Probably 2012, but he hasn't gotten much bigger and Rollins has.

EDIT:


More recent ones. Guy's not fat, he just doesn't look like a powerhouse. Plus they're probably clinging to the Shield thing since he's dry enough as is, nevermind if he had to create a whole new persona.

You crazy. That dude is backed up as fuck. Just isn't ripped like Rollins.

WWE needs to drop the vest and give the man some asshole trunks.
 
At next Smackdown Rock will show up and reveal that Roman was never his relative and Ambrose is actually his far away cousin
Roman isn't his relative. The relationship is kayfabe.
 
I don't think he's fat, I just think he's a tougher sell as this super strong guy when he's probably smaller than Rollins.

lol I remember the first video game the Shield showed up in, I thought it was a fuckup on Yukes' part when I saw Roman was the smallest of the three.

Then I looked up their actual stats and was like "waaaaaaaaaat"

Presentation goes a LONG way.
 
Heel Jericho is so good. Orton has a face is, well, bad.

PPV was pretty enjoyable. Zayn v Owen was awesome but that's what they do. Triple threat had some weird spots but it was okay. In the end that Smackdown roster looked so thin.

I'm curious to see how the brand split will work.

Also, Enzo will be a giant star. Big Cass is tall and will be given chance after chance no matter the result but man, Enzo is going to be huge. JBL being all over Cass shows how misguided they are right now with those two.
 
I'll take a wait and see on the idea of Vince cooling off on Roman. Losing to Rollins and Ambrose isn't proof of anything in the regard. When he's eating losses to KO and Jericho, we can talk about that.



I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What's he gonna do? He's Samoan.

Battleground was top to bottom one of the more entertaining WWE PPVs in a while, to be honest. I was pleasantly surprised. Only match I was kind of blah about was Natalya vs Becky.

Jesus Christ, that pop for Bayley was insane
 
Noticed something about the Sami botch, it looks like Kevin Owens dives forward with his arm at the last second to try and save/catch/soften the landing for Sami.

Obviously that's his job, but something about it in the context of the story makes me glad.

To be honest, KOs arm only reaches about Zayn's leg level and that is so that the move will look like it made actual contact where if he stayed where he was it would have missed totally.
 
Lol great quote from LAW:

'Seth Rollins' turnbuckle power bomb can end Sting's career but do nothing to Roman Reigns'

Pretty much sums up Reigns' character right there.
 
Oh come on. Sting's career ending from that powerbomb was utterly accidental and unintentional. It's ridiculous that we should now treat it like an ultra finisher. Should we treat Gotch throwing someone into the ropes as an ultra finisher as well since it gave Enzo a concussion? One of the most minor, nitpicky things you can complain about.
 
Just rewatching the main event, how Reigns can barely lift Rollins and Ambrose is really funny.

I understand the he was tired at this moment at match, it was near the end, but if they're still trying to make Roman look strong they're doing it wrong

new japan used the real, accidental injuries caused by the styles clash to prop that move up to mythical status. you wouldn't just get pinned if you took a clash, YOU MIGHT JUST DIE

using real injuries to prop up moves to ultra finisher status is the most believable thing you could do, honestly
 
Legit shocked Ambrose retained, whoa.
Love how Bayley got a fucking huge pop while the crowd seemed to not even care about Orton.

Zayn and KO stole the show like always though.
 
Pretty good show from start to finish.

Zayn/KO was one of if not the best match I have seen this year. The delivery of both guys was great, the little things they did to remind us throughout the match that they hate each other was pretty good.

Another standout segment in the show was Enzo's promo. Very funny, very electrifying. If they play their cards right they are gonna make A LOT of money with this guy in the future. Probably the best promo-guy on the active roster.

It was really sad, especially with Rollins tossing Reigns around with far less effort.
 
I marked out when I heard Mojo Rowley's theme

It really was the dumbest moment of the night.
They did not even have him come out when Zack was getting beat on, Zack was laying there and Rusev just staring at him and in comes this idiot running down and barking in Rusev's face.
Rusev's face was perfect.

His tweet was even better.

I think that Tweet may indirectly be Mojo's greatest contribution to the WWE.

How did anyone beat D'Lo Brown after 1999? the Running Powerbomb ends careers, it's called continuity!

TYPICAL VINCE
