Roman Reigns is not nearly as big or sexy or cool as Kevin Nash so I find this insulting.

But Roman Reigns is Samoan and Paul Heyman said he could beat up Bruno Sammartino, so that makes it OK.

Roman Reigns is perfectly fine in the ring. I can't in good faith tell you he's very good but I do believe that there's a lot of negativity towards him clouding peoples objectivity regarding his in ring performances.

i think the spear is a lame rear end finish and i think a punch is too but is it his fault he has those moves? well probably

He's very spot dependent for not being a huge guy. He's huffing, puffing and audibly wheezing in a very short period of time in most matches.

His spear is cool but that powebomb he did the other night should be his finisher

But I thought we wanted to not literally make him Kevin Nash, now you want his finisher to be a powerbomb?

I kinda liked Edge's, because it looked more like a really overbaked shoot in and takedown, instead of a tackle.

I'm definitely not hearing that at all. And he may have bad cardio at the moment, but it doesn't really seem to slow him down in the ring when he needs to make his moves for his fake comeback spots.

Either Chris didn't read up on anything about the whole poo poo on demott and realised that demott is a piece of poo poo or that he is trying to get away from the tweet he made eariler.

Yea I think if this wasn't, ya know, the fans looking at a WM headline by a dude being shoved down their throats aggressively people wouldn't be this nuts. I understand the annoyance but come on, the dude's a solid worker, he's just nowhere near WM Main Event level.

when has a company ever subtly pushed someone? I mean they generally don't have televised segments where the guy is referred to as the future face of the company handpicked by the powers that be ("The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett aside) but it's always incredibly obvious what's going on. Nobody just shows up one day as the company ace

That was Drew McIntyre's gimmick from day one, so of course he immediately became a midcarder.

Spears are dumb garbage they give to Nascar drivers to get a quick easy pop without them having to learn to wrestle. They are second only to the Knockout Punch on the dumb bad finisher spectrum.

It's like knocking a guy out cold with a Lou Thesz Press. Maybe use a test of strength spot as a finisher. Who gives a poo poo.

They never look cool as just a move in a wrestling ring. It's just getting a three foot running start and then sort of falling towards your opponent. Now if you're running full blast and blow up a guy or you spear someone into or off of something we can talk.
