Roman Reigns didn't visit an acting coach to work on promos

Remember when Roman Reigns was out injured and word got around that he was visiting an acting coach? He's since confirmed that to be true but, as he recently told Turnbuckle Weekly, he didn't do so to work on his promos.

"Yeah, I went out to L.A. for three days and I worked with the acting coach Howard Fine. Great guy. It wasn't about like promos or anything like that, it was just... It was almost like a... It's hard to explain because he has a really cool, he's not like every other acting coach. You're not just reading lines. It's really connecting with any type of emotion, connecting with triggers and things that help you emote in different situations because, you know, we're all human beings and we've experienced every single situation that you can think of, pretty much. So in order to be able to portray that any given time you have to have different memories and things to be able to trigger. He was just a really awesome help, a great experience, and really cool to meet. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue to work with him and help me move on and plan for a career after wrestling."

There's little questioning that Reigns has improved his body language, his ability to bring across whatever emotion he may be feeling at any given time. The problem, of course, is that that hardly matters when fans can't get past the content of his promos.

I'm not sure even Ric Flair in his prime could get over telling kid's stories.

The good news, then, is that the writing is the problem and not the man delivering the lines. Once the writing improves, we'll have a better idea of how high the ceiling is, if there is one at all.
