Such an awesome promo... love the little nuance there where Ambrose was kinda breaking kayfabe and saying smart-mark stuff I've read on Twitter about the "John Cena problem" and the "lack of consequences for his actions", while this resonates with the Cena bashers the kiddies who love Cena probably simply thought he came off as a deranged prick that needs to get more sun. Only Ambrose can pull that off.

Reign's part was kept small, and Rollins seemed to have trouble remembering his lines but delivered them with authority and purpose.

I love Jim Ross but he's so off the mark there.

Exactly. If there was one place that Ambrose/Moxley/Whatever one wants to call him developed his skills it was CZW since that was were he spent most of his early career. If "the system" had any influence on his mic work it's maybe that it helped fine tune it when he was in developmental but he didn't need to learn how to speak.

I liked all of them on the mic, Reigns had a short part but that's expected. Rollins and Ambrose both did good jobs, it's a shame they're getting buried at EC.

Was a great promo indeed, always nice to see Ambrose on the mic. Rollins is improving, Reigns made me cringe a bit but OK.

lol, pump the brakes. Pillman was the man.

He reminds me a lot of Pillman in the way he speaks and his mannerisms. In ring he could never touch him.

Pillman in my opinion was louder and screamed a bit more, but they have very similar characteristics.

With the last two RAW's resulting in Team SuperSmilies getting the upper-hand, does anyone else have a feeling of optimism regarding Shield winning?

Standard booking logic would say that the person/faction who stands tall during the last week/s leading up to payoff is the one losing. Problem here is neither of the three faces is someone we'd see take the pin. Had there been a midcard face (insert Kofi) there he would have obviously been pinned.

Cena gets KO'd, Sheamus gets KO'd, it takes three of them to pin Ryback CASE CLOSED! GAME OVER!

I believe Shield takes this one home pinning Sheamus. #TeamOptimism

Ambrose goes to bed at night praying he can become half as great as Pillman was.
