He’s had four world titles, of course he’s qualified. Fucking Koko B Ware is in there and he was a glorified jobber
Not yet but he will. Either through making a triumphant return or by dying from his cancer. Either way it puts him in the HOF.
on a surface level he does because of his (forced) achievements. but when you actually look deeper it's questionable. his "character" is completely forgettable. his promos sucked. his "moveset" was bland and comically overused. a severe lack of overall charisma. nothing special about his gear or entrance. didn't excel as a babyface OR a heel. too many of his matches were predictable and anticlimactic. he stunk up several wrestlemanias and couldn't carry his opponents. he brought no value to the world title and couldn't elevate it – on top of making the main event scene boring. he was the least talented member of the shield etc. and if not for his (very unfortunate) illness he would get booed and mocked throughout his hall of fame induction (basically the fans rejecting him as a legitimate HOF inductee). he belongs "on paper" or as a statistic, but that's about it. vince fucked up his organic potential.there's nothing special or memorable about him other than strangling the main event scene and frustrating everyone with his superman punches lol.
Koko B Ware and Johnny Rodz are in it so theirs no excuse.
Yes he belongs in look at his body of work
Um…yes obviously. Anyone who says otherwise is a special kind of stupid that can't be helped. I mean Koko B. Ware is in the Hall of Fame for crying out loud.
If Daniel Bryan gets in for the stuff before he was able to get back so does Roman it's just hypocrisy if not
I belong in the hall of fame
Well, his accomplishments kind of speak for themselves. Anyone who has won multiple titles and main evented WM on a number of occasions is a no-brainer for the HOF. It makes absolutely no difference if that individual was "handpicked by WWE management" or if they were pushed as a top babyface in spite of negative crowd reactions, he was given the ball and kept running with it for years and years. Of course Reigns belongs in the HOF.
Lets say he never wrestles again. Yeah, I'd say he's a HOF'er, but not a headliner. His illness aside, and I would NEVER wish that on anyone, it doesn't change the fact that he was completely force fed and the majority of the masses rejected him. Roman just never got that big babyface reaction they were clearly aiming for. Sadly, if he does come back, he'll probably get cheered out of respect and empathy. But had they listened to his overwhelmingly negative reaction, I think he would've been a mid carder at best.
