10 Wrestling Promos WWE Regret
2. Roman Reigns Reads Jack & The Beanstalk
Roman Reigns cut two career-destroying promos in the same month of January 2015.
'Sufferin' succotash' was worse, and was so bad that it's quite hard to watch again, so let's go with the one where he told a f*cking fairytale.
The Big Show on January 12 cut a tedious heat promo in which he said the "unemployed" crowd were losers for supporting Roman Reigns, a loser, and was he wrong? Roman Reigns told the crowd fairytales.
He had a dig at Show's age, saying he was about 12 when he watched The Giant beat Hulk Hogan for the WCW Title. It was a great story, and it reminded him of another story involving a giant: Jack & the Beanstalk, the plot of which is definitely something a real human being and aspirational badass combat athlete would definitely recite. "Do you want me to tell you the story, Big Show?" he asked in the most insufferable WWE babyface cadence.
But the boy in the story was named Roman Reigns, not Jack!
Roman had magic beans, with which he grew a beanstalk, and he climbed up it to kick the Big Show's teeth down his throat, as Vince McMahon reverted to childhood stories to tell his own which, medically, is a troubling sign.
Yeah Roman was knackered after this.
