People always rip on his limited move set and that was no more evident than last night's match.
I get that Brock also only does a few moves, but Suplex City is still over huge as is the F5. Roman's spear gets a decent response (although I would say Rhyno's Gore was arguably more over, as was Goldberg's spear) but the Superman Punch needs to go.

In defense of Roman, he was in the ring with a 300 lb sack of shit that couldn't land more than 5 moves at the Wrestlemania the year before in a hour long match. I don't know what he is suppose to do in that situation.
I thought it was great to let him just go out there and embrace the hate like Cena had done before. It's the same build they gave Jericho when he came back. Roman shouldn't say more than 5 words for every show until Bad Blood. Have him come out and kill someone at Payback & Extreme Rules. People would get behind a Roman who just beats people up.
Also his Superman Punch is more believable than a fireman's carry or the people's elbow. He should be using it like Stone Cold used the Stunner and just Superman Punch anyone who gets in his way (heel or face) every possible moment.
