Jim Ross Advocates This Is The Perfect Spot To Turn Roman Reigns Heel, Talks Potential Harts vs Flairs Feud

Interviews, News

Jim Ross had become a strong advocate for a Roman Reigns heel turn in recent days, here is what he had to say on the matter during an interview with Sports Illustrated Extra mustard:

“Reigns was a victim of timing and booking, but WWE really has the table set for a special heel turn. Unless WWE is hell bent on casting him as a hero, Reigns is posed for a big turn, possibly as soon as tonight. He would make a great heel champion.

 Unless he’s deaf, Reigns is aware that the fans do not respect him. So there is a very real and organic story to tell with WWE pulling the trigger on a heel turn. If the dots don’t connect on Raw, then that’s the fault of creative in WWE for lacking continuity. But from the perspective of a former booker, they’ve got Reigns in the perfect spot to pull the trigger and turn him into a red hot heel.”
Ross further elaborated on this during an interview with Wrestlezone Radio’s Nick Hausman:
“We will see where it goes. I think what they’ve done is set the table for a great heel turn. Certainly Roman Reigns has the goods. He has the title. He can certainly make a very valid and realistic point that, “I never needed you. I don’t need you now. I am the man whether you like it or not. I don’t care.” People will buy that and hopefully they would react in kind. I think the WWE is in a great spot to pull the trigger.”
During that same interview, Good Ol’ J. R. also shared his thought on a potential Harts vs Flairs feud:

“There’s an interesting storyline line there that’s plausible between the Flair family and the Hart family. It makes sense. You can believe that. I think it’s a neat idea and I think that the benefit of that will be some really good wrestling matches between Nattie and Charlotte.”

I've been following wrestling for almost 30 years now, and the metal scene for even longer. And let's just say that all that head-banging has left me with some weird ideas that i will share with you from time to time. Aren't you glad?
