I think the orange was a GREAT color for him,. Now, with the BIG DOG being added to the logo, it might be more distinguishable. The only other alternative I can see to the vest is what he wore in Hobbs and Shaw. Could keep the glove and wristband and add some details, but that look was great. Also, in other news: https://programminginsider.com/friday-ratings-abc-cbs-and-fox-share-modest-dominance/ Sasha and Bayley drew nearly half a million watchers on a holiday show. MOVING THE NEEDLE~!

Shit if ROMAN doesn't have an impressive body, there's no hope for a huge portion of the roster. But I dunno. The vest, at of 2020, is basically his logo. He has an emblem like Spiderman or Superman. It's like a super hero, and it's part of his appeal to the younger audience. I really wouldn't change it, even if he does have new tats now.

I believe that the issue wasn't having 4 WM main events in a row. If we dissect them it's clear that the worst part was how they came to be, as it got worse and worse for him each and every year. An unwinnable situation. 2015: after shooting themselves in the foot in that year's Rumble, eliminating Daniel Bryan halfway through the main event and getting Kane/Big Show to eliminate all the other darlings at the time, Roman gets booed to hell after eliminating Rusev. After a weak build, that involved insane great matches with and against DBryan, he has quite possibly one of the best WM main event matches ever. That was the moment for him to pull the upset victory, but they decided to give Rollins a shitty 8 month reign instead. Roman spent the rest of the year feuding with Big Show and Bray Wyatt, only getting some momentum after that Survivor Series fuck finish. That's right, bitches! He got two cash-ins in one year!!! 2016: as we mentioned, he had some things going for him after that Sheamo/VKM feud, and going into the Rumble things were fairly engaging! Maybe this is it!!! Oh wait he has to defend his title at the rumble? Why is he spending half the match getting stretchered out? Wait Triple H won? Fuck. Anyway, he got EMBARASSED by The Cerebral King of Kings Assassin Game in the build to WM, while Ambrose got time to shine. The match itself at Wrestlemania was the usual bullshit NWA style HHH demands to have, and it did Reigns no favors. The crowd reacted to the finish, and the title reign did lead to an awesome AJ feud, but Rollins again needed to have another title reign. Fuck that. Also, he got popped for adderall that year and had to put Finn Balor over in a way that I haven't seen since. 2017: fuck you Taker you botched that send-off match and Reigns took the brunt of the criticism because no one would dare to say 'yeah Taker has fucking sucked for a minute now'. Only reason that match went on last was because the crowd would be insufferable afterward. 2018: I don't know what to say about that shit. One day we will know why the dude got shoot elbows to the head and not even won the damn match. The final moments of that year's Mania was a defeated Roman consolating his family. tl;dr: WWE always got cold feet regarding Roman's push and he suffered way more than necessary for it.

Yeah, I hated it when they were going the Cena route with Roman. Fuckin' tater tots (which on the other hand the crowd got behind somehow) and beanstalks. Suffering succotash, son! From '16 on I just don't know how you can say he's boring or has no presence. The AJ feud should've been enough to silence those points, but then he went on to legitimize Braun as a star, and got Lashley a needed victory. Might be the most giving top star ever.

I mean, women's wrestling in 2020 is really fucking good and has been for a minute. No surprises here. Good for Joe. He's terrific at the role and sadly he was too broken down in the ring to keep it up. Also, Charlotte beating the shit out of Kairi probably infuriates me more than Nia being her unusual reckless self. I'll never get what the fuck Flair was thinking, and she really should've known better. Same with the top rope hurricanrana. Sasha landed on her tailbone as opposed to the usual flatback bump.

Good to see people calling him out on his bullshit.
