Austin, Rock and even Hogan got over because they developed their schtick over a long time. Somebody didn't just look at them when they were still raw and decided they were #1 awesome guy who overcomes all the odds and dogs down deep or the next week is super badass who plays by his own rules and then next week is cracking jokes and calling people son.

Once again, The Rock himself is the perfect example of this. They tried to force feed Flex Kivana as the hot new babyface, Rocky Miavia... just on the merit of him being hot new babyface. It took "Die Rocky Die" and his stint with The Nation for an actual character to develop. Not saying Reigns *should* go heel, as I know that isn't an automatic fix. However, trying this "formulaic" approach on making him the next breakout talent to go to Hollywood is fucking stupid, and if they let the guy breathe and develop into what works for him, he could have possibly been in that role of a top draw by this year's 'Mania organically.
