THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

Why the hell did they take Asuka streak just to have Flair drop the title to Carmella two days later? Why not have Asuka win clean at Mania and then get blindsided by Carmella with the cash in. That way both Asuka and Flair stay strong and Asuka's streak would have ended because a heel did heel shit to cheat. Everybody comes out looking better that way.
IDK, it just seems like a weird call. And Asuka wasn't on Raw or Smackdown this week.

They want Flair to be this juggernaut and have her be the only to best Asuka. It's dumb as hell. I feel like at least once s year they do this dumb shit. Have someone win after a ppv just to lose the title literally the next night.
Andre and Macho is my all time favorites.
You might be right there. Orton beating Christian only two day after he won the title comes to mind.
Yep. That's one that comes to mind. They did it last year was it Jinder? I can't remember who did it last year.
I posted maybe a page or two ago about Charlotte vs Rousey is a possible main event for Mania next year.
That's what they are supposedly going with. Vince loves blondes, so it's no surprise that Flair, Carmella and Bliss are getting pushes. Plus now they got Rhonda. Look for Mandy Rose to get a push also.
Vince didnt have Ric Flair so he going with the next best thing
setting Charlotte up to be the GOAT female wrestler of all-time
she is white
she is blonde
she is a legacy
thats why she kept switching titles with Sasha, to inflate her title reigns (she gonna surpass her dad's nubmer)
thats why she has a crazy record in PPVs
thats why she beat Asuka
thats why she main evented a PPV
they already lay the ground work for Charlotte vs Rousey to headline next year's mania

Yep.
Vince's pettiness trumps everything.
He let Asuka and Nakamura win the Royal Rumbles to catch some of that New Japan wave, but because he didn't create the wave, he's not going to go all the way into it and let them get the big wins at WM.
Maybe when Big Cass returns he'll be traded to Smackdown
WWE don't want a 6"9 male as an enforcer against women. That's not a good look.
It's a whole lotta truth in those two posts. As much as I would love for Asuka and Shinsuke to get pushed to the moon, deep down I know that y'all are right.
Also, I was listening to random sports podcast yesterday and they brought up some good points about Strowman. They were basically saying that Braun should be commended for his Mania match because other top stars in his position might not have been down for having basically a joke match at Mania.
Can you imagine if 96-99 era HBK or 98-04 era Stone Cold were told that the company already made plans for the main event of Mania. And they don't have a solid plan for them despite being the most popular person on the roster. But the one thing that they could do is go win the tag titles with a 10 year old.
Young Shawn or Austin would have probably walked out of the company if they heard that shit. Especially Shawn Michaels before finding church. No way he would played ball.

And got Nicolas more over than Roman
Those really are the stupidest ideas that I ever heard. So Vince booked those endings for people who will only be around for like a month at best. I don't know about y'all but as a true fan, I was already mentally prepared to see Roman win. I didn't like the idea but I was prepared for it. And I'm ready to see Roman as the champion. We've had four years of him being the 'next' guy. I'm just ready for them pull the trigger on it so that both the audience and Roman can move on to whatever comes next.
I think people will be able to live with Roman as champ. The casual Mania week only fans would have booed, but fuck em. They won't be here in a week.
Shit pisses me off too. They say fuck a storyline weekly. WWE is so behind when it comes to some things. And the fuckin Network hasn't had a makeover since it started. Cancelling mine once this Saudi event is over. They have tons of talent but don't know what to do with it. Vince has to go.
- In 2011 Zack Ryder got his self over with the crowd.
- He was then punished by management for getting over before they wanted it.
- He was put in a US title program where it was clear from day one that he would either never win or not keep it for long.
- He was put in a program with Kane where he was metaphorically buried and send back down to jobber status.
- In 2017 Rusev got his self over.
- He was punished by management because they weren't ready for him to be popular.
- He was put in a US title program where it was clear from day one that he would either never win or not keep it for long.
- He is now in a program with Taker which will include a buried alive match at the Greatest Rumble. Where he will be literally buried.
What did I say a few pages back about WWE trolling their own fans
Well Vince has said, he's in the entertainment business, not the wrestling business. He only cares about the bottom line, not the art.

What the fans want is the bottom line. Rusev t-shirts are selling like hot cakes but he refuses to listen to the fans and push him. They even dubbed over the Rusev day chants on YouTube this week with AJ Styles chants.
Most likely Roman is going to get boos no matter where he wins. The crowd is not overwhelmingly behind him. I was also expecting Roman to win at Mania cause it seemed preordained. If it was more fluid then Braun should have won the Elimination Chamber match and gotten the match with Lesnare instead. The crowd is more behind him as a face than Roman. But since it seems that as you said he's written in as the "next guy" just give him the belt whether he keeps it for 6 months or 6 days.

Once again, Vince's pettiness.
Because he wasn't the one that made them hot, he got to kill off all their heat.
He's like "oh this is who ya'll want? Ok. Here he is........and SPLAT!!!" Buries the shit out of the muthafucka.
Vince is too stubborn to realize people don't want generic ass characters being fed bullshit material to say.
"Suffering succotash" - Who the fuck says that?
Imagine if AJ and Shinsuke were allowed to do a spot like that at Mania. Then that match would have been the instant classic that people expected.
