Man people really did grow up with Roman Reigns 😭 he's been here for over 12 years. He's inching his 40s and by his age now, Cena was done with his super Cena phase and was doing US open challenges. So Roman may really be done with his full time run.

I still think wwe has an issue with Roman, and it was shown heavily when the rock came back. He overshadowed Roman in every way possible. Everyone wanted Cody v Rock, Roman became an after throught. Of course no one is on the level of the rock, I get that. But Roman is supposed to be the biggest star in the company.

Roman did his part in making the Bloodline story attractive enough to the point where The Rock wanted to be involved in it. It would've been a disservice on Roman's part to try to water down who The Rock is, and it would've only made himself look insecure. The Rock's charisma is second to none, so ofc he was going to "outshine" Roman. There is no Roman issue. It only appears that way to shortsighted smarks. Listen to the "we want Roman!" chants.

Great video. But, just one slight disagreement. About 2 minutes in you said it’s terrible to recreate other wrestlers in someone else’s image … LA Knight is super over and he’s a cross between the rock and stone cold. And chad gable is Kurt angle 2.0 and we have no problem with him, I think romans main problem early on is he simply had no charisma … or he wasn’t allowed to show it. He admitted on Logan Paul’s podcast he was super scripted early on (with some stupid lines … suffering succotash) and admitted it took a while for him to learn how to work the crowd

the persona of LA Knight has nothing to do with being a recreation of someone else's image. are there similarities? yes. does that mean it's a "recreation"? absolutely not. LA Knight was LA Knight even before the conception of "LA Knight" as a ring name. the character you see is the exact same character he's had in TNA for years prior.

Shield and Post Shield Roman phases are my favorite segments of his.

The Tribal Chief saved him indeed but I will always prefer the hounds and those first few months he had on his own

The obvious rocket push only ever worked with Hogan. It didn't work with Lex, Diesel, Rocky, Cena and Roman and they let a lot of home grown talent get squashed or lost in the shuffle because of it. Nothing will beat the natural push, like what we saw with The Rock and as still seeing with Cody. When Roman actually became a character, he got that crowd reaction and got crowd eating out of his hand. Slow burn beats rocket push every time.

Actually Simon, it's even worse than you made it sound; Saudi 2018 was actually a DRAW between Brock and Roman (even though Roman's feet hit first, they ignored that) to follow the LEGIT worst received Mania main event ever (Triple H in 2016 got cheered more than Brock did against Roman in 2018 giving it A match reaction, and fans in the venues at the time LOVED Hogan posing with the returning Warrior AND Hogan beating Yoko at Manias VIII and IX); Roman had to wait until SummerSlam in August to be Universal Champion, and THAT only went six minutes (after all THAT) and took in a HIAC main event that went to a no contest (the first of two in a row), before tragedy struck and ended it early (they put it STRAIGHT back on Brock at the next Saudi show)...

My opinion on the shield break up angle... If VKM really wanted Roman getting over, he should have booked it to be Roman who turned because we all knew he was really good in the ring, but that forced babyface shib was so weak, it killed it. If Roman turned, he'd have been reviled but over, then you put him through a character arc to transition him back to being a maybeface (stone cold or 2018-19 The Man type)

Simon, you're completely gaslighting the fact that Roman's turning point with the fans was when he finally returned from cancer treatment and aligned himself with Paul Heyman. And HHH did not create the Tribal Chief. In 2020 when his run began, Vince was still very much in charge.

@jeremyhegg9367

Yeah of the final four in that Rumble, it was three muscle bound guys who Vince favored (Batista, Reigns and Sheamus) and C.M. Punk, who without Daniel Bryan in that Rumble was the only one fans would really get behind. So naturally Punk got eliminated next by Kane interfering (and left the company). So fans then got behind Reigns by default because he was the least established of the remaining three (and the only one who hadn't won a Rumble match before) and thus the freshest option to create a new star at the time. But by the next year, they had put Reigns in that Batista role, eliminated Bryan early (which backfired massively) and treated Ambrose, Wyatt, Ziggler etc. as disposable garbage to put over a tired Kane and Big Show act to try to get Reigns over more.

I will admit, the Tribal Chief gimmick did wonders for him. Back from mid 2015 to 2019, I couldn't even stand to look at him, because I just felt like his very presence on TV was a stain on the shows. Once 2020 came around, I could finally look at him, I could finally stand to see him on screen, it made him all the more interesting and, the characterization was exactly what we were asking for and then some. Samoans in wrestling just work better as heels. Just a fact.

Heel or babyface...Roman was only Vince's favorite. He was never a good wrestler. He only got over as a heel due to Paul Heyman being his manager and the Bloodline. But 3 years as champion was too long for everyone. Nothing was changing. Consistent interferences in his matches to help him keep the titles. And he was barely showing up to defend his titles. Yet, the media and fans think he's one of the greatest wrestlers/ champions of all time. No, he isn't. He never did anything on his own. He never had to work his way up to being champion. If he wasn't related to The Rock and didn't have Paul Heyman as his manager. Dude would be just another mid carder

Simon, love your work but we don't agree on this even a little. The only things Roman has is the look and the legacy. No move set( superman punch and spear? Lame), no mic skills and no acting skills. The Usos', Paul Heyman and Sammy Zayn carried that whole storyline week in, week out. As a human there is no doubt Roman is 1 of the good guys, but as a WWE superstar he's mid card at best.
