Bray attacked Rollins, as 'The Fiend'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I don't the criticism of this angle. Â Everyone universally wants The Fiend to be portrayed as a big deal. Â Nothing punctures the aura of a monster more than their opponent not giving a shit about them. Â Rollins' horror at The Fiend is a major part of why he's looking so hot right now.

I don't read every single forum post but as far as I can tell, people are loving the angle/gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criticism's not of The Fiend, rather that top babyface Seth Rollins is shrieking and cowering in fear at the mere sight of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top babyface stood there and giggled in the face of The Fiend, it'd look like a shit gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Did Shawn Michaels scream like a toddler at Undertaker/Kane/Early Mankind? The idea is that they should freeze/be wary not absolutely shit themself. Especially after he just definitively went over Lesnar. It's rhubarb of the highest order.

King Pitcos Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I don't think any top babyface has ever done the screaming in fear reaction every time they see the baddie. It's a good thing for Bray, but it does Rollins no favours at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Finn' was a great response at SummerSlam. He looked concerned/intimidated but got in the ring and fought The Fiend - as a good babyface should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted September 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just read on Facebook that Rick Bognar (the fake Razor Ramon) passed away on September 20. He was 49. No age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 IWA-Mid South are now advertising themselves as LGBT+ inclusive which is awesome but really odd. How does that translates to cutting yourself open with barbed wire and light tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as already pointed out, Balor didn't at Summerslam. If Rollins is the only one, then he looks like a chump and no-one else does.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a year, when he's talking it big in the ring, no-one is gonna be saying "yeah but remember when you were scared?" I agree with Pitcos. It’s not just about this individual moment though, it’s about a collection of booking decisions they’ve made that have made him look like an absolute tool. He’s also made some eye-rolling comments in real life interview that make it hard to support him. You can sense it with the crowd too. The boo-boys are starting to tear their head and it’s only a matter of time before that grows significantly, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
