"And now that I've signed the contract, I'm going home to drink a Coors Light, because Bud Light won't pay me nuthin'. Then I might even get on top of my wife tonight!"
After a fight, I like to relax with a dry, cool Duff beer, because nothing refreshes quite like the smoothest pilsner Germany has to offer. Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff."
In what world is there any suspense over the result if we aren't sure if Brock is leaving?
If there was even the remotest chance he wasn't going to resign, we'd be getting WWE Champion Roman Reigns on Sunday, with no doubt whatsoever. At least now there's suspense, since we know Brock is staying. Thus, Reigns doesn't have to win.
So are we not getting an evening thread tonight? I need people to keep me abreast of the degrees to which The Flash was great tonight, since I won't get to see it until later.
I think this is actually pretty smart on their part. They have to know that Reigns is going to get booed out of the building and were probably afraid of the crowd shitting on the match entirely similar to 20 when everybody knew Brock was leaving. I think Brock would be a monster face regardless but this makes it all the more likely...
I cancelled my network after the Rumble and I wasn't going to re-subscribe because I wasn't really excited about the card, but now I'm going to order anyway and I'm going to be super annoyed when Reigns wins in the most anti-climactic fashion possible.
I'm now the living embodiment of my screen name. . .it feels good.
I truly don't like to be the negative guy, but..... what else is there to do with Brock at this point? So he puts over Reigns then moves on to what? He hasn't faced Orton in a meaningful way, so I guess there's that. Maybe a Rollins match? WWE doesn't seem interested in putting Bryan in important matches, so I'm not sure that happens. The Cena match is done to death. Unless Batista is coming back at some point, I'm not sure there is a fresh match up worth paying all that money for.
You keep having him steamroll guys until there's one guy the fans REALLY want to see on top. And then you pull the trigger with him and make the new Cena.
The thing that worries me is that Brock is going to hold the title until next year just to drop it to Rock at 32. Sure, that match is probably the biggest money match they could do, since they NEED to sell out that stadium, but the end result of that match is a total no-win situation, unless they pull a WM X and have Brock/Rock early and another title match later in the show (maybe have Mr. Money in the Bank announce he's cashing in against the winner in the main event).
I think they are re-signing him solely as a failsafe in case the Reigns experiment truly goes off the rails. Having Lesnar on the roster allows them to have Heyman come back and admit that Brock took Reigns lightly and won't make the same mistake twice. If Roman is tanking, just have Brock rag-doll him like he did Cena (SummerSlam 2015 maybe, if Reigns lasts that long?) and reclaim the title to reset things.
Hoping they got at least a couple more matches in Brock's contract this time. I'm glad it's a multi-year deal. Lesnar is probably popping champagne, skinning a deer, and pounding Sable from behind.
Oh dear. That sounds horrible. The part-timer thing needs to go the fuck away. Seriously. HHH, Sting, Taker are diminishing returns at best. Rock's big "return" matches have been exhausted already. If Austin was gonna come back, he would have by now. Austin vs. Cena is about all they have in the way of Dream Match to sell that stadium.
I don't think Rock is ever wrestling again after what happened at 29. Him tearing his muscles and setting back filming for Hercules really put a damper on that I think.
#1 - Absolutely no way Lesnar loses at Mania now. WWE has to protect its investment in Lesnar. Maybe He beats Reigns and loses via cash-in to Rollins, then comes back as a face to get the belt back around SummerSlam, but he isn't losing to Reigns.
#2 - This means more Paul Heyman. I was not convinced he would stick around with both Punk and Lesnar gone
I am tempted to say Brock is retaining and this will be the year of Roman's Redemption, culminating in him beating Lesnar next year. But I can't imagine them headlining in that Dallas stadium with a re-match of something that failed to set the world on fire this time around. Unless they are SURE they can get Austin for a Cena match or something. Sting vs. Taker isn't doing it. HHH vs. anyone isn't doing it. HBK returning won't do shit. Rock vs. anyone at this point is diminishing returns.
This week's originals offering is.....a HHH/Arnold interview, meh
I like in that Variety article they basically admitted they're going away entirely from documentaries to more clip shows and "As Seen On Youtube" because 30% of the users watch on their phones in small increments. I guess the other 70% of can eat dicks.
I really dig the idea of Lesnar just straight up retaining at Wrestlemania. No cash-in, no shenanigans. Just Reigns not being enough man (yet) to overcome such an unstoppable force. First he does what no one expected and breaks the Streak. Then he destroys Cena repeatedly. Then he retains against the golden boy that everyone was sure was going over. Just continue this run until it seems inconceivable that Brock can lose to anyone. Then pull the trigger on the REAL next big thing. Caveat: Actually MAKE a next big thing
Vince and company are pretty insecure about new stars carrying a show, especially a show on the scale of Wrestlemania 32 in that huge Dallas stadium. I have to assume that means Part-timerMania is gonna run wild. Even if they pull out all the stops with Austin vs. Cena, Rock vs. Lesnar, Taker vs. Sting, HHH vs. someone, etc. ... can they actually fill that place?
Exactly. No wrestling match is worth that risk at this point. The Rock is what Hulk Hogan wanted to be--truly a bigger star than pro wrestling. He already got to come back and work two Manias with the biggest star on the roster...and he easily outshines Cena. A Lesnar match isn't doing anything for Rock, regardless of the payday. Just keep making movies, staying healthy, and taking care of his family. He can always come back and do nostalgia promos to keep his link to wrestling.
So I had a notification on my phone from WWE network about the Brock thing. Why don't they do that more often? Like, oh I don't know, hype Raw matches ahead of time by sending on notifications to Network members? I know its crazy to think hyping matches on Raw might get people to turn in but......
I'd say he's a bigger deal than Sting at least to the younger audience that watched him after WCW folded. You could plug Angle vs a lot of the young guys and get a great match even.
