The Shield are awesome. It must be a record for WWE for not to have messed up these yet. The storyline has been pretty well done so far.
Patience ... they eventually will :(

Have some patience. Let the WWE have his Rock vs. Cena II and the Heyman/Punk/Shield angle can potentially become something like Evolution was.

Heyman showing amazing mic skills. What are you smoking. Wrong scene kid. Heyman didn't express any sort of legendary mic skills during that segment. Great work by the WWE so far with the Shield. Are you serious? They don't work for anyone, but now they do. That's horrible writing. What was the point of them costing CM Punk his title? Don't give me the lights went out bullshit either. The lights came back on to reveal Ambrose, and the others. It was no big secret, and it was actually insulting as a fan to think the WWE would try to pull this one out of their asses. For weeks people knew that somehow Heyman would be involved with The Shield. The Shield is a directionless stable from NXT.

Which brings me to my next point. They were acknowledged as being from NXT already. Meaning they are under contract to the WWE so in essence they do work for somebody. It's fans like you that are the problem. You actually are entertained by such simple writing that doesn't add up in the end. Fans like you are clueless as to how a story is actually suppose to go. There are so many holes in this angle it's insulting to my intelligence. What's the point of the Shield? When someone answers that intelligently I will consider being less harsh on this whole shit angle, and stable that the WWE has created for you to watch each, and every Monday.

Brad Maddox? He ruined Ryback's chances at defeating CM Punk in possibly the most awful way to end a popular star's streak. I'm not a fan of Ryback, but the booking in that match was awful. I can't believe CM Punk was fine with that ending in the least bit. Then Maddox has a match with Ryback in which Ryback just owns him. That's it. He still hasn't won a contract, and somehow he shows up on Raw every week. How does that work? Why isn't he arrested, and escorted out of the building? Better yet why didn't Vince kayfabe give him a contract last night for supplying the footage to him?

I just don't see how any of that scene was epic.
I'm truthfully sorry for your blindness.

Anything involving Dean Ambrose will always be epic to Ney Ney. Meaning that scene was only epic because Ambrose was in it.
No, not only. I liked it because Heymans acting was a masterpiece and the whole atmosphere catched me. Of course, Ambrose was a part of it.
Btw. wtf is wrong with you, once you liked him. :lol

Ambrose is awesome, but The Shield sucks. What is so hard for anyone to realize this? In fact I think all three of the members have huge potential, but this angle is destroying that. The run ins are old, and lead to nothing.

I don't see how you think Heyman wasn't showing great mic skills. But hey, it's your opinion. I don't see how it's horrible writing. Yeah, lets have The Shield come out straight away and say "Oh yeah, we're working for Heyman which is why we helped Punk retain his title etc." I mean why not, lets just not have that build up and get straight into it. Jeez, you're writing is even worse than the WWE's, some feet that.

:lol of course they work for the WWE, who said they didn't? You're making shit up on the spot now aren't you. In terms of "working for somebody" the question was whether they had a leader not that they weren't working for a company ffs. The point of The Sheild? They were working for Heyman and doing what he told them, wasn't that obvious to you?

I'm glad they ruined his streak, that thing would have kept him down. He was already a Goldberg rip off, getting rid of his streak was a good thing for the company. The fact he was put in the position to even be carried by Punk in a match was pathetic in itself and it shouldn't have even come to that.

I believe it was the Shield who said that they work for nobody. Cole said various times that The Shield aren't under contract. Why were they working for Heyman? Just to help Punk, who then acted like he didn't know? That's awful writing. You can tell they had no plan, and thus kept that open by saying that this stable didn't have a leader, only to swerve you all in to the notion now that they did. That's all this was. Why didn't the Shield come out last night to help Paul? Nothing about the Shield was obvious to me other than the fact that they are boring, and stale. So is Paul Heyman fired? Or will he just come out next week to a job that he doesn't have? Better yet Vince will keep him around because he is angry with Heyman, and so now Vince wants his ass. Then Heyman will be fired. Perhaps maybe Vince will make Paul kiss his ass? Maybe they'll have a retirement match at WM 29 this year.

As Amber said, The Shield have always said that they are not working for Punk. (Because they are working for Paul Heyman). Punk just got too confident and assumed that they would always be there to help him keep his title. It wasn't until Punk denounced/berated them publicly on Friday that they decided to fuck him over. Ambrose's face said it all. So I don't see how it's poor booking. If anything Punk should be mad at Heyman/The Shield for costing him the belt. But he'll probably brush it under the carpet.

