I actually liked Reigns as well in the interview when before I was adamant he was awful...he is the powerhouse of the group and in turn will be the strongest out of the group

Ambrose - The Voice
Reigns - The muslce
Rollins - the athlete (Not sure)
Heyman/Punk - The brain

I was very impressed with both the interview and the beatdown last night. Ambrose stood out for me the most speaking as you can already tell based on his mannerisms he's going to be the loose cannon of the group. Rollins did alright but his voice bothered me a little bit (maybe I'm prejudiced against the Iowa accent being a Wisconsinite) and he seemed a little unsure of himself. Reigns has been a pleasant surprise so far as he's looked good during the beatdowns and delivered his few lines perfectly.

What I really liked about last night, as I'm sure others have mentioned, is that they stood their ground when Ryback came out and brought the fight to him. It seems like we've been conditioned over the years to expect a heel group to bail when a powerhouse face comes out so that's been a nice change of pace. It's probably too early for this but I'd love to see a Shield vs. Danielson/Kane/Ryback match next week since I've yet to see Reigns work.

Ambrose's mannerisms reminded me of Joker a little bit. The way he was waiting for Cole to respond and the way he said nope and shook his head. It didn't come off as demented as someone said it just came off as unstable.

I was marking big time.

I think they've all impressed me with the interview, and I'm happy with the way the characters have been portrayed based on their natural personas.

You've got Dean Ambrose - everyone is assuming that because he's an excellent talker, he'll be the brains of the outfit. However, he's more deranged and the biggest heel in the group, seemingly unpredictable and the way he was ferociously attacking Ryback suggests that he wants to cause trouble all the time.

Then, the actual brains, Seth Rollins - the way he talked suggested a more calculated, calmer persona. Still aggressive and evil, but he seems like the most sympathetic and reasonable one in the group.

And, of course, Roman Reigns - didn't think much of him at first, but when he first spoke, people took notice the most. He's not just a big muscle guy, he's intense and intimidating. He wants to make people feel uneasy, reminds me a bit of Brock Lesnar's stuff earlier this year.

If I had to predict what was cause the group to disintegrate, I'd bet Rollins would break away from the sadistic ways of Ambrose and the violent ways of Reigns.

I watched Raw last night with a cousin of mine who is a big TV wrestling fan but not a member of the IWC. He watches Raw, Smackdown, Impact, and Main Event but could care less about anything that is not on TV indies locals etc......here was our interaction during The Shield interview.

When they first showed the three sitting there he said "dang, dude is big look at his arms" he was talking about Reigns. I said yeah he's big he's the brother of Rosey he said "yeah I can see the family resemblance."


I said this Ambrose guy is a good talker. He said "He looks like a wimp I could probably beat him up."

When Reigns said I'll talk when I'm ready to talk. He said "Dude might be cold"

When Reigns said I got something to say we've said enough this interview is over he said "dude just told them to roll out"\

So take those comments for what their worth. Basically, a diss on Ambrose because of look. No talk of Rollins. Reigns seem to dominate the conversation.
