    yes but if you remember, the shield was all about working for the highest bidder.

    the only NJPW stuff i have seen is Okada and i really like his stuff... how do you watch it?

    I got into Wastlin' when I was around 14 and ECW had just come on cable PPVs. Me and my buddy would uses his unlocked cable box to watch them. That's about about into Wrastlin' as I ever got.

    What else is there for the Shield too do as a group? Not much. They are all going to be singles stars. So who cares really. It's nothing the Wyatt Family can't do.
    Loving the Rollins heel turn and how he has become the #1 heel on the show atleast till Lesnar returns.

    Cena/Ambrose/Reigns vs. Wyatt/Harper/Rowan on Monday is going to be in my top 10 after I revise it. Wow that was PPV caliber main event on RAW

    Teaming Cena up with Shield just brings their cool factory down ten fold. Hopefully that never happens again unless they want everyone to turn on the Shield.

    Haven't seen the match, so you may be right but still...

    While I generally agree with you that Cena and the shield is a bad matchup, The way the crowd responded when Cena came out to save the shield was exactly what the WWE wants. The fans actually treated him like the #1 Babyface so i think it was a success... plus the match was great.

    What do you mean? You have them fued with heels, duh.

    Who cares? You can milk money out of The Shield then when the heel turn comes it gets even more heat.

    Rollins is the #1 heel? He has been heel for about a week right? A bit early to make a statement like that lol.

    I actually would have had Rollins and Ambrose turn heel on Reigns after he gets a clean win over HHH at Summerslam. They turn on him out of jealousy. Have a Survivor Series match where Reigns maybe teams with Hogan against them and goes over. Then while you build him to win the Rumble and take the belt from Lesnar at Mania you rebuild Ambrose and Rollins as a dominate heel tag team, then when the time is right split them.

    Get more out of the group as babyfaces, sell a heap more merch. Get real heat.

    i can't see roman reigns as the face of the wwe. his mic work is cringeworthy, not to mention his in ring skills are subpar. rollins plays a really good bad guy though.

    That means Heath Slater will become JBL's "nephew" as Clem Layfield.

    Go watch and check out last couple of episodes from The JBL & Cole Show. It will explain everything. It starts at episode 64.

    Hated Brodus clays gimmick. But I thought he moved well for a big man. He could have been a legit big man heel. They should have given him a us/ic run.

    I agree he is a good big man. But he's in a class of outstanding big men who can move and perform well and have proven they are legit heels. BnB, Cesaro, Sheamus, Shield, Wyatts, Kane, etc.

    None of them is 400 lbs, though.

    Also, WWE hasn't really developed any true giants of late-- not that they are easy to find. Their truly huge guys are all aging: Big Show, Mark Henry, Kane, even Khali.

    Guess they are moving toward just more athletic guys.

    And its strange because it doesn't seem like they have that many big guys in NXT... like Erik Rowan and Luke Harper are pretty much the only new big guys they have had lately.

    Smackdown did a good job of setting up the Rollins Vs. Ambrose match at MITB, that match is going to be the one that steals the show you can bet that. Makes me wonder what they will do with Roman, maybe an IC title shot, but that wouldn't really make since. I dont think they will give us Triple H and him yet and they pretty much said he won't be in the ladder match.
