Shield’s debut

By Scott Keith on March 14, 2014

Hi Scott,

I saw this on facebook and though it was interesting

http://www.sescoops.com/roman-reigns-interview-original-plans-shield-ring-psychology/

Roman Reigns spoke to Coaster Boy Josh this week to promote WrestleMania XXX.

The Shield's Debut & WWE's Original Plan For Them:

"Yeah, we debuted at Survivor Series — the coolest part of that is we were supposed to have like shields. It was really..for lack of a better word..it was really lame. We had like, literal riot shields..fiberglass riot shields with the word "Shield" written up it. We were like..'everyone will know who we are..geez'. We just pictured..trying to get into the ring with these things.

Like, for years now..you go into the ring a certain way, and you're not usually carrying a huge, plastic shield. So, we just had this terrifying nightmare of not being able to..like slide in and we're like stuck..we can't get in and we're looking up and there's Ryback standing over us, and we've completely blown the whole debut.

So, immediately, Vince was like 'What, are you guys wussies? You need that?' We're like 'No'. And he's like 'Good, leave them', and we just ran in there and we beat the dog piss out of Ryback and put him through the table."

I can totally see them doing those shields.
