Don't worry about that joke post, but did you see this?

Right now, Dean Ambrose is the guy WWE officials want to build into a headliner once the angle with The Shield has run its course. At the same time, there are some in the company who think Roman Reigns has the most potential of the three. There's also a feeling that Reigns isn't ready as far as in-ring skills go but Ambrose and Seth Rollins are.

If this actually happens, then maybe wwe isn't full of out of touch officials like many have thought. But for now

I would cream my pants if it was Ziggler, I just really don't want the same predictable endings. I and really REALLY don't want to see Rock vs Cena (face vs face) at Wrestlemania. Have they ever had the same match headline wrestlemania twice in back to back years?

I don't know why people keep saying that Reigns is inexperienced. I watched a couple of his matches and he's very smooth in the ring also very powerful. Future world champ right there.

If I recall correctly, HHH/Cena was supposed to headline WM23 again, but Hunter's injury transformed the match into HBK/Cena. Other than that, not that I'm aware. I know HBK/Taker was a highlight of Mania twice in a row, but was only on last once. Taker/HHH of course didn't go on last either time.

I don't understand those who are bashing the creative team for "ripping off" Nexus and the nWo when in pertains to The Shield. If anything, all they did was take the best elements from either group to create what I think is a fresh way to debut their top 3 prospects. For the most part, the nWo consisted of established names and the whole presmise was to take over and control the company. Nexus, while exciting at first was a group of their top 8 (or 10?) prospects at the time. Even if you ignore the fact Cena wrongfully burried the faction before they could make a real impact, I think the number of members might have hurt the concept since many were lost in the shuffle after said burrial. Sadly, their "Bigger Picture" was never revealed but it's safe to say their intensions were not to shield injustice but rather, make a name for themselves by gunning after the top guy.

The biggest problem with the nexus is that most of them were shit

(Without counting The New Nexus)

Daniel Bryan: World Heavyweight Champion/Main Eventer
Skip Sheffield/Ryback: Main Eventer
Wade Barrett: Brink of Main Event
David Otunga: Tag Team Champion/Mid-carder
Heath Slater: Tag Team Champion/Mid-carder
Justin Gabriel: Tag Team Champion/Mid-carder
Darren Young: Mid-carder
Michael Tarver: Released

Basically what this list tells me is that they could have gotten away with having Bryan, Barrett, and Sheffield as the only members of Nexus(barring Bryan's temporary release and Sheffield's injury) and the angle probably would have lasted longer and/or been more significant. My point is that it's obvious they are using the nWo or The Nexus as a basis of comparison for The Shield. If they weren't at first, Ambrose changed that in the interview just by mentioning them.

It's too easy to be negative, especially for a fan of professional wrestling. I think it takes more guts to look at something with a positive mind and end up being wrong than it does to play it safe just so you can say "I told you so".

I know many people think that the IWC overreacts about these three and maybe it's true, but this stable is so damn refreshing. And to be honest, so is Ryback. The most recent ending to Raw was epic, minus all the random camera angles that kept fucking everything up.

I think why it's so refreshing was the final scene. It isn't about Cena anymore. Or Big Show. Or Sheamus. It's about three young up and comers and a brand new main event star in Ryback. The reaction that Shield gets is probably better than anybody in WWE had hoped for, and Ryback is finally getting a huge pop whenever he comes around. I have floor seats for TLC with my girlfriend, and judging by the reaction he got in NJ, it should be even louder in Brooklyn this Sunday.

My favorite part is that Shield didn't back down whatsoever from Ryback. Yeah, Ryback threw a ladder at their face but they didn't run. They are what they say they are. They will fight you and that's the end of it. I'm sure the Ambrose/Joker comparison has been done to death over the last 200 pages, but when Ryback's music hit, you see a brief glimpse of Ambrose turn around with his arms open, almost welcoming the challenge...much like Joker not budging and holding out his arms while Batman is rushing towards him on the Batpod in TDK. It was so refreshing to see a heel group that isn't afraid to fight.

Ambrose turned around, all three were basically inviting Ryback into the ring. It was an awesome ending, I loved it.
