Brock vs Roman = Everything Wrong with the Current Product

So the crowd was chanting "This is awful"?

I thought they were randomly chanting "Miz is awesome".

Hmm.

It was definitely "this is awful"

In this instance, I was only using Bryan as an example of someone the crowd is actually emotionally invested in and would support in his "quest for the title."

However, I think Bryan could very well be built as a believable adversary to Brock. I seem to remember a segment Bryan was doing during Total Divas where he was talking about changing his style and was talking about becoming more ground and submission based and building his style up to where even a double leg takedown was cool and exciting. So I could see them going that path. Its the classic David vs Goliath story, and they could build Bryan's pure wrestling ability as his edge. "If he can get the Beast down on his back..."

That would be the most unbelievable thing ever if Bryan beat Lesnar clean. I don't mean unbelievable in WOW factor I mean someone that could blow away with a strong wind could never take someone of Lesnars size and ability. That's a stretch even for WWE 😂😂

Besides why waste that loss for Lesnar when he'd just be right back on the injured list after Lesnar busted him open the hard way.

I could see someone of his size like Shawn Michaels beating him but their style is so different. One sweet chin at the right moment and it's over. But a knee? Or a Yes lock? Idk I don't see it being believable even on their spectrum. Maybe a diving headbutt or something but it would have to be something big and impactful. His move arsenal just doesn't cut it for me. Maybe they could do it. I just doubt it would come off as legit.

I hate those. Like.....if it's so awful, leave. Better yet, start training. Get good. And YOU go do it 300 days a year. Until then, shut up.


People are allowed to be disappointed, but to call into question, the talents and skill of a WWE worker, is asinine. Regardless of the following of other promotions - ROH, NJPW, etc. - WWE is the top dog of wrestling. Regardless of what anyone says to get the smarks riled up, everyone wants to go to WWE at one point in their career to say they've been there.

It wasn't a handful of fans chanting this. It was basically the whole damn stadium. The match was crap and nobody gave a damn. Especially after the other matches we'd already seen that night that were superior in every possible way.

I respect the opinion of people who did not enjoy the match. But personally, I did enjoy the match.

For an entire year everyone thought it was a 100% certainty that Roman Reigns was winning the Title. Instead, the match ended with him in a puddle of his own blood as the loser of the match.

We got Suplex City, they broke the announcers table, we got blood, Roman lost....it was everything I could have expected or wanted.

Anybody who expected Savage/Steamboat II was being unrealistic. Brock Lesnar hasn't done anything other than Suplex City for the last 4 years, and Roman isn't really that good of a wrestler....how was this supposed to be a 6 Star match from the Tokyo Dome with those two guys?

I think that given the two people involved, it was as good as it could have been. Yeah, Roman has more moves that he could have done (Drive By, Samoan Drop, dive over the top rope, and the sit out Razor's Edge he only did during the feud with Rusev two years ago).... but it is what it is.

Bryan beating Lesnar by submission is laughable, but I think the knee beating Lesnar is somewhat plausible (within a ridiculous pro wrestling contest), if they spend a year protecting it as a knockout shot.
