Cmon. Did Bray carry him to a great match at HiaC? Then did Cesaro, Del Rio and Ambrose during the build to Survivor Series? Then did Rusev and Sheamus going into/coming out of TLC? It’s not like we’re talking about Mania 31 where Brock basically wrestled around Roman. At some point during that feud with Bray he just put it all together and now that he’s working heel during matches, he’s a complete package.
Random note: It’s a good thing that New Day beat the Vaudevillains with heel tactics. Was worried they were going to turn them full face.
ive knocked roman the character but hes not the green shit he was a year or so ago. people wanna hate to just hate. thats fine…this is a salty ass thread when it comes to wwe. we arent allowed to have differing opinions about shit.
I can’t help but think that it doesn’t really matter anymore. Reigns could have taken a shotgun to the face last night and still kicked out at 2.
I’d much rather see Cena come back and challenge Reigns so I can just turn it off once the main event segments come on.
Let Rollins feud with someone where the outcome isn’t so obvious, or at the very least, won’t be so disappointing.
Its clear that if Roman improved his wrestling 100% before the next ppv, people will still boo. Its kind of become the thing to do. Unfortunately its starting to get old imo. Its almost that folks are so into booing him that they forget that the match he is in is actually good, and he is doing a decent job.
Also hope this leads to Viktor joining the social outcasts
I wonder how the revival does main roster. They would need to join a heenan to really get them over. Like tully and arn with heenan or jj dillon. The Revival with Flair in their corner? Flair becoming the new heenan would be great.
The Good Brothers need to call out the new day. Very soon. Hell AJ or Bálor would be the equalizer. Plus those trios matches would be fire.
he did improve even the crowd acknowledged it in their fucked up way… “you still suck” is basically wrestling for code for that was dope but we still wanna hate.
The problem for Roman is that he’s being lumped into the anti-McMahon sentiment to the point where people like Jae Hoon lose their minds. Obviously Vince is out of touch and so on and so forth, but Roman’s not the problem anymore.
I see. Well, I can foresee Reigns only getting better from here on out. I think that is the thing about the wrestling community though, like I just cheer for who I like. So cheering for Reigns for me is more so looking at the progress he has made since being in the title picture. At first when he would come out to do promos it was cringe worthy. After last night, I want to see a more brutal reigns. Like this nigga needs to channel his inner Grappler Baki or Tough and just come with that brutality.
The thing that would put Roman over the top is a heel turn on Ambrose. Like say ambrose wins mitb and interrupts a roman promo. Then the usos absolutely stomp the dude out and reigns stands on him saying he doesn’t belong here. And spears him in half.
That would put the bloodline right at the top as heels.
Like just have then destroy everybody until Lesnar comes back. Destroys the usos. Reigns wins because of interference from big uce. Samoa Joe.
You run Joe/Lesnar, get a returning ambrose to seek revenge, have rollins also continue his chase.
Then you feud Usos against the new day. With Joe in their corner.
I mean let’s not act like he’s able to carry a match on his own yet. He needs a good hand like AJ to guide him through, otherwise it’s just super armor some shots, superman punch>spear>lolwin. I like the one move he added, Razor’s Edge setup into the sit out powerbomb, but it was sorta just tossed into the middle of the match and then forgotten about. If he’s gonna do power moves like that, they should carry more weight in the match, not just be in there to look cool. A lot of the “YOU STILL SUCK” chants came after something like a table spot, which doesn’t really show any improvement as a wrestler, it’s just a table spot.
And even if you want to make the argument that he’s gotten better in the ring (he has but he’s not THE GUYYYYY yet, hurr) he’s still fucking terrible on the mic. I doubt you’ll try to dispute that. He is unbearably awful on the mic. There are wrestlers who are not very good in the ring, Enzo chief among them, who are still beloved for their mic skills. But we expect a level of proficiency in both ends of the game from our main eventers, and right now Roman doesn’t have that.
Rollins does, though. Rollins for champ, Vince pls.
Rollins is such a good heel. He was the man for 2 years. Like there was genuine hate for him. He got boo’d after hitting pheonix splashes. Fuck dude got the crowd to cheer cena in brooklyn for a small part before jon stewart ran interference.
Rollins is a complete package as a heel. As a face, he won’t be that same ruthless, cut throat, cocky backstabber. It’s going to be like when punk went face. Spinning his wheels until the turn.
yeah. my facebook feed has been super annoying. people cant just enjoy a good match.
smarks are so bitter about everything and incredibly short sighted.
AJ will be a world champ. just not anytime soon. get over it.
I don’t get why some people assumed that AJ Styles will get the WHC within his first year in the WWE…same with Kevin Owens, or whoever “free agent” WWE signs.
