Roman really needs to freshen up his whole schtick. New gear. New music. Just be a smug prick. He's SO good at it. Even unintentionally sometimes I think. Like the interviews where he says things like "fans can't criticise me cos they don't know how to lock up".
It's a huge cliche but cocky suit wearing Roman would be incredible. When the crowd boos tell them to shut up and say they're just jealous of him. Jealous of his money. Jealous of his looks. Jealous of his success. I really think he would be so good at it and at the same time the babyfaces who tried to bring him down would get instant heavy support and he'd get fully booed without the bizarro land bullshit.

Well, he's not wrong, it would work. Why, with a matchup like that it'd guarantee that he'd be booed out of the building. Which definitely wouldn't be the case with any other opponent. Except for... No, yeah, that happens anyway. Why waste Bryan to get the exact same result? And yet commentary still wouldn't stop blowing him and acting as if he was the biggest star of all time. Cole: Because of this humiliating loss at the hands of THE BIG DOG, Bryan will now legally change his daughter’s name from Birdie, to Doggie in honor of the true leader of the Yes Movement! Graves: As he should Cole. As he should.

I wish Vince would just be honest and publicly admit he's just trying to get Roman to sleep with him.

I think the irony of this whole debacle is, as soon as he turns heel.. everyone will begin cheering him. The fact they haven't realised this just baffles me more than anything.

I suggest we even stop calling it "Lugered" at this point. We need to call it "Romaned" or something. Romanization. Romanticized

I don't see that happening immediately. (Well outside of a f***ing finally pop) Eventually yes, but heels don't automatically get cheered.

They should be a tag team, 'Over and Rover'
See? Big Dog? Rover?

A heel Roman against Bryan would be money.

I think it would work just as well if he turned by attacking Seth out of jealousy that Seth was able to beat Brock for the Universal Championship, and Roman never could.

I just find it sad that the only way to become a wrestling Good guy or gal you pretty much have to be an asshole 1st. And the really sad thing is that the only way to change your character in wrestling is to be an asshole heel. I mean when is the last time you had a good clean cut babyface that wasn't an idiot Batista 2005? I mean WTH is wrong with Vinny Mac

And if that’s what they wanted that’s what they should have done years ago.

Steve Austin on his podcast saying that Roman Reigns should turn heel "to have the biggest run": "I think everybody has their opinions. Like ice cream, everybody has their flavor, everybody has their opinion. It's Stone Cold Steve Austin. He definitely knows the area and the territory that I'm in. He knows what it's like to pull the trigger and be a workhorse. So I think there's definitely a lot of truth in what he has to say and I value his opinion. Is it going to happen? I can't guarantee that. It's one of those situations where you kind of got to take it week by week and just understand the role. I definitely think there is a lot of great truth to what he's thinking and his knowledge in the game. But Stone Cold is not my boss." www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0516/639955/roman-reigns-responds-to-steve-austin-saying-he-should-turn-heel/Just adding to this, if you're a listener of Steve Austin's podcast, you'll know he's been all about a Roman heel turn for a long time. This is Roman's response to Austin.

"It's one of those situations where you kind of got to take it week by week and just understand the role."
I don't think anyone in WWE has done this at all about the Roman situation for the past four years.

Reigns is saying that he knows Austin is telling the truth but due to Vince and hell his own, Roman's, stubbornness it's not happening.

Heel Roman - "There's a big fat guy with a neckbeard in the crowd holding up a sign saying Roman Sucks......oh I'm sorry, it's a woman......damn.....well I guess here in (name of city) it's kinda hard to tell the difference, right?"

I can see why there's a resistance to turning Roman heel. My guess is that WWE is trying to figure out a formula to get people to like someone without going through the cliche of someone's heelish actions making them cool.
Roman could have been a top face, but he isn't honestly ready. WWE made their choice based on a look without also looking at in ring ability and mic work. I don't blame them since there aren't a lot of guys with the size and good looks. As great as these Indy signings are in the ring, they don't really have a larger than life look that will catch the attention of casual viewers. I'd love it if someone could just be a top face without turning heel all the damn time. With someone as athletic and aesthatically pleasing as Jason failing to do so, I'm afraid that it won't be possible with all the cool fans in attendance. If they figure out how to turn a guy like Roman into the top face without making him a typical "I hate the people because they didn't appreciate me" heel, then you better believe notes will be taken.

Heel Roman - "You know I was thinking. Nikki and Brie are twins. Wouldn't it be awful if Daniel Bryan had a twin? I mean, could you imagine TWO of those shitheads existing?"
