NEWS: Forbes Weighs in on Roman Reigns
NEWS: Donald Woods of the world famous Forbes magazine recently published an article with his own gripes about Roman Reigns being marketed as the potential face of the WWE. Woods believes going with Reigns as the WWE's new face of the company would be a mistake and assessed why in the following:
"Winning the championship at Survivor Series—only to have it ripped away by The Authority backed Sheamus is almost identical to how the company booked the quintessential underdog Bryan at WrestleMania 30. With WWE trying to follow a similar pattern for Reigns, a portion of the WWE Universe is having trouble supporting a Superstar who is being positioned as the next Cena, while still being portrayed as Bryan. It’s hard to take Reigns serious as an underdog when he has a track record similar to the ultimate Superman, Cena. Since making his main roster debut in November 2012, Reigns has only lost 17 singles matches."
