I really have a hard time understanding, or actually seeing, the difference between Roman Reign's flying punch/forearm to the face spot and Roman Reign's "I've punched the ground and now am throwing a Superman punch, sometimes well after I've punched the ground" spot. Is there anyway to justify the difference I've missed, since the crowd and announcers sell the difference, or should I just roll with Roman having an extremely limited moveset?

Arn Anderson to an extent, Hall when he wasn't doing the Razor accent, Hogan when he got a handle on the Hollywood character. Jericho would be on the list too but he was still finding himself on the mic during that period. I know you hate Raven, but I have to give him credit for having an ability to pout his way into a decent feud; he had a natural talent as a talker, compared to the stilted delivery we've gotten used to thanks to WWE's script writers. His stuff with DDP amped me up as a kid, and I'm not sure there's a better pursuit for a wrestling promo than making children give a poo poo about a match. Oh and also La Parka. His English was spectacular.

There isn't a wrestler cooler or tougher than Bruiser Brody If you need more than that to give out snowflakes, well, I am sorry and I wish you the best of luck

MassRafTer posted:Sting flopped so bad in 90 that they had to reverse course and give the belt back to Flair months after they had Flair reveal as the Black Scorpion and lose to Sting at Starrcade. Well Roman Reigns, future hall of famer, he's certainly better than Sting

What heel turn was the most poorly timed in kayfabe? They can't all be surprise briefcase cash-ins, but last night with KO/fi just seemed arbitrary, if hype (although will all understand that this is because the spirit of an angry baby randomly possesess the large Canadian body of Kevin Owens), and WWE wrestlers seem to have a tendency to turn when they're outnumbered and have nothing explicitly to gain in that moment (like the Shield breakup)

Not like the character had anything to really gain in that moment, anyway, and it defused the crowd's adoration counter to his own narcissism, so it ain't a bad pick
