WWE have no idea what the audeince want and that promo was the complete opposite of what people there wanted to hear tonight.

Everything about that Heyman promo was baffling as fuck.

lol, so was WWE really hoping for Goldberg chants in Brock's town for that promo to work or something? Did they just give up?

The writers aren't paid to think. They're paid to regurgitate stuff for Vince.
I still have my doubts as to whether Toronto will boo their adopted Canadian son when he squares off against Goldberg at Survivor Series.
A face turn has to be earned. You can't just start feuding with heels or get screwed over by heels and expect the fans to embrace the guy. Especially if he barely shifts character or only transitions to "generic Roman Reigns face character" that has already proven to not get over.
He was more buyable as a face when he was returning from his injury than he is now.

That's a prime example of why you should almost never plan an entire promo around a specific audience reaction, which WWE does way too much.

I think he threw out the script about a minute it, tried his best to wing it based on reaction, then gave up.
I would not be surprised if word came from the back to bail the fuck out
Goldberg ended the career of The Best Is, Was and Ever Will Be. He gonna getthe shit booed out of him. You want Goldberg cheered? Book the match in Atlanta.

He was literally stammering...which he never does. For a second, I thought that he was pretending to be afraid of Goldberg.

Worst of all, they expected it in Lesnar's hometown. That was just some high level of poor planning there.
I don't think we really consider Brock Canadian. doesn't really come off that way. Jericho, Owens and Zayn will be over as fuck, though.
I hope my crowd cheers Goldberg. fuck brock.

Yet another tendency of lazy crutch writing instead of simply telling a story and letting the audience react naturally. They should KNOW this lesson by now but they refuse to learn.

The funny thing is that I bet if this show had no Brock and Goldberg made his return here instead of last week, the crowd would have reacted the same as the Denver crowd.

Are we supposed to believe Rollins is getting the title

Get HBK in Birk's corner, that'll get him booed in Oh Canada.
No need to explain it, just show up and say he's supporting his buddy Brock who once tried to kill him and break his arm.

Are we supposed to believe that if he won the title he wouldn't instantly slip back into douchebag chicken shit heel Champ?

As long as Brock is suspended, there is no UFC for Brock.

Take seriously huh?
One's a "monster" heel and the other is your every man white meat arab guy who likes ska.
Different characters.
Different degrees of who and what they should be.

Brock is more concerned with finding the right supplement to bail his cheating ass out than anything else right now.

Not a good night for Brock's tonight it seems
A monster doesn't need to look like a big meany from Prison. An awkward looking monster, especially of a 'hillbilly' variety, works very well.
Andre the Giant wasn't exactly stone faced and badass looking for the majority of his career.

Owens v Rollins is an awful feud. I say this as a huge fan of both guys. Jericho has been the only interesting part of it.

It was Heyman's worst promo...possibly ever.

Surprisingly, having two heels who are over as babyfaces beating up on a face that never fully completed his turn yet is not working.

Braun just doesn't seem mean to me. He is what Big Cass should be to be perfectly honest. Being the fun happy Mountain LumberJack Man could actually be something. Or nothing, I don't do booking.