That's what a shit job they've done building new stars lately. The smarks would rather see Randy Orton in his 46467th title match than whatever geeks on the midcard currently.
It's beautiful, one video a week chronicling exactly that week in WW1, and the videos are only like 8-12 minutes long, you could easily keep up on your lunch break or something (once you see the first 50 or so episodes you're behind on haha)
Yeah seriously. Granted, I'm totally biased against orton seeing how he's totally boring and been doing the same exact thing for 12 years, but at least they're trying with someone new, so points for effort.
It's now 1987 on Stranger's Dailymotion channel. You know what that means?
1987 NWA!
The first offering is from the January 3 edition of World Wide. Ricky Morton takes on one half of the World Tag Team champs, Manny Fernandez; then Barry Windham faces Shaska Whatley; Jimmy Valiant takes on Bill Dundee; and the main event is an eight man tag team match: Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff & The Road Warriors vs. The Four Horsemen - Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and Ole & Arn Anderson.
This video will be available later in the hour, as it is currently encoding. Up next, some NWA Pro.
No, it's huge and can fit over 100K with standing room. If the big show comes though, he'd take up a lot of room and I'd estimate only 20K people will fit. But those 20K will get to appreciate how large he is in person
He threw a picture up on Twitter of his last moments with the dog before they had to put him down and of course reddit decided he was being an attention whore, lol
I'll go to the mat as the biggest Orton hater around and even I think they need to do that match. Sell it as someone needing to be more evil than Lesnar to beat the Beast...all kinda money.
I'm ok with the match just saying in 2012 people probably would've shit on it. Now it's like "Well fuck may as well be him it's better than the rest of these losers."
Played for Metallica too. Forget that auditioned bs, he was there for a couple of weeks when they transitioned from Cliff to Jason. They played a For Whom the Bell Tolls/Real American medley.
Brock holds the belt for a year and Austin comes out of retirement to challenge for it next year in Dallas. Does it sellout the 100,000 seat arena? I say for sure.
Bash at the beach 1995. I don't know if posting the link will get me heat, but it's on WW. It's the height of Early HOgan WCW so lots of former WWF stars, and it's from the beach.
Either Brock retains and we still have no out of this whole nightmare, or Steve wins and...what relinquishes the next night? After a two year title run the guy that breaks it just gives it away?
Don't get me wrong the spectacle of it would rule but it's like the only scenario that leaves them in a worse situation than the one their in right this second.
That's my dream scenario too, but it all depends on how they play the cash-in. Rollins has to cash in at some point, which is hard to do with a champion who disappears for 90 days at a time
So Lesner retains at Mania now? They really should just do the SHIELD reuniting as a three man super force with Rollins as the Champ. Have Dean win the IC Title at Mania. Have Reigns beat Cena or Rusev for the U.S. Title. Maybe put the tag titles on them (Freebird rule). Treat all three and the titles they hold like huge deals. Brock (now a face) has to now deal with this three man superpower.
How much blame do you guys place on Reigns for not being over? Creative has given him nothing to work with and nothing for the fans to be invested in. Then again, it doesn't seem like he's stepped up and fielded any ideas himself.
None. They've done nothing for him to make him seem like a big deal, they booked him in the Rumble to look weak, they forced the actual fan favorite to lap his balls only fostering more hate, they've given him by far the worst promo material in the history of the industry, and they've had him lose clean to Big Show only weeks before what is supposed to be his coming out party.
The guy is, like everyone in that company, just there to get a check. I don't blame him a bit for following dumb orders if it means the check gets bigger.
It's funny if you watch the 1993 RAW season because their last show in the Manhattan Center is REALLY smarky. It's like the smart fans started invading en masse as they have a Mr. Perfect match where he is loudly booed even though he's supposed to be a face.
At this rate, I wouldn't mind Brock breaking Sammartino's record.
ReplyDelete"And now that I've signed the contract, I'm going home to drink a Coors Light, because Bud Light won't pay me nuthin'. Then I might even get on top of my wife tonight!"
ReplyDeleteAfter a fight, I like to relax with a dry, cool Duff beer, because nothing refreshes quite like the smoothest pilsner Germany has to offer. Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff."
ReplyDeleteBrock absolutely needs to go over at Mania.
ReplyDeleteSo Brock loses and comes back for the title at SummerSlam.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Brock teased leaving and people, for some reason, were like "I think this is to raise doubt about the main event outcome?"
ReplyDeleteNo. Announcing Brock's staying before WM? THAT is being done to raise doubt about the main event outcome.
I would totally be into that if he wrestled once every 3 months.
ReplyDeleteSo... I watched that last segment. What a horrible ending. Seriously, if THAT is the last image we get of Brock Lesnar as WWE Champion. Holy shit.
ReplyDeleteStupid. Stupid. Stupid.
ReplyDeleteThey should have left it ambiguous so that there was more drama surrounding the match.. like in the Punk/Cena MITB match... but instead...
Or, if you're Brock, Frank Murr.
ReplyDeleteSo Vince is going to Chuck another small fortune at Brock when all he had to do, to keep people happy, was push Bryan or Ambrose.
ReplyDeleteIn what world is there any suspense over the result if we aren't sure if Brock is leaving?
ReplyDeleteIf there was even the remotest chance he wasn't going to resign, we'd be getting WWE Champion Roman Reigns on Sunday, with no doubt whatsoever. At least now there's suspense, since we know Brock is staying. Thus, Reigns doesn't have to win.
actually I think the opposite. Now we know, who knows what will happen next?
ReplyDeleteThe multi-year deal this is key.
ReplyDeleteSo are we not getting an evening thread tonight? I need people to keep me abreast of the degrees to which The Flash was great tonight, since I won't get to see it until later.
ReplyDeleteI think this is actually pretty smart on their part. They have to know that Reigns is going to get booed out of the building and were probably afraid of the crowd shitting on the match entirely similar to 20 when everybody knew Brock was leaving.

