Finally after months of anticipation the Ambrose-Foley storyline makes it to TV. Hopefully they follow through with this and it wasn't a one-time thing.

It was a nice promo, Ambrose was good as always. Reigns was hilarious, but definitely needs to bring up the intensity. He's a big, scary guy...Reigns needs to use that in every aspect of his character.

As for Rollins it seems like he's still attempting to find a good tone in which to deliver his lines. First interview it was calm, second promo it was intense, then it was angry. He's trying to find his place and I think he's much better when he's talking calmly because it fits his character in the group of being the one who's leveled headed.

As I'm sure you already know this is merely an opinion and not the truth. It does seem like whenever a group of people praise someone on the mic, there's always that one who deems them overrated. Just from my experience on the forums.

I'd disagree by saying he is fantastic in his delivery and what he says, because he understands his character and how to portray it to the audience, Moxley/Ambrose is smart and you can tell that by watching him. The movements just add to his character of being an unstable sadist.

It's interesting you say he's overrated on the mic because I'd venture to say it's the main reason he's in this company right now, because while he is talented in the ring his strength is obviously in his talking.

At let's be honest, at the end of the day all these wrestlers are cartoon characters.

It really looks like Reigns is just going to be the muscle of the group. When they do go their separate ways I see him ending up like Mason Ryan. Which, sucks because he does have a good look going for him. He sort of reminds me of a Samoan Bradshaw.

Just saw the promo. Thought it was real good and of course I'd rank it Dean,Seth and Reigns again. Roman is great when hitting a surprise spear and I love his roars but it just seems like Dean and Seth are lightyears ahead of him when it comes to mic work. Yes I understand the promo experts on here say Seth sounds forced or is terrible but ive felt every promo he has done has been good to very good.

I really hope this trio does something different like have a match on Raw. its a crime they havent been giving anything major after their huge win.

Ambrose is great, Rollins is good and Reign is average. Roman has a great look and he is Anoi but he has a weak ring and mic skills...

The guy thinks Kofi Kingston is really good at delivering promos. Not worth your time explaining that what Ambrose can do is factual when he's slated as really, really great.

He's still trying to find his voice as a villain. But he's not bad.

As always, Dean carries the day on the mic. But this promo, everybody was pretty good. I think Roman is learning, day by day, from these two.

The fruition of all that teasing with Mick Foley was pretty sweet.



Was it as good for y'all?
