Niners Fan in CT Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Rollins promos are good enough. I look at him like I look at Daniel Bryan. They are maybe a 6 or 7 on promos but they are two of the best wrestlers in the world and I can buy either of them hanging with anyone including Lesnar. That's why I place Rollins above Reigns right now. To be honest, I need to see some better matches out of Ambrose too. I know he can do it but we haven't seen too many of them yet.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Never thought about it but Brock vs Haku might be a dream match for me. But who wins? Is it a 'fuck me all, let god sort it out' situation? Brock vs. Haku. We all win. 1

Ned Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Anyone else getting a Lex Express-vibe with how desperate Vince is to make Reigns the top guy, all the way to the crowd being MEH about it (thus far)? Least when they built up Batista, folks loved him and were drooling for him to beat HGH's ass....
Charlie M. Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 So, after watching Raw, and mainly seeing that segment with Roman, Brock and Heyman, I got a huge feeling that they're going to have Heyman double cross Brock at WM. Heyman does this whole spiel about how he knows Roman's family, his history, and how much respect he has for them. He then gets into talking about how the Rock ruled the land, just like Brock does now, but Rock was going to run into Brock and that time with Rock on top would be over. To me, it seemed like Heyman was foreshadowing what would happen at WM. More than that, considering Heyman is an agent, it sounded like Heyman's recruitment pitch. Roman is the new Cena. With that comes the feeling that he's obviously going to turn followed by no chance in hell of it actually happening.
pipGofern Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Except I don't think Roman has reached Cena's level of being worshiped by impressionable young children. In fact, I'd say his fan base is probably more women than kids at this point - and they'll still like him whether he's a heel or a face. I've thought all along the only saving grace about this Roman push is that while he's Samoan John Cena, at least he's a John Cena that can still be turned.
Matt D Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I wish there was a side scrolling Beat Em Up arcade game with Brock fighting Samoans. 1
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I get that. I just don't think he's projecting a character. I think he really is trying to convince everyone how tough he is... such a mark 2
piranesi Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The only way to beat Brock is to go on a long arduous journey into the dark mysterious world of Monster Trucks and bring back the head of Madusa to turn him to stone. Things you'll need: - A robot owl - A chin dimple the size of the rest of your head - That one girl from the old Nickelodeon version of BLACK BEAUTY to get naked - Ray Harryhausen back As far as I can tell, Roman has one of those things. 3

piranesi Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I would actually love to see Brock reacting to having that angle pitched to him. Actually I think I saw it last night: 1

Dolfan in NYC Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I would actually love to see Brock reacting to having that angle pitched to him. Actually I think I saw it last night: The cheek/lower-eyelid... god damn it, that's scary.
SirSmUgly Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Rollins is fine as a talker, but man, do they write some garbage for him. That twenty-minute HHH-circa-'03 stuff peppered with elevated vocabulary that people don't use when threatening each other with violence does him zero favors.
Go2Sleep Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 That Rollins/Lesnar interaction is pretty much what I've been hoping for since Brock won the gold. Rollins is so good at being "fake tough." Reigns actually looked serviceable by the end of the show. The blizzard is the best thing that could've happened for him, because that face-to-face would've looked a million times worse with audible "Let's go Lesnar," and "We want Bryan" chants in the background.
Stoychers Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Could they induct a Samoan group into the HOF and have Brock run the stage and F5 the living fuck out of them the night before Mania? That'd be fun too. Put an end to all the celebratory clapping and backpatting for a one-off angle would be a nice change of pace.

NikoBaltimore Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The blizzard as said before was the best thing to happen to Raw. It still would have been fairly hostile if they did this live, even in CT. But it'd do wonders to have a cool off period and hope things calm down Monday. Maybe it's best to keep Roman off SD tomorrow. Holy fuck Dean's segment was shades of Piranesi. The longer he went the more I laughed. I think I could read a long thread full of Piranesi-style Dean stories and Brock tall tales. The combination would undo any anger I'd have from the Rumble. So far it's been working.
JCM Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The funny thing about the booking of the Rumble match is the only guy who's going to be more over coming out of it is Bryan. I don't see the reaction dying down anytime soon. The fans know Roman is the handpicked golden boy, and they aren't going to accept having another Cena. It's going to be quite the standoff between Vince and the Universe.
Skeeball Wizard Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I went back and watched the WM 30 Shield/Kane NAO match/post match interview. Roman was over as fuck and came off as a total badass. In the post match he probably didn't say more than five words at a time. It worked, he sounded convinving, legitimate and intense. When are they going to figure out not every main eventer needs to deliver soliloquies? 1

I do enjoy a vindictive Vince telling Daniel he's gonna job to Zack Ryder in 30 seconds.....on Superstars
Patrick B. Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 "Look, this guy is HUGE on the Internet. Our hardcore fans love him." "Great," Creative responded. "Then we don't have to do shit with him ever." 2

"Then we don't have to do shit with him ever." Not sure if you're talking about Bryan or Ryder circa a couple years ago. But it works for both.
Patrick B. Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 It's pointless to support any person in wrestling. I know that the people I tend to enjoy are the ones that don't fit the WWE mold, so they're not likely to get past a certain point.
