I like The Shield. A lot.
 

Do you?

Let's discuss.

I do too. I'm as casual a fan as it gets when it comes to wrasslin these days, but Shield & Ziggler's crew entertain me. Dean Ambrose is money on the mic.

*JBL voice*

"It's their yard".

Yay.

Believe that.

BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!

I find myself marking out for them pretty much every time. Their matches on Raw have been awesome as of late, especially.

Shouts to Daniel Bryan for that most recent one, though. He was on fire.

Roman Reigns is the goods.

He'll be main eventing against John Cena next year.

Ambrose reminds me of HBK during his early 90s run with the IC Title

Reigns is a beast

Rollins is just a younger version of CM Punk

Damn straight!

Credit due to the WWE for making three guys no-one had any right to give a shit about into the hottest thing in years.

Yup really like Roman Reigns. Definitely my favourite of the three.

Ambrose is good on the mic in that creepy nutcase kinda way which is really good, but like I mentioned in another thread a few days back, I don't want to see him in regular wrestling gear because it seems like it'd take away a lot of his intimidation. At the minute they all look "cool" in their current gear, and while I can see the other two transitioning out into regular trunks or whatever, I can't see me taking Ambrose in the psychopath character very seriously in regular wrestling attire.

Rollins I don't really care about.

Rollins is probably the better athlete of the trio, but is still the weakest of the group. Doesn't really fit in with the intimidating image that's being portrayed.

Getting rid of that dumb fucking dyed hair would be a good start.

When I watched regularly I used to complain about how there weren't enough tag teams and stables and now I'm pretty happy with what I see. They're interesting even though I have no point of reference for who they are, why they wear D-lo style chest protectors and what their motivation is. I saw them fight Kane, Bryan and Kofi and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'd love to see all six of them in a TLC match, think it'd be crazy over like the E&C VS. Hardy Boyz Ladder match and subsequent Dudley feud etc.

I believe in the Shield

The Shield faced Kane, Bryan, and Ryback in a TLC Match in December

Were you on Mars at the time or something?

Of course they are all great in each their own way i'd still be down for a 4th member but i'd want another guy from nXt and not someone who is already on the current roster.

Yeah, I'd rather a new guy from developmental than 'recruiting' someone from the current roster, inevitably through some sort of swerve or heel turn. Not that the stable needs anything added or taken away. It's perfectly balanced at the moment.

Boring as hell. 2 guys with a combined weight of 400 pounds being unbeatable? Yup, can definitely see why rating suck. Send these vanilla midget back to the elementary school gyms where they belong.

Ambrose and Reigns both have bright futures. Rollins should too, but he needs to develop his mic skills a little more. He can go way better in the ring than Reigns, BUT he lacks the presence. He needs something to differentiate him besides "really good wrestler."

Love 'em. I think Rollins is so much better than most people make him out to be. The guy is great in the ring and sells like crazy. He has incredible chemistry with Daniel Bryan, and I'd love to see these two in a singles match.

Ambrose and Reigns are also the goods. I just feel bad for Rollins getting so much slack.

I actually think Rollins is pretty decent on the mic. Just wanted to say that.

But you voted against Roman Reigns, man.

Reigns would be the smallest guy in this faction if you want it to be believable. He's God awful on the mic btw.

Look at the NWO. Three big guys would looked and were unstoppable. All three could talk and had their own personality. Neither of The Shield possess any of those traits.

I might not be the first to say this, but could it be that Gertner is in fact Vincent Kennedy McMahon!?

Loves hosses, dislikes "vanilla midgets" (even the ones that are 6'3") and he claims to be the "Pulse of the WWE Universe". Could there be something in this!?

Like you. Mean to tell me you can buy The Shield defeating the team of Kane who is one of the most intimidating big men ever, Ryback who is a fucking beast and was pretty much unstoppable at that point and Daniel Bryan who can out rassle all three? Come on now!

"Curtis Axel" is 6"3. He also weighs 227, which is two pounds away from being a cruiserweight. You can be 6"3 and if you're built like a swimmer with no mic skills, then you're a vanilla midget.

This schtick is really getting old now, Gertner. There's nothing Vanilla about Ambrose, Rollins can wrestle well with anyone and Reigns is your wet dream. Quit negging everything.

What schtick? Just because I don't agree doesn't mean it's a schtick. Ambrose cuts the same "grrr I'm intense" that ever indy wrestler does. Rollins can wrestle, but he skinny and boring as fuck. Reigns is the only one id keep on the roster, but he's bad on the mic. S

Pretty sure Ryback is only 6'3, 6'4 tops.

I think Ambrose is actually taller.

Yeah and Ryback weighs almost 300 pounds. Ambrose weighs 220 if that.

Disagreeing is fine. Labelling almost everyone less than 6' 6' a vanilla midget isn't. It's as if the realisation that wrestlers are getting smaller hasn't dawned on you yet.

Yes and wrestling doesn't have nearly as much interest because the wrestlers aren't larger than life personality and physically. That's a huge part of what draws fans in. Not workrate.

Sure, the current slump is all because every match doesn't look like John Terry vs Mason Ryan.

And fucking stop it with the 'work rate' comment. I see those words in more posts from you than anyone else on the forums. No-one has mentioned work rate yet other than you. Compliments have been paid to Ambrose's personality, Rollin's athleticism and Reign's look.

It's gonna awesome yet again in 6 months when everybody starts saying what I've been saying. None of these guys are main eventers at all.

Nah, identifiable personalities and wrestlers who are into what they're doing who connect with the audience draws fans.

You can't have alllllllll 220-240 pounders, you need some big beefy guys because wrestling is all about the larger than life stuff, but there is room for all shapes and sizes.

So weird that 90% of TPWW disagrees with the "Pulse of TPWW"

That'll change in about 6 months.

That's the problem, the roster is full of guys in that weight range. There's never been so many.

Love The Shield :y:

Why not, they can be cool. Reigns looks like a bouncer of a club.
