I still say the only way that should have ended was with Reigns punching him in the mouth. THEN it would have came off as mocking. Reigns laughing it off just added to it's awkwardness. Exactly. Maybe Lesnar was supposed to be out there and they had to wing it? That is if Lesnar actually "walked out" like we're getting reports of. But that's part of my mini-rant, earlier. If I were there and they're like "What do we do with Roman?" Have Paul go out, mock him, and Reigns just punches him in the mouth. That their possible response to WINGING it has Heyman doing that back and forth rant, followed by Reigns busting out some semi-sensical trash talk...that's a problem with creative/handling. Not Reigns, or his character, perse.

I believe it was preferred 5 years of film/tv experience. I've been working in film for over a decade. Two of my 3 Features thus far have Int'l Distribution (both of which I've written), and I have a BS in Business. I've had 5 years minimum experience in just what it takes to market to foreign countries, etc, as a lot of indie distributors care far more for what sells in Germany, the Middle East, and Asia, than what ever plays well here. *Edit* the only one of my films that doesn't have distro yet is the one I have the trailer for in my sig. And that's just because it's still being worked on. I've spanned a lot of the genres WWE looks for, too. Drama, action, and comedy, namely. Sounds like a nice little resume! Make Wfigs proud!! Good luck. Patiently waiting. Single. No kids. Travel/moving to CT is no problem for me. And after researching the company more, they're a great fit for me. I love writing. The indie film experience has led me to be able to make changes on the fly (you'd be surprised how many actors flake when they're only being paid cold cut sandwiches)...they have WWE Studios, and they do a lot of charitable work I support, and the company is all about fitness, so -- it's really a great fit, I think. Appreciate the vote of confidence, though.

It was to get Roman over, while also keeping Brock over and strong. ie "Roman you can beat all these susperstars/greats, but you still can't beat Brock."

Ah. I didn't see your earlier post. lol But yeah, Reigns should have loaded it and made it Reign in that bitch on Heyman haha. It would have then conveyed that Heyman was clearly mocking him.

My problem isn't so much with what Paul was saying, but HOW he said it. He just didn't seem on his game last night. Maybe he was distracted by whatever went down with Lesnar? It came off awkward, and forced, as much as it did "Hey you're good, but Lesnar's better". Just not what we've come to get from Heyman regularly. He did basically the same thing on the snowed-in ep of RAW a few weeks back, and it was beautiful. Just seemed distracted, last night.

But he still flowed well like classic Heyman I felt, and he's a god on the mic so he doesn't get a pass from me like some might, lol

Was just a whole lot of Roman 'love' all at once.

Someone give this man 1,000 likes. I share this exact sentiment, and like you I don't dislike Reigns either, actually enjoyed him alot more during his Shield days. But it is becoming painfully obvious, even to the most casual fan, that they're force feeding this guy down everyone's throat... And he's just NOT ready.

Well, I was fine with the Bryan stuff, (and I known there are still haters, but Bryan has gotten legit good--not amazing--but legit good on the mic), the Heyman stuff should have just been handled differently.. differing interpritation or not. And for the Record (not relating to anything you've said), the ending was handled well, and I dug the playfulness of Roman and Bryan. Made them both look good.

Just as guys. Between last night, their match, and the weeks leading up to Fastlane.

Just as guys. Between last night, their match, and the weeks leading up to Fastlane. They really do. Throw in Wyatt, Ambrose, and Rollins. These guys all work pretty damn well together. This also means we have many, many years of great matches ahead, if everything plays out.

Wow I missed that part.
My stupid DVR was dead and it didn't record the first hour and 10 minutes or so of Raw.
I started watching during the final minutes of Reign's promo with Heyman and it was BAD.....
I guess I need to watch the rest I missed, specifically Ziggler/Barrett.

His match with Brock is going to be so bad. I can hardly wait for this snoozefest. Youre putting a guy who is still green as grass in the ring with a guy who has 1 match every 4-5 months. Lesnar needs to be carried to a good match just as much as Roman needs to be carried to a good match.

I don't hate Romen Reigns but I hate the fact that he is getting the mega push and he is clearly green. He should be slowly elevated and be protected with a mouthpiece. Then when and if he starts to get over and improve all aspects of his game then you give him a push. For f##k sake he only had 3 singles matches on ppv.

More like two: vs. Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2014 vs. Daniel Bryan at Fastlane 2015 Since The Shield's breakup, Roman Reigns' other PPV matches were: vs. Kane, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Bray Wyatt and Cesaro at Money In The Bank 2014 The Royal Rumble match Factor in the match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXXI, it would be his fifth PPV match since going solo and only his third PPV singles match.

He was in a Fatal Four Way WWE Title match at Battleground. Again he was in there with other wrestlers that can disguise his flaws though.
