I'm kind of done trying to pick who's the best, all 3 guys have star potential. For what I want in wrestling, Ambrose is my guy. But Rollins is specatcular in the ring, and Reigns looks badass and is so explosive. They're a fantastic stable and I think they all push each other to be more.

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. He's the powerhouse of a group that's over, simple as that I would think. As much as smaller, faster guys have become more popular in recent years there are still fans who are drawn to whoever they perceive as the most powerful guy in the ring at a given time. Personal preference aside, I think Ambrose has more of the qualities you need to be successful in WWE. Neither Rollins nor Reigns is a bad talker but less is more with them and that's why Ambrose takes the lead and it's that way for a reason. This is where pro wrestling really is in a sense a competition and maybe even a sport, because you can look at who is doing the best with some objectivity. Ambrose is the group leader, title holder, etc. so objectively he's doing the best. |

A lot his moves look like he's outright murdering people, he has a great look, and he can hold his own on the mic and has solid delivery and a good voice even if he isn't tearing the house down. That's about all I ask for in a guy and I enjoy his presence the most as a result. |

Yeah, he's not there in all phases, but from the steady improvement he's shown, if he continues to grow he one day will be great. |

Ambrose is, by far, my favorite person in the group. You made a typo there. Reigns starts with an R. |

Ambrose is a star in the making, once he gets the chance to REALLY start talking. He and Reigns (who would be Ambrose's "Cowboy Bob") would turn on Rollins (who would go on to be a Jeff Hardy-like face), and once that feud was done, get a weekly talking segment, and get over as this generation's Roddy Piper.
Eventually, Ambrose would turn on Reigns, but I'd keep them together for a good year at lease, post SHIELD.

Ambrose just isn't as flashy as the other two but has the mic skills neither two has. Rollins is the best bumper but Ambrose will overtake him. Reigns is coming along well but he's going to end up as one of those guys who gets overpushed too fast when The Shield is done.

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 don't think anyone can tell you why any wrestler is the best, or even great. It's something you have to see for yourself. I've yet to read someone on a message board going from "I don't like this guy, can you tell me why I should?" and being convinced enough to say "wow, you are right, I do like this guy now." It doesn't happen, it's not a very fair question. One day you may come around to him, or not, and that's totally fine. But, just because you don't think highly of him doesn't make others incorrect for doing so. For example, I had a friend in high school who used to try to convince me that U2 was an awesome band. And I was a bit of a snob at the time and thought they were the lamest thing ever, mainly because they weren't Nirvana or Led Zeppelin. He tried to explain to me Bono's lyrics and The Edge's guitar style and the philosophy of their rhythm section, but I didn't budge, in fact it made me hate them more out of spite. Now, they're not my favorite band in the world, but I heard a few songs that really hit me and now totally respect them as a group. |

Ambrose is probably the most interesting based on his FCW work, even if he hasn't been able to show off his whole range yet in WWE. Reigns works as a hoss but hasn't really done anything that unique other than a decent spear, and Rollins is technically sound and a good seller, but I can't get over his misogyny, so it's hard to get that into anything he does. (And Rollins' voice is the aural equivalent of Heath Slater's face.)

All three are very entertaining and all seem quite special. Ambrose probably is my favorite since he's damn good on the mic but Reigns actually looks like a complete badass without even doing a thing so he is second for me and Rollins is decent in the ring but he just seeems like someone we have all seen before in a way. The other two are alot more unique.

I just don't see what everyone else seems to see. I'm with this. I don't dislike him by any means, but he's just a big strong guy who wrestles like every big strong guy ever, except greener. I see him and have no emotions at all. It's like, "Stop trying to intimidate me. Tell a story, dude." Someone mentioned in a thread a while ago, Ambrose is just a good actor. And he's the kind of guy that hordes of nerdy 12 year-old girls are going to write fanfiction about. He keeps getting chances, there's a million things the writers will be able to do with him. It's actually interesting, do people as a group think Reigns is better looking than Ambrose? That seems crazy to me. |

Rollins instantly loses credibility with me the second he opens his mouth. That man was not blessed vocally.

I was really excited about watching Ambrose ever since the Jon Moxley hype train started. I've been watching Rollins since he debuted in ROH. But somehow, some way Roman Reigns has emerged as my favorite of the three. He comes off as a total bad ass and I really could see him getting a main event run somewhere down the line.
Rollins has been fun to watch, but I don't see him in the main event scene once The Shield runs it's course. I'm a fan of his, and might get crap for saying this, but I just don't see that indefinable main event quality in him (I say the same thing about Ziggler though, so maybe I'm just overly critical). Like I said though, I'm a fan of his and always look forward to his matches.
As for Ambrose, like I said, I was really excited to finally see him after the IWC started singing his praises when he signed with the WWE. So far I've honestly been let down. He definitely has natural presence and charisma, but he's very overdramatic and I wish someone told him to take it down a notch. His facials and mannerisms are so over the top that he looks goofy and silly most of the time.

I fear the day when they break the group up, because it's going to happen. I think Rollins will get lost in the shuffle if they break the group off, unless he goes on to form a tag team.

I remember before they brought him on tv, I was really worried about how his mic skills would hold him back... however, I think in many of the instances where he has had to say a few words, he has come off pretty well. The weakest of the three in that department, and I think you're right about the not being vocally blessed... the tone of his voice is just hard to take seriously, no matter what he's saying or with how much conviction. |

Any topic about The Shield feels like people are downplaying Ambrose because they don't like his hype train and playing up Reigns because they want to vote for the underdog.

Roman Reigns is a lot better than either of the other two.
Ambrose tries too hard to be all crazy and shit, while Rollins is a girl trapped in mans body.
