The Shield was a perfect storm, three talented individuals coming together to create a truly awesome whole. It worked so well because Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were so different underneath the same umbrella, it took what was great about them individually and made them even greater as a group.

Seth Rollins was the superstar-in-waiting, the high-flying, high-energy aesthetic star of the group who was earmarked for success but needed to be kept in line somewhat in order to get there. Roman Reigns wasn’t a good guy, he wasn’t a bad guy, he was the ‘WWE Guy’, a preposterously handsome big dude who was as charismatic as anyone in the company as long as he didn’t open his mouth. Reigns was perfect as the silent enforcer. Dean Ambrose was the wildcard, the man who shouldn’t have made it but was too good to ignore, a truly erratic spark that needed the grounding of the other two to establish himself.

The Shield was set up to benefit all three for the bigger benefit of The Shield, and it accomplished this with bells on. Alone, the weaknesses of the three have been laid bare.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
