A Spear is a running double leg. The Gore is a shoulder block.

roman is probably one of the worst workers wwe has on their roster.

wwe is not a wrestling company, they are sports entertainers bla bla bla

Tye Dillinger is the drizzling shits in the ring and I believe that the WWE Universe does the 10 thing because the fan base is in love with the smell of their own farts

Cesaro and Russev are great pro wrestlers, that why it is so crazy that WWE has great scouts that can figure out who to hire, it is just too bad the person running the place has gone from crazy like a fox to just plan crazy. The only way for my 47 year old son to earn my respect is to fall at least 10 feet off of a "5-ton Steel Cage"

based on the match sunday, which was the only time ive seen him wrestle, tye dillinger is orders of magnitude better in the ring relative to roman

i get holding wwe to a much, much lower standard than actual wrestling, but roman is bad even by those standards.

Why do you expect him to regress until the point he's only passable?

If you think the past few years of singles action Roman has had is passable than that's fine but I consider it to not be.

If I was giving out grades Roman would get an F in character an F in in ring psychology an F in promos and a c- in tag action for his role as the least skilled member of the shield. Unfortunately that averages out to be a bad wrestler in my book before we even get into whether that wrestler should be pushed as the top guy.

i do not think he is fine, i think he is one of the worst workers on the wwe roster. every "passable" reigns match i have seen involved him doing almost nothing except selling poorly and doing his comeback, which i think he executes poorly. you could take any reigns match and replace him with dolph ziggler and the match would be better because dolph at least sells well. actually dolph is a better wrestler than roman by every metric.

it was brought up earlier but roman has no improvisational skills, and the way his matches play out show it. as bad as his mania match with undertaker was, his mania match with trips was even worse. one of the most boring, plodding, unexciting matches i've seen, mostly because the gameuhhh has to CARRY him the entire time. the storytelling was entirely on his shoulders. roman is wrestling dead weight.

If Reigns didn't get to spend the first years of his time in WWE having his flaws hidden in trios matches and had to wrestle 4 minute nothingburgers on Superstars and people 5 years past giving a gently caress in main events instead of the literal top flight talent of the roster during basically his entire run he'd slot in nicely beside Jinder in terms of how his matches and in-ring talent are viewed

Alicia Fox fans (not of her promos, of her just wrestling), people who decide they need to see cruiserweights 3 times a week instead of 2, Kalisto fans before he joined the cruiserweight division. I watched a good bit of Main Event when Neville was on it, he'd kill himself in those matches to barely beat Curtis Axel or Bo Dallas.

i'm well spoken, pretty, and my voiced is measured but deep and sensual. the "best" wwe matches would be middle of the road performances in almost any indy fed. wwe does spectacle well, which is fine, but they are not regularly putting on high quality wrestling matches. this shouldn't even be controversial, it's kind of their mission statement.
