Why The Guy?
By Scott Keith on 2 November 2014
Scott,
With Roman Reigns' grand coronation just around the corner,and with everyone shitting all over it months in advance,it got me thinking….1. Why exactly is he THE guy? I get it that he's got the look,the heritage,the HHH factor…..is it that simple and shallow? There's no ratings,natural pops or great moments to back it up though.2. Do you think they should have turned him in the Summer instead of Rollins? You can then have him as the Authority's henchman who ultimately rebels and wins grassroots support a la Batista in 2004/2005. You also avoid fan burnout that way.3. Do you think the Reigns-Brock match will be a trainwreck?
1. It's just WWE circular logic. They decided in advance that he's the guy, so he gets protection and the push to justify it. And yeah, sometimes it's that simple and shallow.
2. Yeah, I think that's what most people were expecting, in fact.
3. It'll be interesting, that's for sure.
