  1. Does anyone actually think Roman sucks anymore? The dude has had a really great year. (And WWE career.)

    Well I don't think he sucks, but I don't view him as a particularly good worker or anything. I mean, I'm not expecting him to be a Kawada-esque super worker, but the Last Man Standing match with Big Show clearly exposed him as a guy needs smoke and mirrors to have a good match.
    Well I suppose could point to the Daniel Bryan match, but who couldn't have a good match with Bryan?

    Then there's him looking like a genuinely sympathetic underdog at Mania. But once again, who couldn't produce results against a legit killer like Brock?

    There's his entertaining turns at Payback and MITB, especially as the highlight-reel producing monster of this year's MITB match. But hiding in a crowd is easy.

    I loved his hoss-off with Wyatt. But if Ryback can do the same thing well, it can't require that much skill.

    I'd point to the similarly fun TV hoss-offs versus Harper and Sheamus in recent weeks and months, but why bother? The trend is clear: Roman is poopy. Nothing but smoke and mirrors.

  2. "You get a big reaction from a crowd like that in Abu Dhabi and I wonder how do these people in Abu Dhabi know who I am? It is hard for me to understand I am on television and people around the world watch me every week in a country I have never even been too."

    I'm sure Piranesi has more insight into Ambrose's state of mind.

  3. We all agree that Roman stole Bryan's Mania spot, right?

     

    In that case, I suggest the admins take their penchant for causing the board to replace certain words or phrases (as evidenced by their love for Thanksgiving sides) and put it to good use: Roman Reigns = Turd Burglar. 

  4. "I'm gonna hit my move!" and "I hit my move!" are proof positive that no matter what they say, Big Show's still the king.

     

    Amen. Stop lumping him in with Kane, dammit!

     

    Loved Truth on commentary. A shame that all this fun will run into the same pitfalls as Truth's awesome Little Jimmy run in 2011: He's eventually going to have to wrestle. Having seen Truth have flat matches with Punk, Cena, and Mysterio during the hottest run of his life, I can't help but approach everything he does with a predisposition towards negativity. Can anyone remember a good R-Truth match? Elimination Chambers, Royal Rumbles, and clusters where he gets to hide obviously don't count. 

  5. He'll reclaim it eventually, I think. I mean, people started using the Crippler Crossface again and that has a way worse association. Or maybe he could evolve and get a new finish. I'm not sure he could use the GtS well on the main roster.

     

    In defence of reissuing the crossface within a year of Benoit's death, even WWE crowds aren't low down enough to really get behind a Benoit chant. 

  6.  If anything this push of Roman has made people respect Cena more because we all know at least with Cena we'll get a good money promo, and a good ppv match.

     

    You'd be surprised. Even in 2015, we don't all know that. 

     

    Ambrose gets to work one of his Sandman tribute matches on the big stage, right? That's all I really want.
