 2004 in different type of scenarios to prep him for the future e.x carrying green shit like Dupree and Kenzo in single matches, working with veterans like Bookah T and his first hero overcome the odds story with the son of God stabbing him in a club and Cena no selling it and coming back. Then they set up Bradshaw to have the long reign soley so Cena can vanquish the rich racist for his star making moment. So with a rough estimate you can say the WWE book Cena's rise to stardom from the night Brock took his balls to the NFL to when He faced and beat Bradshaw at mania. Of course many things could have gone wrong in this plan like Cena stopped giving a sh** and getting himself injured, or Vince souring on his act or Cena somehow losing his overness but in this scenario long term booking was an absolute success. Of course using Orton as an example gets messy since they had a long term plan for him but HHH f**** up it up. After his legendary match with Foley at backlash it was obvious Orton was the next Rock/Stone Cold so they kinda long term booked Orton but Hunter's ego got in the way and Orton's babyface rise to stardom got destroyed. I'm not saying that maybe spontaneously deciding that somebody is super over lets give them the push to the top brother is always a bad thing (See CM PUNK/Batista kinda/Bryan) it's just I have more confidence with the writing team and Vince having a long term booking strategy in place to make some one a super star, than booking one on the fly. Booking on the fly got us Hunter vs Nash in a ladder match and no one wants that.

Vince loves mic men. If you're not good on the mic, you will never be the face of WWE. I think it's a bit premature to say Roman Reigns, a guy who's probably spoke less than 50 words since he debuted a year ago, the new face of the WWE.

That's 90% of the job right there! hahaha!
