It’s Seth man, I’m telling you! He’s the avatar of doom, everyone he interacts with gets injured five minutes later.

Well, Rollins & Strowman are without a doubt the Two Main Guys of RAW for the upcoming Future.

Rollins has over Years proved having a pretty Good Presence, he may be no Punk on the Mic, but he can deliver pretty Solid Promos for sure! :)

It was his somewhat lackluster feud with Triple H, and his really quite boring face run directly after that which made me wonder if he had the presence of a superstar. Fans just tend to go apathetic when he’s not actually in the ring, where as Roman can bring down the noise just by standing there. And the man himself isn’t the most expressive or outgoing, his interviews are extremely sedate affairs.

But as I said, he’s getting better. More fire in him, more personality.

And Braun just illustrates the difficulty of having a monster as your primary babyface. He’s so massively dominant that he would have to be nerfed just to fit the role, it’s like having the Undertaker as your primary babyface. Put simply, his virtues aren’t suited to the position, and he would be a lesser performer if forced into it. In fact I would compare him directly to the Undertaker, and note Taker was very resistant to the idea of him as champion (which is why he’s had a mere scattering of belts, despite his length of time in the company and position on the card).

I’m waiting for wrestling to instantly become awesome again, now that the Roman agenda has finally ended.

…any second now.

Shane McMahon kept mentioning that the tournament will prove who’s the best in the world and he kept saying “best in the world” so much that a loud CM Punk chant happened. Shane handled it perfectly, however, saying “I don’t think he’s in this tournament”. It was a brilliant response.

MMA Fights have ended in 15 Seconds & similar, I mean even Rousey got Squashed Twice in her Fights so i don’t see the Deal to mock Punk at All to give my Two Cents here! :D

 
Of course, Ronda and CM Punk are exactly the same.
 
…minus all twelve of her wins, and the fact that one of his losses was to this joker.  

I’m struggling to see what’s so special about Io Shirai. I’ve found all her matches so far to be somewhat slow, she doesn’t have enough of a gimmick to stand apart from Asuka and Kairi, and her ‘genius of the sky’ thing becomes unintentionally funny when she’s missed every moonsault in the tournament.

She’s alright, but there’s been much better.
