Seth Rollins is the only Shield member who has anything close to a total package of mic work, ring work, and look

Nah, Roman is better.

I need the Vince McMahon bodybuilding reactions GIF edited with SHOOOOOOT moments and that would be my feeling when I click this thread this month.

I mean Roman has pulled nonstop solid matches. Neither Seth or Roman are good on the mic, and they both have decent looks.

It backfires when he says to tell him how HHH's dick tastes.

Why does he want to know?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

mmmmhmmm

I always ask and never seem to get an answer: Who is that and how badly was he injured (if at all)?

I think Seth is better than Roman on the mic.

When was the last time Seth forgot a line on camera?

While true, I can't help but think that Roman has a number of memorable moments during promos under his belt than Seth has. If I'm being honest, and I'm probably the biggest Rollins mark here, I can only remember "I need to fight you to fight for the man i used to be" promo against HHH at Mania and the Sting statue moment.

I can remember more Roman moments and neither Rollins nor Dean has anything on that "This is my yard" line after the crowd boos him for 5 minutes RAW after Mania.

Hell no.

Rollins has an edge. I dont buy the Roman shtick because I'm positive even roman doesnt. Roman lacks the killer edge or a mean streak in his characters presentation. in terms of character, he is the nia jax of the male roster and thats a shoot. He is the least intimidating "Big DAWG" I have ever seen.

Reigns promo style isn't a killer streak or mean strick or intimidation.

He's a smug prick.

I took the day off to have a 4 day weekend. Now I'm inside my house that doesn't have central AC. I worked myself into a shoot I should have went to work with the free AC.

Just play it cool and go into work like George Costanza after he quit.

Nah, you love the Bucks. I know the truth!

Hopefully this is an indication of an impending Hiromu & BUSHI run with the Jr. tag titles.

Roman is a billion times better than Nia.

Ayup, its how I'd rate them.

I do think they work way better as a trio (or a duo with Roman going to the Usos). Also, Seth is a horrible horrible face, just seems like such a tryhard.

I am so mad at my former friend Fox318 for the thread title.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I do think Roman is on a trajectory to get to another level after that Cena promo, which, when we as fans see something like that transpire, our reaction is "Ohhhhh shit!!". In reality, that promo was a passing the torch moment if I've ever seen one. Roman needed to be put in that spot to fuck up so he can know what it feels like, figure out how to keep up, and come back and deliver after he figures it out. Learning on the job if you will. I think he'll do it and he has Cena to thank for it as only Cena can do to him what was done the other night. Theoretically, Roman should be a better promo here on out.

The guy has just been getting better since Mania. No more Jack and the Beanstalk promos.

 

[El-Suave]

Seth has better delivery than Roman but his lines are just as horrible - babyface Seth pandering to the crowd was awful. At least Reigns has a chance to look cool to some people with his corny lines about yards and dogs.

Meletzer just posted the leaked "work shoot" promo Roman is going to cut next week:

John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because before you leave in three weeks to film a Transformers movie, I have a lot of things I wanna get off my chest.

I don’t hate you, John. I don’t even dislike you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate… this idea… that you’re THE GUY… because you’re not. I’m THE GUY. I’m the best GUY in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am, and that’s kissing internet fan’s asses. You’re as good at kissing internet fan’s asses as Daniel Bryan was! I don’t know if you’re as good as Phil… he’s a pretty good ass-kisser… always was and still is. Oops… I’m breaking the fourth wall. [Roman waves to the camera.] I am the best… BIG DOG… in the world. I’ve been the best ever since Day One when I walked into this company, and I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Vince McMahon saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Vince McMahon guy. You know who else was a Vince McMahon guy? Randy Orton… and he was THE GUY, just like I’m THE GUY, but the biggest difference between me and RANDY is that I’m going to main event my 4th Wrestlemania next year.

I’ve grabbed so many of the Internet Sports Entertainment Community’s imaginary brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that they’re just that. They’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me, and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I’ve proved to everybody in the world that I am the best GUY, the best BIG DOG, and that this is MY YARD. Nobody can touch me. And yet, no matter how many times I prove it, I’m not on your lovely podcasts, I’m not on the cover of the PWI 500, I’m barely praised for my promo ability or in ring psychology, I don’t get any YOU DESERVE IT chants, I’m not on any crappy show on the WWE Network, I’m not on the poster of the NeoGAF Wrasslin OT, I’m not on the signature that’s produced at the start of the Live Audio Wrestling show. I’m not on Dave Meltzer, I’m not on John Pollock, but the fact of the matter is I should be, and trust me, this isn’t sour grapes, but the fact that “Okada” has three 6 star matches and I don't makes me sick!

Oh hey, let me get something straight, those of you who are booing me right now… you are just as big a part of me being THE GUY as anyone else, because you’re the ones watching NXT, you’re the ones that buy those Observer subscriptions that my matches don't get five stars on, and then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face thinking you can get an autograph and sell it on eBay because you’re too lazy to get a real job.

I’m leaving No Mercy Pay Per View Live on the WWE Network as THE GUY and hell, who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in NXT… maybe I’ll go back to RAW… [Roman waves to the camera again] hey, Seth Rollins, how you doing? The reason I’m THE GUY is you people, because after I’m THE GUY you’re still going to pour money into this company — I’m just a spoke on the wheel — the wheel’s gonna keep turning. And I understand that… that Vince McMahon’s gonna make money despite the Internet Sports Entertainment Community… he’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire… you know why he’s not a billionaire? It’s because he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical douchebag indie wrestlers like Shinsuke Nakamura, who’s gonna go out there and put the audience to sleep with his work rate and strong style… and I’d like to think that maybe this company will be better after the indies DIE, but the fact is it’s gonna get taken over by New Japan specialists or doofus TNA trademarked gimmicks and the rest of those stupid Bullet Club members.

Let me tell you a personal story about John Cena. You know we do this whole Make a Wish campaign?

And it only took every resource the company fucking has, gimmick match upon gimmick match to hide his gigantic in-ring weaknesses and a promo every week for 3 years to take him to a level slightly above Sheamus.

Great work all round.
