During a recent edition of Eric Bischoff’s “Bischoff On Wrestling” podcast, the former WCW President stated that he is not a fan of how Roman Reigns is in this “gray area”. He says that WWE needs to figure out what he is (heel/face) and just run with it.
Take a look at what Bischoff had to say:
Bischoff: “It’s hard to say because of the way he’s being booked and the way they are writing for him, those are different things. I would agree that he is clearly not a heel or a babyface and I think that is a flaw quite honestly. I think it’s a mistake. I think that this kind of on again, off again success that they have been having with Roman Reigns over the past couple of years is testimony to that. It’s just not really working to the potential that Roman Reigns has or I believe he has. I believe he could and should be the top, if not one of the top stars in WWE. He has all of the tools and ingredients, what he may be lacking in certain regards like promo skills or finding that last ten percent of his character. Really connect with the audience and more importantly be able to manipulate the audience, that’s the final ten percent. That’s not his fault if they are writing him to be neither fish nor fowl because they don’t understand how to do it. So the creative team finds comfort in keeping him in that “gray zone” which really is a safe zone because you aren’t really making a commitment because you don’t want to fail.”