ReplyDeleteCan we presume Brock will be the face at Wrestlemania now?

ReplyDeleteI say keep it on Brock for another year hopefully by then they'll have it figured out. Hell Finn Balor should be the next guy IMO.
ReplyDeleteHehe. You said "a breast"

ReplyDeleteOf course AND he's probably grown his beard out in full since last night.
ReplyDeleteBrock is the smartest man in wrestling, millions of dollars just for showing up 10 times a year in his job.

ReplyDeleteAlso, "I want to spread the Fuck last name"
ReplyDeleteSpread the fuck!
Perhaps not but it's the most likely dream match they could put together unless they get Kurt Angle or something.
ReplyDeleteOh absolutely. They're gonna have to start papering that place WAY in advance
ReplyDeleteWatching The Great War channel on YT until someone picks a show, bored as shit with no plans to move off this couch at all tonight
ReplyDeleteIs Angle even a big name though at this point? I would love to see him though
ReplyDeleteScarface on tv, SOLD!
ReplyDeleteYou're not gonna beat The Great War, dude.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan is and can be a crossover star for the company. Push him to the fucking moon again against Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteDude this channel in unbelievable! I'm going to cry when I catch up
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell is the Orton vs Brock match. Orton is legit over as a face, plus the match has never happened.
ReplyDeleteOrton: I'm going to turn back psycho to beat you. Punt, punt, spit, DDT Heyman

ReplyDeleteYou callin' all rapist sheep black?
ReplyDeleteWish he would have raped Scrappy and threw him down a well.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was going to wait until after Wrestlemania to resign. Is there an interim champ now? Who is Roman Reigns gonna face?

