Would rather they had built towards Ambrose vs Rollins but in this wrestlemania card i will take it.
It has some potential i just wish they didn't go for the slow build, it had heat already they didn't need to go this route just build on what they had.
I guess they didn't know how to fill 3 hours of raw without it which is dumb.
To understand some of the hype, I'd advise you to watch some of the programming. Watching the biggest PPV of the year might be a really good choice to start with as you've obviously not seen it.
Because despite not being an ex ROH guy Randy is one hell of a talent. Great in all areas when he's motivated. Him and Seth should produce a great match.
But we're seeing the same Seth Rollins whose character revolves around a dumb laugh, because his other heel antics are nothing.
Of all the matches that will be booked for WM31 Seth/Orton will be the best in terms of match quality. It actually has a really great story so far too, it's quite similar and been done before but it's been slightly tweaked but it works. They are two of my favourite wrestlers which also helps.
There is none, they killed any that had been built up on RAW. They're essentially setting up Orton turning on the Authority again when they did the same thing 4 months ago. There's no drama, we know what's going to happen because it already happened before. They could've easily had Orton do a mini feud with kane or Show until he gets to Rollins at WM.
I personally much prefer Ambrose Vs Rollins, they had something awesome going and they ruined it. A triple threat of Ambrose Vs Orton Vs Rollins also would be kinda cool.
Honestly, Orton Vs Rollins is pretty cool if only they had booked it correctly.
Don't you see that the Viper is toying with Seth Rollins right now.
Rollins is like a trapped mouse, and Randy is simply playing with his pray, with Seth unbeknownst.
Randy is making it look like he's alright with Seth, he's going to let Seth embellish himself in these upcoming promos, brag how he was on Daily Show etc.
Then the final weeks leading to WrestleMania, Viper is going to pounce on Seth Rollins ass like you ain't never seen before.
I suspect the beat down Randy Orton is going to deliver to Seth Rollins is going to be so viscous and brutal that it even though it won't be the main event at WM, it will be amongst the most talked about matches.
Randy Orton will win, and possibly not return afterwards, be like a retirement match with him going out on top, leaving the fans wanting more.
People still kvetching about this? Randy knows if he goes after Rollins now he'd have the ENTIRE Authority wanting to kick his ass, so what better way to do it than from the inside. Take out Kane, Big Show, the hobbit security and then your left with Rollins on his own with nowhere to run. Orton's gonna Jack Bauer his ass and its gonna be glorious at Mania
The match makes sense to be fair O.P. he put Orton out for months, you got the story there plus Rollins become the Authority's number 1 guy. Orton wants revenge. I don't like how they started the feud and its taking a little out of Orton overness with the fans.
But I think its the only match out of the top 5 that will deliver.
They waited too long to bring Orton back. When they bring him back the completely ruin his return..
The whole i am a face but i want to surprise the Heels by thinking that i am a heel and stabbing them in the back when they don't expect it it's fucking stupid.
Orton got great reactions both nights(Fast Lane and Raw) before he aligned himself with the Authority again.. This is another big example of WWE overbooking with no reason.
And for people that trying to defend that shit no. The Authority would not kick his ass. You can book the feud too fucking easy. They have the whole Authority feuding with Dolph,Ryback,Rowan for 4 months now just make them support Randy. That way Randy stays white-hot and those 3 guys are getting over from the alliance with the hot-returning babyface..
But noooooooooooo.. WWE has to "swerve" the fans with the most predictable "swerve" ever..
Also booking Rollins to lose all the matches doesn't help the feud too..
They will have a great match but there is nothing above that and i don't expect them to do something great with them either.
i am not an orton fan-gimmick.
so this is just a guess and also my mind why people would like orton-rollins:
lot of orton fans want him finally nothing to do with authority.
Why: Do you really need something like a authority to make orton relevant.
I think no. Orton is a predator, he picks out people and goes after them.
i dislike the idea of orton being a controlable character. That is what killed the kane gimmick in my view
Apparently Orton is suddenly the most entertaining guy and the complete package and everyone loves him. I don't get the hype either, from what i remember Orton was always boring and average both in the ring and mic.
When he's motivated he's near untouchable. Those 3-4 weeks before his haitus he was easily the best thing going in WWE. No one else was anywhere close to being as entertaining.
But yeah maybe you're right, the guy who has good-great matches with everyone sucks. Guarantee if Randy worked for ROH every smark would gobble his balls for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I am into the match. They both can go in the ring. I imagine Orton is going over. I'd prefer Seth, but it's not a deal breaker. Should be match of the night because you know they will get a lot of time to present their story.
I think people are interested since Orton was pretty much the Rollins of the Authority, while Rollins is the Evolution era Orton of the Authority. Personally don't care at all.
Yeah, except Randy is now a face and getting some of the hottest reactions from the crowd. The story makes sense, it's been built up over time and well, and the match will likely be very solid.
Yeeeeeah people don't care....thats why on Raw last week he got pop of the night and gets big pops everywhere he goes. If you haters wanna talk shit about Randy maybe try to use actual PROOF and not fucking bullshit "claims".
Because it's the only match on the card that combines a solid storyline and a potentially great match, every other booked or potential match has only one or none of those components in my opinion.
Reigns/Lesnar: Not expecting much match quality wise and the story will probably get shat on by the Wrestlemania crowd
Sting/HHH: OK storyline but if you've seen Sting work in recent years this doesn't look to be a barnstormer waiting to happen
Wyatt/Taker: Going to be hard to sell a storyline as a one man show and Wyatt's never been the guy to carry a match whilst Taker's looking beat up as hell
Bryan/Ziggler: Zero storyline or repercussions but and excellent match most likely.
Cena/Rusev: Meh storyline and we've already seen this at fast lane and it was just ok
At least Orton/Rollins will be a good match and the storyline is pretty good so far even if they did their best to kill all the momentum last week.
