Against anyone else I'd be satisfied with Joe finally looking like a million bucks. But against Brock, what does that even loving matter? He still didn't beat him, which means he is literally everyone else on the roster.

Yeah if this exact match had been Joe vs Rollins and it was Rollins' standard offense instead of suplex city, I'm pretty sure it would have gone over way better.

Yeah please put Brock out to pasture now, thanks. He's bad for the company and he can't seem to transition from the 3-year-old Suplex City gimmick.Having him beat Joe just makes no sense; Joe looks like a killer going into this and now he's just another guy who Paul Heyman gets to bitch about to shore up a 40 year old man.

Someone please tell me how Brock's matches aren't 90% lazy as gently caress, 10% squash/spectacle at this point, it's literally the same thing Roman does and yet lots of people whine about Roman and jizz themselves over Brock.

here's my white hot take: i like roman more than brock now

brock is boring, i agree. roman as a concept is insulting.

Roman is at least there. He at least has a shitload of matches. He has different matches with different guys, even though he has a formula. Brock is boring, lazy, has a top title, only shows up about 4 times a year, and it's the same poo poo every time.

I mean if you really need to be told the difference: Brock is a freak specimen and even his lovely, boring matches usually feature some kind of mind-boggling moment of physicality. Roman Reigns, by contrast, is a shitbird idiot who can't have somebody roll on to his goddamn shoulders for the world's worst Samoan drop without his knees buckling.

Brock also brings Paul Heyman with him, who is the best promo in the biz, whereas Roman is godawful on the mic.

Brock is bad for the product but we seem him twice a year, Roman is godawful but we see it-- and are reminded of it-- constantly.

The PPV was good! It really was.



But Brock Lesnar is hurting the product, and if they think ratings are going to spike up because "some random dude made him sweat a little bit" then holy poo poo, I'd love to be an executive for the company. I've got plenty of other revolutionary ideas. Such as "Let's actually not have a show and go home."

I'm no fan of absentee champions either, I don't like him in the position

that said letting great wrestlers get loving lost in the shuffle would still be a problem without lesnar too

I mean tonight we had the best candidate for a Roman heel turn we've seen yet so things might shake up.

So did every single match go to the heels? I guess I can kinda understand that on a tv episode, but it seems like you should have some faces win at the ppv's.

Paul Heyman, much like Brock, has all the ABILITY to put on all-time classics but has been a lazy, one-note hack for years.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
Reminder that in order to face Brock, Samoa Joe had to outlast four other competitors in last months main event.

Also Heath Slater was the only face the on on the Pay per view and it wasn't shown

The point is: burial or not, Joe lost and now what does he do?

Logic would suggest that he shows up and spooks Brock (and especially Heyman given those worried back-looks), and maybe a re-match?

Yeah but dude you get that Brock's matches are like that so Roman will look SO COOL AND STRONG AND BIG DOG AND YARD when he lasts more than five minutes with Lesnar, right? Brock murdered Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose and Samoa Joe and Goldberg but -- my god -- he's suplexing Roman and ROMAN IS LAUGHING?! HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY BE LAUGHING?!

It's all part of the same problem like it has been for over two years now.

Brock's sprint matches are hilarious. I think Joe looked about as good as expected there. Brock vs. Braun is THE money match now and it's going to rule.

That's an odd way to spell "Brock vs Roman II," the main event of Summerslam and battle for our hearts

I agree and I've been saying this for months but Roman still does more for me than Brock in July 2017 and has for a while.
