Brock squashes Shaemus, takes the MITB contract. I'm okay with this.
Well maybe not a squash - a stiff ass brawl that Brock wins. But yeah something like that.

What I meant by it not mattering, having Brock job to Haitch and Cener, is that it didn't kill his character at all and he suffered no long term ill effects. Like a Bray Wyatt loss, it doesn't matter.

i wasn't around at that time, but at least it doesn't matter now cos we've got this brock holding it all together
I had a reporter post a screenshot from the PoV video
I can't deal with that, its just too close, too raw. Goddamnit.
I'm at the point where I think I would be pretty okay if the US passed a law that straight up denied civilians the right to own guns. And I own a firearm myself.

That wouldn't do any good though.
WrassleGAF is probably not a good place to have this discussion - actually I don't think NeoGAF is either.
Agreed. It's just hard to process this stuff sometimes.

As an outsider looking in. Yes, absolutely you would.
There is no good reason to arm the populace either, not in 2015 in the Western world.
it wouldn't completely solve the problem, but it would help. It's way too fucking easy for a crazy to get a gun in this country right now.
oh you are going to LOVE tonight's NXT special

We did it after a school shooting. I wish I could say I was amazed it didn't happen after the multiple American school shootings.

It's not gonna solve criminals from owning guns, no.
But it will solve "person snapping, grabbing his gun and going on a shooting spree.", which is what shit like this is.
Most people can't get guns if the only way to get them is through organized crime. And even if they know sort of where to get one, to actually get one is another step entirely.

Yes, but what other character development has she had outside of Total Divas? This is how they're presenting her to us, isn't it?

Well yeah, but you framed it like you said you hated Paige the person now. Everyone on Total Divas has does shitty things.

So let's say you can book it: Brock has to lose cleanly via pinfall or submission. Who does it? When? How?
My pick: Cesaro at Wrestlemania. But it won't happen.
I wouldn't mind seeing Brock manhandle the roster at the Rumble and going on to Mania, but they need to turn Roman and place the belt on him if they wanna go that way.

I would be okay with this because it makes a new star in the process.
How reality will play out is that John Cena will beat Brock Lesnar for the title and to break Flair's record

Just because I can book it, doesn't mean I should or will. I'd never do it. Not unless there's a heck of a story out there that needs that to happen to help make a bigger star. Lesnar doesn't get pinned.

They really need to do Cesaro, if only because it's believable he could take Brocks beating and still be strong enough to dish it out. The Heyman connection is a gold mine for material, too. Either that or turn Rollins and make him chase Lesnar as a face.
Balor is my "Vince" pick. Idk how they sell Balor winning clean.

Cesaro isn't ready for that spot. I still doubt he ever will be.
He still has those insufferable WWE style suicide dives.

Aiii what is your take on Switzerland guns politics?
As someone that lives in Mexico I would feel a lot safer if guns were legal here. But at the same time the reason narcs are so well armed is because of the illegal guns market between Mexico and the USA. It also does not help that the army and police are really corrupt and sometimes are on the narcs payroll. So if guns are going to be legal there needs to be a big safety and prevention culture, something I do not see the USA having, but Switzerland seems to be different.
fucking hell The New Day is great

I don't see Cesaro getting to Brock level soon enough, so I would like to see a Network televised house show match between the two where they can just go all out.
Or at least, just not Bo Dallas. Like, at least someone who isn't a jobber.
Jimmy King

Well, I'm interested in the Bo Dallas match as well.
Don't they tend to sell out the MSG shows anyways?

Might as well save it for ziggler's retirement match since he'd damn near kill himself in the process.

It's incredible how quickly they turned around the possum piss they were given. So entertaining.

Have any of you heard about the Darren Young twitter stuff? Very weird.
I think part of it was that Vince was a) angry about how Brock left and b) wasn't sure Brock was going to completely stick around. I think once he knew he had a year of Brock; he went with the "Beast Mode Brock" strategy; knowing that it might be one of the bigger chances he had to make a complete new star. Which might actually have been the case with Rollins.
Plus; one of the other long-term effects of Brock beating Taker with no momentum is that it (at least temporarily) has showed a whole generation of fans (and especially smarks) that they can't always assume they know what is going to happen. It basically took predictability and threw it out the window, and did it to a group of fans that believed they knew what was going on all the time. Even now; when there's a logical ending to a given match, we're always a little more unsure now because of Taker / Lesnar.
Reportedly for WM 31 Vince wanted Brock vs Rock (since Rock still has a title re-match awaiting) and HHH wanted Roman vs Brock (mind you, this being the idea a little after WM 30, when they knew Bryan might be an injury risk and the Shield was mega hot still). I wonder what would have happened had Vince gone with his gut and gone with Rock vs Brock. Assuming minimal changes (Let's say the Shield doesn't break up, probably, since they don't need Roman / Rollins / Ambrose as singles quite yet) - Lesnar runs through everyone as normal, but Rock shows up and wins the Rumble instead of Reigns. Would the backlash to Rock have been as bad as it was towards Reigns?
Just watch the first 15 minutes of Monday's Raw and pretend there's a referee in the ring. That's exactly what's going to happen.
Yes. That's why they haven't done anything other than house shows at MSG for quite some time.
lol yeah.
Well Ziggler's got just enough of an arsenal to hit Brock with a few impressive looking moves and Brock could either sell them well (he's an excellent seller) or no sell them and look like a beast. And Ziggler's overselling would make Brock look fucking amazing. Brock would spin Ziggler so hard for the F5 that he could probably spin Ziggler around twice.
As long as it isn't a feud, yeah. Dudes character is stale as fuck, gives Sheamus a run for his money.
