Based on both promos last night, the angle that they seem to be running with is Roman got handed a shot, but he still has to prove himself on the big stage without the help of anyone. I can't imagine the pressure of delivering on an angle where the story matches reality so well and I hope that Roman can do it because I like him and I'm not going to root for a lovely Wrestlemania. It also gave me hope that all three Shield members got airtime on a show that only bothered to have the top stars. Dean'a going to Mania! Positivity Patrol 4 Life.

Just watched rumble. Not gonna bother with raw. I'm done, thanks for the memories etc. Thank God I didn't sink a tenner on the Rumble, good lord. If friend has a mania party I'll probably attend that but I haven't enjoyed a whole show since Mania 30 and if they won't bother then neither shall I. Roman loving Reigns jesus christ.

I just wish that they had altered the end of the rumble so you're left with Ambrose, Reigns, Wyatt and Bryan. I know the idea was supposed to be THE AUTHORITY but gently caress it. Just have Bryan/Ambrose/Reigns take them out and then have the three of them battle at the end. I know WWE likes to take the most difficult path to anything, but there were much better ways of getting Reigns over than that. Let Reigns scrape the win, given the idea that the angle they're pushing is that he still has to prove himself it feeds right into that. Though, giving the crowd were booing his entrance, I'm not entirely sure how it would've gone down.

God drat I laughed my rear end off when Bryan basically said "wouldn't it have been great if at Wrestlemania it was the undefeated champion who never lost his title vs the unstoppable monster? David vs Goliath? Ah well"

I hope the Casket Match ends with Show and Kane putting Bryan in a casket, and then putting Ambrose, Ziggler, and Wyatt in separate caskets also. Really hammer home that Rumble message.

So was anyone actually pacified by the horseshit last night? Like did anyone here think Reigns promo salvaged him or the constant pandering (did you know he's the Rock's cousin?) struck a nerve with them?

The first Roman interview was pretty bad, but he did well in the segment with Heyman and Lesnar. I hope we eventually get a Reigns/Sheamus program because those matches could be fun.

They really need to build some heels up in the next two months, because after Roman wins at Mania he's not going to have Heyman to carry him in the feuds that follow. Honestly I think they can get through to mania carried by Paul's slight of hand and charisma, but what follows is going to be rough as hell.

Roman's first promo was fine. It didn't sell me on anything, but it was just totally fine. He talked like a normal dude instead of reciting lovely lines from a lovely scripted promo. He just sounded more comfortable. At the end, Heyman (as expected) was incredible and sold the match better than Roman or Brock did at any point during the show. Heyman is just incredible.

It's essentially a gambit by the WWE, that the Philly Crowd was hyper smarky. And while other crowds probably wanted Daniel to win too, they are no where near as sour on Reigns as a Philly(any North East)/Chicago crowd would be. So I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a fair amount of cheers once they get back into the heartlands of america. Reigns is still nowhere near as bad as Batista was when he came back. Batista couldn't give a face promo to save his life. Reigns can, you just want him to be short direct and to the point.

It will be interesting to see if he's forced to go through the same Kane rite-of-passage that every other new champion is. That will be confirmation on if the Kane feud is just something for guys they don't have much invested in to do or if they genuinely think it's a good program to be in.

Dexo posted:Gonna be a spear hitting his "broken" rib. This would work if the match was at Fast Lane and not Mania. Two months to heal a broken rib is normal for average people and probably half that for a super-athlete such as Brock. But of course this is what will happen because there's no other way to make Brock believably take a pin.

Himuro posted:lmao at WWE fans falling for the damage control due to Raw. loving battered wives over here. Nope, I just honestly think that Reigns will be fine so long as they stop scripting him like Cena Jr. Or rather Rock the Third. His Ring stuff has gotten much much better since getting that Hernia fixed. He's not going to be carrying people to 4 star matches like a Bryan could. But with someone like Brock who is willing to sell his rear end off and carry a match it should be solid(whether solid is good enough for the Main Event of a WM is a great question...) At Fast Lane have him just beat the ever living poo poo out of the Big Show. 5 minute squash match.

In an assuredly non-tin-foil hat sort of way, I still think they're at least laying a bare foundation for some sort of angle, with both Bryan and Roman directly addressing the family thing. But mostly I base this on history showing that these things can change. The mostly likely reason to me seems to be, it gives them time to get a clearer picture of Bryan's health, and if it seems to be positive, they can go one way or another. I'm still in the camp that, if they view Reigns as the next Cena, they should do what the actual Cena can't, and veer heel. He's absolutely in a place where that at least has an opportunity to work, just due to the current confluence of events. Whether he, as a performer, could pull it off, is up to him. It'd also give separate, valid reasons for both Ambrose and Rollins to hate him; either another person turning his back on them, or trying to supplant him as the Authority's chosen one, respectively. So if you really want to make him the next "guy", he's got two ready made fueds with capable guys.
