-- As Dave noted on Twitter, Vince McMahon is writing Roman Reigns' awful promos, including the one last night where he invoked the phrase "sufferin' succotash."

i hated that part when he looked at the screen and winked at the fans for getting his lines correctly, it's mediocre that he feels proud about doing something that should be natural to someone hand picked as the future of the WWE. How can Vince sit in a podcast and say that Cesaro lacks mic skills while they're pushing Reigns instead

I haven't even watched Smackdown yet, and this makes me sad to watch it. :((

What is the whole idea of winkin' over remembering the lines?

I think it was more Reigns new the promo was absolute Sh*t and that was his way of saying it

I think it is supposed to be an inside joke over the fact that Reigns remembered his lines or something. No matter what it is, it is both stupid and out of character.


I might actually watch Smackdown to see how they set up the first Thursday show.

They're in town Tuesday taping actually. Been debating on it but I'm holding onto all I've got to ice my smile so it most likely won't happen.

Bryan Alvarez just referred to it as a "bad, terrible, horrible, awful promo."

he usually botches his promos in one way or another, in the TLC promo, he forgot his lines and made the weirdest face possible to hide it. A bunch of memes were made about it, so i'm guessing him winking to the camera is like "hey IWC, i got my lines, i wanna see you make fun of that, buuhlee dat"

I think you're right. I can't honestly say that even he thought that promo would be good, regardless of how well (or poorly) he delivered it.

I liked it better when he didn't cut a promo on every show. It suited his character better.

100% agree. He doesn't need to talk (and if he does, it shouldn't be more than a few words). He just needs to go out there and kick people's asses.

Wrestling Observer talks a lot about this Roman Reigns/Vince McMahon/Lack of Mic Skills situation a lot here

His short and sweet promos make his point better anyway I think. He should still be getting some experience on the mic, like cutting longer promos at house shows or something, but for now, on TV, keep it short.
