Saying that WWE is poorly booking the Rock/Foley-like 1a/1b face roles is fair enough, but it never stops amazing me that people will point out that people like Ambrose and Styles lose too often, and then suggest that the top face in the company should take more clean pins.

e) idk if this is a controversial statement but i think everyone knowing the outcome of a match beforehand matters much less than people think. if you listed the 100 best matches ever (please don't do this) or whatever, i'd wager that like 80% of them, everyone pretty much knew the outcome going in.

Charisma is defined as looking as much like Sid as possible.

Roman's charisma is kind of strange because if I like, try to look at it "objectively", even putting his matches on mute and all that, I think he's actually really good at showing fire when doing a comeback, at using his facials when selling, and his ring presence in general. Like, better than most of the babyface side of the roster at those things, even. It's just that the crowd does not want to buy that poo poo at all.

Roman's look of hope when he finally managed to actually hurt Brock after getting tiny glancing blows that caused little wounds all match was my favorite moment of Roman's career, and words cannot say describe how sad I am that that moment meant absolutely nothing.

roman stuck his tongue out when he hit that powerbomb on AJ and you cant teach that

Roman is a guy who should, by all rights, be a bland midcarder who eventually ends up in TNA except he is related to the Rock so they are trying to capture that lighting in a bottle again.

Racist.

I think you'd just need to drop him down to the upper midcard for awhile. He actually started rehabbing his image a bit when they did this after WM31. Let him keep putting on great matches with some of the top tier wrestlers there like KO, give him more practice time on the mic where he doesn't have to carry a long segment to open RAW, have him tweak his character some and find something that lets him be more natural.

he was basically in the upper midcard having very good matches for most of 2015 (between Mania and the poo poo with Sheamus). why would it work this time?

I checked and I'm pretty sure that Roman Reigns is a somewhat better worker than Mark Henry in the 90s

Lmao Roman has been absolutely putting in the effort in main events for like a year now despite everyone in the building booing him, something which virtually any babyface in the 80s would face by scowling, putting on a lovely match, and storming off, and yet he needs a "work ethic". More racism imo.

Fact is that smarks always turn on non-white wrestlers. Rey Mysterio was the greatest worker of his generation and he got mercilessly mocked for "always having the same match", a "lame" babyface act, and the 619, while much poorer wrestlers like Edge coasted by. Booed out of the building after decades of great work in favor of the (white) Daniel Bryan. It's a total disgrace.

Everyone loves a few bad wrestlers. Even Big Dave Meltzer himself is a big mark for Edge.

IMO the received wisdom that Roman would be much better as a straight heel isn't wrong, but his current tweener face role isn't bad at all and the Styles feud was great.
