too bad his look resembles nunzio mixed with dicpario in the revenant

good addition to the tag team scene, will never get a singles push

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:30 pm

Probably because he's just being himself lol, listen to Stone Cold Podcast with Enzo and Cass and he's no different in real life.

That's the issue really, a lot of people they try to force scripted lines on them. No coincidence that the best mic guys are clearly not scripted and being themselves.

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:34 pm

His look shouldn't be a problem imo, at least not nowadays when most people have an average physique. Plus his attire/colour/beard/hair etc make him stand out.

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:34 pm

Just imagine this main event scene, totally stacked. :bow:

Heel Cena
Bray
Sandow
Ambrose
Enzo
Jericho
Miz

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:41 pm

Enzo's issue other than the look is he literally has nothing in the ring Laughing

He spends most of the tag teams getting beat up lol.

People hate on Reigns be has x10 times the moveset, besides you can sell a Reigns match with 5 moves of doom a lot easier than you can Enzo doing the same (he doesn't even have 5 moves of doom anyway lol)

Because of this if you are small guy you have to have a vast moveset, never seen a small guy get success ever who wasn't amazing in the ring.

But I thought Bryan only did kicks. hmm

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:51 pm

Initially Reigns having 3 moves was one of the reasons why I disliked him. But he's improved a lot since then.

Main reason now is he's bland, has no character or mic skills. Would be on superstars if it wasn't for his look imo.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:52 pm

I retracted that recently tbf Laughing

He still kicks far too much imo, but my problem in the end was that I didn't find him entertaining rather than him actually being bad.

I accept now he was an amazing in ring performer even if it wasn't always my cup of tea. hmm

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:57 pm

It's actually ironic really. Sandow who happens to be organically over, has character/mic skills/charisma is on superstars, yet Reigns who has none of that is the face of the company. Laughing

Yep that's my issue with him too, he's just so boring to listen to lol. Everything just feels so forced and disjointed.

I think you're undervaluing the portrayal and booking of those guys though. Sure Reigns sucks at those things, but he's always been booked strong. Sandow on the other has been booked as a jobber and sidekick at times. I will however say both of those guys were booked the wrong way.

WWE creative obviously value their booking and portrayal higher when it comes to these guys, which is why they're in the spots they are in now.

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:18 pm

Had to quote myself, made more sense. hmm

Can't confirm how legit the source is, but yeh, here are spoilers for Payback.

We'll see

A lot of it seems very fantasy booking though Laughing

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:45 pm

Looks like prime Russo booking. Proud

It's seems obvious that Shane is going to feud with Triple H soon. It's the only logical thing to do with them at this point.

But brand split? John Cena "surprise"? Roman Empire? Sounds pure fantasy.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:04 pm

Exactly, don't expect Cena to come back until after the next PPV tbh. Same case with Orton and Rollins.

by Onyx Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:11 pm

A cheeky heel turn from Cena would be a good surprise. hmm

Roman Empire where he turns heel, gets a new character would be nice.

And brand split with Shane as GM on Smackdown with NXT guys.

WWE would be must watch with all of that imo.

Watching Raw

Reigns with one of the worst promos I have ever seen. Wow. Do they WANT him to fail?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:14 pm

Yeah it was disgustingly bad Laughing

Tbh i'd rather watch him in squash matches than try and see him cut awful promos every week. It's like they don't realise that watching him wrestle is the lesser evil of him cutting a promo.

by RealGunner Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:15 pm

UK fans are amazing. best fans in the world

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:16 pm

We are the best at everything imo hmm

by RealGunner Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:16 pm

Tbf the whole segment was shit.

by RealGunner Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:17 pm

Nvm it became GOAT

Henchmen duo :bow:
