kas Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 If Roman comes back with the SHIELD vest and music I'm gonna cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I see him keeping the vest for a number of reasons: merchandising, cover his hernia belt (if he still wears it), he's physically self-conscious. But they didn't play any music for him to close Summer Slam, which was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 He needs to ditch the vest, full stop. Not only does wrestling in body armor make him look weak, dressing like he's still in the Shield gives him a "guy who peaked in high school" vibe. He can wrestle in a t-shirt if he needs to cover his upper body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is wayyyyy too jacked. 25 minutes ago, MoS said: I want to know what @KawadaSmile thought of the Neymar Crying meme Man, I found those memes delicious. Pundits hyping him as best in the world in 2020 was absurd, so it was nice to have the hype die down a little. Fantastic player who once was a legit top 3 player in the world but way too pampered by the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have no issue with the vest and don't see it being like the Shield gear. It's basically a structured tank top and isn't paramilitary/tactical at all. A t-shirt is likely to rip mid-match and be a distraction. And I honestly can't think of what Roman would wrestle in besides his current gear at this point. But that's my take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm guessing Orton gets a rematch at Payback because...I don't know...but I'd actually be in favor of Keith Lee challenging him after that or maybe turning Owens heel. Aside from that, who else is there on Raw that's even a possibility? I haven't watched much programming recently, but I thought Garza and Andrade had good chemistry last night. I'm not sure why they weren't given the gold. At this point, I'm not even sure who else is in the division and the idea of the Street Profits being some sort of dominant team doesn't gel with me. Its like if the Bushwhackers had been given a 9-month title run beating the Rougeaus, the Hart Foundation, and the Brainbusters. Reigns' return was an injection that SmackDown desperately needed, so I'm optimistic that Vince recognizes that the Red Brand needs something big too, namely a fresh challenger for Drew once this Orton feud is over.

KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Drew feels happy for having a crowd to back him up. That's nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I love how Drew is basically like "I know Randy's going to challenge me because we have another PPV next week so you might as well get it over with". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Of course not. Shane even tweeted about it and his dad's birthday. Vince appearing there would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can jump from the balcony where the dancers are, just to show Gronk again how it's done (even though Gronk is no longer in the company).

sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I guess in kayfabe Tozawa's giant ninja just ceased to exist. I know the dude under the mask is guarding the door to RAW UNDERGROUND now, but it's funny how the giant ninja just got dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 In kayfabe it all makes sense, though. Being one of the ninja crew wasn't as lucrative as being the bouncer to Shane Cokehead's fight club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Why is Keith Lee wearing shorts that look like a skirt? If they've Kassius Ohno'd his gear, I'll be pissed. Otherwise, awesome segment and hot debut out of the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think his shorts are baggy, but since his sleeveless hoodie is a bit tighter, it makes it look like a skirt. But there's no reason to presume they completely overhauled his attire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all... ...except years and years of NXT acts getting fucked on the main roster, complete with unnecessary and detrimental character makeovers.
