I hope this is a turn towards heel Reigns. Turns on Ambrose for not being there for him. Goes full beast mode. Crushes everyone - if they want to make him look strong, make him look strong.

That's the only way I can justify this fuck finish.

 

[Velcro Fly]

the spear to all three guys better than 90% of that match tbqh

 

[sajj316]

This is sooooo stupid. No Usos, no Ambrose ... despite weeks of buildup of tag team matches

 

[Interface23]

Haha where were Ambrose and Usos?

 

[slightconfuse]

Rocksteady Wins

 

[Heroman]

What a fuck up. Crowd was actually getting behind Romam. Should have put the belt on him.

They wernt getting behind him at all really, the were getting behind the spots.

 

[Fox318]

They actually had the crowd cheering for Roman.

Why not just give him the belt, If that's all they care about?

He's lex luger now.

 

[Angry Grimace]

wow he did a spot after the match roman looks so strong

 

[UberTag]

Well at least I was wrong and Reigns didn't win. Still no matter who won we lost.

Roman's getting his coronation at Mania and will reign supreme for longer than CM Punk. Look forward to all of those majestic feuds he will have and smiley promos he will cut.

 

[Couleurs]

Enjoy the Rumble getting ruined for the 3rd year in a row

I wonder what's going to get people outraged now that we know Daniel Bryan won't be there. Maybe Roman eliminating Brock last with some goofy weak looking spot

 

[TheStruggler]

trying to give reigns the daniel bryan treatment, vince is hoping people will like him and cheer for him lol

 

[The Silver]

Roman and Sheamus should be dead, getting carted out after all these damn spots

 

[bean breath]

I really liked tbat match. Wrestling "fans" are the worst.

I actually thought the Sheamus/Reigns match wasn't too bad. I liked the spots in it.

Me too

 

[Dark Ninja]

Even though their was interference, Reigns still lost because of a Brogue Kick. That does not make Roman look strong.

 

[ramoisdead]

OMFG WWE can't even make a horrible faction look strong. The cameraman should have some decency and just shut the camera off and refuse to broadcast this anymore.

 

[SquashMatch]

Booking is shit, characters are shit, and I am so TIRED of the WCW booking where the heel is ALWAYS on top. This is so played out and ridiculous.

 

[Brinbe]

Beating up the bad guys with a chair isn't gonna garner him any sympathy. He just looks like a psychopath now.

What the fuck are they doing to Reigns? This booking, I can't even comprehend it.

 

[Sephzilla]

So now Roman is just a sore loser?

 

[Chamber]

Seriously, I am starting to appreciate Rollins a much more now that this is what we have as the main event. Even the Rollins/Kane feud was more fun.

People took Seth for granted. He is way more talented and entertaining than these dudes, and most other guys on the roster.

That period of Rollins vs Cena was pretty damn great compared to this.

Didn't I fucking say you guys would end up begging for Seth Rollins by the time it was all said and done? DIDN'T I FUCKING SAY IT?!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I just don't....why? Roman "overcoming the odds" is not interesting. Why does WWE book feuds like this. End these fucking things. We've already seen Roman and Sheamus square off in some form or another for 4 weeks, which makes this match completely uneventful, but now you drag it out even further? Why is WWE so averse to the simple, age old, crowd pleasing concept of "the bad guy gets his comeuppance?" Not just with this feud, but with everything. It feels like the entire roster is just a giant mid card full of guys who are constantly fighting each other and winning/losing with no rhyme or reason.

 

[Tagyhag]

THAT SPEAR TOOK ALL 3 GUYS OUT, ROMAN SO STRONG.

 

[truly101]

How long is Rollins out anyway?

 

[Thatoneguy64]

Honestly if he did it when he had time to prime it, and it was a little slower and more deliberate -- for showmanship, like you said -- I'd be OK with it. But the fact that it's literally a quarter second when he's going for the fast punch is what kills me.

Yeah, exactly. A bit slower, a bit more theatrical and I think it would work. A modern equivalent of the people's elbow buildup, the "You Can't See Me" before the five knuckle shuffle, etc. It would work.

But it's too fast for theatricality, so it only exists... I guess mechanically? And in that sense it's just dumb and lame.

 

[slightconfuse]

Heel Turn???

 

[Senketsu]

Hell turn?

 

[Velcro Fly]

lol here comes the build up for making him entrant #1 in the RR

 

[Fox318]

Enjoy the Rumble getting ruined for the 3rd year in a row

They planned ahead, it's in reigns home state.

 

[espher]

Me too

The spots were OK, but the match had no pacing/flow. It's like storytelling is a dead art for the main event guys on the roster.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I...think Reigns is turning heel? Maybe?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I hope this is a turn towards heel Reigns. Turns on Ambrose for not being there for him. Goes full beast mode. Crushes everyone - if they want to make him look strong, make him look strong.

That's the only way I can justify this fuck finish.

Would be good if it were. At least he's showing some fucking emotion now though.

 

[TheStruggler]

have ambrose come out and have roman clock ambrose

 

[Dick Justice]

Gotta have their cake and eat it.

 

[hamchan]

At least I came out of this PPV liking New Day, Lucha Dragons and even The Usos. Tag teams are where it's at.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Teasing the heel turn that's not happening

 

[Heroman]

How long is Rollins out anyway?

like 5 months

 

[Sibersk Esto]

50/50 booking baby

 

[Vestal]

SORELOSER!!! LOL

Lost fair and square.. what a bitch character

 

[Xion385]

Heel turn please!

 

[The Silver]

Heel Turn???

Hell turn?

Hele turn?

 

[The Elite]

Reigns needs to go to the back of the line now.

He had his rematch.

 

[JTripper]

Reigns heel turn is the only thing that might make this even remotely interesting.

 

[Brinbe]

This isn't a heel turn lol. Come on, he's just being a bitch

 

[jwhit28]

Hell turn?

He needs to stop trying to be things, tell the crowd to boo or cheer if they want and destroy people.

 

[Ithil]

Not a heel turn. Cole is in favour of it.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Make Roman look wrong

 

[espher]

I hope this is a turn towards heel Reigns. Turns on Ambrose for not being there for him. Goes full beast mode. Crushes everyone - if they want to make him look strong, make him look strong.

That's the only way I can justify this fuck finish.

Well maybe I'm getting my wish here... lol.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Roman's getting his coronation at Mania and will reign supreme for longer than CM Punk. Look forward to all of those majestic feuds he will have and smiley promos he will cut.

Spoiler

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Toki767]

What a sore loser.

 

[Thatoneguy64]

Why is WWE so averse to the simple, age old, crowd pleasing concept of "the bad guy gets his comeuppance?"

The worst part isn't that he's "overcoming odds," but that he always does. Why was this match supposed to interest us when we saw multiple renditions of this matchup every week for the past three weeks? Why was there supposed to be any tension when we've seen Roman tear apart the League of Nations for nearly one month?

It's just bad booking, bad storytelling. I get the idea is to make Reigns this perfect beast that SHOULD be champion but is held back by cheaters and the Authority, but that's just... that's bad storytelling. Why should I care about a face that can't lose unless cheated against?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

crazy sore loser asshole Roman might actually work better than superhero/cereal box Roman.
