Yeah, that was a great time. But that was days ago, maybe even weeks. There are like three posts about Kane per page. That's not why people aren't posting here.

Whatever, fuck this nonsense. Time to look forward to some quality Pro-Wrasslin'
- EVOLVE 12; Fit Finlay vs Jon Davis, AR Fox vs Sami Callihan, Johnny Gargano & Samuray del Sol vs Chuck Taylor & Silas Young
- ROH - Border Wars; Davey Richards (c) vs Kevin Steen, Roderick Strong vs Fit Finlay, The Briscoe Brothers (c) vs Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team, Lance Storm vs Mike Bennett
- EVOLVE 13; El Generico vs Sami Callihan, AR Fox vs Jigsaw vs Samuray Del Sol vs Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano (c) vs winner of the 4-way.
Did you see what they had Cena take before that?

If this leads to Brock randomly appearing for the next couple months, and destroying people while demanding Cena come back and fight him, I might be okay with this.

I don't normally agree with Frankman, but he's right. It's a set back now only if they don't let Lesnar cause chaos. If Cena is gone, he can point to having "lost" but "winning" by knocking Cena out of the WWE.
Cena losing allows you to tell this story in a less convoluted way, however.

... I don't think you're going to be happy. You don't pay a guy $5 for random appearances, especially with it looking like Cena will be gone.
HEY!
Oh definitely. HEAVEN FORBID the WWE be predictable.
... y'know, the thing Wrassle-GAF bitches about constantly every single fucking damn week.
Yeah, that could work. If Cena refuses that would be better. Never happen though.

and what if Cena comes back and loses a brutal match to Brock? queue the storyline of 'maybe Cena's win at Extreme Rules was at too great a cost. maybe Cena will never be the same again'. i'm pretty sure we've seen that one before too.
I won't be happy. I want wrestlers, not MMA has beens that ditched their chance years ago. Dolph doesn't need to get squashed by Brock.

That would be alot better with the final fight continue...lol
If you say so.
It's why some people aren't posting here. And it's good that it's not being posted about as much.

where did it happen? was there a conscious ref in the ring?
these things are not irrelevant. Cena didn't have Brock pinned for more than ten seconds. Cena didn't do anything to Brock that had the doctors checking on him. i'd argue that given the amount of energy that Brock Lesnar diving through the air represents, that strike was easily the most damaging of the fight.

I'm not here because of the Kane Kliq.
I wish I could watch these live, but I work the 11th and I'm going to Ghost/Opeth/Mastodon on the 12th. That is going to be some quality wrasslin though.
He's already getting squashed by the Funk. It's kind of sad that he's jobbing now. He has a lot of talent.

I am absolutely speechless. How they could have Brock lose that match is COMPLETELY beyond me. They're either working a 4th dimensional long con, or they're ACTUALLY that terrible at booking programs. Brock Lesnar is just another guy and anybody arguing that point is TOTALLY INSANE.
I care about nothing. Absolutely nothing this company does anymore.

And yet, these people still haven't posted here as much. It's the product, has nothing to do with Kane. Spin stopped posting as much before Kane Kliq, Net said it was cause the product sucked, Frankman still posts, and you didn't post before either. So, what's the problem?

That makes sense if happens tommorow. If not Cena is leaving for months and that angle cant be played. Cena needs to give a farewell tommorow during which Brock sneaks up, beats his ass, and puts him out of commission. Even so that would paint Brock as a coward heel not a monster. WWE needs a monster with credibility, Tensai and Ryback dont have credibility, Brock does and they are on the verge of throwing it all away. If locker room morale was an issue they should have let Lesnar integrate, and saved this for Summerslam with Lesnar winning. Rushed angles often turn out poorly and this is a good example of that.

I love Dolph, but really? Ziggler is losing to Brodus fucking Clay right now, he's in WWE hell
The problem is that it's annoying. I just wanted to let you know. I'll stop now because it's pointless going back and forth and I'd rather discuss this Lesnar and Cena match.
I look at it this way: Vince has about 11 months left to put together something meaningful and put over his core roster before Brock goes back to shooting vermin with a .50 caliber rifle.
Why not have Brock go on a shoot style streak destroying the roster, forcing them to rally together against a common enemy and defend the 'sport'? John Cena leads the way, possibly putting him over with you smarks.
Is it that hard? Suspend disbelief. Busting Cena's lip was a good start. Not knowing what's real and what's fake is compelling wrestling.

Did you enjoy how Brock was a complete afterthought after the pin? He rolled out of the ring and we never saw him again.
We saw a lot of Cena though.

I think unpredictability is overrated. It's perfectly okay to be predictable if it makes sense. Being unpredictable just to swerve people isn't good.
No offense, but drive by lurkers getting mad at the actual regulars in this thread is a bigger nuisance to this thread than anything else.

Enjoy the gig, that's a hell of a line-up! I think out of all 3 of those shows, the matches I'm most anticipating are Finlay vs Davis & Finlay vs Strong (both of which should be utter wars) and Callihan vs Generico. I fear for Davey vs Steen - something tells me they're going to drag this out to Final Battle. I know I'm usually in favour of long-term booking, but I've had enough of Davey with the belt.

