*sniff* Mama's so proud. :bateman

Honestly, Reigns is my fav *cough*avatar*cough* but I don't care who pinned Cena. The point is the mutherfucker got pinned and it was his own damn fault for being Super Cena. It wasn't Ryback's doing, it wasn't because of Brickie who tried to stop him. It was because he had to overcome the odds that he went out there on an injured, sorry 'hurt' ankle and lost. :D

The Shield serves no purpose.

The Shield as a group are good wrestlers with high charisma. However, what's the point of them? To correct injustices? I don't see a lot of that happening. All I see them is covering up plotholes and being used as scapegoats for when WWE does not get their way.

So they've been built up as some sort of super team that is a cohesive unit that operate exceptionally well. Okay, great. Now what. They're boring at the moment. WWE creative is doing nothing with them.

THE BIGGER PICTURE.

Some people have lost the ability to look past next week and are so impatient when it comes to story arcs and plot. I know it's WWE after all, but fucking come on.

The are the best thing since Punks promo in 2011.

Re: The Shield serves no purpose.

Pretty much what I think of The Shield ^
And? You don't like three high quality young performers getting a big push? That's too bad.
You want to know what the point of the Shield is? The point is they are getting a push. That's the point.
This is no more than CM Punk's promos about "respect", even though he'd been given respect in the first, babyface half of his reign. It's just a buzzword to keep them going, the real deal with the Shield, is they are three young talents that WWE sees big things for, and they are getting a strong push right out of the gate.

What's the Shield's motivation? Well, to take over WWE. Not in an nWo way, in a wrestling way. They want to be at the top of the card, and all who are in their way are treated as an injustice (to be standing in front of the future). Simple stuff.

It's being taken slowly, beucase its their introductory gimmick, and HHH (for whom the Shield is a pet project) likes long term builds for upcoming superstars (see Evolution for that). The eventual outcome will be for Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns to split into singles careers while already being established as major players.

The Shield is the most overrated wrestlers of 2013 so far. a lot of smarks are on their dicks while they're so bland, boring, pointless and always cut terrible promos. only good in the ring.
Do we need to do this crude, childish way of arguing every time? People enjoy the Shield? "hurr they're on their dicks", "they're jizzing over them", it sounds like a teenager attacking people because they enjoy something.

Where are all these other phantom promos that are superior to the Shield's? You say they're "overrated" for promos, so clearly there are others doing better work that should be rated higher? Them being...?

Reigns has that natural look of greatness. I'm a fan of all 3 but Reigns is, in my eyes, the most intense and the most violent. You really can't go wrong with any of them, however if it were my choice, I'd take Reigns.

Re: The Shield serves no purpose.

I was never the greatest fan of the group, but they are ok.
It would work so much better for them if there was a more coherent reasoning behind their attacks, attacking Ryback made no sense in the whole "injustice" department because he is newish to the roster and not been around to commit all these "injustices" they accuse the older workers of. It is basically a rehash of the Legend Killer Orton and the time Jericho went off on that tangent of attacking those same folks.

Re: The Shield serves no purpose.

Omg, seriously? Then what the fuck serves a purpose? You wanna talk about how CM Punk serves no purpose, too? Did Stone Cold serve a purpose? How about the Rock, why did he exist, I mean, come on, to be a comedian?

Punk is my all-time favorite. Ambrose cuts better promo's.

Re: The Shield serves no purpose.

Seriously, though, be objective. I don't like Orton or Barrett all that much, but I know they're awesome, because they're half-decent and have huge followings. You can't have that much deference to the Shield given their fan support? As someone else here said, if their promo's are overrated, where are the phantom promo's that are better? Even Roman Reigns is doing FAR BETTER than when he first showed up, and pretty damn good for a rookie already.

The Shield is original, threatening, they make an impact every week. They serve as much of a purpose as anyone: they're not waiting for their turn, and they're not good enough on their own, so they're teaming up to destroy all the stars in their way. I don't know if you noticed this, but they've made six-man tag matches EXTREMELY entertaining. I seriously cannot emphasize how incredible that is. WHEN they win the tag belts they'll make them relevant again. The way they work together as a gimmick is just awesome. Yeah, yeah, other guys have done this before, shove it, it SEEMS original, so its awesome. If Shield isn't original, then nothing is.

Re: The Shield serves no purpose.

I agree with the OP they just come out a beat ppl up and have to use 3 men to do a powerbomb? I haven't seen them fix 1 injustice?? They attacked the undertaker for god sake?? Would anyone say the dead man has ever done any of us an injustice? NO!!! Stop the shield!!
