Terrible idea, but it is pretty fun. They should definitely do something with the similar catchphrases. Probably a promo interrupt from Bo and a superman punch from Reigns.

Reigns has to be the most talked about wrestler in the scene right now. Interesting. If he starts dating Paige, we might well just rename the board after him.

His match on Smackdown was so boring. I don't think Roman Reigns has ever been colder.

WWE thinks we are sheep. They think The Rock standing next to Reigns is going to get him over? We all know Roman Reigns and The Rock are real life cousins....but what about this? Are we supposed to not remember this? Did this all of a sudden not happen according to WWE's revisionist history?

Stone Cold said that h doesn't think Reigns is ready. If I were Vince, id listen to Austin because he's a guy who wouldn't say something unless he truly believes it.

The moves Reigns does do, he does well. He just needs more. He will eventually improve on the mic, I'm all for new stars, but why does he have to be THE guy?

Legit question for everyone who isn't happy with Reigns. Whether because you just don't think he's ready, or because you just don't like him, at all...
If WWE openly said "Moving forward, we feel that there is room at the top for multiple guys in the company. Guys like Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose, Ziggler, Bryan, and Wyatt will be sharing the load. Reigns is an important piece of our new design, and we feel he has the look, and presence, to be the 'face' of the body that is the WWE brand. This is not to take away from any of our other talent, because our future is bright!"...
Would ANY tunes change, based on HOW Reigns is presented by the company? If they truly went the route they've teased, which is this stacked young talent card...and Reigns was simply acknowledged as just the face of the overall body moving forward, would you feel any differently?
Instead of being Superman? Instead of being forced down our throats? Being acknowledged as more 'on the level' with other superstars, within the company?
This isn't a question to incite more angry fighting. It's a legitimate question, presented in a mature way. Again, I'm a Reigns fan. I'm glad he won. But I DO understand certain issues people have. Never denied that. But MY issues are more with WWE, as a company, particularly creatively, more than the guy going out and earning his paycheck...so I ask your opinion. If WWE did their job properly, would your opinion be any different?

Granted a couple of them were god awful, but -- he's trying, at least. Gotta give him credit, for that. I'm sure he's tried every time he's been in that ring, but he's bland and needs more time. I'm all for him being up at the top, but oone can not simply go to the very very top with 1 tag title Reign and that being it. This is really why we need the WHC back. If McDonalds sold a burger and everyone hated it, would they keep selling it? And would they make it their #1 burger and put all of the popular burgers to the side? No, Vince is amazingly out of touch. And to people who say Bryan isn't believable? Let's compare the two then better wrestler? Bryan better talker? Bryan more experience? Bryan more accomplishments? Bryan more moves? more popular? Bryan more known? Bryan better to fans outside the ring? Bryan has a better 'wrestler look'? Reigns

If they do go through with this he needs to turn heel at or just after WM. Really only way I can see him carrying the belt at this point is to use the heat hes getting and run with it till he can learn some real mic skills.

My thoughts on Roman Reigns:
- I thought he was great in the shield, very believable and likeable for that type of wrestler. - hated the way the Royal Rumble was booked more than him winning it. - I don't think there should be THE guy. Cena and Hogan are really only rare cases and shouldn't influence the company in 2015. - he is under way too much pressure. I don't personally think he has shown anything close to what deserves to main event Wrestlemania, either inside or outside of the ring. High risk putting him against Lesnar with such little experience. - at the end I the day, I don't think many people are entertained enough by him to justify closing the biggest show of the year. He would have been much better suited to facing Rusev to challenge the streak.
Ultimately, I see him going the way of Sheamus. I see him being in the WWE for the foreseeable future in a role where he can challenge for the title whenever needed. Next Cena? Not a chance. Doesn't have the presence or charisma for it.

Personally though, my hate started the minute they gave him that Slammy. I don't see that fire dying any time soon.

I also think they should either separate the belts, or make one of the lesser titles more prevalent.
