PWD 283: Bulletproof

[Stargazer Rex]

I'm not sure I've ever seen Roman do an actual move. That Superman Punch is the worst finisher in wrestling, there's no comparison. I cringe every time he does it.

That's not his finisher

 

[TheStruggle]

You're trolling. And it would probably help if he was wrestling competent guys who weren't in their late 40's.

He strugged getting Reigns in it at the Rumble

One thing to keep in mind with Roman is he's been wrestling for just under 6 years, not in the WWE but wrestling period for that short of time yet he's main evened 2 wrestlemanias and won the title 3 times. That. Is. Unreal.

Bork Laser had beaten Hogan, Rock, Taker, Angle, Main Evented Wrestlemania, and won the title 3 times in his first year.

You're in the 90% because you actually care about how many moves someone has.

Steve Austin: Stunner, Lou Thesz press, Stomp, Punch, Middle Finger = 5 moves
Hogan: No Sell, Point, Leg Drop = 3 moves
Rock: Slap, Elbow, Rock Bottom, Eye Brow = 4 Moves

That was all anyone cared to see and they drew millions

Honestly, I grew up watching WCW, I was never a big fan of any of them. I always loathed Hogan for exactly that reason. The Rock had a mean spinebuster if I remember correctly.

Exactly, Reigns isn't a competent wrestler. He's a product to sell.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

Not only that, the element of credibility, the likes of Bryan, Punk, Zayn, Balor, Rollins, Ambrose, AJ Styles and others of their ilk, I have no problem believing that I could whoop their ass, I'm bigger than all of them, I don't get that aura of them actually being able to fight. You don't get that with Reigns

Yeah, I don't know if it's being Samoan or what but you get the feeling that he can beat some ass.

 

[Jobber]

Hogan had the eye rake and face bite
that's 5
and big boot
6

Not everyone can be 6' 3" and bench 275.

You can't use that excuse when he can barely do it to Jericho too. Jericho is still one of the better workers on the roster even at 45 and isn't much bigger than Styles.

Jericho has been sloppy as shit and is pushing 50. I don't remember him having problems hitting that move.

That's true, but it's not just the size of the guy, I'm also bigger than Chad Gable, Chad Gable would kick my ass. I don't feel like the guys I listed could.

I guess Daniel Bryan is wrong then because he said Reigns was really good.

 

[TheStruggle]

Styles is 38 years old going on 39, let's no act like he's a spring chicken

 

[El Dandy]

That's right after they got royally screwed by the umps on some call that allowed the Rangers to take the lead. It was an elimination playoff game.

That inning will go down in history as the absolute craziest inning ever (top and bottom). Absolutely insane.

Pay the man.

@minotauro rex @Max Power @SoCalprodigy09 @Black Angus @deezy

They could free up the cash by letting go of Ziggler. And all the rest of those 08/09 guys who went on to do jack shit and are still there.

You can tell Reigns was uncomfortable with the stuff they were giving him a year ago but they dude has so much natural charisma if they just let him be himself he already halfway to be a megastar. Cena stopped giving a shit about fan reactions years ago but then difference with Reigns is, he has the arrogance to say "Keep booing me while I punch your favorite wrestler in the mouth"

More of that. People like brash and cocky. It has always worked, I can't see any reason why not now. Most may boo now, but I believe that can change. I just watched that clip from Raw (Not a good guy...) - and it was perfect.

 

[Easy The Great]

Styles is 38 years old going on 39, let's no act like he's a spring chicken

And he's still a better wrestler than most of the guys on the roster. Phenomenal shape

Bryan is a company man, he's not going to shit on their golden boy.

 

[Nuclearlandmine]

I noticed though, Jericho seemed rather clueless when he's on the Styles Clash position. If it were anyone else they would hook their arm or at least place their arm in a way that Styles would be able to hook in. But Jericho just kind of left it there. Even Axel hit it better even if for a split second he didnt know what to do. AJ had hit his move on multiple people with various reasonable sizes. It is not like he had only hit it exclusively versus vanilla midgets.

 

[El Dandy]

Athleticism, size, agility, has good matches with a lot of different wrestlers, physical charisma, intensity, huge potential as a monster heel, cool tats, cool hair..

Translation: man crush

 

[CardsLJ]

tuning into my first regulat nxt match. yea budddddddy

Brock won the fake UFC belt after 3 fights as well.

Character > Wrestling ability.

He is 45.
