I wish I could just post literally everything they said during the match because it was all solid gold.
"Acknowledge me as your tribal chief." feels like it's gonna be Roman's game changing line.

I was sure this was just going to burn out the clock on the show, and wouldn't be able to top the Ambulance Match. Was I wrong on that one.

It’s Roman vs. Rock at mania isn’t it?

That match was a 5 star match to me. No it didn't have athletic flips, no it didn't have death defying stunts but what it had was amazing storytelling. It was such a simple story between family members that blurred the lines between realism and kayfabe. It also elevated all involved in it. Reigns looks more like a superheel, Jey looks more like a sympathetic babyface, Jimmy looks like a concerned brother, Heyman looks as though as he can't even tell Reigns shit he's just there to sign shit for him and the ref couldn't even do a damn thing this entire match besides end it.
f***ing amazing.
I love it. Favorite match of the year.

See, you see? See when you let someone cut loose? Holy shit, this Roman is great!
And like I said, I want that SHIELD Triple Threat again, but as their current characters.

Should have been nicer to the Big Dog when he was still all tame and docile, because now he grown into a goddamn hungry feral wolf, and he’s gonna get EVERYONE.

What I could make out of it between my connection freaking out seemed really good. I'll need it give it a more proper watch later.

See, shit like that is why I “defend” WWE main roster tv. When they hit the right notes, their in ring style of story telling is exactly what I want as a wrestling viewer.

I enjoyed the “over his head” story that took up a chunk of the match. Even before the bell rang, I legit got C.M Punk-In-The-UFC vibes.
But the match became absolutely compelling when it came down to the end consisting mainly of Roman’s character work. From “acknowledge me”, to spending a duration of the match eyeing the referee like a lion would a gazelle, to saying “My WWE”. Just absolutely amazing stuff.
For years, they wanted him to be Cena (and he might be that again one day effectively) but Roman was always more shades of Batista and Corporate-Rock. And TBH..it looks like the man’s about to cement his character, cement his career, and solidify his legacy.
Again, incredible stuff, and it has to be mentioned he put Jey over big time. From nearly not kicking out of the superkick, to having to resort to a low blow.
All around, absolutely incredible stuff. Incredible.
Edit: and cut out “The Big DOG” shit and get this man new theme music because the vestigial remains of them handicapping this man have to go.

Repost then!
That was some peak pro wrestling main event storytelling right there. They haven't hit it like that since Kofi's rise.
Ice Cold tribal chief Roman is that dude.

Like I been saying for years...story and character should be the emphasis of not just WWE but wrestling in general.
The wrestling will always be there but characters and great storytelling should be the priority and I am glad to see it took centre stage tonight.
