10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Roman Reigns

10. Sufferin’ Succotash, Son!

Consider this the ultimate starting point for Roman Reigns-inspired misery.

Fans have gone back and forth on the need for scripting when it comes to promos, but the 9 January 2015 episode of SmackDown was a prime example of why it shouldn't happen. Roman turned to Seth Rollins and said the following: "You are a snivelling little suck-up sell out full of sufferin' succotash, son!".

Yeah, it was bad. Then, just when people tried to digest the first round of silliness, Reigns turned to the cameras, winked and added, "That was not easy to say". Even the most laid back of fans probably wanted to slap him across his handsome face when Roman flashed that wink. It was one of the crappiest babyface moments ever.

Reigns had some other stinkers. His "tater tots" chat about Sheamus' balls, and his whole Jack & The Beanstalk stuff when feuding with Big Show would rank right up there, but nothing beats the "sufferin' succotash" rubbish.

What were they thinking?!
