I've mentioned it before but I feel like Brock has probably contractually filled out all his dates for the year already and can easily just duck out after Summerslam while Vince desperately offers him loads of money to show up once or twice between Summerslam and Mania.

Brock and WWE have a mutual extension on the deal for the next two years. I have no idea why they wouldn't come together for at least that time. Brock could easily lose at Summerslam, prep for his fight with Jones in December or early January, then come back for Rumble season. Or, the MMA talk is just pressuring Vince for more cash.

Pretty sure he wouldn't have reentered the USADA testing pool as a bluff

Someone in UFC did, which just makes me think it's happening more UFC loves to lie, especially when it's about a scoop and especially when it involves Brock (see: last time someone broke the news he was coming back, they said he wasn't, and their next event they announced he totally was)

I also wouldn't doubt at all that he's serious about returning to UFC at some point, so he needs to re-enter the pool, but either way, if he wants them as leverage in negotiations he had to do it.

I like Kendrick's finisher it looks like he's wrenching the gently caress out of the dude's neck and last I checked, having your neck wrenched hurts.

Chris James 2 posted:Someone in UFC did, which just makes me think it's happening more He broke it about an hour before UFC showed Brock coming back as part of a PPV package UFC retaliated by throwing him out of the PPV he was reporting at with his camera woman and editor, and banning the reporter for life Which ended up being a few days after UFC got shat on by the media. Saif reporter also works for Showtime and got told during the start of Conor/Floyd that he was being taken off because Dana White demanded it

It is also literally the same move as Sasha's finish. Like, I have no idea if there's supposed to be a difference because I sure as gently caress can't tell.

Sasha's is a bridging crossface (but she doesn't always do the bridge), Kendrick's is just a sleeper hold on the ground.

Venomous posted:Honestly, if I were Bayley right now, I'd be petitioning hard to Vince to let her go back down to NXT where she was well written and not used badly. Same with Finn. I'm pretty sure Finn at this point just takes his paychecks and pretends he's someone's admin assistant when the other wrestlers get recognized outside of the show.

It would matter if WWE had any competition at all, but you can just look at someone like Cody to realize how little WWE booking can damage your drawing power on the indies

The general opinion of WWE management is so low that nobody really holds lovely fed booking against anyone when they leave.

There have been multiple interviews with different ex-WWE guys that have said out right, "Yeah, I wish I was booked better but I walked away with a large amount of cash." That is why guys like Curt Hawkins and Drew Mac come back. The paycheck is really nice.
