Sure I know we haven't seen the best of Ambrose, but as of now Rollins and Reigns are way better. They even had better matches with Bryan.

Ambrose crosses over into "you are trying too hard to be wacky" territory for me. It's a major turn off. Flops around like a dead fish when he oversells, looks like he's slobbering all over the place. Watching him and Ziggler is a perfect example of How to Sell like you got hit with the Infinity Gauntlet (Ziggler) vs selling like a sloppy HBK in a match against Hogan (Ambrose).
Reigns impresses me. He's going to do something great in the future. If he keeps clean and stays motivated, he could be something very big in the industry.
Unsold on Rollins, but he's got lots of potential and is an excellent wrestler. I could easily see him somewhere in the Kofi-Ziggler zone when he goes out on his own.
So I have to say I'm in agreement.

I agree. But a passive ok works too.

I used to think that way when they first started, but Dean Ambrose won me over, over time. They're all equal in my eyes. At most, I could say Reigns is slightly in front due to the mere presence he adds to the aura of The Shield.

Also Ziggler needs to watch out, Rollins is on his way of selling.

So I have to say I'm in agreement. To me, Ambrose doesn't oversell, he sells like a pro wrestler should. It's a dramatized athletic competition, it should be a little over the top and wacky. Also, I'm of the school that believes HBK wasn't overselling Hogan until that last big boot, he was just being a heel making an old man look like a million bucks. I love all three members of The Shield though, and see them as all future main eventers. Ambrose could be the Edge/Piper of this generation, Rollins could be the Jeff Hardy, and Reigns could be Batista.

Meh. Rollins remains the weakest of the three although he's come on leaps and bounds since he joined WWE. Ambrose remains my favourite. Reigns is somewhere in the middle. I like all three though.

Maybe I don't get Ambrose. He's kind of weird, and has far less impressive offense then his partners. He also doesn't sell as well as Seth. Why is he better?
I may sound like an ass but don't take it that way. I really want to know why he's always been "the best one"

Rollins does have a pretty impressive, throaty, Death Metal growl. I liked his "YEAAAH!" after he dove over the barricade at WrestleMania 29.
Reigns seems like he would have more of a Peter Steele-type voice.
Ambrose? I don't know. Jello Biafra, perhaps?

Ambrose is the one that's going to have to talk regularly to stay over.

I rank them Reigns > Ambrose > Rollins personally. I like the former two a lot, moreso Reigns, and Rollins... I barely notice him for the most part but if nothing else I'm starting to appreciate that he sells like mad.

Also Ziggler needs to watch out, Rollins is on his way of selling. The two of them in a match together is the selling equivalent of dividing by zero....or something. They're both spectacular at it. To the point you worry about their longevity.

Ambrose has that 'methodical' wrestling style that can come across as boring, but I honestly think all three have laudable strengths and I'm really impressed at WWE for keeping them together this long without a hint of dissension. They're better off together right now.

Reigns is going to be world champ in a year Year may be a little soon. He still has a lot of work to do when not in tag team matches or street fights, but he's got a lot of potential. Now I'm a huge Ambrose fan from his time in CZW so I can't say I agree, but I can understand why he's not everybody's cup of tea. Now I think it may be fair to say that the WWE seems higher on Reigns and Ambrose then they are on Rollins.

As far as in ring, I think it breaks down like this: 1. Rollins 2. Ambrsoe (different style, but still a great worker, IMO) 3. Reigns (still green as goose shit, but tremendous upside)
On the mic: 1. Ambrose (easily) 2. Reigns 3. Rollins
So, no, I don't agree that he's the worst.

I've not seen Ambrose have a really great match by himself yet, but I feel like he's more the voice of the group and the other two are the workers.
