They all have their strong points. I think Rollins is stronger in the ring and Roman Reigns overall has the best look. Ambrose exudes the most confidence and is the best on the mic.

Honestly, I just love Ambrose because he reminds me of Roddy Piper. Like, a lot.

I like all 3, but Reigns is probably my favorite. If he keeps steadily improving, he's the future.

Agreed. Ambrose always seems like he's trying too hard, which could work in the right gimmick, like a new evil Doink, but not as a corporate enforcer.

I've never seen what some others see in Ambrose. I think some people jumped on the bandwagon and refuse to compromise in admitting that he isn't the greatest thing of all time. He's not bad, but anytime he does anything, a few people react like it's groundbreaking. It's not. His line about Andre the Giant's ghost wasn't "amazing", his selling isn't "incredible"...anything like that. He's GOOD...but not this wrestling messiah that some people claim him to be. If anything, his large following that talk him up does a lot to turn me off as a fan, especially when he might purposely be working at a 7 or 8 and the hardcores will claim it's a 10. Sometimes, the love is a little too strong...
Reigns and Rollins on the other hand, they didn't get 1/4 of the hype around here, despite both stepping up to the plate. They also have their limits (as does the "God" Ambrose), but they both could still go very far. There's a reason why Rollins was chosen to main event more than the other two, most because he and Bryan have experience together and he's the best choice to make his opponent look good. That, in my eyes is the best compliment you can give a professional wrestler and the reason why I consider him to be the best, because in a competitive situation, he'll do everything to make the match look good. Reigns meanwhile has been made to look like a beast which is impressive given the limited time he's been wrestling. Overall, I think all 3 have bright futures. However, I think one of the big problems with how they're handled is the separation of Ambrose from Reigns and Rollins due to the titles. It creates a stigma that Ambrose is on his own, which he shouldn't be. I would have had them defend the US and Tag titles in Freebird mode if they decided to go that route, showing that there is unity and equality among their numbers.

Right now, the three of them still need each other, and mesh well together.
Having Ambrose focus on the the talking (even if he gets a little bit too goofy with his mannerisms) and the methodical demeanor allows Reigns to focus on being a beast, and Rollins on being the energy guy.
Even moreso, keeping Reigns in a tag team for now until he gets more experience allows him to get his work done in shortened powerful outbursts. Slowly have him work his way into longer situations, and get him familiar with transitions.
Reigns is going to be something huge as long as he doesn't hit a wall.

The thread title seems like flame bait lol. A more appropriate title would be rank the three Shield members.
Mine would be Reigns Ambrose Rollins

None of the Shield are bad by any stretch, but Ambrose easily impresses me the most. His expressions and selling are totally over the top and old school, he easily could have fit in with Rock 'n Wrestling. He's a big cartoon, which all good wrestlers should be.

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" I agree with this. Most people seem to be impressed with his promo skills but that's not a big thing for me. I know you have to communicate why you're fighting but beyond that I haven't cared what a wrestler had to say since Hogan

I saw another post that claims that a certain opinion is overwhelmingly held overall on this board, while the thread itself features plenty of opinions that differ than the supposed "hivemind."
This is getting to be such a trend that I'm going to start claiming it happens all the time, so much so that even when it's not happening, it'll still be happening.

The other problem with Ambrose is, I can picture Roman Reigns as a babyface down the line.
I can picture Seth Rollins being a good guy.
I cannot possibly imagine Dean Ambrose being anything other than an extremely punchable heel.
Seriously, Miz's face isn't half as punchable as Ambrose.

Ambrose is, by far, my favorite person in the group.

All three have tremendous upside. Triple Threat match for a shot at the wwe or world title would be awesome.
Also all three are great performers. I just think as far as presence, look, work. Reigns is going to be the first to get the world title.
I like them too much together to want them to go singles though. This was reign's graduation from tags to singles on raw. He was great. The suicide dive counter was great

They're all good, but for different reasons and different roles. The Shield works so well partially because of the three distinct styles of the performers. They all fill their roles phenomenally well, so I can't say this one guy is better than the other.

Like Ambrose, Rollins is OK, couldn't care less about Reigns (even though I realize he's going to be a big time player)

So what exactly do people see in Roman Reigns? I just don't get it. He's not bad or anything, but people talk like he's the Next Big Thing. He can't cut a great promo, in the ring he's nothing special, yeah he's a good looking guy but I wouldn't say he was that intimidating or anything like Brock or Batista.
I just don't see what everyone else seems to see.
