Roman Reigns needs more of a hook, more story to get people invested. There needs to be an issue between Brock/Reigns to get people invested, and there just isn't/ That goes beyond Reigns, they also haven't handled Brock's reign correctly. The entire running angle since Summerslam should have been everybody up in arms that the title is on a part-time primma donna who shows up when he feels like it. The title is being held hostage sort of feeling. Instead they ignored lesnar, made believe that neither he nor the title even existed for months at a time, and of course as a result he has completely cooled and nobody is clamoring to see him beaten. In fact the work they have done the past few weeks has made him look like a bad-ass monster face, if anything.Fly Academichttp://www.flyacademic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-33699800215551562912015-03-20T13:28:49.737-06:002015-03-20T13:28:49.737-06:00Regal on NXT is the perfect example of what an &qu...Regal on NXT is the perfect example of what an "authority figure" should be these days.

Tony Soprano was one of the most horrible characters ever created and millions of people watched "The Sopranos" every week because he was so awesome. There's real complexity to Kevin Owens -- he's a guy that acts without a conscience because he puts his family first. He explained that for 12 years he had to put them second to chase his dream and now everything he does, he does for them.<br /><br /><br />People aren't rooting for Kevin Owens; they're rooting for an awesome story.dynamic_davenoreply@blogger.com
