GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

Is there any way back for reigns now? It seems fans are so against him that he has nothing to come back from. At least Cena had the charisma to use the boos to his advantage and get people back onside. All reigns has is the same tired superman gimmick over and over again where they book him so strong no matter what. They won't turn him heel because thst would make sense , instead in 3-4 years time he will still be getting booed out the building and making every heel a baby face who goes against him.

Turning him heel is the only answer here, without it he will end up at the point where he will kill every angle he is put into

Heel is the only answer. He was a good heel in NXT many many moons ago. But he's Vince's toy. So be it.

Owens carried him so so well in their title match. Mind you, AJ carried Cena too if we are being honest.

The best thing they could do is have him beat taker. Stay with me on this.

So they book taker reigns at mania. Everyone thinks taker will win, maybe he announces retirement for next mainia or something, then have reigns really best him. The fans would hate it and although it is in the same match frame as before, the fact he is doing it to taker really generates heat for him. Perhaps if you must have taker hells gate him out of nowhere to win but generally have him booked stronger.

Cut to raw. He come out and says he wants the title off whoever is champion at the time. Book a reigns promo where he is Mr superman again leading up to the ppv , then the raw before have him in a 2v1 situation, have someone make the save for him, they turn around into a superman punch. No explanation for it, just bang. Then the build up to the match at ppv is all about how he wants the title , he has the match and wrestles it as a heel, maybe pulls out weapons at one point but you don't want him to win, just generate heat. Build a turn so much that it doesn't shock you, but generally book him as the face still. Then over the weeks have him become more and more heel getting frustrated at not being champion that evenually he snaps and turns on everyone. If you normally book him superman, how about booking him general zod instead so to speak. Become a monster heel , and over the space of a few months you could have a massive heel born from the ashes of a face everyone booed.

That was a lot to read and I'm pretty sure it made no sense. Reigns is just Reigns. I don't hate him as much as others do, numb to him you'd call it. Vince is just being Vince with him.

Taker will vanish after mania again that's for sure.

Doesn't matter if they turn him or not, people will still not boo him for his character, they will boo him because he's boring to watch. Reigns makes me want to swap to another channel. That will never change.

I don't think he is that bad TBH, I just think he smacks people as being the next john cena. The superhero.

To be fair to John I have booed him for some time, but that rumble match was great vs AJ. I think the whole crowd gave both men a standing ovation. Cena's reaction of 'thank you' showed me that he finally understood that 5 moves and screaming down a mic doesn't cut it with the majority.

I agree. I don't mind Reigns. And when i've been to a couple of recent live events kids seem into him. Which is fine of course. He's a superhero to them.

I can understand people getting a bit bored though.

I'm torn at the end of that.... Loved the Pre-Rumble championship matches (wrestlemania will struggle to top that), Charlotte is different level... Glad to see them run with Owen as champion for Mania (Good showing by Reigns too to be fair to him)....Cena vs AJ was quality...

Now to the Rumble.....disappointing!..... For a match heavily built around Goldberg, Lesnar & Taker, the 3 spent barely any time in the damn thing (and Taker looked old AF).... Surely Lesnar and Goldberg could have entered earlier and earned their huge pay cheques....
Orton winning, Yawn! .... Clearly the 2 title matches at Mania are gonna be mid card affairs, with Lesnar vs Goldberg closing the show....

And NO surprise entrances, Wtf?....

Reigns isn't even close to Cena's level in my opinion. Cena has put on great matches for years (AJ, Punk and others), while Reigns relies on being carried through matches by better wrestlers (Triple H, Owens) and they still end up being horrible.

Summed up: Cena is a great performer with a horrible character, while Reigns is horrible all around.

Even the thought of the train wreck Reigns versus a broken Taker is going to turn into scares me, cuz Taker aren't going to carry anyone in his state.
