[#BROKEN Hasney]

Anyone named AJ is better than Roman.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hell, anyone with a 2 initial name starting with A is better. AC Slater would take him.

[Black Widow]

Roman

[Lock Jaw]

AJ Lee was pretty freaking sweet from her time with Daniel Bryan all the way to the end of her career.

She could talk, she could get people invested in her, and once she actually started having matches, she had some good ones vs the likes of WWE Paige and Kaitlyn.

Overall I would say that AJ Lee has provided me with more "fond memories"/"moments" than Roman Reigns has.

[Maluco]

Not really a fan of either, but AJ Lee got the crowd to react as both a heel and a face. She has been involved in memorable angles at a main event level and she was competent in the ring. She also had a unique look and character that she made her own.

While Reigns is arguably better in the ring, he remains awkward as a personality and can't get over as a face. He has had a sustained push for years now and rather than create memorable moments and become a unique personality, he hasn't evolved much at all and has actually ruined more moments than he has been a part of.

Reigns is underrated in the ring for me, and I could see people voting for him on that basis, but his character and persona are awful and for that reason, AJ sneaks it for me

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Let's light it up.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Roman

Weren't you AJLees? You traitor!

[Wishbone]

AJ and it's not even close lol. She was able to break through at a point when women's wrestling was a joke and still standout. Were she around today she'd probably be one of the top competitors in the division and likely the face of one of the brands.

[Destor]

Squash match :lol:

[Ruien]

Where the fuck is X Pac?

[Ruien]

Roman. No way in hell AJ ever has the ability to main event a Mania.

[Big Vic]

Sexist

[Bad News Gertner]

AJ Lee looks like a ladyboi and really wasn't very good in the ring. Almost as ugly as Bayley.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Roman would kinda look like her if he shaved and lost some weight.

[Big Vic]

Almost as ugly as Bayley.

Let's not say things we can't take back

[Nicky Fives]

AJ was good, but she wasn't around long enough.

I'm not a huge fan of Reigns, but he is better than AJ

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Only voting against Roman because he's had the benefit of easy competition and AJ did a lot for women's wrestling.

[Big Vic]

Anyone who votes for Roman a WHITE MALE is sexist, racist and transphobic.

[Evil Vito]

AJ forever!
Roman never!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was ready to say Roman Reigns.

AJ Lee was an excellent second in the Big Show/Daniel Bryan program. She was an excellent "character" outside the ring in the aftermath of all of that stuff too. She really started to lose momentum when she started wrestling.

I was all on-board with her at the time, but in retrospect, her wrestling was pretty shitty. I mean, can anyone remember a great AJ Lee match? Some will blame dance partners, but even the stuff I really wanted to see, like AJ vs. Paige turned out to be quite the flat program.

I think AJ Lee is underrated as a manager/valet -- especially given how few people are given the chance to succeed in that role in the modern era. I think her position as a wrestler is, frankly, overrated. With all that being said, I put things back to my "Who would you rather have on your roster?" test. Right now, I'd probably have to go with AJ Lee, based solely on the charisma factor. Even if she were an announcer or a manager, she'd have more value than Roman Reigns, in my opinion. Again, I expect this to change once they stop working against Reigns and let him play into whatever natural charisma might be laying dormant there, but until he shows that, I think I can make more money with AJ Lee's personality than I can with Reigns' ring work.

I feel like this is a cheat because it is "Better Wrestler" and I am considering using AJ Lee in a non-wrestling role, but it's all part of the wrestling presentation, and it's all about getting over and making money. I could probably build up AJ Lee for a few big matches that would put butts in seats far more than "Here comes Roman Reigns again."

[Emperor Smeat]

Tough choice only because the lack of direct comparisons and outside of brief periods, WWE being horrible when it comes to handling women's wrestling in general.

