Rehabilitated Rick Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Not surprised the Saudi money has reverberated to the MMA grifters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) It’s a smart grift. No fight training camps, less dangerous worked environment, and he only has to come in for one match, or two. Pro wrestling is the easiest grift for pro athletes as long as you aren’t convinced to be a regular. Brock currently has the best of both worlds. He left before his prime, and came back without his body already being broken down, and now he’s the top guy again, with his demands are always being met even if he still comes in for more than one match a year.

If he just keeps his MMA gimmick of losing all the time and then making excuses about how he broke every bone in his body in training and had no business even stepping into the ring on the night... And then gets upset that they're booing him and said he only fought because he loves the fans so much and he wanted to compete as a way to show his love for them... And when that makes them boo more, say that he's dedicating the fight to the troops stationed overseas who are defending American Freedom! C'mon everybody, USA! USA! and still get booed because the pandering is so blatantly obvious. If he does that, that's a pretty good heel promo. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think that time it was my heart..." I can't remember whether he was shitting or puking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Oh, and here's that ECW match EDIT: It's funny, Eddy blows the same rana that they blow in his famous match with Love Machine against Santito and Octagon IIRC. Poor Scorpio gets the "you fucked up", at least Eddy's looked better because Dean went face first into the mat.

That sort of distinction is reserved for the elite of the elite. I'd actually put Mick Foley in the elite of the elite. He's unorthodox, but Foley has a long ass career full of good to great matches, outstanding promos, and the ability to get almost anything over. That's extremely rare. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on that borderline for me; I could see him being a wild brawler in Mexico, he was versatile enough to work deathmatches in Japan, he can do comedy or horror or seriousness, and I see the argument for him.

He was so great on commentary on those early Raws I would have loved to have seen him do commentary again post WCW buyout. That was literally my first exposure to pro wrestling so I'm biased.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Savage was alright as the face color guy, but wouldn’t he have been better if slowly morphed into a heel color instead? I bet you if Lawler wasn’t hired, and with Heenan gone that would’ve happened. Just think about it. Savage’s strange vocabulary always expanded several pages as a heel. He could’ve potentially eclipsed Ventura as the all time great. Edited February 17, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that he's a dick more so he just likes to be alone. He grew up working on the farm and has a decent work ethic. I'm not the biggest fan of Brock by any means but there isn't a single person who would turn down the money he is offered to do so little. I compare Brock to Matt Hughes. Neither one really wants to be around people and I wouldn't want to piss off either. Brock did buy beer for everyone though during the cancelled raw a couple years ago so he does have a heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Brock is also a guy who sees wrestling as his job. It’s not his childhood dream or whatever. He tries to make his situation/pay the best he can get. Good for him. It’s an industry that chews people up and spits them out. If you can get your’s while you can, good for you.
