WWE RAW Discussion Thread - November 26, 2012 from Lafayette, LA (#1018)

I haven't seen a whole lot of Ambrose but he looks like a natural. Instead of just cutting a normal promo, he'll put a bit of his own flair into what he's saying and make it interesting. The "nope" .gif is such a minor, insignificant thing but I like that. It's different. I remember a few months ago, Punk was cutting a promo but instead of doing the usual thing, he went over to the announcers table and sat directly in front of Lawler.

For me, one of the problems with the WWE right now is that it all looks too perfect. Everyone does exactly the same thing all the time. If that was another WWE wrestler, they wouldn't have added that expression which Ambrose added, and they would have delivered the Punk promo from the centre of the ring. These are really minor things yet I think they add a bit of flair and reality to a character, rather than the usual boring shtick we see from everyone else.

On another note, Roman Reigns has one of the best looks I've ever seen from a wrestler. He looks like a future WrestleMania main eventer.

Can I just say, before even reading this thread,

I MOTHERF*CKING CALLED IT.

A bit sooner than I expected, but hey, cant have everything.

EDIT: Yeah, Ambrose is a complete natural. Watching the interview it was staggering the difference between a guy like him and a stiff like Rollins. Same setting, same shiny production, same scripted lines, but one of them came off so much better than the other. You cant really teach that and it is the reason why one of them is going to succeed in this company so much more than the other. And inevitably dorks on the internet will whine and complain about WWE burying Tyler Black when he's jobbing to the Rybacks of the world, because WERKRATE. F*ck em. Ambrose is worth millions of dollars and he's worth every penny before he ever steps in the ring.

I would like to thank the Double Double E Spies for getting my Bryan/Rey order done so promptly. Ironically I found it almost impossible to enjoy because, much like Rey/Shawn, I sat through the entire match thinking "They could have the greatest match of all time" and not accepting anything less. But it was a lot of fun still and it only makes me all the more desperate for a proper match and/or feud. Needs to happen before Rey drops.

I think the endgame for the story of Punk and the Shield will be that Punk isnt pretending; he genuinely isnt in league with them and has no idea what they are doing. But...Heyman does. He just hasnt told Punk. For plausible deniability or to plant the seeds of dissention or whatever.

Also like to thank the Double Double E Spies for throwing the lame Ryback food promos out the window. Much appreciated.