Went with AJ mainly for believing she did more with the stuff given to her than Roman and her impact on the Women's division being bigger than Reigns in general. Should have been a no contest in favor of Reigns since he has way more opportunities to succeed but the WWE has botched his booking and development to the point the more they push him, the worse off he ends up becoming.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not saying this to be snarky, but I genuinely forget about AJ Lee in sort of the same way I forget Randy Orton exists when he's not the focal point of something.

[Blue Demon]

AJ...because fuck the Roman Reigns

[EazyMack]

I voted for AJ just to spite Vince. :p

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm not saying this to be snarky, but I genuinely forget about AJ Lee in sort of the same way I forget Randy Orton exists when he's not the focal point of something.

And you'd remember Roman if he wasn't the focal point?

lol

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

[Lock Jaw]

I voted for AJ just to spite Vince. :p

He will be SEETHING MAD when he views this thread

Watch out

[Mr. Nerfect]

And you'd remember Roman if he wasn't the focal point?

Probably not, but he is the focal point, and that's not even my point. My point was exclusively about AJ Lee.

[Sepholio]

AJ easy. Paige takes credit for being the first in the women's revolution but I've always thought it was AJ. Her involvement with Punk/Cena during their feud was incredible. She literally was able to play a believable insane like I've never seen before. And she was pretty good in the ring too. I wish she'd have never left.

Oh and every time I see her it seems as though my wee wee is suddenly stricken with rigor mortis.

[My Final Heaven]

Roman. Can't name one memorable move in AJ's moveset, besides that assbackwards Black Widow retardedness that nobody was allowed to counter.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Are you fucking serious? You are voting 2 move Reigns over somebody else's moveset?

[My Final Heaven]

Seriously, bruh.
Roman's 2 moves are, kayfabe: he fucking punches your head off, & he football tackles the air out of you.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Octopus takes skill

[Destor]

Octopus takes skill

If you think that punch takes less I've got bad news for you

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes, I do and you don't have bad news for me because you're wrong

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

a good punch is hard to find. i agree with destor

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Punching is stupid in wrestling. A punch like that that lands and doesn't draw blood is fake as fuck. It's why closed fists are supposed to be illegal.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

which makes being a good puncher all the more important. Not saying I even like Roman's punches but I'd rather see terry funk or jerry lawler punch than A/j do an octopus

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No, a good puncher is irrelevant. If The end result is not a knockout, blood or tooth loss it means nothing.

[Bad News Gertner]

A good puncher is far from that. I loved Scott Hall's punches. They added to his offence instead of these ugly ass punches nowadays.

[Lock Jaw]

Just gonna put in that I loved The Octopus/Black Widow. Good move/hold I think...... seemed "deadly"........

[Destor]

Yes, I do and you don't have bad news for me because you're wrong

Punching is stupid in wrestling. A punch like that that lands and doesn't draw blood is fake as fuck. It's why closed fists are supposed to be illegal.

No im not.

A good safe punch is rare these days. Most guys throw forarms and europeans because punchesnare just so damn hard to get right.

And octopus? Theres nothing to it. It just looks cooler.

[Rammsteinmad]

Roman Reigns.

There's some good arguments for why either of them should win, but the truth is that, as good as AJ was and as compelling as the Women's Revolution is (or whatever it's called now)... I still don't really care much for women's wrestling.

Don't get me wrong, the women right now are much more entertaining than they've ever been and I don't find myself skipping female matches like I use to, but I'd still go with Reigns on this one. With the right opponent that guy can have some incredible matches.

[Ruien]

Would love to see STD do a Superman Punch to someone on the top rope like Roman does in the gif.

[Maluco]

I hate the superman punch tbh. Regardless of skill, it's just a very boring move, that he overuses terribly. I wonder how many superman punches he has hit in the last two years. It is constant and I can't think of a wrestler that hits another move as much as he hits that one.

The spear is also THE most overused move of all time. And it is his main move.

His moveset, for me, is a massive negative, and part of what makes him so cookie cutter. There is nothing unique about Roman Reigns. Maybe that dropkick on the apron?

