Alvarez talking about how when there's a great wrestler and a bad wrestler who have a bad match, sometimes it's the great wrestler's fault because they should have known they can't do their regular match with this opponent, they have to idiot-proof the match.

Yep.

They also said he should never be in the ring again.

So im guess the battle royal is just a swerve to mess with dirt sheets n iwc to keep them interested in watchinv instead of knowing the outcome going forward.

One is from a random match on raw
And the other is from a title match in a PPV

I think Ambrose is definitely worse

Enzo is the most proof to me that they need to keep people in the PC longer before debuting them. It seems they just teach people the basics and that's it nowadays.

Also Ambrose vs Ziggler was such a disappointing match after the promos were hot fire.

Ambrose is so great in the ring that because Strowman couldn't work with him, the company called off Strowman's original push and the Taker match apparently.
Enzo is out here not being able to work with Cesaro of all people.

Let's see if someone's situation is canceled because their match didn't work because if so, then Enzo's "as bad or better than Ambrose." When we see Ambrose botch a rope-running or not jumping up for a lift we can talk lol.

Totally make sense booking wise.

AJ/Shane at WM? No offense to Shane but why waste AJ's talent with Shane?

If Seth can't wrestling, there is no point of Triple H to wrestle at WM.

Simple fact is, Enzo will be pushed as long as they see money in Cass, right? As soon as Cass gets a singles push, Enzo's his manager - at best. He is, unfortunately, perfect for being future endeavoured once his merch sales dry up.

I don't think so. They do those sponsored commercials with Enzo all the time

He's going to be doing commercials for a looong time

Dean does some dumb, sloppy shit and I rag on him a lot but I'd still rather watch a Dean match over an Enzo match any day of the week. Dean can actually string together a match, Enzo just flops everywhere.

Serious question: is the reason everything WWE was actually pretty good this week because Vince has been in Washington with Linda?
Click to expand...
That usually has happened in the past but I'd venture to guess that he was there.

For as bad as the big booking shit can be with Roman the bigger issues are the pet peeve shit.

Like making Cole yell Bizzaro World while in Toronto or "look at the size of the big show" right after Cole mentioned he lost weight.

Dean is in Randy Orton mode right now. When Dean cares, his matches are damn good.

I don't think that's the case at all. I'm being honest when I say I can't remember any match with Dean in which he wasn't just decent at best, and the reason for that is that he's not only sloppy, but also, his offense is terrible. It's possible to be sloppy and still enjoyable, but when the performer is sloppy and it's move set looks super flaccid, it becomes very hard to overlook the bad stuff.

It's still not close to being as bad as Enzo (and Dean's match with Haitch was pretty good, same with AJ).

Shoot: A lot of people talk about how The Shield masked Roman's short comings as a wrestler, but The Shield masked a lot of Ambrose's short comings as a wrestler as well.

Dean vs HHH
Dean vs KO Tables match
Dean vs Seth Heck in a Cell

Those are the good matches off the top of my head.

Ambrose is a good wrestler when he is against someone good or great. I don't think he's ever had a good match with someone low on the card. Kind of the same with a Roman but even Roman had a weirdly good match with a Big Show.

It masked all their shortcomings. Reigns is a great hot tag with a few big powermoves, Rollins is a good face in peril, and Ambrose is good for short bursts of high energy action.

They complemented each other really, really well

That's not my argument though, I was disagreeing with Dean being in Orton mode and able to have good matches. Enzo and Cass have been consistently one of the things I dislike the most in the rare occasions I watch RAW.

I also disagree with the examples of good performance you gave, as, in my opinion, the first one wasn't a good match and the second one didn't have a good performance by Dean. I hate to be that guy and usually I disagree with such claims (Reigns did great against AJ, both did well), but the second example you gave was on AJ... Dean's offense was bad and he telegraphed everything to a ridiculous extent.

Cesaro and Roman had an excellent match during the Survivor Series tournament in 2015.

That doesn't go against the claim though, Cesaro is great. However, I agree with you in that Reigns is actually a damn good worker and underestimated by most due to the booking decisions.

Roman is a much better worker than Ambrose. Whether you think Ambrose is a better wrestler underneath is another story, fact is that Roman consistently puts on better matches.

They did. A really good match. I phrased it wrong when I said low on the card. I meant it in that I don't think Ambrose is good enough to take someone like say, Darren Young or Big Cass and have a great match with them but can have a great match with someone like KO or AJ.

I wouldn't say either him or Roman get carried. Takes two to tango.

stolen from reddit

Mick Foley recently appeared on Lilian Garcia's podcast. During the interview, Foley brought up an incident where Vince McMahon yelled at Braun Strowman:

"I was about to go out there a couple weeks ago, and I heard Braun Strowman say, I want a title shot. Mr. McMahon's behind the curtain, at the board watching the monitor, and he goes, oh god, it's not a title shot. I was thinking to myself, then what is it? That's exactly what I would go to call it when I would go out there. You want a title shot? He's like, it's a title match. It's a match! So if you ever wonder what it's like to see a six-foot-eight, three hundred pound behemoth get chewed out, you should've been there."

As a mark for spots, Roman's over the top rope dive is better than anything Ambrose has ever done.
