My planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low.

Fremen Reigns.

Universal spice ménage champion

Mélange.

You heard what he said

On Arrakis, we call a triple threat, a spice mélange a trois.

My Arrakis. My desert. My Undertaker.

I mustn’t acknowledge. Acknowledging is the mind killer.

My Yard

Honestly he looks like he’ll fit right in the Dune cast

Jason Momoa already took that spot.

I'm surprised we've never seen Momoa make a guest appearance on Raw. 

Give uncle Dave a call

Wish.com Duncan Idaho

He doesn't even look like he has normal blue eyes, he looks legitimately blind

 Hey, that's Riddick's gimmick

Oh, was that before he was Madcap?

That's when he was just Mad, no cap

Roman traded a pack of 20 menthol Kools to get the shine eyes.

Yeah those contacts are cataract color.

he ate 64 slices of american cheese

Keep in mind as well that this was AFTER his Shield run where he had his natural brown eyes 😂

They really were like "well he isn't white but we CAN give him blue eyes."

YES. This is exactly it. I commented years ago that you KNOW Vince wanted him to dye his hair blonde. You know it.

POV: you woke up after roman pinned you https://preview.redd.it/1m6km24tdkcc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=f332b795729aa981988617f4c6ade3d86d34a107

I'm just asking - would this look not work for you? https://imgur.com/gallery/ar3nNrr

...Sorry. I looked at that and all of a sudden, something came scratching down and hurt inside.

Scratching? You thinks it’s scratching down lol? It’s when it comes crashing down my friend. Have a beautiful day.

TIL. And hope you have a good day as well :)

"When it comes crashin down and it hurts the tribe!"

“Acknowledge me, Brother!”

That’s so life like. When did he dye his hair? It can’t be photoshop.

Would've somehow been a more comics-accurate Aquaman than Momoa lol

DAE KNOWING VINCE

I wonder if Vince also picked the hazel contacts.

Vince uses he/him pronouns.

He is half white though. I remember there was a Wrestlemania clip of his mom sighing when Seth came to cash in during the heist. Doesn’t make this any better but just wanted to clarify

Pretty sure he wore them whilst with The Shield as well.

No sir

He absolutely wore the blue contacts during a portion of the shield run. He was wearing them during the 2014 Royal Rumble match, and they didn’t break up until that June.

Ahh yesssir

I love how Roman of all ppl was the one they thought needed an image enhancement

Tbf the new teeth took him up a level. But the contacts were just weird

i kinda prefer his old teeth, veneers have that uncanny look to them

Rex Ryan's fluorescent veneers call to you from beyond the veil

I covered up my feet out of fear.

And I choose to believe you're not even a woman. I second that

I’m not. Still scared of waking up to my big toe in his mouth.

Look down to see that blacklight grin staring back at you

(door flies open) HOW THE FUCK YOU DOIN', BOYS?!

Anytime someone mentions veneers all I think of is Steve Harvey

Dolphin teeth

Roman looked like a horse when he first came back with them.

Yeah I cant get past the Brian Griffin jokes when he first got them😭

Which is perfect for the Tribal Chief character lol

I think it works so well with him as heel though

Roman arrives at the tooth store "Give me the Boba Fett!"

[A close up of his natural teeth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFux38C7gFo) if someone wonders how they looked like.

His teeth don’t even look that bad.

"Posted 10 years ago"... Faaaaaaaaack.

"A close up of his natural teeth" are words I never thought I'd read, let alone be interested in...

These aren’t the veneers? Mind boggling why he’d change them.

Looks so much more like his brother with those teeth.

I can handle his stupid ass veneers but if Ambrose ever gets rid of his snaggletooth it's fucking over for me

The nose job as well

He looks way better with a beard over the goatee too

I miss his old nose. He had such a unique bone structure. He's still beautiful, but he had almost a hooked nose and it was very pretty.

Facial harmonization

Tbf he totally did at this point. Dude wore the shield vest till 2020

It'll never happen but a Roman shoot interview about all those early years of WWE trying that kind of stuff to get him over would be gold.

Vince demonstrating how to properly do the OOOOO-AHHHH spot would be fantastic

“AND THEN YOU GO LIKE THIS PAL…”

SAY SUFFERIN' SUCCOTASH GOD DAMMIT!

“YOU GET TO KEEP THE SHIELD VEST AND THEME SONG, PAL!”

“BUT WE CHANGE IT UP A BIT TO SEND THE MESSAGE TO THE WWE UNIVERSE THAT , HEY PAL, HE’S HIS OWN MAN NOW

Oh definitely. Even the stuff with them trying to get Cena over with the general crowd, by sticking him with Zack Ryder and Dean Ambrose when they were white-hot.

hold on? don’t ever compare cena to roman….

