That face off was lame as fuck. Holy shit, how do the go home with THAT?

 

 

 

Heyman's promo sounded like he might turn on Brock. That wink was a little too much though, maybe a red herring?

 

Eh, at least I don't have a clue how it's gonna end so that's something.

Either Reigns is turning heel or he's the victim of the most egregious political hit in the history of wrestling

 

At this point no level of sincere incompetence is out of the question of WWE's booking.

 

I agree with tim here. But man, at the very least Reigns has to be a polarizing figure in "creative".

 

 

I do think that the Heyman promo could be a nice set up for a heel turn. But will it matter?

The only logical use of The Rock at Mania based on the way they're treating Reigns: Rock watches Brock beat Reigns nearly to death and then swears revenge to set up Brock/Rock.

 

That's if Lesnar has re-signed with WWE. If he hasn't, do you still shoot the angle hoping that he eventually does?

 

If Lesnar hasn't re-signed, turning Reigns heel and setting up Reigns vs. Rock for WrestleMania 32 is an obvious move.

That really makes me cringe. That's now going to be four out of five years that you use a part-timer in a main event role.

AJ unfollowed Punk on twitter and Punk was quoting John Cusack from High Fidelity about break ups Uh oh. If it means what it looks like it means you won't be able to wipe off the shit eating grin on WWE's face

 

 

edit: apparently bullshit. Disregard. Although Punk's tweets are kinda weird <_>

I just watched the Lesnar/Reigns segment. That reeked of Vince. I think Lesnar should have just destroyed Reigns the very second he had the title grabbed away from him. Instead he looks at him like a goof and then they both look equally ridiculous in that childish tug of war.

 

As for Lesnars signing, they (being WWE) are fucked either way. If he signs and beats Reigns, then Roman is dead as a main eventer. If Brock loses to Reigns, he doesn't stick around for rematches, as Roman can't afford to lose and Brock is no longer special if he loses again. If Rollins cashes in on Roman, and Roman chases Seth (as would make sense) then where does that leave Lesnar?

 

Brock won't be 'wasted' on matches with Ambose, or Ziggler, or Sheamus if he has limited dates. Any potential match with Daniel Bryan is not going to be as hot as it would have been right now, as WWE have successfully neutered Bryan into an IC level guy hanging with R-Truth and Stardust. So there aren't any viable 'super fight' matches available to him either, because booking. Maybe The Rock, maybe Batista, Orton at a push, maybe Rusev if he went face, but I'm fully expecting Rusev to be beaten by Cena at mania or Reigns before that match could potentially happen. And Brock vs Rock, Batista or orton isn't very exciting in 2015.

 

If he doesn't sign, then they have sacrificed the undertakers streak and the wwe title not being visible on their shows without making any significant progress, and again will most likely give vince the idea that nobody should be presented as a star as it gives them leverage.

 

I mentioned this on another forum I post at, but Lesnar is as much a victim of stop/start booking as anyone else on the roster. He's only kept his aura as he is barely around to prevent him from being presented as ordinary, and he has an excellent hype man in Heyman. With everyone else on the roster being made to look rather ordinary, nobody is credible enough anymore.

 

The only real incentive they have for signing him is to keep him away from a UFC or a bellator. And I'm sure Lesnar knows that.

I keep hearing that talking point, but doesn't how he's booked at Mania significantly play into his future value for the company? It might be in his interest to sign before in that case.

 

Not really, it's the same as a free agent in sports being able to bid his services to whatever team is willing to pay the most. He knows Bellator would easily overpay him to land a big name, UFC would also want him back, so it would be silly business wise for Brock to re sign with WWE before other MMA groups could legally make an offer.

 

Of course this is all moot if:

 

1. Brock really doesn't want to go back to fighting and is just using MMA for leverage.

2. WWE makes a ridiculous offer he can't refuse just so Vince doesn't have to risk the ego bruise of two ex WWE champions leaving for MMA.

 

 

In other fun news, apparently AJ and Nikki are going off script at each other frequently. Nikki did a promo on the Smackdown tapings tonight saying AJ's been around less than Brock Lesnar which you'd have to think would never be a WWE approved promo line. I get the impression the company views AJ as a giant mark after the whole tattoo thing, but she's just as untouchable as Nikki for obvious reasons so this could get fun.
