9 Ups And 11 Downs From WrestleMania 32
7. Blandness Personified
Reigns however? Hes vanilla in a flack jacket. That doesnt make him a bad wrestler who should be booed, but it doesnt give the average fan a reason to cheer him. Sure, he has his supporters as many wrestlers do but Roman isnt exactly inspiring new fans to flock to him.
Witness the entrances Sunday night. WrestleMania entrances typically are super-elaborate and over-the-top. Guys like Ryder and Charlotte wore robes. New Day had a Booty-Os cereal prop. Shane McMahon made it rain. And Triple H had his typical over-the-top entrance.
But Reigns? He walked out, slammed his fist on the ground and fireworks went off. Its hard to describe, but its hard to pin down his persona. And maybe others see it right away and love him, and thats cool. But he just feels bland. And thats a shame, because this writer wants to really like him and not just be indifferent.
