Episode 300: The Fall & Rise Of Roman Reigns
The Samoan Wrestling Dynasty is the most successful wrestling family in the history of professional wrestling. Whether the last name is Anoa'i, Fatu, or by blood oath Maivia; The Samoan Wrestling Dynasty has had success for decades throughout wrestling. Outside of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the person with the most success in the entire family is Leati Joseph Anoa'i; better known to the wrestling world as Roman Reigns. Since the breakup of The Shield in June 2014, Roman was put on a path toward singles immortality; becoming one of the biggest stars in WWE history. But success did not come easy; as at 1st he was considered by a lot of fans "Cena in a tactical vest". But after 6 years, Roman going home, & Paul Heyman saying "let me work with him"; Roman went from a hated babyface to a loved heel as The Tribal Chief. This episode will cover his fall as a babyface to his rise as a heel; the questionable booking from June 2014 until March 2020, the great booking from August 2020 through April 2024, & everything in between.

Roman Reigns is the only heel in WWE to be World Champion for more than 1000 Days. And the First Wrestler to be World Champion for 1000 Days in Moder Era.

Longest reigning heel World Champion in WWE history
Congratulations on 300, James! Roman's story arc from "Sufferin' Succotash" through the Tribal Chief is nothing short of remarkable; when he comes back (likely at MITB.....maybe), he will get the pop Vince tried to force (NEVER thought we'd hear "We Want Roman" chants and they will get louder) and it will be amazing.

What a difference 3 years makes. Who would've thought we'd be in a time where the crowd would be chanting, 'we want Roman.' Just goes to show when you book someone right, even the crappiest of chicken crap can become the tastiest of chicken soup. On another note, if Nia Jax and/or Naomi joined the Bloodline, they would be great additions. On another nother note, congrats on 300 videos, here's to 300 more, and just as Roman has etched his name as one of the all time greats, you have etched your name as one of the all time great wrestling reviewers.

Great video ill never forget the heat roman got around 2015 and so on but it was mostly the fans rebelling against the wwe for not giving them Daniel bryan at that rumble where they crapped on literally everything i feel roman didnt deserve that. But eventually we did get him as heel roman reigns which was the best thing in the wwe

Thanks In hindsight, they should have waited to bring Bryan back until after Wrestlemania 31
I always thought Roman was booked better when the Tribal Chief gimmick began. The WWE should have learned that if it's not broken don't fix it, meaning trying to book Reigns as a copy of Super Cena. I'm happy they finally got their heads together and turned everything around for the better. We acknowledge you, Roman. As far as what's next for Roman, we'll never know.

Great video on recapping Roman Reigns career. I was one of the few fans that I defended Roman Reigns shitty babyface run and etc I actually wanted him to turn heel around 2015 and 2017 before his great Tribal Chief run. I think Roman turning heel after WrestleMania 33 could have worked.

If there was ever the chance to do it, do it at the point where he beat Taker at Wrestlemania
To be honest James, even if Roman was pushed too hard and too soon, I will always truly believe that Roman was mostly booed because the IWC was mad because Daniel Bryan didn’t win the Rumble. A lot of his hate was pretty petty IMO.

Three questions for you. 1. Which feud would you rather see: Austin vs Roman or rock vs Roman ? 2. Do you think Roman could have fit in the attitude era? 3. Do you think Cena should have gone? He given how great Roman has been?

This comment is post WM 40. I really hope Roman comes back as H.O.T.T. The Bloodline isn't a wrestling faction. It's a living legacy. A dynasty of dna. I hope they ride that wave for a long time.

Questions 1. How would have the tribal chief would have been in the attitude era. 2. How would they have pushed him the right way the first time 3. During his big dog era what was your favorite and least favorite matches.

Don't know; but Roman the talent would have worked well in the Attitude Era During "The Big Dog" Era; his matches with AJ right after Wrestlemania 32
I would suggest doing a retrospective on another defunct wrestling promotion, but a LOT of them have been talked about to death already.

Roman winning the WWE Championship in Philly and getting cheered IMO had more to do with nobody taking Sheamus seriously as the top heel in the company especially at the time where there was little to none top heels

Great video.... though I think it's arguable if Roman is the most successful of that family... Maybe not at this stage... I think in terms of wrestling, The Rock is still the biggest star and more successful.. maybe when Roman's career is finished, that may change.n

2017 it would have worked After turning The Usos on Smackdown & after Roman beat Taker; would have been a time to run the 3 as a heel trio
Also, Would you consider Undertaker the Franchise Player of WWE: - Being Loyal to WWE. - Carried WWE for 30 Years. - Was the Face of SmackDown Brand.

When I think franchise player/face of the franchise I think the ones who were considered the face of the company(Bruno, Hogan, Austin, etc.) Taker was never that; he was in a different category all together ala Andre The Giant
Unfortunately, James, to me, there was an issue with Roman's nearly 4-year run that still makes it a bit less impactful than what Hulk Hogan did from Jan. 23, 1984-Feb. 5, 1988...Roman, being a heel, would not have been able to move as much merch, in terms of items sold (not cash made), than what Hogan managed to pull off in his era. Too much money was left on the table by Roman being a long-run heel champion. That waters things down for Roman in my eye, and has me not celebrate that run of his like I would have for Hogan in the 80s and Austin in the Attitude Era. When Roman does come back, he has to return as a STRONG babyface Tribal Chief, who quickly takes Heyman back, and hopefully ends all Bloodline stories in WWE by no later than WrestleMania 42 in 2026. That's where that story should meet it's end, if it does go that far, provided that Joe Anoai's health stays stable (of which, obviously, there's no guarantees).

Roman Reigns realistically breaks Hogan's First WWF/WWE World Championship Record as he held WWE World Title for 735 Days and WWE Universal Title for 1316 Days which is for 2051 Days. So both WWE Title and WWE Universal Title are Merged but both Title still been Continuing so Roman Reigns Title Reign is for 2051 Days. What are your thoughts?

That's not how it works at all The 2 separate reigns aren't combined into 1 number; they are their own separate reigns
What if… The former Shield brothers get to face at WrestleMania 32 with Ambrose getting the win (Ambrose will be the Royal Rumble winner and Seth steals the WWE title away from Roman). Roman goes bonkers and assaults Ambrose, turning heel and the next night, he declares himself the Tribal Chief and puts everyone on notice, saying that he’ll do whatever it takes to become WWE Champion, even if it means beating them down beyond recognition and as for Ambrose, he’ll say that Ambrose stole his prize and when Ambrose went into business for himself and selfishly stabbed him in the back, it’s an instant death sentence and Roman will eradicate Ambrose once and for all, leading to a war between Ambrose and Reigns for the WWE title.

I would accept Bruno Sammartino as the Franchise Player of WWE. Hogan could have been on the list only if he didn't went and let WCW to beat WWF for 83 Weeks. Austin was the Face for 5 Years. So, in my opinion Bruno, Johnny Cena are the Franchise Player.
I will admit Big Show/Roman had no right to be that good at Extreme Rules 2015 but considering what was on the card outside of Dean/Luke 🤷
