Re: Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns Discussion Thread

I agree with you about the no leader thing. Why does everyone assume there has to be a leader of a group of only 3 people. What, where one guy is in charge of 2 other guys. Why can't they just be three people brought together by a common belief?

I liked Ambrose in that backstage segment, he delivered his lines well and showed potential. I haven't seen much of him outside of WWE, but a few promos I've seen of his has been great. Rollins was meh, wasn't bad at all though, and Reigns showed some pretty good intensity. I was hoping for an in ring promo but I guess this'll do fine for now. Looking forward to seeing more of this group, particualarly Ambrose in the coming weeks, hopefully more promo time for him.

Reminded me of a 8 year old explaining why he punched his brother or sister.
Seriously could of done heaps better then that

I mean this in a no-**** sort of way, but Reigns looks like a boss in a suit + sunglasses. You can picture him walking down to the ring with the WWE title.

Don't get the heat on Rollins. To me he sounded a bit like CM Punk, albeit without the extra 'swag' that Punk has. Hopefully that will come.

huge endorsement from Mick Foley for Ambrose

"You have no idea how relieved I am to see @theDeanAmbrose on Raw," Foley wrote. "He's going to be a major player in WWE for a long time to come."

this guy has so many people backstage etc who support him. its really good to hear.

Learn the difference between receding hairline and a tall forehead. It is a sign of intelligence and cunning. While receding hairline is a sign of weakness and inability to control the things going on around you. Ambrose does most certainly not have a receding hairline, or is "balding" as a person like you would say.

Cool. Plenty of time then.

I really hope they don't turn Reigns into a power-house, Batista type guy. He isn't THAT big/strong. Sure he can do a few power moves but I think having that gimmick will restrict him.

I'd like to see them have a few more team-moves. The powerbomb is cool (though looks poor on Ryback because he's so un-athletic), but some other combo's would be sweet.

Had a look at their finishers (never watched NXT). Really like the rock bottom-esque move from Reigns. Can't make my mind up whether I like or hate Rollins' move. I can't see it getting over tbh.

Jim Ross on The Shield:

Ambrose:
Ambrose has a little Roddy Piper and Brian Pillman traits in him or so it seems to me. His FCW/NXT bout a few months ago with @RealKingRegal was stellar. I called it with Dusty Rhodes and we had a blast. Ambrose is a blue chip stock and is arguably the most 'unpredictable' of the three. Perhaps 'complex' is an adequate word to describe Ambrose at this point in time.
Rollins:
Rollins reminds me of @CMPunk in some areas of Rollins' game or at least the formative CM Punk of a few years ago. I perceive that as a good thing. Rollins is an Iowa kid who has a sound, skill set, confidence, toughness and is the current NXT Champion. He has a natural swagger and wrestles with a chip on his shoulder which I embrace.
Reigns:
Reigns is a former Georgia Tech nose tackle and has reshaped his body from 300+ to 260ish and is of Samoan decent, father is WWE HOFer Sika, and at times has reminded me of @TheRock when I first inked 'The Great One' to his WWE contract. In that I mean the obvious heritage matter but also the physical frame, intellect, and overall, natural athleticism. We can only hope that Roman Reigns can approach The Rock's accomplishments inside the squared circle some day. Only time will tell if that lofty goal can be reached but Reigns can be special. Watch someone interpret what I just said as being that JR is predicting Roman to be the next Rock. Hey, I wish.

All 3:
These three young men have made a viable impact thus far in their WWE journey and I'm hopeful that their aggression and the controversy that they have created continues on RAW. I'll be curious to see how patient the WWE Universe will be in each man's development as these three move forward in what is a deliberate, time consuming process to reach the top of the card and, more importantly, to stay there.

It will also be interesting to see how much ownership Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns take of their TV personas and how much they are each willing to invest daily to get better. Each must improve in all phases of the game but I'm of the belief that each can be "significant players" aka main eventers in time.

I haven't seen any posts arguing this point...nothing in the dialogue of that promo indicates a 'heel' faction, in fact the terminology 'Shield of Justice', etc., could be considered babyface material. Is it a sign of differing times (how we the audience view the concepts presented) or are we going to be swerved if these guys turn out to be something other than villains?
 
#978 ·
IMO, in this time, there is nothing that "defines" a heel clearly, it's all in the viewers perception. If CM Punk wasn't insulting the crowd, and just moved on with the story line, i doubt he would ever get booed, although he's feuding with the company's top baby-faces. In the past, if you step into the ring with a top babyface, you're instantly a 'heel'

Here's something that i just thought of while browsing twitter..

The controversy on WWE POLL (Bryan vs Kane)

"Daniel Bryan TWITTER ACCOUNT"
‏@WWEDanielBryan: Hmmm... I smell corruption! "This week: #WWEBryan 585 - 408 #WWEKane http://hashtagbattle.com/#battle/w/#WWEBryan/#WWEKane … via @hashtagbattle
"AJ Lee TWITER ACCOUNT"

@WWEAJLee: Some controversy over Vickie’s RawActive Poll. These things never happened when I was GM.
"WWE UNIVERSE TWITTER ACCOUNT"

@WWEUniverse: Apparently, @TheShieldWWE voted for #WWEBryan! #RAW #RAWActive

Now to my point, and how The Shield are involved in this?

I am thinking that the rigged poll is actually part of a story-line, where the shield are involved with Paul Heyman. This whole 'rigged poll' is going to put a mark on Vickie Guerrero's head as she is committing "injustice", then somehow, they're gonna get Paul Heyman as RAW GM.

PS. I think Paul Heyman using the word "injustice" in his promo last week was kind of giving a hint ;)

What do you guys think?
