Welp, Bret was merely decent until his anti-American turn and Sting's greatest stretch involves him not saying a word.

Shawn was a mercurial promo who could eviscerate someone one night and come across like an awkward cornball the next. Talking was definitely part of his overall formula, but he's got a lot of misses.

Punk, Jericho and Piper are far more accurate examples IMO.

>Roman is not great. He's just good.

Talking wasn't what made him great in the Shield, and he WAS/IS great as part of the Shield.
