The intention of this post isn't to be mean spirited. When I tell Roman Reigns to shut up, I actually mean it in the nicest way possible. Wrestling fans seem to love to critique the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion to no end. Many of these same fans were marking out for Roman when he was in the Shield.

I've thought about what's different now, other than the obvious he's no longer affiliated with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Roman's skill set has changed. Superman Punch and the spear are his two big go to moves still. The difference now is he's talking. If the WWE Creative Team isn't going to turn him heel (and I don't think they have to) then they should return to Roman's roots and make him the strong, silent type.
Many will argue you can't have success in wrestling or sports entertainment if you can't talk. I don't believe that. Leave the talking to those who can do it. Make Roman Reigns a destructive ass kicker who doesn't speak or is just a man of few words. When he cuts a promo these days there's little emotion involved. He's repeating lines someone has written for him. That works for some people, but not everyone. Fans pick up on this and that's part of the reason he gets booed.

While he's trying out this new style, work with him behind the scenes on promos. You can't teach charisma, but you can teach someone how to fake it long enough to get a point across. He's from the same bloodline as one of the greatest talkers of all time, so let the Rock work him. And please, stop trying to make him the second coming of the Rock or John Cena. Let Roman be Roman.
