Edge & Christian posted:Okay let's play out the Million Dollar Lineal if we assume that house shows matches count but it's only defended in singles matches and can't change hands on a DQ/countout. This went some places. So if I get access to a ring and pay Teo like fifty bucks or so to job I can become the lineal Million Dollar Champion???

quote:It's also interesting to note that in certain corners of the company, there's been some talk that Aleister Black was cut prematurely and a push that the company should bring him back in. Whether anything comes of this or not remains to be seen, but as the shock of the releases last week wears off, there's been a feeling that of everyone Black was "cut too soon" and was more the victim of broken promises and start/stop creative more than of anything that he did of his own accord. During his appearance on Renee Young's podcast, Tommy End, the former Black, stated that at one point, there was a pitch for him to be involved in the Boneyard Match to assist The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 36, which certainly would have helped position him stronger. End was announced for his first post-WWE appearance on 11/14 at the Big Event in NYC yesterday. lol if Aleister goes back immediately

"was more the victim of broken promises and start/stop creative more than of anything that he did of his own accord" is different from virtually every single other WWE release in the last 15 years, how?

My favorite thing about the lineal championship concept is how someone was interviewing Wade Barrett and brought up that he was the current lineal champion and he gave this knowing laugh like he absolutely was aware of that already.

PWInsider is reporting Braun wants at least 5 figures to appear in other promotions. He's pulling a Ryback. Which is oddly fitting since he's just as dumb as him.

I think it was sometime last year when we figured out the lineal Mayor of Knox County is one of the Singh brothers. We should follow up on that.

I think Braun can get away with high pricing himself in a way Ryback couldn't because the landscape is different and he's more talented than Ryback and probably has more outside options.

I mean, I think Braun asking that much kinda makes sense. He was very highly paid, fought a McMahon at Mania this year and was Universal champion in the last 12 months. He’s also a guy who didn’t get into the business for a love of wrestling, he was just a massive sized dude in the right place at the right time. If I was in his position I’d probably ask for the same. If he was smart enough to save his money he can probably retire and coast until he eventually gets asked back for a nostalgia pop at a Rumble in a couple years.

Braun's last two Wrestlemanias were beating Goldberg and Shane McMahon Ryback's last two Wrestlemanias were losing the ARBAR on the pre-show and then losing to Kalisto on the pre-show. There's very little laudable about any of those four matches, but in terms of how the company is positioning them/how hypothetically fans that would be drawn to an indie show to see a Big WWE Man, there's still a difference.

Knowing WWE he'll probably sit in catering for a while until they inevitably just re-insert him into the Apollo feud because every feud in this company has to run at least 13 months and 600 rematches before either person can move on.