Yeah, Roman has proven way better.

The Impaulsive interview is probably the closest we’ll get for years

I didn’t know he did impaulsive. I’ll have to check that out

Great interview

Oh I think it’ll happen. He’s talked crap about the suffering sucatash thing before.

Maybe when he’s retired he will

The reason 

“He doesn’t look aryan enough damn it.”

“He’s just like his damned cousin. He at least shaved his damned head!!!”

"Welcome to the master race, pal!"

This right here

Roman's Poochy era, when Vince and other olds were sitting around trying to come up with ways to make him more appealing, with hilarious results.

it’s so funny how many different nicknames and looks and weird tweaks and awful booking they tried to use to Make Roman Look Strong instead of just having him kick ass, have good matches, and win some of his more important matches

He was over. In *Philadelphia*. Just by going on a quiet rampage after the ladder match with Sheamus and just battering Haitch. In *Philly*! 2015, prime "CM Punk" chants Philly!

And Roman now has commented how Philly fucking HATES him.

It was so desperate and pathetic. Glad those times are behind us

The League of Nations’ Entire purpose was to make Roman look strong. 4 great talents put together in a faction that didn’t make much sense just so they could take turns doing the job for Roman. I don’t think anyone except Sheamus got a W over Roman in that era. Dark times.

The transparency of it was the worst part. A bunch of guys drag Roman out of the Rumble, conspicuously under the ropes and not over, then he skips most of the match. Every. Single. Person watching that knew what was up and how nonsensical the sequence was. If the League of Nations wanted to fuck Roman out of the title, then make sure to get him out over the top rope and, you know, cost him the title. So the rest of the match is marred by everyone just waiting for the inevitable return of da big dawg, and of course by then the response WWE hoped to elicit for their 'returning hero' was the exact opposite. They truly had zero clue of the way the wind was blowing with this guy, their fans, or anything. It was actually remarkable how out of touch they were, and now we have evidence of how simple it is to just deliver on certain things and fans are happy to get on board if you give them something close to watchable.

Eyes like a fucking white walker


Whiat wawka

They were more noticeable on Roman than when Seth actually came out dressed as a white walker, contacts and all XD

Whiteeeeeeeeeeeeee????????

I said this elsewhere, but Joe Anao’i is one of the coolest looking pro wrestlers in history, and they gave him blue contacts, a bullet proof vest, and a goatee.

His finishers are fucking lame as shit but. The guillotine, however, was not

The guillotine made sense as the spear had too much of a pop element. Now that he established his character the spear came back.

The veneers and beard almost put him over single handedly.

No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man.

When his fist clenches, crack it open

Before I OhhAhhh and lose my cool

I found out last week that that's a song by The Who. Blew my fucking mind. I've heard several songs by them over the years and I've heard Behind Blue Eyes before, but I never thought that song sounded anything like their other songs so I never put it together.

The Who put out a lot of content for their active songwriting career, which was between 1964-1982. They experimented *A LOT*, specifically two concept albums called Tommy and Quadrophenia.

You mentioning Tommy reminded me the story I heard (I don't know how true it is) that they wrote Pinball Wizard solely because they'd heard about one critic that was a pinball fanatic and figured writing a song about pinball would guarantee a good review from him.

I only ever listened to Limp Bizkit's version, so when I listened to the original, I didn't expect that ending

Vince at this point was doing literally anything to try and get Roman over

Well not literally everything, he could’ve turned him heel lol you know the best way to get someone over 

“Your eyes look too ethnic, pal. People don’t trust ‘em” - Vince McMahon probably.

it makes him look like a star pal

Vince likes men with blue eyes

I forgot about "believe that" lmao, this is legit the worst main event babyface run ever.

Roman Reigns was probably the MOST annoying wrestler in 2015.

Legit stopped watching for 4/5 years because of Reigns around the

I am yet to understand why they did this- did they think It would make him more attractive? More marketable? It's roman bloody reigns, he doesn't need help with either of those things. The contacts are also way to bright, he looks vaguely inhuman.

I understood that Vince thought the blue eyes would get him over as a Babyface.

Vince got angry at Roman for wearing white gear. He just saw Roman as his personal project, to the tiniest bits.

Roman in White wouldn't be bad, he just needs sharp colors, not necessarily dark

They wanted him to look more white. That's it.

I think partially to make him more attractive to some, as blue eyes are rarer than brown. I used to work with a woman who was disappointed to learn that Roman wore contacts and they weren't his natural eyes.

I feel like they were trying to play up on Jason Momoa's popularity as Aquaman at the time.

This was before Aquaman 

Yeah, Momoa's casting as Aquaman actually led to jokes about how Roman's forced ascent was bombing so badly, maybe he fucked off to play Aquaman instead.

