Originally posted by HeimsSo in the First Guy to Beat Roman Reigns pool, which one of you sharks had "Big Show, pinfall, chokeslam, under 3 minutes, some random Raw, hour 1"?
Pretty sure that should have "J&J Security", "Seth Rollins", and "Briefcase in the spine" added before that.
These posts reminded me of something that came to mind at the end of that match. What's the point of wearing a flak jacket if it can't protect you from a briefcase to the spine?? I mean, isn't that kind of thing what the flak jacket is supposed to make sure doesn't hurt you?
It does make you wonder what's in the case, aside from a piece of paper and sticky soda residue. Maybe it doubles as a gentle Taser. Maybe it's incredibly hot. Seth must be wearing those gloves for a reason.

I agree. The point isn't that Reigns looks like a scrub (although there is that too!). It's not even that the win would be wasted on Big Show. It's that they threw that card away altogether. They must have their reasons, but that's just begging for mockery.
I forgot about the Lesnar thing. Maybe they will point out the symmetry - I was wondering why end it with the chokeslam and not the dreaded KO punch. They could bill Show as The Next Big Thing Killer and have him and Orton, The Legend Killer, chase the tag titles. They'd be unbeatable, except against B+ players.
Reigns lost a couple of matches to Bray Wyatt during the Shield/Wyatts feud towards the start of the last year. He was pinned in the 6 man tag at Elimination Chamber, and also lost a one on one match with Wyatt later on Raw.
I know Reigns had been pinned in tag and handicap matches, but I don't recall him losing by pin/submission in any one-on-one matches since being called up to the main roster. I'd need to look up the particulars to remind myself if Wyatt beat him in a singles match.
Reigns had DQ loses to Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, and Kane, plus a countout loss to Rollins and No Contests with Batista & Orton (twice) but no pinfall losses until Monday. No singles pinfall loss since he lost the FCW title to Leo Kruger.
(The fact that we're unsure about this means they probably should've hyped this a bit more if they were working so hard to protect it.)
