Bret Hart Says Roman Reigns is a Victim of Bad Booking

– Bret Hart recently spoke with Notts TV News (transcript credit wrestlinginc.com ), and discussed his thoughts on Roman Reigns. Here is what he had to say…

“I think Roman Reigns is actually a hard working, decent wrestler and he [has] got potential. Whether he [has] got the potential to carry the company, I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like the fans are into that too much, but I think a lot of it is bad booking, just really lousy booking, like, when I look at WrestleMania and look at how they built him in the Royal Rumble, they booed him all the way in it for the short time he was in there. And then they had him get hurt by The Authority where 10 guys beat him on the floor, which was so contrived. And then he went back to the dressing room and then he came out at the very end. He still didn’t win. He got dumped out by Triple H, but it was like just too manufactured and too set up [for] people to digest it. And they kind of left it back up and it kind of ruined the making of him again as it led into WrestleMania. I thought it was just bad booking, bad story booking. What they should have done was have him out there early in the Rumble and have him earn it all the way through and have him fight till the end. Have him tip one guy out after another, especially when they wasted so many guys like The Big Show and Mark Henry, dumped them out like they were 100-pounders. If the Royal Rumble was legitimate, the last two guys in it would be The Big Show and Mark Henry, but they dumped them out like they were 100-pounders. It doesn’t make any sense to me.”