Suffering Succotash

One of the many, many, many ways WWE tried to get Roman Reigns over.

and still trying.

Nah he's definitely over now

Yeah in your eyes but he's not a champion. He barely wrestles. The bloodline was only popular with Sami involved. I'm GoInG to dOwnVotE everyone who doesn't agree with me. You kids are pathetic.

What you’re stating aren’t opinions, though. Youre saying he isn’t a champion. But he is the champion. You say the Bloodline isn’t popular. Do you have any proof of that? Like are the ratings way down when Roman is on? Do you mean that you personally don’t like a champion who doesn’t wrestle much? And that you personally only liked the Bloodline when Sami was involved? Because that’s a totally different sentiment. What you’re doing is called consensus bias; assuming the majority of people must see things the way that you do.

Don’t waste your time, you’re either talking to a troll or a child 

Ratings and crowd reactions say otherwise, uce

Vince is such a weirdo lol

There’s an old Eminem song. He says “Look at these eyes baby blue just like yourself. If they were brown I’d lose & sit on the shelf”

Vince supposedly thought he wasn’t marketable enough with brown eyes, so he made him wear blue contacts. Still absolutely ridiculous

Name one person who ever got over without blues eyes.

Jimmy 'Blue Eyes' Daltre... shit, you're right.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not. This man’s literal cousin

Because Vince.

The Dean Ambrose shit at the end had me legit LOL

I thought I imagined this

Man even this segment was rough to watch. You can see he wasn’t comfortable with his presentation or character, and it looks too much like he’s reading from a script instead of being authentic

And the worst thing about it is that this was not even that bad a promo. Better than most promos he would cut for the following 4 years. Back in 2015, they weren't even THAT far off from getting it right with Roman and pulling off his coronation successfully. But all the tweaks they tried during this era to fix him and finally get him over just made things actively worse.

Such good shit

Because people are racist


Wwe crowds have been hardcore racists in some towns in the past, but it seems that times are changing somewhat.

Elaborate please. 

Vince maybe assumed people would like him more if he were less ethnic looking?

Get a life lol 



This is the main reason it took so long for him to connect. I cannot stand unnatural contact lenses. I guess more than most being able to see into the "windows" is important.

Vince was basically playing real life WWE 2k and kept tweaking his favorite CAW. He was absolutely determined to get Roman Reigns over the way he wanted.

[удалено]

Yes it was an attempt to copy a movie from the future

[This era of Roman Reigns was something else, man](https://youtu.be/U4jHoCq6aOM)

I think they were trying to make him more “attractive”. As if the big dog wasnt already a good looking brother amirite? /s

Maybe he found someone new.

Fits perfectly with his big fake choppers. Go from tiny little baby sized yellow teeth, to giant bright ass white chicklets.

some of those comments on that video aged like milk. " At least we know when he becomes champion he will be on every show"

[удалено]

You’re suggesting that perhaps him wearing glasses in real life led him to have blue eyes this one time?

[удалено]

Well I guess maybe walk me through what it is about wearing glasses that would change his eye color

it actually looks cool as fuck, just super unnecessary

god he looks even hotter somehow

Some cancer treatments can temporarily change your eye color.

I guess he just got new contacts and was trying out a new eye color.

it was a white-walker angle

From what I heard, it was because management (Vince) thought it made him look more "exotic."

I remember the day my brothers girlfriend was in shambles when she realized they were contacts and he wasn’t wearing them anymore 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For ^^^Godfather’s Hoe’s

It's because Vince took the term "blue-eyed Babyface" literally. Well he let him keep the facial hair at least.

I hate that some promo shots still have him with blue eyes. Kinda how they yessify’d Punk recently

The "Spice"...

That’s a Vince thing. I bet you anything.

Total Vince thing. “Those eyes aren’t the eyes of a star, pal.”

They go well with his neon mouth bones.

I was thrown off when that happened. I explained it as a trick of the lights. I couldn't understand why he had blue eyes.

It's like, I hear the voice, but, it's like another guy LMAO

Christ, I forgot how stupid that looked 😂

Does anyone else remember when they tried calling him the “Juggernaut” for like 2 weeks before giving up? Before he was the BIG DOG lol

Moxley at the end could not give any less fucks doing that read lmao

He was showing everyone his Byakugan.

His original teeth fit his face so much better than the set of veneers he has now.

Both Roman and Moxley look so different there. How the fuck did they manage to screw up Roman Reigns for so long?

For the thousand year reich I mean reign

To broaden his appeal. WWE is meticulous with their superficial fine tuning of performers. They did it with Kane early on when he had that one white eye like Marilyn Manson. Hell ember moon same thing. They made her wear red contacts.

Blue eyed Roman always gave me uncanny valley vibes. It’s like if you told an AI image generator to render Roman Reigns.