The fans dislike for him goes way deeper than any Daniel Bryan stuff. Sure, that was the spark, but the reason he is booed soundly is because he is so bland and nowhere near good enough for his place on the card and the forced legacy he is building.

AJ Lee wasn't great, but she got the right reaction and created a unique character for herself. She was real and comfortable in what she was doing at least. That goes a long way for me in deciding who was better.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

No, a good puncher is irrelevant. If The end result is not a knockout, blood or tooth loss it means nothing.

it's unfortunate that you don't understand wrestling

[Destor]

I could teach a trainee to do an octopus in..less than a half hour? Within a day I could have them doing at least a dozen moderately complicated transitions into it.


A punch? A good punch, hell a decent punch, will take weeks or months. A great punch could take years to really perfect. Strikes are much more difficult than holds to learn.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I was watching the European finals of Bate vs Dunn. Bate cold cocked Dunn, and they did about a billion high octane spots, and that was the one that stuck out to me because it was the best punch I'd seen at least in current day wrestling.

Dest you're hitting the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned. When everyone was singing RVDs praises in the late 90s and early 2000s all I could see was his weak punch/forearms and it made him less appealing.

If you have a fantastic punch it's now a seamless part of your offence where guys don't need to bump hard but can sell and tell more of a story.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

And he's 19.

TBF, he probably did just twat him though. They're both in the British Strong Style stable in PROGRESS after all.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

TBF, he probably did just twat him though. They're both in the British Strong Style stable in PROGRESS after all.

he for sure may have just plugged him, but was skilled enough not to really hurt the guy and it still has to LOOK good. I mean Terry Funk's awesome punches according to Mick Foley was just him hammering someone as hard as he could in the forehead.

[road doggy dogg]

despite this

https://i.redd.it/pq7511msjl2y.jpg

I gotta go with Reigns

[Cool King]

My vote is for Reigns.

It's well documented here that I've never really been the biggest AJ fan but I do genuinely believe that Reigns is a better wrestler than AJ.

I feel that "current Reigns" has hurt him when it comes to this vote. I feel that if this was asked during Reign's Shield days, this vote would be much closer. Hell, I actually think Reigns would have won.

Reigns has had some pretty good matches that I remember well, whereas with AJ, I really can't remember any of her matches. Reigns has also shown more variety compared to AJ, when it comes to character. I can only think of three for AJ compared to around four or five for Reigns.

I also think Reigns has the better move set. It's been mentioned in this thread, but Reigns' Superman Punch is so much better than AJ's Black Widow. Reigns can really make that punch look legit and make you say "holy shit!" depending on how he hits it. AJ's octopus is nothing really. I can't recall every being surprised by a sudden octopus, whereas I have with a sudden punch.

Overall, Reigns' moveset is more "wrestling moves" whereas AJ's was more "basic kicks and submissions". The problem right now is that Reigns doesn't really get the chance to show off his moveset, much like Cena during his rise to be "face of the company". Heel Reigns really showed off his moveset.

Finally and most importantly, Reigns is the hotter of the two.

[Anybody Thrilla]

You guys are dumb as fuck, if I'm being honest.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol well you're a doody head

[Anybody Thrilla]

Can't argue with that.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Name one thing that she did for women's wrestling, please.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

She was an interesting character in a time when most of the female characters were piss breaks.

I mean I obviously like someone like Beth Phoenix better, but AJ started a trend of the women being featured more in a more interesting way. Was it perfect? Of course not, it's the WWE, but she definitely didn't just "play it safe" like everyone else. She made a name for herself.

Reigns is better, but I don't really like him. I like AJ.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

If it was AJ vs Trish Stratus or Mickey James for instance, I'd go with those 2 ladies over her. But I'd take them over Roman as well. As they are both more effective in their roles.

Unfortunately Roman is positioned as top babyface in the company and fails on that front.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Reigns is better

Welcome to the Better Wrestler thread.