Bingo.
ReplyDeleteinappropriate yet still clever use of meme nerd
ReplyDeleteWE'RE OUTTA TIME! WE GOTTA GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteThat movie didn't need a part 1.
ReplyDeleteSo Brock resigned with the company, sweet. Still, I bet WWE will pull a swerve and Roman will continue to win his match as planned.
ReplyDeleteBetting sites had Brock as a big underdog earlier today. Now he's the favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm smarter than the average nerd.
ReplyDeleteI like whoever's suggestion from the daily thread that Raw should pick up where it ended the last week
ReplyDeleteI think the only way lesner loses the title is if heyman turns on him which is highly unlikely to happen .
ReplyDeleteFuck you, because we want!
ReplyDelete- WWE.
mike sanders nerd
ReplyDeleteThat horse kick is absurd.
ReplyDeleteHe's losing the title, The Roman Empire begins monday.
ReplyDeleteThey're in SFO. Think HHH will have Metallica play him to the ring?
ReplyDeleteGreat news!
ReplyDeleteI'll go to the mat as the biggest Orton hater around and even I think they need to do that match. Sell it as someone needing to be more evil than Lesnar to beat the Beast...all kinda money.
ReplyDeletePretty cool that it has gone to pretty much a toss-up.
ReplyDelete"Planned"?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I follow
At least there's doubt in the Lesnar/Reigns outcome.
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOrton/Rollins is basically even odds too.
ReplyDeleteJourney, playing Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'
ReplyDeleteAny details of the contract? Do we get Brock at Extreme Rules?
ReplyDeleteThis Mania may actually turn out pretty decent.

ReplyDeleteI have a suggestion for a show to watch if anyone's interested, I'm going to be watching it in 2 parts on watchwrestling though.
ReplyDeleteBrock gets free coors light on every time he goes to work.

ReplyDeleteStellar. Chicago signs a defensive end implicated in a domestic disturbance and a sexual assault. Seems like a guy you can put your trust in.
ReplyDeleteThat's my dream scenario too, but it all depends on how they play the cash-in. Rollins has to cash in at some point, which is hard to do with a champion who disappears for 90 days at a time
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see Austin/Punk.
ReplyDeleteLesnar retains then someone can cash in right after?
ReplyDeleteEarth-27
ReplyDeleteYup, those are the ones he saved from the dumpster.
ReplyDeleteAustin wouldn't bother with that. For his health I hope he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteAustin's first match in 13 years (and probably last match ever) is just a set up for a MitB storyline? No way. Steve would shit on that instantly.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he tried to sell them to WWE. He could have made some money.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Hardy to the Cowboys.
ReplyDeleteThen, we could watch them on the Network. In about 10 years.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Hardy to the Cowboys.
ReplyDeleteIf this comment shows up under your name Shelton as Guest. My phone is retarded and I tried deleting it.
So Lesner retains at Mania now? They really should just do the SHIELD reuniting as a three man super force with Rollins as the Champ. Have Dean win the IC Title at Mania. Have Reigns beat Cena or Rusev for the U.S. Title. Maybe put the tag titles on them (Freebird rule). Treat all three and the titles they hold like huge deals. Brock (now a face) has to now deal with this three man superpower.
ReplyDeleteHe was a solid C+.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan will have a great match on the pre show.
ReplyDeleteThat's gonna be quite the team when Peterson shows up. Maybe they can all go to answer management together.
ReplyDeleteSo Brock used the threat of going back to the UFC as leverage in his WWE contract negotiations? Inconceivable!
ReplyDeleteHow much blame do you guys place on Reigns for not being over? Creative has given him nothing to work with and nothing for the fans to be invested in. Then again, it doesn't seem like he's stepped up and fielded any ideas himself.
ReplyDeleteAnger management may be useful as well.
ReplyDeleteCena/Taker
ReplyDeleteAustin/Punk
Hollywood Rock/Sting would be 3 matches off the top of my head.
Or, Sting/Taker works as well, I guess.
The new Brock contract is a multi year one. Huh. I'm suprised.
ReplyDeleteUgh. To be clear and fair to to Jon, I edited that at the same time as he made the comment. I was a tad bit slow.
ReplyDeleteWatching the first episode of Raw on the network. Good debut. Nothing on the debut of Nitro though.
ReplyDeleteBrock/Rock
ReplyDeleteCena/Austin
Taker/Sting
Hhh/Rollins
Bryan/doesn't matter on pre show
Book it
I'm not surprised at Jerry Jones signing Hardy. At all.
ReplyDeleteNone. They've done nothing for him to make him seem like a big deal, they booked him in the Rumble to look weak, they forced the actual fan favorite to lap his balls only fostering more hate, they've given him by far the worst promo material in the history of the industry, and they've had him lose clean to Big Show only weeks before what is supposed to be his coming out party.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is, like everyone in that company, just there to get a check. I don't blame him a bit for following dumb orders if it means the check gets bigger.
So, do they now make sure Brock surpasses CM Punks 400+ day reign?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny if you watch the 1993 RAW season because their last show in the Manhattan Center is REALLY smarky. It's like the smart fans started invading en masse as they have a Mr. Perfect match where he is loudly booed even though he's supposed to be a face.
ReplyDelete"Something was said. Not good".
