Nah Roman is a smooth looking cat (n/h) that at times reminds me of a comic book character with poses he strikes and the things he does. Im not saying he should headline Wrestlemania 31 but for someone that green he definitely has it.

Ryback is a big dumb meathead that looks like a big dumb meathead. I never liked him for a second but he was getting over as a face before WWE threw it away for no reason.

With any kind of push I see Roman coming out ahead of Ryback everytime tho.

He and Ryback aren't the best wrestlers and Ryback can be entertaining as hell when the 'E let's him be but he ain't got the powerful striking moves that Roman has. Or his face. A lot of people think that Roman has no charisma or personality but that brooding quiet thing works for him. It can make him look menacing, cool AND it's sexy as fukk at the same time. He has something for everyone. When he runs his fingers through his hair :ahh: that shyt alone makes an impact. He makes you want to watch him. He just commands attention especially when he's in his zone. You just don't wanna look away. (Except for that Bray vs Roman singles match. shyt was boring I wanted to SHIELD my eyes from that :sadbron:)
Not only that, but these Shield dudes just have chemistry with each other. That's why I don't think too many other people would've worked in place of ANY of the guys. The natural synergy in the ring is amazing to watch. They struck lightning with the Shield.

No, Ryback seems at his best when they mix in some comedy, that would be a better way to go. Make his character closer to his twitter personality.

No need...he was much more over than all of them. Booking failed him...like it did Shelton, MVP, Hakushi, Nexus, etc.
ryback was definitely not more over than the shield...he had a chant over more..but the BABYFACE pop they're getting now is huge...feed me more chant doesn't draw money or sell merchandise. You KNOW if they booked shield vs. [3 random heels] it would be a huge draw everywhere.

We can agree, booking failed ryback (AND MVP, Hakushi, and Nexus, namely wyatt), but he wasn't going to be on the shield's level.

Nah, man. Ryback was pretty over....they cheered him HARD over heel fan favorite Punk when everyone thought he would get booed out. Ryback came out to some HUGE pops for a minute. He was definitely over before they had Punk going over him all the time.
