Stone Cold has been very vocal about the dynamic between Roman Reigns and the WWE Universe. A short time ago, he

A short time ago, he made the argument that Reigns should turn heel to hit the reset button with the WWE Universe, but now he’s got another idea to help Roman with the WWE fans.

On Chael Sonnen’s podcast “You’re Welcome,” Stone Cold recently joined him to discuss a variety of things, including Wrestlemania 32 and Roman Reigns came up during the episode.

Why are the fans booing Reigns? 

“Roman is having a hard time winning the crowd over just because of the way he’s booked. When you sit there, good looking guy, a lot of charisma, [and] easygoing the times I’ve talked to him. He’s one of the nicest guys in the locker room and well-spoken and smart and doesn’t need anybody writing convoluted promos for him, so I just think many people consider him [to be] entitled because of his looks and that [has] actually worked against him, so the kid is in between a rock and a hard place, no pun intended that he’s related toThe Rock.”

What should WWE do to help Reigns get over?

“If this is the Reality Era, let the kid go out there and shoot and let the chips fall where they may.” Austin added, “let the kid have some freedom. Let the kid go out there and express himself. Let him go out there and experiment. All he can do is fall down and trip and then get back up if he does and take another shot at it. Vince [McMahon] is going to still try to do the tried and true formula, a traditional babyface push, but this kid is not going to be a traditional babyface because, just going back to politics, people don’t want to be told what to like, why to like him, here’s why you should like him, and, damn it, like him!”

Do you think Roman Reigns should cut an honest promo and talk to the WWE Universe rather than “just doing what he’s told?”
