I hate that I have to keep saying this but Reigns is not a bad wrestler at all. He has a decent grasp of psychology, he can bump well, and he is full of confidence in the ring. He just does his few moves because every wrestler in wwe has 5 moves.

I didn't say he was a bad wrestler, I said he had a very limited moveset. He's a fine tag team powerhouse but I'm afraid that he'll be badly exposed in a 20 minute PPV singles match unless he spends the majority of that on the ground with Randy releasing the doves above him.

I don't disagree about everyone having 5 moves, I think he just needs a few more transitional things he's comfortable using aside from his signature spots. I don't think he's like far off from having a good Big Man Moveset, he's close.

We'll see tonight, with some decent time against Orton, maybe he'll show off a few more things.

I just think it's funny how people here act like Reigns is the most green mother fucker to ever get in a ring. People act like he has never delivered a move more advanced than a snapmare.

You guys are right though, he hasn't really had an extended singles match yet. So tonight will be his night to show us something from him.

I mean yeah he's not a technical master right now but it's not like this match is even in the top 3 most heavily advertised matches on the card. Giving him decent length PVP singles matches with good opponents to develop his ability is exactly what they should be doing with him regardless of future plans, so could we at least wait for the main event runs before we get all salty at that lazy fucker Roman and his overpushed Kevin Nash ability.

I'm actually intrigued about his Randy match; it's the first 1 on 1 match PPV match I've seen of Roman's so it's going to be a real showcase of how far he can go/what he needs to work on. I'd rather he were working with a more dynamic worker, but Randy's usually good yardstick on how far someone's come, so I'll hold off on poo-pooing it until I've seen the result.

Do you guys really not like Roman Reigns? I feel like Vince, I love that size and look. I honestly really do like Reigns though, I wish they would let him do a bit more. Ever since they came out with the Suberman punch for him it seems like all he gets to do is that and the spear.

I'm a fan.

the first world was a mistake

This won't be a popular opinion, but I would have liked to have seen Reigns vs Kane at the PPV. Have Reigns completely destroy him in 4 minutes while ripping his mask off and maybe busting out a submission finisher in the process.

I have faith that the Orton match will be good, but Randy's about the worst guy to be in the ring with if things don't go so well.

Reigns is a little green but not bad at all in the ring, but he really needs to find some kind of hook or character for his interviews because they're all really bland right now. He's coasting on charisma and the fact that he's over but the more he has to talk the less he'll be able to do that.

Reigns is cool and his poo poo looks good. I hope he keeps doing it but also does more cool stuff in the future as he continues to improve and develop

Hitting Miz is always a face move and always a good idea.

My favorite example of this was when we had three weeks in a row of

Stephanie: "Show, HIT HIM OR YOU'RE FIRED!"

Big Show: *Agonizes for six minutes, then finally reluctantly hits guy.*

we then got

Stephanie: "Show, HIT HIM OR Y-"

Big Show: *instantly KOs Miz*
