I give it nine months, but I’m probably being optimistic He is in pretty good graces here and elsewhere “ftmp” but he’s already got a small army of haters forming on the YouTube’s and other places.On a Vince level? Well he’d have to start sexually abusing his employees first among other things.

Can't be great for his brand. Considering he wasn't the only one running with this, I'm pretty sure there is some accuracy to Brock walking out and him reconsidering based on his contractual status. If the folks reading the dirtsheets cannot handle that, then they should not read anything. Also, Bryan Alvarez has a brand? First time I'm hearing that. 4
Contentious C Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 I'll believe it when he's fucking dead in the ground and even then, I'll be tempted to dig his disgusting ass up just to be sure. 1

Alvarez and Sapp report something and when they do get it wrong they spend all day on Twitter arguing with beards. Wrestling journalism is a funny thing.

The thing is they probably didn't get this wrong though. Everything single detail doesn't have to be correct to the tee. If anyone who has following pro wrestling on the internet for years and expects it to be, then that person is an verified asshole. 4

Bryan and Dave are doing a show Sunday and Alvarez says something like “So what ‘s the latest?” And Dave says “why don’t you tell me. You know more than I do” then proceeds to drag Bryan over the nonexistent (?) plane flight and other details about the story. At the time, Dave was being a smug jerk. This time, Alvarez might deserve it. He has been wrong several times lately. 1 1

zendragon Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 3 hours ago, twiztor said: back to Vince's Internal Memo: i like that he specifically calls out that he was a "smiling, docile, level-headed, calm presence". that totally jibes with all the reports over the years of Vince being a yelling, controlling, power-mad perfectionist. I'm guessing that's him trying to use humor. I really hope he either writes a book or sits for some form of long form interview. I would just love to hear his side of the last 40 years
The Natural Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Didn't know expect to wake up to this news. Feels like there's worse to come. Good riddance to Vince. Hope Brock goes as well. Ditto for Dunn and TAFKA Johnny Ace. Edited July 23, 2022 by The Natural 1

NikoBaltimore Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) I'm guessing Brock did walk but will do SS and walk. That still gives credence to what was reported and with it happening next weekend he might as well do that. I'm still leaning towards him being a POS but might as well get one more payday.

It hit me that at one point you had to wait a WHOLE WEEK before you could bitch and moan and expect a retraction/correction. Also, no one had direct social media accounts that you could do that through. If Meltzer closes down his Twitter and that old ass Juno account, the internet wrestling community might explode. 1
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 They don't really need to tell anyone a "thing changed". Just do what Dave does. Every Meltzer paragraph ends with "but that could change." Can't be wrong if you don't commit in the first place.

Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter either way. Brock was on the show. He’s most likely doing SummerSlam Story’s over. Edited July 23, 2022 by Tarheel Moneghetti Typo

matt925 Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 I would absolutely assume Vince called Brock himself to at least try to save the summerslam main event. That doesn’t seem very far fetched. 6
Eivion Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Did the Brock leaving over Vince thing make any sort of sense to anyone? I always thought it was rather strange. Brock might have some closeness to Vince, but I can't really see him giving too much of a fuck whether Vince is gone or not as long he makes his money. 3
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 There's also recently been reports from these same outlets of WWE leaking BS rumors. it's possible they worked the sheets as they've done so (or been accused of) before. Maybe.. maybe not.

During the recent MJF TIHNG, Dave and Bryan did a 13-minute segment that ended with Dave saying “Well, I can’t tell you what the story behind it really is because I don’t know what the story behind it really is” I really want those ten minutes back. 1
Phil Schneider Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 My sources said Brock left and Goldberg was the back up plan, I assume they worked things out, but I am pretty sure it wasn't a work 7 3

Phantom Lord Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Maybe Brock did leave for real. He left and got a nice steak dinner and then came back.

Maybe.. maybe not. Over the last couple of years I've read a few books about political reporting. One of the key lessons in reporting in Washington is that anyone who gives you information is doing so for a reason, no none is doing it out of the goodness of their heart. so you have understand everyone has an agenda. It al seems very similar to reporting on professional wrestling 2

That could very well be what happened but now that Lesnar showed up there will be wrestlers themselves calling everyone marksss and Sapp/Bryan are already going at it with trolls. it's all....weird.
