I see this all over the forums and cannot comprehend it so I had to make a thread about it. What is with all of these comments saying Roman Reigns is green on the mic and/or in the ring? What substantial evidence do you have to indicate that he is?
The guy has worked the majority of his matches in multi man matches and had his first real showing against Randy Orton, you know the guy you have to pretty much catch on a good day to have a great match with? How is this evident enough of Reigns' capability in the ring?
Mic work discussion is even more ridiculous around here. He isn't someone who is supposed to cut a 20 minute promo appealing to smarks. His character isn't defined as that. It's defined as someone who says simple things like punching someone in the jaw and backing that up.
We have no idea what is going to happen with Roman Reigns. He may succeed or he may fail. It doesn't matter whether anyone views him as ready or not. It's whether or not he is OVER and has the crowd behind him is what matters. John Cena or Batista weren't ready to take on the company, they learned by doing and that went pretty well for the both of them. They had the support of the fans and that's what it takes in professional wrestling.
It is just ridiculous to suggest that he is too green or needs help in the ring considering we have seen no indication of that at all. What because he hasn't wrestled an ironman match we judge him on his abilities? Because he doesn't have an indy following and is "WWE made" he seemingly doesn't know what he is doing in a wrestling ring? Or it could be that he has muscles and WWE has shown interest in him which triggers the internet's smark mechanism to find any possible flaw whether it exists or not to find a reason to hate him.