Here's my thing.

Today's lines aren't as clear cut as they used to be back in the day. When you're a kid, you definitely boo this and you definitely cheer that. We're not kids anymore. People are allowed to have different opinions. Roman is for the kids.

I was going to start going much deeper, but I don't have the energy at the moment, and I think you know what I mean. Also, John Cena.

[Bad News Gertner]

Where did AJ become this "amazing worker"? She wasn't at all and got overexposed VERY quickly

[Anybody Thrilla]

Where did AJ become this "amazing worker"? She wasn't at all and got overexposed VERY quickly

I remember literally zero AJ Lee matches where I thought "damn, that was tight".

Reigns has quite the catalogue already.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Oh no doubt she wasn't much of a worker. I just liked her more as a character.

Again, I went against my usual criteria where I would have chosen Roman, but he hasn't been put up against any substantial lol.

Bret Hart had to go through Shawn Michaels and Roddy Piper.

Savage had to beat Bret Hart and the Undertaker (and someone else I forget) to progress to hall of fame.

Roman has had Lex Luger, Great Khali and AJ Lee. It was my protest against the system.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Your logic is not great here, bud.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Roman Reigns is better than AJ Lee. That's what I'm looking at here.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Agree that AJ's in-ring content falls apart when you analyze the body of her work. AJ takes this on charisma.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Your logic is not great here, bud.

Well I'm voting on a wrestling forum, so I mean, wtf do you expect?

Vote Roman, nobody's stopping you, you big derp.

I remember AJ Lee having good matches with WWE Paige and Kaitlyn.

Singles matches wise I remeber Roman Reigns having good matches against Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, and maybe Cesaro.

The Rumble everyone WANTED him to win. Not his fault that he didn't then.

It said Roman Reigns, not the third wheel of the shield where he was well protected and didn't spam Superman punches like they were going out of style.

That Rumble against Batista, Heath Slater would have been getting those pops at the end. Much like it's been anyone but Roman for years now, that year was anyone but Batista.

Hold the phone here.

You cant disqualify tag wrestling as a rule.. he worked those matches like every one else and he was crazy over when he broke free and started working singles. Everyone wanted him pushed to the moon. It was unanimous.

Dont rewrite history.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

He was getting alright reactions at best since he was pretty much instantly exposed as a bad script reader "sufferin sukatash tater tot" and while he can wrestle, his character never does.

Bottom line is he could be better, but he's playing a terrible role on a TV show. and that's all it comes down to.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

You are rewriting history to match your bias. He was the hottest rising act on the roster. They were right to push him. As soon as the office backed him it stopped being cool. Here we are now.

[Ruien]

Really do not understand why anyone would pick AJ over Reigns except for personal bias.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

personal bias.

:cool:

[Maluco]

I actually am in the opposite camp. Reigns is better in the ring but he has been playing an awful character for years now and his improvement in the ring has come in that same time period.

I am not an AJ fan, but she garnered the appropriate reactions in her role, whether that be as a face or as a heel and was a key character on TV, not just one show, for years. She played her role in both Punk and Bryan's on screen development and was definitely a large part of the evolution of the women in WWE.

Her impact hasn't been massive, but Reigns has been a failure during his whole singles/face run up to this point. Lots of fallen potential in the world of wrestling. Whether it is his fault or not, large sections of the fan base do not like him and even the most positive fan cringed when he came out at 30 in the RR. It was not joy from a fan base that hates him when he was eliminated, it was purely relief that the same mistakes weren't made again.

It's not over anyone's head, no-one is being played...He is just disliked as he is, by the majority of the fan base in the only role he has played since going singles. People don't want to see him win, they don't want to see him lose, they just don't want to see him in his current guise, full stop. This is not the formula for a good wrestler.

He is a natural heel being forcefed to the fan base as a super babyface for years now.

