great promo. Seth is improving although it irks me that he is taking too much of Ambrose's delivery. Apart from that he has improved a lot.
Ambrose is great as always. not much more to say on that.
Reigns needs A LOT of work. he sounds very monotonous which, although can sound threatening, to me comes off as boring. I do hope to see him improve, however.
I'm guessing the only reason he said more was because he was the NXT champ at the time. If they HAD a leader, and it was Ambrose, he would be saying A LOT more. Seth is still a turn-off when he yells or tries to emphasizes words, and it's going go take years for him to improve that.

I always end up laughing when he talks because the other two are so intense and passionate and he's just like "Eh, whatever". I take him a lot more seriously when he's screaming "GET UP FOOLS! THIS MAH TABLE NOW!"
Damn, that was a good promo. Rollins was awesome, I am sure he still won't get credit though on the mic due to the fact that people only ever seem to remember his early days. Ambrose gonna Ambrose, looking about 40 years old though!
Rollins did good and is improving tremendously imo. I think putting Seth along with Dean is a good way for him to improve his mic skills. Perhaps he's learning a thing or two from Dean which isn't a bad thing at all.
What was Ambrose trying to say? Is he trying to say that WWE shouldn't be nice and that those real world problems should happen or the WWE should be nicer? I was a little confused on that. Nonetheless, loved the passion Ambrose showed. That's what makes him so great. He always puts in emotion unlike Reigns :side:...but I think that's just his "gimmick". Least I hope it is. If not, then we may have some serious issues arising with his mic skills.
Yeah, the message got lost a little, Ambrose let that one snowball. He was trying to say the WWE is presenting itself in a happy-go-lucky way but that the real world isn't anything like that, and he thought the WWE should be more reflective of that rather than "smile away". Ambrose puts a lot of emotion into his promos because he brings his personal life into it. It's heartbreaking, actually.
There is nothing wrong with Reigns on the mic. He is just the muscle. It would be better if they didn't have him speak at all, but considering he goes crazy when he's wrestling (the shouting and roars he does), I suppose they just let him say a few words.
He just sounds so bland to me. Doesn't really show much emotion. Like I said, I figure that's his character and how they want to portray him during his time with the Shield but once he breaks apart, he is going to need to talk on his own and I'll be interested to see how he does with that.
Reigns is doing just fine. Having him rattle off monologues just like Ambrose and Rollins would make the promos more saturated and make each wrestler lose their identity. To be honest I think he'd be better off standing in the centre, slightly behind the shoulders of Ambrose and Rollins while they rant at the camera lens, with his arms crossed.
Lol at everyone complaining about Reigns just like how Ambrose said it: "FOR NO REASON AT ALL". When The Shield disband(which won't happen in a while due to all the injustices), they will all be put in their rightful places.
I am not actually complaining about his role currently. I am just interested to see how Reigns goes about speaking on his own after the Shield disbands. I am judging that off of what he is doing with them currently. I love how Reigns works as a big guy in this stable and it looks like he has good wrestling ability. The way he works with the Shield is fantastic but if Reigns were on his own, the mic skills wouldn't be all that impressive to me. With the Shield though, it works.
Dude, I 100% agree with you. Reigns skills aren't impressive at all to me right now, in fact I can tell you his mic skills are awful, because they are. However, his current gimmick in the group(being the muscle) is a good excuse for him to talk the way he does let alone not talk at all. Rollins needs to stop trying to emulate Ambrose's promos because it's not working out. He should talk less and be the guy who evily smiles and laughs while Ambrose does the talking. Like someone said in here, they each need to have their own role.
Something about the promo, though I only listened to it once, gave me an IWC feel. Like they were saying what some of us are thinking, where the WWE is dying/she's too nice/etc. It was a great promo once again, and it put a smile on my face. The Shield still going strong.
Great promo, always love the camera work. Its still Dean,Seth and Roman for me. I just enjoy Seth more than Roman atm. He just seems to have more character to him while Roman is almost like a robot. But thats his role in the Shield as the muscle so its good for now but curious to see what they do with him after they disband which hopefully isnt soon or in the near future.
Heading to work now. Who is Corey Graves? Is he a good talent that could help the Shield. kinda feel like 3 ppl is perfect for them.
Anyway, Rollins is sounding more credible on the mic, I really enjoyed it. Reigns is awesome, his ferocious style, his roars, he is doing great in his role of being the muscle. But he sounds horrible on the mic, he doesn't sound scary nor credible, keep him away from the mic, but I hope that he improves so that he can have a even great career.
The shield are truly amazing, I love their promos thus far.
And Ambrose is the best member, imo.
