After Two years, who is your favorite Shield member? Comparison to last year's votes

Hello everyone, Mr White here.

So last year around this time, I made a thread that was labeled "who is your favorite Shield member after one year?" so I decided to make one this year as well.

You guys may be pretty surprised at how the voting went down last year this time, I certainly am!

Without any further ado, this is how last year's voting poll looked like:

Dean Ambrose - 36% (79 Votes)

Roman Reigns - 35% (76 Votes)

Seth Rollins - 28% (62 Votes)





With 217 votes last year, we had a good picture of which star was most popular, so I wanted to ask the same question this year so that we could compare to last year's numbers, and I am very curious to see who number one is!

Last year I had chosen Roman Reigns as my favorite while Rollins was my second. This year, it is clear to me that Seth Rollins is my favorite, Ambrose is my second and Reigns is last. I tried to stick with Reigns, and I still like him, but this undeserved push and robotic scripted promos thing has absolutely done it for me.

Voice your opinions and vote! And IF you remember who you voted for or would have voted for last year around this time, let us know.

NOTE* Last year this time, Reigns was badass and had that amazing performance during the survivor series 5 on 5 where he eliminated 4 guys, so that was still on people's minds!

It was Ambrose before, it's Ambrose now, and 3 years from now when Reigns and Rollins are main eventing WrestleMania against each other and Ambrose is fired and working the Indies for peanut shells because "God damn, we just couldn't find anything for a guy who looks like you", it'll still be Ambrose. He's the only one with main event potential, the propaganda machine will never work on me, they can tell me about the other two until the cows come home but they're just not anybody I'd ever want to see. Of course they managed to screw Ambroses character up, so people think he isn't talented anymore.....leave it to WWE. They could write a course at Harvard about how to take a great, interesting person and inorganically shoehorn them into the worst version of themselves.

Re: After Two years, who is your favorite Shield member? Comparison to last year's vo

I've always been a big fan of Ambrose, more so than Rollins or Reigns.

Now, largely due to what I think is horrid booking, Ambrose has fallen behind Rollins. Not because he's less talented, but because the character they're having him portray is simply awful, IMO. That, and the fact that he cannot ever backup his talk by getting a win (usually due to interference or some other kind of screwiness) and it has taken its toll on his credibility. He really needs to get back on track before sliding way down the WWE pecking order.

On the flip side, Rollins has been booked very well overall, allowing him to showcase his great talent. He's a true heel who doesn't pander to the crowd or try to get some cheap pops in between his heelish action. He is a dick (his character) and he plays it up as well as he can. Guy is great, no doubt about it. It's a shame that Ambrose hasn't been allowed to showcase himself as well as Rollins has.

Reigns, him I've never been too high on. I don't dislike him, but I'm not at all sold on him, either. He's too forced and unnatural in his current persona. I do see some potential, but it's hidden behind an awful character he has no business playing.

So, for me, it's Rollins --> Ambrose --> Reigns.

I voted for Seth Rollins but it was very close between him and Roman Reigns.

I've always liked Roman Reigns ever since I first saw him in The Shield, but Seth Rollins has grown on me like no other this year. I've become a big fan of Rollins due to the great year he's had.
Ambrose not so much. I never saw anything all that special in him, and I've watched him since his CZW days. I guess I can see the appeal in him to others but he doesn't connect with me at all..

I remember last year when The Shield were still together a lot of people figured Roman Reigns would be the future face star as he was pushed as such, and Ambrose would be the top heel while many thought Seth Rollins might get left behind. I'm happy to see it didn't completely work out like that. Reigns is still in line for that super push but instead of Ambrose it's Rollins who got the big heel push.

2015 is going to be a big year for all 3. I don't really care about Ambrose though so I'm not too bothered with what happens with him. Rollins and Reigns I'm excited for though.

Last vote: Reigns.
This time: Rollins.

The problem with Reigns recently is his character booking. He needs the Orton style tweener treatment and not the overly superfluous superman booking. Beating Kane's Rumble eliminations was pointless and should have came up 1 short for example. At least the guy did the job for Wyatt at EC so that's something. But really he's relying too much on 'the look', which will only get him over with women and children. If he wants to connect with the entire audience he needs to not be unbeatable, expand his moveset and most importantly develop that poor mic work. It's not Cesaro bad but it's cringe worthy at times.

Ambrose came out of the Shield and improved as a star. But really not to the levels that have been made out on here. His PPV booking has been atrocious but on the flipside he does normally get a lot of time with Raw segments and has strong booking in the feuds, which is more important in many regards because that's what gets you over (See Daniel Bryan). Really he could have done more with his opportunity. His crazy persona as a face doesn't really work when he's squirting Orton with hot dog sauce and the facial expressions get overbearing. Sometimes he gets it and sometimes he comes across as completely awkward.

Rollins. Now here is a guy that gets it. Since the heel turn he has played his character to absolute perfection. You just know that he is not a 'Vince guy', but his work is so good that it keeps him in his spot. And for people that complain about Ambrose's losses, this guy right here done the job to Reigns, on Raw, no shenanigans, completely clean for no reason whatsoever. Rollins does gets protective booking but just like Rusev, he has earned every bit of it. His ring ability is up there with Bryan/Cesaro, the way he carries himself, his mannerisms & expressions play up his heel role perfectly. Even his mic ability has improved dramatically. When Rollins turns face he is going to be big. More potential overness than Jeff Hardy.

Last year I think I was split on Reigns and Ambrose but this year it's far and away Rollins. His development has been fantastic in all areas; ring, mic and most of all character. He's had the best character and storyline arcs of anyone in the whole company nevermind the Shield. Reigns development has been non-existent, he's still the same guy he was a year ago, same music, same attire, same everything. Ambrose has been too inconsistent. I mean he's a crazy guy and all but I don't think he has the same depth to his character that Rollins does. And on a personal level I just prefer Rollins more. He's one of the few guys I bother to watch these days. Fantastic in ring, improving on the mic all the time and has his smarmy little shit character to perfection. All of this and he hasn't even turned face yet. The guy is just a star.

Last Year - Ambrose (Reigns 2nd and Rollins 3rd)

This Year - Ambrose (Rollins 2nd and Reigns 3rd)

Still like all 3 but think Reigns is getting pushed to high to fast for what he is ready for, IMO. I know I make fun of Reigns alot on here, but that is more me making fun of WWE's push of him rather than Reigns himself, b/c I to see the potential in him, but believe the WWE will mess it all up with him.

Rollins is the man to beat.

Ambrose, I'm not really feeling it anymore. Preferred him in The Shield.

And I do like Reigns, but I hate the "solo top guy" booking.

We need 6 "Top Guys" like in AE, not one like in the Cena era, it doesn't work.

My favourite is Rollins and I think as far as work goes he's ahead of the other two by miles and miles. Ambrose has been awful lately so to me he's the worst of the three right now.

I'm still an Ambrose fan. This year him and Rollins carried the WWE on their backs but Ambrose just brings a level of fun and unpredictability that is needed in a post 3 hour Raw world.
