Charlie M. Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 EDIT: Actually, naa, I'm done. This thread is gotten silly. Will do the measures needed to not deal with MORELOCK anymore officially. Anyone have any actual match write ups that are there own for the Swagger run instead of just posting someone else said? I might go back and review the matches from 2015 that I listed because those are the main ones for his case within the voting window. I would suggest watching the recent Owens (1/27 ME) and Stardust (12/29 ME) ones first and seeing if you're intrigued to see more. The main thing that surprised me was that he seems to show more personality in the ring as a face which usually isn't the case in WWE. I'm not sure exactly where I'd place him in my Top 10 because there's about 5 wrestlers who have a couple of MOTYC level performances but when I look back through their match listing for the year, their overall output doesn't blow me away.

nofuture Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 You missed his debut against Bull Dempsey. Which was probably the absolute worst way he could've been debuted. Dempsey was in that icky in-between period where Corbin had just killed him as a tough guy but he hadn't discovered Bull Fit yet, and it was one of those matches where Dempsey took (what felt like) 75% of it before Crowe won. Just awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Are matches happening now in the voting period because Zack Ryder contributed to his argument for inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Are matches happening now in the voting period because Zack Ryder contributed to his argument for inclusion. Now would be before Feb 29 - so yes to the voting period. But for consideration for the brackets - I would say Fast Lane is the cutoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just awful. Yup that match sucked, I think all of the other ones were mediocre to good, and he has been fucking great since he went back to the indies. Feels like just because WWE couldn't figure out how to use him means he shouldn't be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Other then Brock vs. Reigns and Brock vs. Taker twice I'm not remembering a whole lot that he did. I guess there was the Big Show match and the Kofi match on network specials. I don't believe neither Brock vs. Reigns or Taker fell into the walk around and do germans thing. There was some of that sure but once the matches heated up there was a lot of give and take and I never felt Brock would definitely win. There was enough in those matches for me to believe in Roman and Taker as worthy challengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 An argument for Brock? The guy had to have told Reigns to fucking hit him as hard as he could and as much as a killer Brock is, he did things to make Reigns look like the guy to lead the company that no one else has done. I have never, ever, seen someone take a legit beating in a match like that for the sake of making someone else look that good. Brock's face looked like shit midway through that match. Props to him. Another plus for Brock was his work in the triple threat match with Cena and Rollins. He credibly sold death and came in from out of nowhere faster than anyone that size should actually move to beat ass. That was hella impressive and the majority of us on here lost our shit for that spot. His work in the Royal Rumble was also good. Does anyone with Brock's contract need to be flying through the air delivering knees like that? Is there anyone else in WWE who goes, "you don't want to sell for me, FUCK YOU, take THIS!" and just beats ass to make someone actually sell? It was awesome.

Cristobal Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 What's he got in the voting period? The Mania match, the Taker matches, and the RR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 vs. Show, vs. Sheamus, vs. Kofi There was a better fancam of the Sheamus match out there, but I was only able to find this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMDRAGON Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Brock had Kofi, Rollins, and Show matches that were televised too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Brock also had a forgettable(obviously) match with Rollins. That Brock/Sheamus match did more to boost Sheamus' case than Brock's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 If it is easier to think about (for the WWE Mania) PPVs in the time period run Mania 2015 - Fast Lane 2016 The first RAW was March 2, 2015 (The one with Rollins/Reigns, John Stewart "confronting" Rollins, Steph telling Cena he needed to get Rusev to agree to rematch, etc...) The last RAW will be Feb 29, 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 What's he got in the voting period? The Mania match, the Taker matches, and the RR? Brock taking out the commentary booth surely helps his cause: Skip to 05:48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 And by that metric - the Brock/Taker brawl is also in the time period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Also, the Brock vs. Ambrose vs. Reigns match will fall within this time period and I expect that to boost Brock's case as well. Probably will give the other two a boost too. I expect it will be a fun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 God - the fact that nothing have brought up J&J Security makes me sad I mean, the act was great, but cagematch has them working only three matches in the voting period, all handicap.

RIPPA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 So basically the same as Taker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Except the matches weren't as good/memorable. I'm not really arguing for Taker, though, I wouldn't be mad at him being excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm not arguing for either But we are at like 80 WWE names mentioned - so I'm sad that no one remembered to maybe through them out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
