12 Perfect Ways To Retire Current WWE Gimmicks (And How)

4. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is a bad dude from the bad side of town with a heart of gold. Instead, he's a flak jacket wearing superhero. If the WWE Universe is divided on John Cena as a superhero in gym clothes, why would anyone in WWE think that Roman standing there in a flak jacket with what's basically a Superman breastplate was going to work any better? Roman walking down the aisle one week without the flak jacket but in cargo pants and jackboots? That's an idea worthy of consideration. But this superhero s**t has to stop. Immediately. It's lame and I'd wager that very few WWE fans believe that it's a "cool" look or gimmick for him.
