Looking at all of the other wrestlers who were given the top spot before John Cena, their track records are littered with just as much success as failures. Bruno Samartino, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock became household names of their generation. Roman Reigns is athletic, has a great look, is constantly improving, and is the product of a wrestling family. The company is behind him and he seems to be coachable. If everything works out as planned, Reigns time as the top guy could put him in that pantheon of the all-time greats. Remember, the knock on him isnt that hes a bad worker, its that hes just not ready...yet.
