Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.
I think they abandon this before Summerslam when Romans reign drags them to all new lows, but I do see a Shield 3-way at SS. Rollins should be ready by then.
AJ is crying at RAW. Sucks as fans because the outcome is so predictable but can't be too upset when he seems so happy just to get the opportunity. [Reply]

Ring of Honor dream match plus Jericho. Thank god they finally decided that it's ok to pull guys from the indies. And now they aren't even changing names.
When talking about Zayn and Owens, I wish they would just acknowledge ROH because they had a year long feud there that was one of the best ever. [Reply]

Why does everyone hate him? Character wise, I think he looks pretty good. Much better than Daniel Bryan or John Cena.
Right now they, and likely Vince, are being stubborn idiots and think they can make the fans cheer for Roman. Roman has a limited moveset and is not very good on the mic and that lends itself much better to being a heel but they don't recognize it. Last night I guarantee that crowd would have cheered him if he turned full heel. [Reply]

He seems like a tweener to me now. His promo and mannerisms were pretty dickish at times last night. [Reply]
maybe it's the homserism in me but that is it for the OG winner of Season 1 NXT Wade Barrett I guess
NXT has come a long way since then but Seaon 1 & 2 gave me some of my favorite talents of the last 10 years. (Barrett, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, etc).
I got back into wrestling since the attitude era when I saw the Nexus debut during that Cena vs CM Punk match and Wade Barrett and the NXT guys came out and dumpstered everyone. I thought it was so awesome to see new guys come out and look so strong, it was very attitude era in itself (which I'm hoping they do with the Balor Club debut). I really thought Wade Barrett was going to be a star (the look, the mic work, etc) with how strong he first looked, it's a shame they let Cena squash everyone and ruined what was my favorite faction in a long time and it was also a shame freak injuries ruined any pushes he could have got. (Like when Big Show threw a guy on him and blew out Barrett's shoulder.) [Reply]
You can't read off what they did last night. They could of told Roman to act like a dick last night because they absolutely knew for sure that Raw crowd was going to piss on him.
He could very well be making shitty tater tot jokes and smiling tonight.

Roman Reigns is a less talented John Cena. He has John Cena's character.
It worked for Daniel Bryan because he actually had to overcome odds to win a championship. Overcoming da odds doesn't work when you had a title shot every fucking month.
Fans hate Cena because they booked him like Hogan. They already seen the shit. So not only do they hate what Roman is doing, the hatred is still very fresh and the role is being played by a shitty fucking wrestler who can't work a mic. [Reply]
