You know another advantage Reigns has over many others?
Like Cena, he doesn't wear little spandex tights in 2015. What was ok then is not so much now.(Rock/Austin attire) Imagine if your favorite NBA stars came out in their 1970's version of clothing with the little tight shorts, they would all look ridiculous and this isn't something mentioned as much as it should be.
"That's shits gay dude" = "That's shits lame dude."
Luckily, some very talented guys still get over,(Bryan, Cesaro) but who's to say they couldn't get even more over not looking like something from "back in the day."
Nobody should be wearing little tights anymore unless it's part of the gimmick. It's 2016 boys.... Why bother continuing to make people chuckle at the thought of Pro Wrestling?
New fans is the key, good luck with that when you're still stuck in the past. It looks like a damn circus with clowns with that style these days and the attitude to pro wrestling from non fans prove that.