Admitting he will just brush it under the carpet is no different than saying it's poor booking. There, you admitted it yourself this angle is horribly booked. Saying Punk will brush it under the carpet is only proving my point of this all in the first place. It's poor booking.

Good writing was when the video aired of Dean Ambrose, and Foley having words. They should have given Dean a shot with Foley. Instead Foley comes out to give a pep talk to CM Punk. Which did nothing for either man. Punk remained champ, and Foley went away after a Survivor Series PPV. Reigns is family of The Rock, you mean to tell me they couldn't find a way to debut him on that alone? Seth Rollins is gifted in the ring, and could have easily made a name for himself by now without the Shield. All three of these men are talented, but I feel as though this stable was done horribly, and with the wrong folks.

Anyone else think this will happen soon:

Cole: Oh My God, The Shield are destroying everything in site.
JBL: Cena, Orton, Ryback, Sheamus, nobody has been able to stop these men.

A minute later...

Cole: Who can stop these men.
JBL: Nobody Michael

Gong!

King: What?!
Cole: It can't be. It can't be.
JBL: There's no way.

Undertaker walks out onto the stage. and the arena goes crazy.

Cole: It is! It's The Undertaker!
King: Oh My God!
JBL: The Phenom is back, and he's coming after The Shield!

Also, during this, imagine Ambrose's facial expressions when hears the gong and sees Taker for the first time.:D

The man that was revealed as their leader, Paul Heyman. His job was in jeopardy last night. The footage proved that Heyman was guilty, and out comes Lesnar? Granted, I like Brock as much as the next guy. What sense did this make though? You would think The Shield who listen to no one, and have no rules would have just come out regardless of what Heyman says. After all firing Heyman would be an injustice right? If it weren't for Heyman would The Shield have been involved in such big time events like the Survivor Series, Punk's HIAC match with Ryback? Paul in essence gave them their shot. Why would they allow for him to be fired live on Raw? Instead Lesnar comes out because we already had our Shield run in for the night.:D:

Brad Maddox never won a contract. Why is he still around, and especially backstage following Heyman around? At what point up until some weird backstage segment did we even have a clue as to Maddox blowing anyone's cover? This just proves that this wasn't the plan from the beginning, and they are just going week by week like they do with much of their other angles. They had to tie up all these loose ends from the last two months. I see you won't answer any of the other questions either. You keep holding on to this one subject matter which I have now blown out of the water.
 
#4,197 ·
It's called tying up loose ends. That's why the segment was introduced last night. Typically in story writing there is foreshadowing. You tell me where there was foreshadowing that lead up to last night's segment between the five men, and maybe I'll give a bit of credit for continuing this debate.

lmao. Don't get so angry just because I am proving you wrong. Stop with the name calling it's childish. I don't take it so seriously at all. I just don't understand how everyone is so into the Shield angle, it sucks. There are plenty of holes in this angle, and you still can't prove me wrong on that matter. I didn't say every scene needs foreshadowing. However, I am still waiting for you to provide examples of.

@Mclovin it- Can you please explain to me why Maddox who was from NXT/FCW had to fight for a contract, but the Shield didn't? Can you also explain to me why Maddox is still around since he never won a contract? Heyman gave him a job? Since when does Heyman employ people for the WWE. Even Lesnar had the issue with his contract with Lauranitis, and HHH. Heyman had nothing to do with that. What makes Maddox any different? This guy just follows Paul around, and he is also a referee. Isn't there some sort of issue with a ref who works for the WWE, but also works for Paul Heyman?

Maddox was never signed to NXT as a wrestler but as a ref. he was in FCW as a wrestler but never made it to NXT.

They are at least protecting them and not yet getting treated like Aces and Eights geeks who fall over at the slightest note of babyface retaliation. The problem is that you know that's not going to last forever, as long as it's not Ryback being the babyface getting that shine, at least some benefit can be had for that moment.

Once again I feel like one of the bigger stars of this era is being held back by this stable. Dean Ambrose stands out on his own, and his mannerisms alone are enough to prove he is light years ahead of the other two men he is with. I really thought that the WWE was going to push this Foley vs Ambrose thing. If not a match then just pure classic mic segments with the two each week live on Raw. Ambrose is strong enough on the mic, and creative enough to actually keep interest. In fact his mic work with The Shield stood out more than anything else they have done. Ambrose is a sure thing, and I feel by now he could have been a bigger deal than we would have expected.
