Cutting out more intestines is NOT a good way to get him down to anything close to Punk's weight class for a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I would hope Punk would at least toy with him a little before putting him away to make it worth paying for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Interested in see what the deal made was, because not only is WWE acknowledging the fight, but are still promoting Brock being at Summerslam. http://www.wwe.com/article/brock-lesnar-compete-ufc-200-prior-return-major-wwe-event?sf27995709=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 As mentioned before, I think it has to leave a door open for Rousey to do a Mania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 During Brock's last contract negotiation with WWE - he was holding them up for money (like he always does) so one of the compromises was that they put in an option that allowed him to take one fight before Wrestlemania next year. I am assuming this means he is out of Summerslam since I doubt Brock is gonna wanna fight and then flip back to wrestling less than a month later but who knows EDIT - I just saw the WWE release claiming he will be at Summerslam so clearly ignore me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 WWE specifically stated he would be at SummerSlam. http://www.wwe.com/article/brock-lesnar-compete-ufc-200-prior-return-major-wwe-event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I actually suggested this very thing on this board back when Lesnar's negotiations were happening. If the WWE in exchange gets the rights to have Rousey on one of their shows, it's a boatload of money for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Regarding Goldberg: Won't shock me if he's the headliner next time WWE has 'Mania in Atlanta. WWE said Lesnar would be at Summerslam. Not that he would wrestle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a good one, but a chance. Rusev vs.Brock in WWE ring = squash match, 14 suplexes, concussion (from the 14 suplexes), Lana eats F-5 post-match, Vince chortles maniacally, crowd goes home and forgets about Rusev.

Black Angel Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 So if Brock goes out there and gets murdered where does Vince go from there? And what about that whole diverticulitis issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Idiotic on WWE's part. They panic and have him beat Undertaker, which causes 2 1/2 years of booking to get wonky because they don't want to waste the win and have Brock put anyone over and now there's a 50/50 shot he gets his lights turned out at the biggest MMA PPV ever. This is Inoki killing his wrestlers in shoot fights level of stupidity here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The worst look for WWE is once again having it shoved in their face that they don't know how to promote a special attraction like Brock. I think what Brock's doing could actually be beneficial to the other wrestlers. He's exposing some weaknesses in WWE's negotiating powers and someone's actual value to the company compared to what WWE and many people online claim someone's value is. People can talk about "the brand" all they want but "the brand" wasn't enough to boost Smackdown ratings. Instead they need to try and sell it on unique names instead of "hey it's two more hours of WWE." The moment John Cena is drafted to Smackdown, he should walk in and demand a massive raise.

(BP) Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 John Cena is the only post-Brock star that could potentially throw his weight around, and he doesn't because he's the ultimate company man. There's a reason he's been on top so long when Vince has had major disputes with every other ace he's ever had. If anyone on the roster wants to get Brock considerations they can either go to LA and stand in line at casting calls with their fingers crossed or get really good at punching dudes for real. They aren't going to get special treatment as wrestlers, even ones that make Vince serious money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
