Oh no!😱

One thing I've never got is how wrestlers seem to think "big dog" makes you sound tough. I've known some bernese mountain dogs and Newfoundlands. Commentator calls a wrestler "the big dog" I'm not thinking "tough scary bastard", I'm thinking "big drooling softy probably gonna shed all over the furniture".

I'm not sure Tama has ever had a really good singles match let alone a great one, and he's had the opportunity to work with guys like Okada, Omega, Ishii and Suzuki.

Roman has really great timing in the ring so I could see him having real bangers with pretty much anyone in the tournament who can layout an exciting match. Which is to say everyone but Michael Elgin and Tama Tonga at this point. Yes, I really do think Roman would have a good match with YOSHI-HASHI.

yeah i actually did mean that as a compliment, like he’d be probably the 4th best dude in A Block (probably like 7th or 8th in B though)

I think YOSHI-HASHI gets poo poo on a little too much sometimes. He's a victim of being surrounded by loving amazing wrestlers. And while he's not on the level of most of those other guys, he's totally fine and capable of having really good matches. He's a much better singles guy than Tama Tonga.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I'd be more excited to see Roman Reigns defect WWE and going to NJPW for a while than any current NJPW coming over to WWE except possibly Tanahashi to do a couple dream matches before he retires.

Roman's had good singles matches, they're just all over-shadowed by Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesner matches with the occasional sprinkled in badly put together matches, like with Samoa Joe which I assume was agented that way so Joe wouldn't be more over than Reigns.

I don't watch WWE so I can't comment on Roman's in ring but his twitter is the softest rear end kale flecked poo poo I've seen since a south florida girl got told she was in the NXT pipeline.

Napping aside, Roman can sell but his offense is pretty boring now that it's not just done as a hot tag.

So a match where he was all sell being entertaining makes perfect sense.

Roman's best singles matches in 2017-2018 are better than Tama's best has ever been. It's tough to call someone in WWE "great" because, hey, it's way easier to have great matches when you're in the ring with some of the best wrestlers of a generation than it is when you're in the ring with Jinder Mahal, but oh well.

Like, gently caress, nobody's saying he's Okada but it wouldn't kill you to say "oh, huh, that was pretty good despite my misgivings with how WWE puts matches together and have booked him." He'd be better served in another promotion, but so would literally everyone in WWE aside from Brock.

Pinche Rudo

Roman's matches are slow and boring. He's not fluid at all and fails at even the most basic of moves. He's managed to have a few decent matches when they are heavily agented around his glaring flaws. Great? No way. Anyone who insists Roman has "great matches" has serious WWE Stockholm syndrome.

I'd put him and Tama on about equal footing.

I'm not saying the guy loving sucks or anything, I'm saying that going "Tama's never had a great match" is dumb if you're comparing the two because neither has he.

Roman has had matches I really liked like his Royal Rumble match with Owens but they were smoke and mirrored to gently caress.

Shut up VJeff. They're not saying he's better than Okada or Kenny or something. Why are people stanning so hard for Tama Tonga's alleged ring generalship?

Also WWE regularly puts on technically great matches all the time, they're just utterly overshadowed by poo poo booking.
