thats the opposite of what im saying. Seth Rollins rep is too big as someone who CAN put in the work, for this to be satisfying.

>This was what most Brock matches are.

yeah but hes the most credible shooter of all time. its fine for him to *win* that way.

for him to take bumps, give a nutshot, and then 3 stomps? it feels like a waste.

i dont see the correlation btwn any of that, and them not being able to have a good match.

Im saying, i already know that about seth. My problem isnt with him, its what they were produced to do. I fully realize nobody called that on the fly a la Harley Race or some shit.

i agree 100%. that doesnt mean they couldnt make better use of the time they did have.

Again, I know. All im saying is that Rollins rep makes this mess all the more confusing. Im NOT saying Rollins is incapable of more than a nutshot. Im saying that telling him to do that is asinine.
