WWE TV 4th - 11th December 2017

[Coffey]

 

I'm definitely not criticizing the WWE because they made the right call, but one has to wonder how this would've played out had it been John Cena or Seth Rollins or a member of New Day, etc. Swann was expendable before the arrest.

 

I couldn't figure out the timeline of Austin's domestic dispute and his quitting/firing from WWE in June 2002 - Did he quit before the incident? After? - but I'd imagine that if the Debra incident had happened when Austin was still happy with the company, the WWE would've kept him under contract despite the negative publicity. 2002 was a different time than 2017 and Steve Austin was obviously a much bigger star than Swann, but then again, without WCW around, its not like Austin was going to go be the star of some rival promotion, so, who knows, maybe they would've cut him lose.

 

He quit before, yes. In fact, the Debra incident happened the same night the Confidential hit piece on Austin aired.

 

Speaking of, I really liked Confidential. They had their own version of MTV Cribs/Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. I remember goofy Al Snow's collection of hockey jerseys!

I'm stunned that no "Can he handle jail?" jokes haven't been made yet.

WWE just announced that the winner of Braun/Kane tonight will face Brock at Royal Rumble

[NintendoLogic]

Has Brock ever wrestled Kane before?

[Matt D]

I'm all for Brock vs Kane. In a world without a Suplex City...

[Zoo Enthusiast]

Oh, man.

[FMKK]

Surely there's absolutely no way they'll actually book Brock vs Kane?!

[Jesse Ewiak]

Surely there's absolutely no way they'll actually book Brock vs Kane?!

 

Would it really be worse than Brock vs. Holly?

Seeing the absolute state of Kane trying to do any work in the ring whatsoever in this run, 100% yes

[Alucard]

Has Brock ever wrestled Kane before?

 

A house show in 2002 was the only time.

[Loss]

All of Brock's feuds this year being one and done still baffles me. I understanding keeping him from Braun in a singles just so neither guy has to lose, but Styles and Joe still have plenty of fuel in the tank as Brock opponents.

[Mad Dog]

I think they wanted them to be one and done and are skilled focused on that Brock/Roman match that they aren't exploring things that get hit along the way.
