From an in-ring perspective? Character perspective? His position in the company? Overall?
When you think of Roman Reigns, do you think he's underrated?

Dude is MASSIVELY underrated in the ring. He's not going to carry a mediocre wrestler to a good match, but if you give him an opponent who can carry their end of things, he puts on a damn good match. He's very much like Randy Orton in that regard. Give him opponents like Styles, Cesaro, Owens, Rollins, Bryan, Rusev, etc. and you always get a great match.

By the company? Not at all.
By fans? Absolutely, in terms of in-ring and character work.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Yeah. I've thought so since he managed to pull a great match out of 2014 Big Show

I think there's something a bit silly about calling one of the most pushed wrestlers on the planet underrated, to be honest.

Yea, I would say this As much as people complain about Reigns and his push, he will bring it in the ring and his improvement from when he started with The Shield until now is leaps and bounds. You bring up the Orton comparison and I think the biggest difference there is that he doesn't go through the motions as much as Randy. You put him with excellent workers like AJ, Rollins, Cesaro you are getting a damn good match and even when you put him against "decent" workers like Lesnar (current incarnation) or Braun (still green) those matches still are very entertaining

He kinda like Sting. An solid hand but with the right opponents, you'll get a great match.

He legit only does 5 moves, tops. So? Austin at his most popular was all kicks punches and a Stunner. Sometimes less is more. It doesn't fit Roman as a character to wrestle like Kenny Omega.

If you're simply going to talk about "number of moves" as if that's what makes a good in-ring performer then you should compare.

As a wrassler? Yeah. He's alright in the ring. Mic skills?..They've massively improved the last year. I think they've stopped scripting him and told him "Say something to the effect of this.." as a character? Nah. Overrated.

He legit only does 5 moves, tops. Spear Superman Punch Samoan Drop Crucifix Powerbomb Tilt-A-Whirl Slam School Boy Powerbomb Drive-By Kick Big Boot Leaping Clothesline Backdrop Uranage Corner Clotheslines And that's just the stuff I can think of from the top of my head. His moveset isn't actually that limited at all.

He's underrated in that his reputation overshadows anything he does well. He'll always be the guy shoved down our throats and there are likely those who give in to blind hatred

In some regards with his character work I'd say, and when he has decent material that he can sink his teeth into he's a better speaker than he's given credit for. Plus when he has something to work with he's damn good at delivering a beatdown.
That said I have absolutely no clue what people see in his in-ring work. The guy's matches just bore the everloving shit out of me. Granted a major part of that is that they're all structured exactly the same and always ended in the most supposedly out of nowhere but completely obvious spear in the world, so it tends to kill any investment I may have had regardless of the actual quality getting there.
