New Generation Star That Would Have Great Matches With Roman

[The Rick Jericho]

Watch some new generation stuff, I'd you were to match up Roman Reigns with stars from that era who would have the best and fun matches with him?

Bret and Shawn

Easily this. (Fun fact: he's gone on record as saying that Hart was one of his favorites growing up.)

I would also add Owen Hart and Razor Ramon.

Definitely. Looking at that 1996 roster that had so many workrate guys and so many different in ring styles. Power. Speed. Agility. Monster. Technical.

Makes todays roster feel cookie cutter.

I dunno, but I want to see Roman and Ahmed cut a promo on each other.

That's a good power matchup I must say. 1996 Ahmed was still healthy and putting on good matches. Roman vs. Ahmed for the IC title when it mattered would be a good one.

[Pooh Carlson]

Roman and Vader would be comparable to Roman and Braun, and those have generally been enjoyable matches to me.

Bret and Roman could've been sweet. Bret got that really stellar match out of Diesel, and Roman is like a much more mobile version of Diesel, so I could see that being a great match.

1-2-3 Kid vs. Roman might also be a good one.

[thegame415]

A Diesel match would be good with Kev as a heel.

[BD Punk AKA SUSPENDED!]

HBK, Bret, Owen and Vader in that order

[DASH 243✅]

30 year old taker would be way better then the 50 year old taker match we got.

Ahmed: "DON'T TAKE MY MEDICATIONS, MORTY"
Roman: *hides Adderall*

Shawn, Bret, Owen, Vader and probably Razor. I don't think that Roman would have worked well with Mankind

[The Rick Jericho]

That Marc Mero vote was random until I thought about it.

In his 1996 prime he would fly all over the ring and put over Roman pretty well like he put over Austin at King of the Ring.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Owen would make Reigns look like a million bucks, AND probably make him actually likeable by being super hateable by comparison.

[Mozenrath]

Bret Hart would probably have a hell of a match with Roman. I honestly usually preferred Bret's matches with guys like him versus his matches with Shawn, which are good, don't get me wrong, but not Bret at his most interesting to me.

Owen, Mankind, Vader, Shawn, 1-2-3 Kid, those would be fun. Not sure how he and Razor would mesh, and Diesel, probably not a good match up.

Yokozuna would be interesting. Obviously, they wouldn't acknowledge them being related, but I often find matches between relatives having dynamics you don't see so much without the personal connection.

[Fundertaker]

I'm not the only one that read "new Generation Star... Matches with Roman Reigns" and thought Reigns vs Riker, right?

Hakushi. The answer is always Hakushi.

I totally forgot about Owen in terms of egging on the crowd. He would help him get his wrestling down. He would egg on the crowd. And he would probably throw a rib or two in during the match. Something like related to rotten eggs me thinks.
