PWD 238: Frank The Tank Appreciation Thread

[Fonx]

don't know what Reigns did wrong

he delivered at WM with a surprisingly solid match against Brock

the only problem are the nerds who write his promos

Two words: Next Cena. People is so tired of him that as soon as word got out he was next guy for Vince, the simple idea of having to deal with another Cena for the next few years alienated everbody towards Reigns.

There is still resentment that Roman kept the smarks from getting their 6 star classic Bryan vs Brock match. Roman is way above were he was a year old and it's best to keep him off the main event picture for now considering they will boo him again if they did. If they actually go through with the heel turn, Roman should basically be a anti-smark and talk about how the fans turned on him for no reason, then they can push him as a main eventer again outta spite.

It's so easy to book him it's not even funny. Just go the Batista route with him. Irony is by next year he will be more over and a bigger babyface that they'd ever anticipated.

If Reigns came through the stage like everybody else, I wonder how shitty the fans would react when he came out. There's always gonna be some type of pop when any wrestler goes through the crowd.

reigns was over. they just didn't know how to write for his singles character.

WWE booked Shield vs Wyatts and Shield vs Evolution damn well. but once it came to singles comp only Seth had a developed future; whereas Dean got shoved to the side and Roman was stagnant until his Rumble win.

It really is. The blueprint is there.

Reigns was exposed the second that The Shield broke up. It was obvious that the fans didn't see him in the same way that Vince does. This has very little to do with Bryan. He just isn't that entertaining on his own.

Roman was pretty green at the time. Bryan knows how to get over in the ring and out of it. Roman just couldn't take advantage of the push he was given. the crowd didn't connect and that was that.

That's because he is related to The Rock and people compare him with him. He ain't nothing like The Rock, but he is the first guy in really really long time that when you look at him you see a true WWE Superstar.

It has more to do with him being given The Superman push well still being very green. Nobody cares if he is related to The Rock or not.

You'd think even WWE creative would've realized that Reigns winning the Rumble in Philadelphia of all places wasn't a good idea.

Part of the issue I think that Roman has run into also is that he hasn't changed since the Shield broke up.

Seth's entire fucking wardrobe got switched so he LOOKED different, acted different, and obviously is fulfilling a different role. Dean Ambrose changed in the sense it wasn't all black and his coat so he also at the very least looked different and his character is written far more... nutso so to speak, since the break up.

Roman on the other hand, barely changed whether it's from ring gear to what he does. He didn't even seem all that broken up about it. Fuck, Dean spent an entire summer's worth of PPVs chasing Seth around trying to kill the guy for the betrayal when Roman was the one initially hit with the chair.

You say he is not entertaining, and a lot of people feel the same way, and most of them think he has to be like The Rock on the mic. He is just a badass looking mofo that comes through the crowd and kicks ass.

roman's too cool to care, bro. would be funny if charlotte wins tonight and then paige causes her to lose the title back to nikki at NoC.

People should lower their expectations in a big way. This is the same crew that thought about putting Daniel Bryan with Sheamus at Wrestlemania just months ago. Things don't change overnight.

Yeah, it looks like he hasn't really grasped that they're done. If he keeps turning up in his Shield get-up, the other two will remember theirs, instead of having to wrassle in their underwear/street clothes.
