I had to laugh…

So RAW had Poochie come out; "he’s not a bad guy, he’s not a good guy… he’s a guy who stands and talks holding the belt for a few minutes". That old chestnut… and then the returning Seth Rollins does this faux-confront schitck that involved limiting all his natural charisma that the crowd want to cheer, by having him not speak, not interact or confront Poochie. This was followed up with some keystone cops routine that is a mirror-universe of what happens an hour later when AJ is allowed to do it better against Cena. The segment was pronounced dead shortly after.

My questions are; Why are they so desperate to protect Poochie by now totally limiting the poor suckers that get put into a program with him… are we just not going to have his more-talented-on-the-mic opponents talk to him now, because that will further expose him as the ultimate bore he is? They’re obviously well aware Poochie can’t talk, can’t wrestle, can’t draw any kind of reaction other than "Go Away" regardless of who they put him with, so now poor Rollins has to slum it in a program where he’ll be getting told by Vince and Hach to "make sure Reigns looks strong" each Monday while some failed soap opera guy writes prose for Poochie and Rollins does the fake-out until Money in the Bank?

…better not let the fans cheer who they like, hey? That never worked out for anyone before in the history of wrestling.

​Once again, I would like to state for the record that Reigns can wrestle and talk just fine, but the character is the wrong one and he’s overpushed in that role. No one is saying that Roman is a bad wrestler, and it’s really kind of silly at this point to say so. ​
