Today I wanna talk about how I made this “Tribal Chief” thing work for Roman Reigns. It’s been a wild ride, let me tell you.
Getting Started
First off, I had to really think about what makes a Tribal Chief. It’s not just about being a tough guy, right? It’s about leadership, respect, and a bit of fear, maybe. So, I started with Roman’s look.
- Changed his gear: Got him some new threads that looked more, you know, chief-like. Less of that Shield stuff and more warrior vibes.
- New music: His entrance music had to change. Needed something that screams power and authority.
- Attitude adjustment: This was the big one. Roman had to act differently. More serious, more in control.
The Process
It wasn’t easy, man. At first, people were like, “What’s going on with Roman?” But I kept at it. I started having him cut these intense promos. Talking about family, legacy, and all that stuff.
- Promos: I wrote these speeches where he’d talk about being the head of the table, providing for his family. Real emotional stuff.
- Matches: His matches changed too. More brutal, more dominant. He wasn’t just winning; he was making a statement.
- The Bloodline: This was key. I brought in The Usos, his cousins. They started helping him, enforcing his will, you know?
Making it Believable
The hardest part was making people believe this was real. That Roman really was this Tribal Chief. I had to make it more than just a wrestling gimmick.
- Consistency: Every week, Roman had to be the Tribal Chief. No slipping back into the old ways.
- Storylines: I created these stories that went on for months. Feuds with other wrestlers, family drama with The Usos. It was like a soap opera.
- Reactions: I watched how the fans reacted. If they weren’t buying it, I tweaked things. It was a constant process.
The Result
And you know what? It worked. People started to see Roman as the Tribal Chief. He became this larger-than-life character. The top guy. The one everyone wanted to see, whether they loved him or hated him.
It was a lot of work, but it paid off. This whole Tribal Chief thing, it’s not just a character anymore. It’s a whole movement. And I’m proud to have been a part of it. That’s my story, folks. Hope you found it interesting.
