I'm fine with him no selling. But have some respect for the move that killed Stank.
maybe Sting just oversold

I mean Hogan used to no sell at the end of the match too but the hulk up was kinda his thing and he would signal the audience before he did it. When Roman just bounces off the the turnbuckle like nothing and seamlessly transitions into a superman punch, it totally takes us by surprise but not in a good way. The logic that they've constructed states that move should have hurt him more.
On a totally other note, I don't even think a guy like Seth even benefits from doing that kind of power move. In my opinion he's too small to deliver credible powerbombs against bigger looking guys like that. His big money spots should be strictly limited to aerial strikes, that's where he's believable and that's where he most excels. That knee thing he does is great. But sorry I just don't think he should be out there giving guys POWERBOMBS.

I never paid attention to it...he does hit that Superman punch in kind of ridiculous situations where he could sell more.

yea, I know what you're thinking, "another Roman thread?"
But this is one I haven't seen been discussed. We mention it when it happens, but never had a real discussion about it.
I know some wrestlers no sell moves, to an extent. See when it happens at least they sell the move after they do their move. Roman just keeps on going like nothing happened.
It's a little irritating.
And it has happened more than once, which is why I decided to bring it up.
Ehhh, you can find this kind of problem with selling in almost every match, everywhere in the world if you want to nitpick. This could be a "wrestlers no selling moves" more than just Roman.
What he did last night in the triple threat didn't bother me because it's a typical spot for that kind of match, and both Seth and Dean were doing similar stuff. I was more bothered by Reigns having to no sell the Powerbomb through the announce table. and that is as much on Roman as it is on Ambrose, Rollins and specially the agent putting the match together.
I get more pissed when a guy like Rollins decides he'll make the Superplex a nothing move just so he can hit a Falcon Arrow that adds absolutely nothing to a match. Or a guy like Nakamura refusing to sell the leg after it's been worked over for a good chunk of a match just because he HAS to connect his kicks and not look like it hurts him (and he's been doing it for years btw, not just in the match vs Balor). What guys like Roman and Cena do is fukked up because they are booked to survive everything and that's hard as fukk to pull off in a match, sometimes it gets goofy but doesn't detract from a match to me (like Reigns vs AJ Styles or last night's main event and KO vs Zayn) but it can easily become annoying (like Cena vs Nexus at Summerslam 2010, his feud with Ziggler or the cash-in match vs Sandow). I've seen Roman pop up from a move, hit his and then sell, or sell something, connect his move and go back to selling...those are things that can be fixed with time or go full retard and ruin matches, we'll have to wait and see.

It's not just this match. He's done it various times.
The main one was the extreme rules match with AJ. AJ hit him numerous times with a chair AND a Styles Clash ON a chair; dude barely sold it and there was still 3-5 minutes left in the match.

No. Too long.
I saw the Roman part about no selling then selling, etc. I don't like it when dudes does it continuously, which he's guilty of. Maybe he just doesn't know how to sell?
