jaedmc Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 w/ ROLLINS vs. TEAM HELL NO LA SOMBRA(The One in Black and White) vs. EL VOLADOR(The Blue One) 1
jaedmc Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 La Sombra is a pretty cool fucking name if you ask me. 1
JRGoldman Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I have liked what youtube has to offer on Sombra, but you could probably count on one hand the number of guys that could believably pull off the Royal Rumble performance.
Dewar Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Yeah, La Sombra got a tough draw here. I'd vote him over either of the guys in quite a few matches, but not over Roman.
Matt D Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Has anyone made that animated gif with all the Street Fighter graphics for the punch the ground set up for the superman punch yet?
thecubsfan Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Sombra's not going to advance, but he did the impossible and pulled a really good match out of Dragon Rojo this past Sunday - www.dailymotion.com/video/x1efcbr - which makes him a winner in my heart.
cubbymark Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I'll have to check out Sombra: Miracle Worker against that piece of shit Dragon Rojo. Sombra won the biggest mask of his career and had a brief run as New Japan IC Champion this year. Reigns, while he does his three moves well and oozes charisma, still isn't at the level where he can carry a match on his own. Much like Bray Wyatt, his tag partners cover up his very obvious flaws as a singles dude.
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Roman is pretty clearly going to be in the future in WWE, which is great, because La Sombra is tops right dang now.
jaedmc Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 while he does his three moves well C'mon. Don't be that guy.
Craig H Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I'd say that Roman does just about everything well. We had a discussion on here awhile back about working for the cheap seats and how Cena is the master of that. I'd say Daniel Bryan is in that conversation as well, but Roman is getting to that point. Any time that dude is in the ring, I am captivated.
SirSmUgly Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 What I saw of La Sombra made him seem like a good wrestler! However, Reigns has been in about eight or ten great trios matches plus that awesome Rumble performance, so I'm going with him.
GojiColin Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 La Sombra vs Shinsuke Nakamura, IWGP IC Title La Sombra vs Volador Jr IWGP IC Title
scraylo187 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 while he does his three moves well C'mon. Don't be that guy. He lost me at 'Rowan covering for Bray not being a good worker' 1
scraylo187 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Roman, much like Bray, is one of the first guys in ages that makes me sit the hell up and pay attention. D-Bry doesn't even do that all the time, though it probably has more to do with being a spoiled kid that knows he's going to get amazing daniel bryan stuff so he doesn't appreciate it' syndrome.
DylanWaco Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I don't hate Sombra, though he's not really my favorite kind of Lucha worker. I honestly don't recall a single match or performance out of him in the last twelve months that I thought was better than pretty good, though I recognize that some people absolutely loved the Volador Jr. match. Honestly there are (literally) 64 luchadores I like better than him in the relevant period. Meanwhile Reigns is probably one of my three or four favorite guys in wrestling, a guy who's natural charisma can carry him even when he gets a bit lost on offense, a guy who made the spear not look shitty again, a guy who mastered the art of the slugfest an exceeded all of our expectations for him, a guy who made the crowd go "oh shit, here we go!" when he stepped into the ring with....Titus O'neil. So yeah, Reigns wins this for me easy.
Goodear Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I've watched all of three Sombra matches (so I am clearly the foremost expert in La Sombra) and in every one he did a 'missed lionsault into a backflip splash' pin for one of the first two falls. It was like 'Why do people trying to keep powerbombing Kidman?' all over again.
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Roman Reigns is on par with Bryan for being "The Best Hot Tag in Wrestling" right now, which is amazing, since the SHIELD have only really been faces since, what the show after the Rumble?
JonnyLaw Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Sombra's not going to advance, but he did the impossible and pulled a really good match out of Dragon Rojo this past Sunday - www.dailymotion.com/video/x1efcbr - which makes him a winner in my heart. This past Sunday isn't in the voting period. Reigns' awesome six-man matches are.
cubbymark Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 while he does his three moves wellC'mon. Don't be that guy. I got to stick up for Sombra. Yes, he's going to lose. But he will go down in battle like Richard III.
RIPPA Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I think jae was more refering to you saying Reigns only had 3 moves.
DylanWaco Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I'm just upset no one asked me to name the 64 luchadores i like better than Sombra
