stomperspc Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns - This made Reigns looks so bad and I blame Orton. His slow headlock offense is not what the crowd wants to see. Plus, I don’t buy Orton as a main player anymore. I can accept Reigns the Superhero injured because Kane and Orton and Rollins all took him out. Looking like a pussy against Orton just hurts his mystique. Decent ending to a pretty good match but God Randy Orton needs to go away NOW! I thought the ending (last 4 or 5 minutes) was laid out well in a way that benefited Reigns. Agreed that the beginning and body wasn't the sort of thing Reigns should be doing at this stage, but that was inevitable when they paired him with Orton.

sek69 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 That's definitely Rick Rubin behind the announcers by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I don't see how it made Reigns look bad. He's a barely established singles wrestler who just beat one of the company's longest standing stars clean on a big stage. The end of the match was pretty good, actually, especially Orton's powerslam counter to the spear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steenalized Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hate that counter spot. Why is Reigns trying to spear him in the neck Superman punch attempt, not spear. That makes more sense but still looks bad and I think it's a terrible counter. Orton's powerslam, on the other hand, looked amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the match was pretty good, actually, especially Orton's powerslam counter to the spear. It makes him look bad because they are supposed to be building him up as the next Superman. He just got out wrestled early on. There was no natural dominance from Reigns early with a natural transition that lead to Orton taking over. He just took over and made me fall asleep.

The Man in Blak Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've defended Orton before, but he sleepwalked through that match; headlocks and standing around galore. Couple of hot moments from killer counters from Orton (powerslam on the spear, jumping RKO), but this made both guys look bad. EDIT: And while this was 75% on Orton, Reigns didn't exactly light up the arena either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I would like to see it in an outdoor stadium but not sure where you would do that in NY/NJ? Coney Island? Maybe CITI Field or Yankees stadium? Met Life Stadium would be way too big I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mathc had no heat early on because he killed the crowd with his lame offense. There was no shine!!! No reason for the crowd to care about Reigns early on. He looked like a bitch.

Russellmania Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Orton took a match that nobody cared about in the worst spot on the card and managed to get the crowd into it. I genuinely have no idea what more you could ask of him there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So hyped for this Cena/Lesnar match! I am going to say Brock does not win the title here to set up the rematch at NOC. That's my crazy prediction. Regardless should be badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the early part of the match was poorly laid out. I just feel like people are overreacting. This result shouldn't hurt Reigns. What might hurt him is an inability to work compelling 15-20-minute singles matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
