3. Get A Different Outfit

Why in the hell is wearing a flak jacket to the ring legal? The Big Bossman did it in the late '90s (as did his temporary tag partner Bull Buchanon, there's some fun wrestling trivia!), but for one, he was a heel, and second of all, he had the bodyguard/cop gimmick going for him. Roman is a regular dude who appears to dress up too much in his matches.

It basically makes him look like a coward. Every other wrestler on the roster goes out there sans flak jacket and take chairshots to the back when needed...without protection. Imagine if CM Punk showed up in his UFC fight in riot gear (which may have helped him last another 30 seconds). People would not be pleased with this.

Just go trunk shopping with The Hype Bros (or whoever) some weekend Roman, and quit dressing like a goof! We’ve already suffered through that with Cena for over a decade!

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
