WWE Believe in the Shield

[Nexus]

"Well JBL, after that exciting start to tonight's Raw, let's get started with today's action."

"Damn right."

"Our first match is the former United States Champion, Antonio Cesaro, taking on the leader of the One Man Band, Heath Slater. It should be a good match. Cesaro's been showing off his brute strength ever since he joined the WWE, including using the Equaliser on The Great Khali!"

"Antonio Cesaro is one of the most powerful athletes in the WWE at the moment, Cole. Lest we forget, he worked his way up from the Indys, and he's had many years to hone his skills."

"And what about Heath Slater? He came to the WWE as part of the first season of NXT, where he did...alright, and then he, along with the seven other NXT rookies, invaded Raw as part of the Nexus."

"I'll never forget that first night the Nexus invaded, Cole. I was sat at home, watching in disbelief as these eight rookies absolutely decimated not only one of the strongest members of the WWE, in John Cena, but also trashed the arena, and everything else. They were immense."

"Sure, they were. Then they broke up, and Heath Slater, a former Tag Champ, drifted for a while. Now though, he's found his calling as part of 3MB, with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre. They aren't all that good, but they are entertaining."

"Sure are. And as much as we slag Heath off, he's another good athlete. Time for the match."

"The bell rings as these two athletes in the squared circle face off. Heath Slater gets some early momentum, kicking and punching Antonio Cesaro, but the Swiss man isn't having any of it. He knocks Slater down with a brutal clothesline, smiling as he does it. He lifts Slater back up, SUPLEX."

"That was beautiful Michael, a text book suplex."

"Slater's back on his feet, and Cesaro doesn't waste any time. He lifts his opponent up, dropping him with a European Uppercut. Then, the EQUALISER. Oh my God, is it over? 1...2...3"

"That was short and sweet."

"Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, and here we are back on Monday Night Raw, with Paul Heyman stood in the ring."

"Shut up and listen to him. He's one of the greatest managers in the history of this business, and he is going to speak."

The figure in the ring stands with a smile on his face.

"For all these weeks, you've been blaming me for the Shield. For all these weeks, I've had the abuse, the accusations, and the dirty looks from the locker room. Yes, it's true, I hired them once. That was it. Now they work by themselves. I've got better things to do than look after a bunch of goons."

A smirk creeps across Paul Heyman's slimy face, as he continues:

"Yeah, I said it, goons. They're nothing but goons. Their only strength is the fact that they are a cohesive unit. Without that cohesion, they're nothing."

The lights drop again.

"Not sure that the Shield appreciated being called a bunch of goons, Michael. Definitely not by Paul Heyman of all people."

The lights turn up again. The Shield are in the ring, surrounding Paul Heyman. He looks like he has crapped his pants, and looks pleadingly at the entrance ramp. No-one comes to save him, as he is knocked down by a boot to the head by Seth Rollins. Roman Reigns makes his traditional growl as Rollins and Ambrose lift Heyman onto his shoulders.

"No way..."

TRIPLE POWERBOMB. The Shield drops Paul Heyman and melt back into the crowd.

"OH MY GOD. THE SHIELD HAVE DESTROYED PAUL HEYMAN, AND NOBODY CAME TO HELP HIM. NOBODY."

EMTs come out and wheel Heyman away.

GoodCopBadCop - Paul Heyman - Heyman Aligned Rolecop - Triple Powerbombed Day 1

Day 1 continues. With 20 alive, it takes 11 to lynch. The votecount has been reset. Deadline is at 3pm GMT on Saturday 19th May 2013

I'm STILL searching for a replacement.

[Mutleyddmc]

I'm confused

[ferretlover]

So a 1-Shot Day-Vig I'm assuming? Dammit RoleCop gone. That sux man.

[Svenskt Stål]

I suppose dayvig? And text means scum dayvig?

TRIPLE POWERBOMB. The Shield drops Paul Heyman and melt back into the crowd.

Mutley, well, scum team can only be 3 players... shield or whatever. sooo there has to be neutrals.

[Svenskt Stål]

So a 1-Shot Day-Vig I'm assuming? Dammit RoleCop gone. That sux man.

What the fuck.

You do realize that he isnt town right?

[Svenskt Stål]

This heyman fella, is this someone who could have like a 3 man team or something? Would that fit within the wrastlin lore?

Or do we have free roamers

[Svenskt Stål]

But why ever kill gcbc?

[ferretlover]

I couldn't tell which alignment. Was he a wolf?

[Svenskt Stål]

wtf are you talking about.

[Svenskt Stål]

GoodCopBadCop - Paul Heyman - Heyman Aligned Rolecop - Triple Powerbombed Day 1

The "heymans" have got to be a neutral group. Whats the point of having a free roaming rolecop?

So we have heymans, shields and then town. 3+3+15? Seems right?

[ferretlover]

So Town is Town, Heymans are Indies, and Shields are Wolves? I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

[Fuzzyman]

Heyman would probably be a scumteam with CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. So this would likely be a cross-kill.

CGBC's wagon consisted of Goat, Krab, RatedR, Svensk, and Jebus. RatedR, Krab's replacement Mutley, and Goat are giving me town reads. I see Jebus as a bit scummier now than before.

Vote: Jebus

[Fuzzyman]

Svenskt, why do you think it's more likely the Heymans are neutral than scum?

[Svenskt Stål]

Paul Heyman[1] (born September 11, 1965) is an American entertainment producer, performer and marketing guru

currently signed to WWE, where he is the onscreen "best friend, confidante and strategist" for CM Punk and advocate for Brock Lesnar. He is also the co-founder of an advertising marketing and branding firm called The Looking4Larry Agency in New York City, well known for its social media marketing and viral video production and distribution. Heyman is best known for his career in professional wrestling as a promoter, manager, commentator, and journalist.

Heyman was the creative force behind the revolutionary promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling in the 1990s. He has also worked in Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling, the American Wrestling Association and World Wrestling Entertainment, including WWE's ECW brand where he was recognized as the ECW Representative in front of the camera, and was the general manager and brand manager behind the scenes.

The dude doesnt even fight.

So neutrals are a team of executives, no wonder they will get got.

[Svenskt Stål]

So Town is Town, Heymans are Indies, and Shields are Wolves? I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

That would be my guess.

[Svenskt Stål]

Svenskt, why do you think it's more likely the Heymans are neutral than scum?

This is very scummy. We have allready established that the shield are scum.

[Fuzzyman]

You must not know the flavor that well.

Paul Heyman is a manager (agent, advocate, whatever) for CM Punk and Brock Lesnar, both of whom are portrayed as bad guys.

This is an example of who Heyman and Lesnar are.

This has got to be multiball.

[Svenskt Stål]

So this was a scum controlled kill, I can not see anything pointing in another direction.

So why kill gcbc?

I have got nothing. Unless its a antispew, "lets mess with their heads" kill.

Well I knew this was multi ball before the kill, you cant have a scum team of 3 against 18 townies.

I know pretty much nothing about wrestling, true.

[Fuzzyman]

When I think of "multiball", I think of two scum groups, not a scum group and a neutral group. (And how often do you see neutral

groups

anyways? You really stuck onto that idea quick.)

Deadline is in 7 days.

[Mutleyddmc]

Hate posts like this. Scream scum to me.

[ferretlover]

Why? I was guessing about what happened.

[Fuzzyman]

Mourning kills is a scumtell.

[ferretlover]

It is? Why would that be?
