punches, kicks, spear, samoan drop, and powerbomb aren't enough?

Reminds me of the Jim Coronette the story of when WWF had him researching Kevin Nash's moves to coach the fake Diesel. After a couple of hours he realized "this guy seriously got over using a punch, an elbow, a boot and a Powerbomb."

It's the most basic reason for why I don't want him to succeed. The next step is them forcing him down our throats. But if he had a huge move set that makes you go "whoa...he's able to beat you 20 different ways (a la KO)" I'd be cool with it. Every match would be fresh and different. Instead, every match is identical. It's only a matter of time until he's grabbing the ropes and lunging back and forth and oohaahing.

How many more moves does Roman really need? I could see 1 or 2 more, but he doesn't need a vast array of moves.

It seems like most people who have been in WWE since the mid-90s that have a very limited move set also have only won top championship belts a limited amount of times. The Kane character, 19 years in WWE, has won 3 top level belts (one of which was the ECW belt). Big Show has 5 (1 ECW). Mark Henry has 2 (1 ECW). Khali has 1.

Roman has won as many heavyweight championships as Kane.

I just think some let their hatred cloud their judgement. He and KO was a very good match last night, and his work in the Rumble was good, also. His skill set hasn't changed from 3 years ago when was (maybe) the most over character on the entire roster.

The only reason I can think of WWE wanting Goldberg/Lesnar to be for the Universal title is to add star power to the title.

Yup. All of us are watching WM. They need to draw the outsiders, on the fence fans to the event and a headline of Goldberg-Lesnar for the gold is too good to pass up.

KO has such a large move set that he can have a good match with a paper bag

This is why we all want Aj vs Nakamura soon, because both are legitimately better than they were when they fought at Wrestle Kingdom, and that was one of the best matches ever.

He and Joe also have a history together, so that's another potential feud. Without a face turn, AJ has no one new to feud with on the SD roster currently unless I'm forgetting someone. That probably means the AJ/Shane at WM rumors are true, which sucks. Looking out past WM, I don't really know where they go with him.

We should see some roster shakeup between WM and SS. I would imagine AJ will go to RAW unless something changes.

If the plan for WM is to have Roman and Taker fight each other, then the only way I can see that match go over well is to finally turn Roman heel.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying.

Rumble is my annual return to wrestling (after losing track usually around May/June) and I really enjoyed last night...except for one part.

THAT *&#^!@$ SUPERMAN PUNCH. I realize the guy is never going to be a workrate master that puts on 5* classics. In his match with KO, I was thinking he has improved since I saw him last year...then he starts with the awful 'cocking his arm' business leading in to that ridiculous "punch".

It is cringe worthy.
