I hate Reigns' Superman Punch

Postby Kyle » Feb 22, '15, 10:18 pm

I hate it for the same reason I hate Big Show's Knockout Punch. If your punch is so strong that you can knock guys out for a 3-count, why wouldn't you just put your opponent in the corner and punch them 20 seconds into the match? I know this is pro wrestling here, but it's completely illogical that a guy like Reigns has this massive punch and doesn't at least try to use it right away. Heck, I think early in the match vs Bryan tonight he hit him with an open-hand uppercut - why not just hit him with a big Superman punch then?

Anyway, rant over. I'm at least glad they've been booking Reigns better since the Rumble even though I honestly fear that he'll get shit on at Mania and 80% of the crowd will be pulling for Lesnar - and the other 20% will be pulling for Bryan even though he won't even be in the match. :lol

Because he can't constantly be cocking his fist. Without the cocking of the fist it doesn't have it's power.

I like it. There are some things in wrestling you have to suspend your belief with (the Irish Whip for example) and it isn't like Reigns' Superman Punch is that outrageous. It isn't his finisher; just a signature move. Plus it isn't a regular punch since he picks up momentum running to use it.

I don't like it because why would anyone ever run and jump to punch someone. Plus he has good power moves yet his signature looks very week.

He's like a real life video game character. He has to build up till he has a finisher stored.

I'm not a huge fan of any punch being used, but Reigns' punch is a hell of a lot better than Big Show's ever will be. Big Show's punch is incredibly sloppy and doesn't look like it has any impact behind it, but Reigns' hit looks like it packs a wallop.
