SUBJECT: ROMAN REIGNS

*drools*

1) LOOKS

Unf.

Let's just start out by saying that Roman Reigns is one GOOD LOOKING mofo.

I think that chick from Tough Enough said it best-Roman is just...DAYUM!

xD

By far, Roman's got one of the most unique looks. He's got the tribal tattoo's like his cousin's Jimmy and Jay and the past Samoan wrestlers from his family. Unlike on the Usos, Roman's tattoo on him gives him edge. It makes him look a little more rugged and dangerous. I think it added to the "Muscle" vibe he had in the Shield, and also the sort of Lone Wolf Persona he had going for a bit. That tat symbolizes his family and in many ways, it sometimes feels like that will be the story of Reings. "Don't trust anyone unless it's family" or despite how many times I fail, I have my family type of deal.

His gear is A++ and no one looks similar to him, which is always a good thing.

His long Fabio locks are tame and his eyes, *swoon*

I wish he'd just keep his eyes the natural color they are, rather than use contacts but I must admit that the color contacts make him look a little more interesting.

2) WRESTLING

For a dude who was thrown into a stable with two really well seasoned men (Ambrose + Rollins) Roman held his own. It's impressive that he's only been wrestling for a handful of years, and yet he's up their rolling and keeping up with the big dogs.

Here's a dude who really does his homework, studies, and soaks up everything he sees.

He probably trains hard too and doesn't boast about it. Although, he doesn't need to because whatever he's doing on his own time, it shows in the ring.

Compared to the Roman who got boo'd at the Royal Rumble last year and this present-day Roman, a lot has improved.

His arsenal could still use more moves, but the ones that he uses frequently are A++ now. His Superman punch may be repetitive, but it never looks sloppy.

The hype he builds up with the Spear and that yelling he does reminds me of our lovely Edge crouched up by a corner with a crazed expression. It's awesome to watch and it really pulls you in to cheer.

Roman's one of the few bigger, muscley dudes who's quite fluid and with his strength, I can't wait till he starts pulling off more supplexes and powerbombs!

3) GIMMICK

In the Shield, Roman was the quiet one who used his actions to speaks rather than well, form words.

xD

Dean and Seth did most of the talking, and that was honestly ok with me cause then we'd get to be like "oh roman's tame" but then you'd see him in the ring and he's savage af.

After the Shield, I think Roman's character really took off.

When the Shield broke up, Seth became a traitor, building him an awesome spoiled brat persona, Dean was more unstable and crazy then ever, and then Roman was kinda eeeeeh floating around there.

It wasn't until Roman was paired up with Dean that magic happened.

The Ambreigns bromance brought on a different side to Roman. We got to see a dude who'll literally take a bullet for his best mate, and also considers his best mate family which makes us all melt cause that's fucking sweet as hell, considering Ambroses's lack of family situation.

Then there was Bray bringing out the caring father side to Roman. With Bray bringing Jojo, Roman's daughter into the conflict, we got to see a distraught father who just wants to protect his baby girl and that's always so engaging to watch.

That match Roman had with Bray two weeks ago now was INTENSE AF.

It was so good and *gasp* hardcore that it felt like it was from the Attitude Era, especially with Bray hitting Reigns with another dude xD

I will link the video for that up below!

4) MIC SKILLS

Admittedly, Roman on the mic used to make me cringe, and to this day there are moments when I'm still a little iffy on his delivery, but he is getting better.

I find that Roman does best when he's either next to Dean on the mic, or talking to Bray.

Cause that Suzie G cancer colmen thing was cringy to watch. He just looked like he didn't know what to say and his eyes looked like they were gonna blank up any second.

In exception to that, I love listening to Roman on the mic when he's angry because like Paige, when he's pissed the real angst pours out of him.

I think that years down the road, Roman will be a top contender in the mic.

Afterall, the most electrifying man in the WWE is his cousin and the Rock's gotta have some pointers for him.

5) OFF-RING PERSONA

Roman Reigns outside of the ring looks like a really laid-back cool dude. He calls his female fans baby girls and dolls and darlings and shit that makes you wanna melt and fan girl about. He's actually quite a funny dude, go watch his interview on Conan if you haven't already.

Then there's Daddy Reigns.

Oh lord.

His interview with Corey Graves on Superstar Ink made me tear up a bit when he talked about the small turtle tattoo he has, representing his daughter Jojo. When he talks about her his eyes light up and you can just tell he loves his daughter so much. Then in his Road to Wrestlemania documentary thing, the first thing he does is hug his child and even break apart from the rest of his family just to spend a little bit of time with her alone. His wife then joins then and he just holds them so close to him as if he were terrified he wouldn't make it out or something.

Roman Reigns looks like a genuinely nice dude and all the IWC haters can kiss his ass.

6) THE FINAL VERDICT

At the pace he's improving, Roman Reigns will without a doubt embark to be the next John Cena. I don't mind this because unlike Cena, I actually really like Roman. I was never too fond of Cena, but Roman, I'm on board.

With a new moveset and more years of experience, I think Roman will nail the talking and also, he seems to speak so well on interviews that I can only think he's not totally on board with what they make him say. Maybe if they let him contribute to his character's dialogue would he be more comfortable to nail his lines.

I like a mean Roman Reigns, but I really hope they don't make him turn his back on Dean cause that would kill me.

ALTHOUGH,

A Dean vs Reigns rivalry doesn't sound so bad.

I mean look at HBK vs Triple H or Christian vs Edge.

I wish Roman nothing but the best and whether he's set back or propelled, I'll always (to an extent) root for him cause that dude always comes off as grateful and humble af. 

I can predict he'll be shoved down our throats, and I'll probably say some nasty things regarding his booking, but never him.
