If they let Seth loose, probably. Seth has improved a shyt ton on the mic :ehh:

And Finn ain't that good on the mic so I expect him to be outshined by Rollins

Of course he's gonna outshine him...that's a no brainer. I just wonder how bad it will get.

They won't let him.

Just like HHH didn't go all in on Roman like he normally does

And the best part of the Punk's "make Roman look strong" thing is that it literally had nothing to do with Roman. It was a commentary on WWE creative/Vince, not Roman. Yet smarks ran with that shyt and put it 100% on Roman, as if he somehow has been booking himself this whole time. That whole meme started from wrestling fans being to fukking stupid too realize he was insulting the writers.

"Right. So I took the idea to Hunter, I took it to Vince, they agreed. Vince was immediately like 'who do you have in mind?' And I said '(Dean) Ambrose, Rollins, Chris Hero, or Kassius Ohno.' Hunter shot down Hero. They wanted Roman Reigns. They came to me and they were like 'what about Leakee?' I didn't... it wasn't my hill to die on. I said 'sure' because it made sense to me. Oh, they want their guy in, he's the pretty guy, but that's good because this guy can learn from working under me."

The obvious implication that follows would be that Roman isnt ready for the push and hes the favored one from management. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were the two top guys in FCW at the time, Roman was very much green and lagged behind the other two.

The actual context of "Make Roman Look Strong" had nothing to do with Roman. The point of the story was WWE's creative team and management were treating Punk like he didn't know how to do the job he'd been doing for 15 years, and it pissed him off. It could have been Santino. It could have been Ted DiBiase Jr. Roman was not the point of that story at all. Punk was making :skip:faces at the idea that management even had to tell him to make his opponent look good.

The pops Roman got when he was with the Shield tells you all you need to know about how over he really is
If Roman was truly over, Bryan wouldnt have made a difference.

one can argue that he didn't



WWE Network, happy searching

I posted three videos ranging from Dec 30, 2013 to January 6, 2014 which proves your words to be bullshyt. When Punk stated everyone says Roman Reigns is the best one in the shield, the line received no reaction.

Because he's gotten himself over around the world, in NXT without help. He created the bullet club, which is still drawing money. He didn't need a artificial push

Oh i agree that Roman shouldn't be hated at this point, but this is what happens when you try to force things instead of letting things naturally happen. Had Roman paid some legit dues before his push, the fans would have been behind him. But that's not at all what happened. Sheamus is another guy like that, though I completely loathe him.

Did Sheamus get this kind of heat?