Just because he has had some good matches and a great tag run, doesn't disguise the fact that his character is a mess, and has been a mess, for the majority is his on-screen career, and that is a massive part of what being a better wrestler is.

[Destor]

If yiu can watch how they booked the rumble and tell me you think reigns is a face i have to seriously question what you know about wrestling.

[Destor]

Why Reigns is a face: he smiles and doesnt cheat to win

Yeah that doesnt make you a baby

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

babyface announcers put him over as a babyface. Everything "on paper" is babyface. If they are purposely doing this, it is insanely stupid because it isn't enjoyable.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

My prediction, if Roman won this round he would have gone against Shawn Stasiak in the next round.

[Maluco]

If yiu can watch how they booked the rumble and tell me you think reigns is a face i have to seriously question what you know about wrestling.

He is a face. The Rumble might have taken advantage of the reactions he has been getting. It might even be the seeds of a heel turn (in fact it probably is if he is facing Undertaker), but he is a face and has been the entire time he has been a singles guy.

RAW has been based around him wrestling Owens/Jericho in that combination for months now. Owens is a heel who insults the fans and gets cheap wins. Roman is a face who overcomes the odds and overawes the cowardly heel duo. Raw is not booking round heel vs heel for months.

They had also been pairing him with Rollins, who they were actively trying to cement as a face AND they booked him against jobber squasher and monster heel Braun recently too. The same monster that feuded with super happy face, Sami Zayn

I hope this is the start of a heel turn, because I think that would be great for him, but he is a face and has been this whole time.

[Maluco]

In any respect, he is not garnering heel heat. People are booing him because they are rejecting his character and his position on the card. This is not what a heel does either.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

A false photo for Roman Reigns at the start. He was never Big Red Champion.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

You are rewriting history to match your bias. He was the hottest rising act on the roster. They were right to push him. As soon as the office backed him it stopped being cool. Here we are now.

Lol, I've literally gone through the Network since the Shield split. So MITB, Battleground and SummerSlam are fin, then he gets injured for the rest of the year and does this

https://media.tenor.co/images/ccb80a53f9686eb5b775d8e5f3574c2f/raw

Comes back for the Rumble and gets booed out of the building. So we had 3 months of OK reactions (and wasn't even anywhere near a hot star pop. Summerslam crowd go more nuts for his teammate Ambrose) followed by 2 years of "eh" except for when he snaps at TLC or spears Stephanie. But of course, I'm just revising Romans singles career.

I'm not counting the Shield stuff because hot tag Roman doesn't count. I mean, even then the instruction was to keep him strong. He just has a terrible spin off character from that, he's Joey after Friends.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The dumb thing is, he's got bags of charisma when he's not scripted and had a decent mkveset before SUPERMAN PUNCH SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR. But this is just a TV show so you can only judge him on what's presented. #BringBackLeakee

[Emperor Smeat]

Reigns is suffering the same problem Ryback had when it came to reaching the next level as a star. WWE foolishly rushed his development and skipped the mid-card part of his rise. They had the chance to correct some of the problems with his recent US title reign but only used it as a prop and just kept repeating the same problems instead.

Made his stardom feel a lot more forced than it should have been and WWE being way too stubborn to realize their plans are not working. Also didn't help Reigns' rise occurred at the same time WWE was fighting crowds over who gets top be big stars and doing their best to wreck whoever the crowd hand-picked.

[Lock Jaw]

AJ Lee I feel had memorable stories/moments with Daniel Bryan, Kane, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, John Cena, WWE Paige, Kaitlyn, and was great at playing her character, entertaining on the mic and on her frequent guest commentary visits.

Roman Reigns had memorable stories/moments with The Shield. Then once he went singles he really hasn't had any moments that have "stuck with me"..... I know he has had moments, but they are there and then gone in my mind. Whereas I still remember a lot from AJ Lee.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is being misused Roman's fault?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Better wrestler, right? Not better character.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Roman Reigns wrestles a boring move-spam style that has bored me to tears these last two and a half years. If that's what's displayed to me, why wouldn't that be what its judged on? I know he can do better, but when he's all over a 3 hour show and making it somehow feel longer each week because of how he's used, I doubt we'll ever see it.

