Sit by Mr. Pierre�s Pool: Is the investment of the Shield a flop?

Nah, they got enough out of it. And at some point they'll bring them all back and the nostalgia will power it. They are all better off together than separately.

They wanted Roman Reigns to be a star, and he kinda is. He didn't work in front of their audiences, but he's now getting Hollywood work and the shows feel empty without him. Seth is "just another guy," but he's a top "just enough guy." He's in the Edge role, where they will just randomly push him when they want and tell you he's a star and you just have to cop it.

Ambrose is gone, but oh well.

I don't think The Shield was ever supposed to give them three tippy-top prospects. It gave them a faction they can pimp as the best for specials, merchandise and the like (well, Ambrose isn't there, so some of that is on hold), and they have two guys they can say "here's a WWE Main Eventer" about.
