Roman Reigns is obviously the next WWE star to be forced down our throats.
There has not been a more blatant push since Cena versions 1-10000000. They tried with Randy Orton, Sheamus, and so many more, but we embraced CM Punk and Daniel Bryan because we picked them over the above mentioned HHH favorites. I digress…
Vince McMahon has hand picked Roman Reigns and believes he is almost “over”, or accepted by most fans as a solid marketing tool. If so, why does 70 year old Vinny Mac need to come out and be a part of the angle? Why do so many other worthy superstars need to try so hard to get The Rock’s cousin to look good?
Mr. Tito of Lordsofpain.net put this list together and he nailed all of the chances Vince has given Reigns and all of the times we had to choke on the corniness he was shoveling to us. I started to compile this list, but Tito beat me to it.
– Only member of the Shield to defeat CM Punk.
– Runner-up in 2014 Royal Rumble
– Scored the final pinfalls in BOTH Evolution 6 man matches.
– After Shield break-up, Reigns was in back-to-back Pay Per View WWE Title matches.
– Scored clean win over Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2014.
– Returns from injury, wins 2014 Slammy Award for Superstar of the Year.
– Wins 2015 Royal Rumble.
– Pins Daniel Bryan cleanly at Fast Lane 2015.
– Originally booked to beat Brock Lesnar on his way out at Wrestlemania 31, but Lesnar’s re-signing changed the booking.
– Single handedly beat up the Wyatt Family by himself on repeat nights, pins Bray Wyatt cleanly at Hell in a Cell 2015 (good match, to his credit)
– Wins #1 Contendership Tournament to wrestle Seth Rollins at Survivor Series 2015 to reportedly win WWE Title.
– With Seth Rollins hurt, Roman Reigns wins WWE Title tournament through Survivor Series 2015.
– Single handedly beats up the League of Nations stable on repeat nights.
– Finishes TLC 2015 with more League of Nation beatdowns and then attacks Triple H.
– Vince McMahon returns after several years of not being on WWE television and oversees Roman Reigns winning the WWE Title on RAW.
– Vince McMahon is now repeating his “Austin vs. McMahon” playbook with Reigns and now puts the WWE Title on the line for Royal Rumble 2016.
There you have it. The ridiculous number of gifts Reigns has been given. Guys like Michaels, Hart, Austin, HHH, Taker, Bryan, Punk, Rock, and so many others clawed and scraped their way to the top. Their talent and charisma got them over with us, and not Vince’s force feeding.
Reigns is big, good looking, and has a wicked Superman punch. Other than that – it’s Cena version 100000000000000.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read. If you don’t like Reigns I understand but to say all the guys worked Hardee than Reigns is stupid. Typical Roman hater, please retire or stop writing BS. And if you think he’s doing a lot for Roman then wow he really did a lot for Austin. And he even gave CM Punk one of the longest Reigns since years and yet you complain about Reigns lol.
Stop the whining about this man already.
Just believe it or not but reigns is zero in front of lesnar or even rusev.. Or even seth rollins.. Or c m punk.. Only mcmahons are making him hero.. Its stratergy.. Even khali and rey mysterio was champions.. Haha haha