[Maluco]

Surely the wrestler is the package? And that includes promos, look, character...The whole deal

[Wishbone]

Are they not wrestlers, regardless of what characters they're playing?

Mr. Thrilla, please enlighten me as to how you come to your conclusions for better wrestler without considering character and onscreen presentation which are literally all we get to see of them. Do you have access to backstage training videos or something? Did you get to watch these guys and gals throughout their training to see exactly how good they are in every aspect even when they haven't shown it in a public space? Are you magic?

Fact is you can only judge a wrestler based on what you've seen of them, and like it or not character and presentation have a HUGE part to play in wrestling. This isn't a sport, it's essentially athletic acting. The parts you play and the public's perception of you are all part of the gig. I mean if Elvis had only sung jingles for breakfast cereal he wouldn't be so well regarded regardless of his actual talent.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Better wrestler, right? Not better character.

It's the whole package though. If it was best wrestler, technically, then Dean Malenko would beat Hulk Hogan.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No, Better Superstar would be the package.

"and then the bell had to ring"

AJ was a better character too though.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

So I guess Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit should win it all

[Ruien]

F you Dale. Kurt Angle wins it all.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

okay yeah true

[Destor]

This should be simple concept: The crowd decides if you're a face or you are a heel. Not the office. They have no control over it they can only try and manipulate you into making them one or the other.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

But the office should then proceed to book them accordingly.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Rocky starts getting booed by the crowd. What do they do? They adjust his character accordingly. He becomes one of the greatest of all time.

Roman starts getting booed for almost 3 years, the office continues to portray him as a super hero because of merch and house shows.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

What I'm saying, is you claiming he is heel or babyface is an irrelevant semantical argument. Yeah, the crowd treats him as a heel, but WWE attempt to portray him as a top babyface. He "overcomes the odds" and gets screwed over all the time. Babyface announcers are always talking about what a great guy he is. It'd be different if he did the same act and all of a sudden Saxton and Cole were like "fuck me aren't you sick of this wannabe fonzy character? He does the same damned thing every week and gets booed out of the building" but instead they are like "We hope the heroic Roman Reigns overcomes Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho for the 7000th time".

[Big Vic]

I'm not certain how much merch Roman is selling do we see a lot of crowd shots with his logo?

But that's where his heat comes from. That's the angle. And theyre booking him accordingly. It's their presentation of over packaged baby that gets him heat. But the reactions are manufactured at this point. They're leaning into it. The office is the heel and Reigns is the metophor for the office. They are absolutely aware.


It's a win win senerio. They use Roman to get heat off the smarks while they peddle merch to everyone else who still buys the company line. At the end of the day you're twice as interested in the spoty guys who are "counter culture" (or what you percieve to be counter culture) because they are "overcoming" the office (and their poster boy roman reigns) in true baby face fasion and you're buying their merch in turn. Its meta. The business of the business is the business now.


There is no reason to change course.

[Destor]

I'm not certain how much merch Roman is selling do we see a lot of crowd shots with his logo?
Reigns is the #2 merch seller but he is a distant 2nd to Cena.

[Emperor Smeat]

I'm not certain how much merch Roman is selling do we see a lot of crowd shots with his logo?

#2 but like Destor stated its a distant #2 compared to the machine that is Cena. Then again Cena also gets a ton more merch than anyone else which plays a role as well.

Not sure if its still the case but for a while Ambrose was very close to matching Reigns as #2 with way less help from the WWE during the time. Same for house shows when Ambrose lead shows were matching or surpassing Reigns lead shows even with weaker cards or smaller locations. WWE would legit get more back if they put more effort into Ambrose than what they are currently spending and getting in return with Reigns.