The only thing I can think of is Lesnar got popped for roids in a drug test and WWE found out recently and will announce the suspension tomorrow or Vince got pissed and Lesnar is done in WWE. Otherwise it makes no sense. Why would you name your show Monday Night Raw starring Brock Lesnar and then have him lose? The money would have had Lesnar going on a winning streak, destroying everyone put in his path, and then the people pay to see who will finally beat him. He's ruined if he is continuing in WWE. Just another guy.

They could balance it out with having him hammer Triple H tomorrow.
Not going to happen though.
The war was the match. if the point is to just hurt cena, Brock could have just simply came out any random night after a match and beat the shit out of him ala the Nexus.
There's being predictable and then there's being stupid. If the WWE has to be predictable to get to the more interesting story, than so be it. People only despise the WWE's predictability because it leads to boring outcomes.
if the point is Lesnar causing chaos(which makes no fucking sense) and him being a destructive force then why have him get pinned by a guy who has been beaten before by HHH, Randy orton, CM punk, and Lord fucking Tensai a week ago. He isn't heads and shoulders above everyone else anymore.
It won't be frequent i can tell you that.
Brock doesn't like to travel and yeah people are bitching because you pay a guy 5 mill to lose a month in his return.. and we all know it happened because the entire internet was saying brock was going to win so vince did it in spite of the smarks just like he has done every other big match over the past couple of months.
As a fan i don't mind surprises but it's the way cena won that is pissing me and most people off, you are telling me brock literally beats cena half to death for 20 minutes and out of no where cena punches him, gives him a AA and wins? this is WHY people hate cena, this is WHY people dont like WWE.
Nobody likes super cena, it's bullshit and it makes brock look weak, yeah he whooped cena for 20 minutes but when cena gets up from that beating and wins in 2 moves that completely invalidates everything the other person did and it's why i rarely watch the product.. WWE was doing pretty well for about 6 months and now this shit? no thanks, if i want bullshit endings i will watch TNA.
Kinda sad, but then again, he's leaving isn't he?
Oh I'm planning on staying a regular, don't worry about that.
Whatever, fuck this nonsense. Time to look forward to some quality Pro-Wrasslin'

Finlay getting fired from the WWE for actually being creative seems to have been one of the better things to happen to him.

it makes sense in the real world where some injuries leave athletes a shadow of their former selves.
Brock doesn't give a fuck. that's his character. he doesn't give a fuck about hurting you. he doesn't give a fuck about losing. he doesn't give a fuck about how he looks. he's here for the money, and to brutalize. he mocks Cena's win tomorrow night and puts over Cena's injuries saying that all he cared about was hurting Cena and that Cena can take his last win to retirementville as a consolation prize.
when he kicked Cena from behind in the balls it didn't look cowardly. i'm sure we'll see Brock wrecking shit tomorrow night.
keep replaying that 'They hired me because they're sick of Cena's crap' line or whatever it was.

Turning people away? This thread is over 17,000 replies. Seems plenty healthy to me despite the sucktastic product.
If anything, the thread would have LESS activity if the product was good because then people wouldn't have anything to bitch about.
Crappy WWE and BS Vince booking is what helps WrassleGAF to thrive.

Can you imagine if Brock went on a year-long winning streak where he'd absolutely kill his opponents and then Cena challenges him for WrassleMania?
Well, see. The Kane Kliq didn't make you stop posting. In some ways, it inspired you to become a regular. You're welcome!
Don't look at me. He's the one saying that people aren't posting here.
Hey, thanks!

Brah I put this thread on my years ago when nobody wanted to. I didn't ask for it but I did it. People aren't BELIEVING in here anymore.
I'm saying anyone. Brock left. I wouldn't want The Miz jobbing to Brock, and I don't even want Miz in the WWE. Brock winning is the equivalent of a guest GM winning to me. He's not here for the long run, and he's not going to put anyone young over, so I'd rather he just sit on the bench and go pork his old woman.

Because that is a good idea and even if the WWE came-up with it, it would be abandoned the first time a segment rating dipped in the slightest. At the end of the day, Brock didn't boost ratings so old man Vince didn't put him over his guy who just so happens to have been the top guy during their lowest ratings in decades.
This is exactly my thought process.
Have Cena swollowing eggs and hitting a side of beef for months sharpening his NHB skills to challenge him and defend the sport.
This booking was so short sighted and horrible.

That would make them too much money. Making sure people know the wrestler is better than the mma fighter is so much more important to Vince. They continually fuck up every big angle they do though, so why should I be surprised?

I don't.....I don't even know. Brock Lesnar looked like an absolute reckless wrestling/MMA hybrid maniac the entire match, then Cena pulls his stupid crap out of nowhere and in 3 seconds BROCK LESNAR is just another guy.

Of course Layla looked good. Come on now, she's not Christy Hemme or something where her looks went down the toilet in record time.
