10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Jan 8)
5. Billy Graham Thinks Roman Reigns Needs A Manager
To their credit, WWE have made steps in the right direction with Roman Reigns recently. Throughout much of 2015, the promotion seemed determined to portray Reigns as the second coming of John Cena. His cartoon-like speeches during promos and generally giggly persona didn't help him whatsoever, and fans turned their back on the man. Latterly, that has been rectified by booking Reigns as much more of an anti-hero style of character. Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon and Triple H have all been acting as strong heels, which has made it easier for some fans to rally behind Roman. For some wrestling legends, it still hasn't been enough. 'Superstar' Billy Graham is one ex-performer who is very outspoken about WWE on social media. Posting on Facebook, Graham shared his belief that Reigns should turn heel and be handed a manager to do his talking for him. Lengthy promos have been an issue for Reigns, but would a manager be the answer? It's unlikely that WWE will turn the man rogue at this point.
