Though I totally believe that is HHH and Vince's hope, I don't see Reigns as the equivalent of the Rock by a long stretch. Rock started out in a terrible gimmick, but once he was allowed to be creative, and to be himself really, he shined. Reigns started out in a great gimmick, and when given a chance to get on the mic and be creative, he stumbles. Or at least, doesn't impress or seem particularly special. And he's had, what, 3 years now to work on all that? He's got a look. That's not enough. The powers that be (Vince, HHH, Kevin Dunn, et al.) need to let that one go. In fairness to those guys, they did ultimately, begrudgingly give other guys who truly deserved it a shot, in Bryan and Rollins. But injuries happen to hard working guys who have been busting their asses for years. Now, though, if I were in their shoes, I would be pushing some other hard-working, charismatic types that the audience is salivating to get behind. Push Bray Wyatt. Or Dean Ambrose. Or Dolph Ziggler. Or even something unexpected with AJ Styles, who proved he can get an audience to hate his guts without even being able to verbally communicate very well. Not lame-ass Roman Reigns. He's like a modern day Warlord. Or at best, Don Muraco.
