My other problem is that's for some fans that are mad about Reigns beings shove down their throat but when one of their favorite get the same treatment like Finn Balor did last year, it'S o.k. because they like the guy. So i think their always going to be a double standard with internet fans about who can be shove down fans throat and who can't.
Okay let tell you what I see from where I'm sitting and you can tell me if I'm wrong or not.
When the Shield debuted they quickly became one of the best things on TV each week. Not only did they have a fantastic run, great booking and incredible matches, the chemistry between the three of them worked. They were magic.
After the Shield break up, all of them should have gone on to crave out singles careers for themselves, they were already on top.
Ambrose became the Lunatic Fringe. The crazy nutter who would take on all comers and it didn't matter what kind of heavy equipment they were driving at the time. By the way he still remains the most over of the three Shield members today.
Rollins was a Authority Stooge, the chosen one. He proclaimed he was smarter than everyone else, after all wasn't he the one who created the Shield to begin with. Then he went to Redesign, Reclaim and Rebuild, or something like that after his knee injury. Now he's Seth Freakin Rollins.
Both of them left the Shield behind and while Ambrose has had the better of the two, Rollins if they can redo his face turn will be right up there as well.
Roman Reigns is still a member of the Shield. Nothing about him changed. Same music, same riot gear and until recently he was still coming through the crowd with the ghosts of Ambrose and Rollins with him. Who is Roman Reigns, what is his gimmick? I see a big guy who is a cousin of the Rock's, has kids and wants to be champion. Well hell almost everyone else on the roster has kids and wants to be champion as well.
Even his "This is my yard" "I'm the big dog", that's taken from the Shield as well. Remember when they were the Hounds of Justice, and it was their yard. All creative did was turn a plural into a singular. Yes he got better in the ring, but his mic work is still bad.
You can't use the excuse that he moves a lot of merchandise as an excuse, because he didn't always. So what's the excuse for the push before that happened. The only time he gets universally cheered is when he, Ambrose and Rollins are in a multi-man match and they tease a Shield reunion. Yea again we're back to the Shield, aren't we.
Listen I don't hate the guy, but don't see why he's getting all of this handed to him on a silver platter when I see no evolution from him in the 5 years he's been on the roster. I don't hate him, just confused as too what they see in him other than his looks and family background.
