Coffey Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm stunned that no "Can he handle jail?" jokes haven't been made yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMKK Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Surely there's absolutely no way they'll actually book Brock vs Kane?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Ewiak Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Surely there's absolutely no way they'll actually book Brock vs Kane?! Would it really be worse than Brock vs. Holly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Has Brock ever wrestled Kane before? A house show in 2002 was the only time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 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 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
