I hate Roman Reigns because he is being pushed based on his look. It's the same old bullshit I've grown to hate. He is not actually good at his craft or even that insanely over

To be fair, Austin wasn't wrestling at 100%, considering Summerslam 97 when his neck got broken

Just saying number of moves isn't a good indicator, honestly.

Austin was a king of psychology, the most compelling promo, and had been successful in the business for 10 years though.

Have better mic skills, move sets, better workers, etc etc etc........... I'll be the first to say that I was a minority in saying that the one to do best once the Shield broke up was going to be Rollins when they first teased it. It's obvious now that Ambrose is going to go to the moon if they push him properly. Reigns always looked like a faster Diesel to me.

But Reigns is bigger! Bigger means better, right?

Roman Reigns was getting monster reactions when they decided to push him as a singles star. It's not hard to see why they would want to push someone who is crazy over. He still gets strong reactions and he hasn't had any massive stinker of a match on the big stage, so maybe you can get by with just a few moves?

Can someone explain the WWE app? Does it show the whole show, and if so, how does that get by the cable companies? If it doesn't, why should I have it?

I don't even think the moves are his problem as much as its his storytelling, selling and mic work but those can improve

Every now and then Cesaro will lose on it. Plus, you get to vote on who has the best hair and stuff.

i feel like people saying "he only does three moves" are referring solely to his comeback (like literally every wrestler) because he actually does like 10 or 12 over the course of a match. He really needs to work on his selling and expressions but he's still young and that stuff will come with time.

It shows what is going on during commercials and has other crappy "Second screen" stuff on it. It doesn't show the whole show, even the Network doesn't show RAW or Smackdown.

As for your last question, I have no answer.

Oh he will be, he's definitely got the whole package down - promos, energy, in-ring experience, everyone just LOVES the dude. It's awesome how he was able to keep the same sleazy, backhanded, give-no-fucks character and just smoothly transitioned from heel to face after the Rollins turn.

At least according to wikipedia, Ambrose is an inch taller, but Reigns has like 60 pounds on him.
