The one man immune to the golden shovel of the reign of terror.
Plus Jericho doesn't need another 5 year run in WWE like he did in AEW. He's already a legend and a first ballot HOFer. Just around 1 year of Y2J. Hopefully Y2J will be more apprehensive towards Nose in getting his own creative get through to the WWE. Cena was too nice to just follow their orders with a shitty creative.
Think Brock's ploy was simply to get a bigger deal from WWE as he told later in 2019 that he was just too old for MMA at that point. And that tease for a switch back to UFC worked immensely in Brock's favor. Just one appearance at UFC and a picture with Dana White without even having filed for clearance of his name for PED testing fooled the whole world of wrestling and MMA into thinking he was going back.

I noticed the same thing during his triple threat match against Ilja and JD and later on against Hayes as well. Some of spots are great but he somehow just disjointed in those matches too. Yet to watch his match against Punk though. Haven't been able to watch WWE properly for over a month now owing to the lack of excitement and stupid booking.
Hes lucky Orton respects him so much, and couldn’t really care about accolades so he’s happy to be ambassador / mascot or whatever. Unlike Kutta, he has actually evolved and grown mature with age.
So sad to see our childhood hero getting treated like a sideshow bob on his own podcast by a talentless chick who went anywhere only through her connection to him…
Maybe but Punk's usually the guy that gets the best out of others. But if you watch the triple threat from NXT Bron vs JD vs Ilja, the same thing happened there. Ilja and JD had insane in ring chemistry but Bron's spots sort of missed a bit. Could be the experience factor as Ilja and JD have years of indie experience which made them tango so well. Bron basically started his career from WWE.
AJ also said he was offered a deal by WWE back then but it was very less money.
Might be my favorite match of both men. Now admittedly I haven't seen a ton of Terry Funk matches, but I can't imagine that he has had too many matches better than this. I agree completely. It's so refreshing to see a match where the violence feels real, and there are no tables, barbed wire bats etc.
Brock could have continued on if he wasn’t suffering from such a severe case of diverticulitis back in 2011. Though I don't think he would have beaten Velasquez anyway, who was just an incredible fighter at his peak and an absolute beast. DC vs. Brock - it's interesting tbh. But I also think DC would have won just because Brock was past his prime when DC was at his. I enjoyed Brock's UFC run but I also thought his biggest weapon in UFC was his physicality. Even in the heavyweight division very few guys looked like him, or had that incredible athleticism and explosion. I don't think he needed to rely on his wrestling as much (especially when he was winning) as someone like DC who had to make up for their lack of size, with his speed, quickness and ability on the mat.
It would have been better if it was Austin but honestly Taker being there worked pretty well too.
Lmao, this is the first I'm hearing of this. I remember enjoying this match and thinking this is one of the better women's gimmick matches I've seen in recent times, but I never thought it would get the rub from HH
Yeah, this match didn't do it for me dawg. It lacked a little something, and I think you're right on the money. Bron has progressed at such a rapid rate that sometimes we forget that this guy literally came into the business five years ago. And as good as he is, he ain't Kurt Angle. On top of that as you mentioned, he is not exactly getting the reps because of how much they have scaled back on the house-shows. I have no doubt that he will sort these minor issues out but it does make you question if he is ready to be put in that main-event position just yet. There are so many people you could have him work with before you finally decide to put the belt on him. But the way they booked him and this faction so far, it almost feels like he would have to win the belt in the next 3-4 months or it would bury him.
Seems like they will be doing Sami vs Drew at Mania now hopefully.
Possibly the only two people the current egocentric version of Dwayne agreed to get beaten by that day. Austin and Taker. It's actually pretty good for WWE that Taker was there and accepted. Pretty sure Nose was itching to be the one to take him down with a pedigree had he not been told to stay away from the ring forever.
Apparently Taker was sitting in the skybox with his wife and his old podcast show host watching the main-event. Then Taker tells them that he needs to go to the bathroom, and like 15 minutes later he's in the ring choke slamming The Rock, and his wife and the podcast host guy are just losing their minds lol. What a pro.
That would be an amazing storyline if they decide to pull the trigger on Sami this year. From what I recall, Sami has never beaten Drew in a singles match. Because they always make a point to mention it on commentary.
Yeah but it would have looked way cooler if Taker was wearing his wrestling gear. Vince would have never had Taker show up to interfere in the main event of Mania in his regular clothes.
I booked Drew vs Sami vs Randy months ago during our Mania 42 booking for WHC lol.
/10 way.
Spot on analysis. Cane was a beast, I pray In Sha Allah he gets justice for what those filthy pdf dogs did to his child and that he is free of being sentenced because he tried to protect his kid.
as in Khabib was too technically versed that he would’ve stormed Tony’s tactics and still find a way to submit him.
