Celebrating the Shield

[AstroBoy]

Thought I would throw out a plug for my continuing series on prowrestlingonly.com

Celebrating the Shield covers the entire run of The Shield from their debut until their breakup in summer 2014.  I explore not only matches involving the group, but also their impact on tag team wrestling and its presentation in the company.  Check it out!

Just want to say I'm loving this series and I'm so glad you're doing it. The Shield are one of my favourite things, from the match quality to the presentation and booking.

So far you've rated their matches in about the same order as me too.

Thank you for the kind words.  Big fan of the Divas Deep Dive as well!

Check out Part 8 of Celebrating The Shield, which looks at the WWE starting to force The Shield into a decidedly non-special midcard role throughout the summer.  Highlights include that awesome match against The Usos at the Money in the Bank pre-show!

Part 9 of this series sees The Shield relegated to lackeys for Triple H while still managing some standout six man tags in between.  Check it out!
