I understand why these comparisons are made but I don't see it at all myself. Rollins obviously does have some aesthetic similarities to Punk when he first joined, and both are exceptional workers - but that's it for me. Rollins is a fairly reserved guy who does his talking in the ring and is perfectly suited to the face role, whereas Punk is/was a loud mouthed asshole who was born a heel. Rollins is talented but I just don't see him getting anywhere near to where Punk is at the moment.

I think the comparisons are more so the look and ring ability. Rollnis is a natural face, Punk is a natural heel. Rollins is decent on the mic, Punk is exceptional on the mic. But they are very similar in the ring and their look (especially Punk from a few years ago) is identical pretty much.

That's why I said Punk's early WWE days. :tough:
But I'm not sure if you're talking about current Punk or early 2006-2008 Punk.
Rollins Mic skills scream Babyface. No lie.

This. Rollins is a decent mic worker who like most natural faces steps his game up when put next to an amazing mic worker. Rollins will be an upper mid carder at least in the WWE and if given the right chances can reach higher. His ringwork does speak more for him though than his talking.

This is what I've gathered and theorized about how Shield will operate and work after discussing it with Sheldor and Waco. Judging by their actions and the interview.

Ambrose is the aggressor of the group. the aggressive one with the psychotic edge who will most likely bend the groups idealistic goals to his own ideals. He is not the leader right now. But he most likely will assume or steal command down the road.

Rollins is the idealistic one of the group. He is the one who honestly and actively believes in the ideas that they say that they stand for. He seems to be the leader right now but I expect Ambrose to steal it from him, setting up A Rollins face turn (and most of us who have followed Rollins knows that he works much better as a face.) Which will most likely lead to an interesting rivalry between Rollins and Ambrose or maybe Rollins and Punk down the line.

Reigns is the muscle and in ring commander it seems. He calls the shots in the ring at least with their big moves. He seems to be the one to direct the traffic so to speak. He is a mostly silent giant who only speaks when needed, which is good since it protects him. He seems to be there to keep Rollins and Ambrose together since he has the physical size to stop them if either goes too far.

Note that this is all assumptions and interpretations from my point of view but I know that Waco agrees with me at least somewhat as does Sheldor. What do you think? Will there be a different dynamic between the three or does mine seem reasonable?

Can't really argue with ur thinking on this one Stop seems spot on especially with the way that interview panned out last night with Ambrose taking over in it etc...

Great post

Theres no way these three will be top stars this time next year. I bet only one of them will make it while the other two fail

Ambrose - Future main eventer
Rollins - Upper midcard, could even break into the main event if he goes down the Hardy route.
Reigns - No idea

None of them are getting released.
