I'm obviously late to the party on this. I bounced of pro wrestling awhile ago, around 2011 or 2012, after being obsessed with it, particularly from 1997-2001.
Got invited to a buddy's place to watch Survivor Series 2023 and it was pretty fun, so he let me use his WWE Network info to go back and watch some older stuff.
I figured I'd start toward the end of the pandemic, cause I feel like wrestling needs a crowd, so I went with Wrestlemania 37 and then backtracked about a month to hit the major promos leading up to it.
And wow. Heel Roman Reigns is awesome. He's basically like peak douchey 'the decision' era Lebron James, dialed up to 11. He's got his little posse of sycophants, he has complete confidence in his abilities, yet drips with insecurity and pettiness when it comes to other people evaluating him (Acknowledge me!), and his ring work is just so much better as a heel. What a revolting, entertaining mix of the best and worst a human can be. I love it.
I told me friend, and he tells me 'yeah, the character stays great but the matches start getting repeditive' which is a shame. But man, for right now, I am loving this character and blasting through 2021 at a fever pace.
