I think I see what he really means by that was not easy to say, I genuinely thought people were joking about the donkey dung yet here it is.
Yeah it's so odd, because Nash had a great personality when he could let loose in WCW. Hell, Roman might too if they ever let him.
Save us Bryan.

Exactly what went through my head. Also, Roman's voice is just not commanding at all. I said it before, but for a guy with a great look, who we're supposed to buy as some bad ass, there is literally ZERO confidence in his voice. Even during the Shield run, it was like that. Maybe the "Shield" was some kinda rib about how Ambrose and Rollins had to protect him the whole time.
Shield him, make Roman look strong.
He is in the same boat. When he goes out on the promotional stuff he shows his real personality. When he comes to the WWE he is not handed bullet points to get the idea of the promo but instead promos by a out of touch old man.
So he is screwed.
Jesus, he's awful.

Roman probably just didnt feel right because it was the first time he appeared in front of a WWE crowd dry
That's the thing, he has no aura on the mic. If you think the script is bad, just know that Sina coudl've ended Seth-kun's run with the exact same material.
They put Colter with Jack Swagger. It's a crime they haven't done more with him in this latest tenure.

I missed Reigns "Superman" promo on Monday. How much worse was it than the one from this weeks Smackdown?

As much as I dislike Cena, he would've at least worked with the shit that he was forced to say. Even if it's corny as hell, he says everything with some kinda conviction behind it.
That's the thing though, you have to make Roman look strong, you can't do that by giving him a manager. Managers are for heels mostly, not to mention if he's being primed as the top guy, he needs to go out there and cut promos and fall on his face. They're giving him this mic time to make him more comfortable. That's why like 98% of the roster is so shit with promos. Even Seth was terrible, but with no other Heels during the year, he had to cut promos, he had to improve and he did.
I don't know why they don't get that. Give people more time to speak.

Go right ahead. Have fun with your new comedy gimmick on superstars and jobbing for the next eight or so months on RAW. Good luck even trying to make PPV pre-shows. You're supposed to grab the brass ring, but you get punished for it.

Sufferin succatash though, I can't get over that line.
You need The Rock level of charisma to pull off saying a line like that, Vince is strapping a rocket and sabotaging Reigns at the same time.

I love Hogan's Georgia Dome Nitro promo. It's the usual stuff, but it's delivered so perfectly. And with the perfect crowd for Hogan to work. I think it's the promo I'll always point to when people ask me why Hogan was a good heel. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it feels like the perfected 'good guy turned heel blasting the next big babyface' promo.

my favorite part is when he does the "pause so the audience can cheer" moment, and they don't even bother to pipe in a seagull pop
You think **turn to hard camera and wink** isn't in the script?
Indeed, what the hell is this gear?
Well, his finisher is the "superman" punch. Vince wants him to look like a comic book hero. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts sporting an "R" on his chest.
He doesn't look like a superhero, he looks like a twit.
He look alright to me, i seen worse.

The Incredible Twit
He looks fine. Just need promo and ring work.
His gear while in the Shield was good, that gear looks downright silly.
Most wrestlers look silly.

It could be but it just strange because no one does that. Plus why would he even do that after that horrible line he delivered before that.
The gear is okay the problem is he is being handed promos by a out of touch man that is handing Bryan the rumble win.
Vince has strapped an ACME rocket onto Reigns.

That reminds me, why did barrett lose on smackdown? Didn't he just win the fucking IC title?

Damn, Trevor Lee vs Biff Busick from EVOLVE 36 last night was pretty great. Well worth seeking out.
Also, Gargano got probably the best match I've seen out of Shane Strickland, but it also served to highlight how much better Gargano is. Strickland's fine, but in spite of some big high-flying offence, little he does is terribly impressive and he seems to have difficulty emoting and engaging the crowd.
*edit, also, here's your indywrestling.gif of the day;
Like, what was he going for? Oh, I'll just springboard flip into fucking nothing. Seems like a good idea.

There are SO many NWO shirts in this 97 nitro. Like it was always hot, but I think there's more NWO shirts than non-NWO shirts.
Because it's the fucking IC title and nobody gives a shit about it.
