"If Andre the Giant's ghost isn't in this battle royal...

[Kevin Hamilton]

A spectral voice from somewhere calls out :"anybody wanna peanut?"

Whole promo was great, felt very old-school in delivery and appearance, and all 3 did good jobs making themselves and their respective championship endeavors sound important.

I still say that, even though booking will have a hard time doing it with all 3 guys at the same time, all 3 SHOULD be stars and major players for years to come. They have it all; in-ring ability, promo ability, a good gimmick, and even though they show unity as a team, they are all distinguishable from one-another (they aren't 3 Developmental clones just thrown together, or at least don't appear to be).

Even though they have some sports-entertainment traits, they are wrestlers and showing regard for championships and wrestling history while still being modern and unique has made for a pretty nice start to their mainstream careers so far.

I was hoping Big Show entered the battle royal wearing a sheet with two eye holes and an Andre attire over that

I AM THE GHOST OF DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS!!!

[cabbageboy]

Yeah I thought that the line was a direct set up for the Big Show return. He could feud with Andre's fake son instead of his ghost.

Absolutely. I can see Seth Rollins being a huge beloved face, Ambrose being the loathed heel and Reigns being the absolute bulldozer of their generation.

Not to derail the thread, but I think Reigns has improved dramatically in terms of promos since last fall as well. Monday was probably the best he's ever sounded.

Yeah - that line was a slice of deep-fried gold.

I always heard a ton of hype about Ambrose (as Moxely) but never looked him up. Now that he's actually showing more personality in the ring and in his promos - I totally get it.

[The Man They Call Asher]

I can't find this promo anywhere. It's not even on WWE.com. Could someone post a link by any chance?

I'm pretty sure this confirms that Ambrose knows about the Bipolar Shield.

Thanks.

[percymania]

lol I actually thought he said Andre the Giant Dos.

[mrbananagrabber]

Loved the whole thing, especially the fact it seemed to be filmed in the Prodigy "Fireststarter" video.

If The Shield ambushes Road Warrior Animal backstage then we'll be on to something.
