Also Taker looked gassed as fuck.

Yeah that 50 year old lifting a 280+ lb man looks tired. Frankly I'm amazed dude can even walk.

 

[Kacho]

How you gonna build up Lesnar to be an unstoppable beast and then have an old man beat his ass? It defies even crappy wrestling logic.

 

[serenewarfare]

Don't worry, folks. The G1 Climax starts in about three hours.

After the way that show just ended, I'll need every bit of it.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Oh and the problem with Lesnar is this:

During Lesnar's run in 2002-2004 only ONE (1) man took him down him clean in one on one confrontation, and that was an absolute legend in Kurt Angle. He pinned him once in a triple threat, and made him submit. The Goldberg match was throwaway and it never counts.

If Lesnar wins back the strap, you're going to have to take it off him by cheating in another triple threat, and people are gonna see it coming. There's just no way it could work.

Heyman'll stab Lesnar in the back. That's how it's been every time for poor ol' Brock. He's always going to do it. Just a question of when...

 

[akileese]

Don't worry, folks. The G1 Climax starts in about three hours.

Thank god for that. You would think with all the history of how NOT to book pro wrestling WWE would learn not to use a WCW no finish for a huge PPV title match (for a match NO ONE wants to see mind you!) but nope!

 

[Fox318]

Taker can't put on a good match to save his life these days. Now we are going to waste precious Brock dates on his ass? Fuck this.

Brock vs Owens
Brock vs Luke Harper
Brock vs Cesaro
Brock vs Big E
Brock vs Rock
Brock vs Austin
Brock vs Y2J
Brock vs Dean
Brock vs Rusev
Brock vs Ryback
Brock vs a very stiff Sheamus


Hell even Brock vs Ryder

 

[Dick Justice]

If he gets fucking tired from doing a couple of moves, imagine him in a match. He didn't even look this terrible at WM30, even with that concussion.

 

[slightconfuse]

So I was watching. Evo and only caught the main event .

What was good about battleground ?

 

[RP912]

This PPV desperately needed Cesaro and Rusev to tear the house down.

Also Taker looked gassed as fuck.

A team with these two would be godtier with those suits.

Don't worry, folks. The G1 Climax starts in about three hours.

Already getting a headstart with finishing the rest of the G1 from last year.

PTP vs New Day

 

[Savitar]

Gotta admit was wondering how they'd make Seth credible against Lesner.

Answer?

They don't.

 

[Recall]

I was terrified as I thought Undertaker was going to injure Brock

 

[KissVibes]

I haven't watched WWE in like two months.

Tonight gave me no reason to start up again.

It was really good.

Brock vs. pretty much anyone else on the roster would be better use than Taker, both from a storyline quality and match quality perspective. I can't find a single redeeming thing about this program.

 

[Plywood]

If he gets fucking tired from doing a couple of moves, imagine him in a match.

I don't book these things and honestly if I were Taker I would do anything I can to get all the help I can get from anywhere be it physically or spiritually.

 

[Bowser]

Hell I'd rather see Brock vs Reigns again than Brock vs Taker. That match was horrendous.

 

[Thorakai]

I can't see Taker winning at Summerslam.

 

[StevieWhite]

Thank god for that. You would think with all the history of how NOT to book pro wrestling WWE would learn not to use a WCW no finish for a huge PPV title match (for a match NO ONE wants to see mind you!) but nope!

I bet a lot of people want to see that match.

 

[Paracelsus]

Heyman'll stab Lesnar in the back. That's how it's been every time for poor ol' Brock. He's always going to do it. Just a question of when...

But that's the point. Heyman betrayed him for an even bigger wrestler, and Big Show at the time was still perfectly legit and scary.

Right now, who do you book him with? Irish nose ring caveman?

 

[lovely ladies]

New
Day Rocks

It was really good.

Triple threat Divas' match was pretty good too.

neither can I...and I'm an Undertaker fan

no need for this match

 

[darkside31337]

Answer?

They don't.

Seriously. They even went out of their way to make sure Seth took an F5 and didn't kick out of it just to bury him some more.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Brock's first solo loss since 2013 is going to be giving the win back to Taker

I can't even be mad at WWE for this shit, because I'm the idiot that keeps watching their free TV shows and talking about them on forums, enabling them by doing so

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I don't have a rebuttal at all for that. I plead the fif

 

[Kaladin]

How much do you want to bet that we get an "I survived 13 suplexes on my own!" promo from Rollins tomorrow?

I mean seriously.....how does he not look like a bitch champion after that?

 

[Man God]

I loved it. Every minute of it.

 

[Heroman]

He is a bicth champ, that been his character since the day the shield broke up.

Vince thinks it will pop a rating, that's all there is to it.

 

[Brinbe]

Literally perfect if not for the Cena win.

Not a fan of how it made the championship look like shit though.

 

[Nyteshade517]

when the Taker/Brock stuff was done with 15 mins to go I thought Sting was going to come out and finish Rollins to complete the "What the hell are they doing" double

 

[Fox318]

Seriously. They even went out of their way to make sure Seth took an F5 and didn't kick out of it just to bury him some more.

They want to make Roman look stronger.

The show is still about trying to get him over.

 

[Plywood]

It's like people forget that gif of him running his ass off to the parking lot.

 

[Frecklestein]

Sasha was tonight's MVP for me

 

[Kaladin]

He is a bicth champ, that been his character since the day the shield broke up.

Yeah....but he actually beat his challengers.....this time he got treated like a bitch and did nothing.

 

[Recall]

Randy Orton can't sell. Seth Rollins took 13 suplexes and sold none of them. Cena had a war with Owens and instantly jumped up like it was nothing.

 

[BigSoftieFF]

How much do you want to bet that we get an "I survived 13 suplexes on my own!" promo from Rollins tomorrow?

He is a bitch champion. Hell the U.S. Title is more credible than the flagship championship.

 

[Gonzalez]

Taker looked like a near retired wrestler from WCW Saturday Night(Think Dick Slater).

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"Is that....THAT'S BUFF BAGWELL!"

 

[OctoMan]

Lol at you marks thinking Taker is going over brock

 

[Killing_Joke]

Taker needs to rock his grey hair with the ministry goatee. Would look so dope and might even hide the oldness.

I'm 50/50. Happy that SS will have a stacked card but bummed about a wasted Lesnar spot.

 

[narton]

So with WWE trying to kill ROH, and all the old stars killing the new ones, I'm convinced Triple H just wants to destroy everything and make sure everyone remembers his era as the best.

 

[Paracelsus]

Edge has got 32 world title wins of which 2 or 3 are clean. That's not the point, the problem is that he's absymal with the microphone, so he can't sell what his mouth is spewing like Edge did.

 

[Kusagari]

Are we back to Rollins-Ambrose now? Reigns still looks busy with Bray based on tonight.

 

[serenewarfare]

On top of all the other reasons why the ending is dumb, Taker straight up low-blowed Brock. So is he supposed to be a heel? Good luck getting people to boo him.

well... the only show HHH actually runs is the only decent one

Taker looked like a fucking grandpa and probably shouldn't be wrestling
