Me, having deep thoughts while watching this match: "Which one of these guys is wasted potential, and which one had no potential to begin with?"

Cass has no personality whatsoever and should have threatened to quit rather than breakup because he ain't gonna get any loving traction with this, and is gonna be gone by October anyway because of it.

It's crazy how he completely hosed up his life to the point he was a kind of pathetic joke, then he turned it all around and has become beloved again through sheer creative force of will.

It's also crazy how we all know the dude is extremely creative and good but absolutely none of that is being made manifest right now.

A dark dark time in wwe history.

Actually, main event Miz was good. It was unfortunate that we only got to see this when the rest of the main event scene was a smoldering crater, but it still got us this:

Brock easily lifting Joe from that position was pretty cool at least

As much as that match was loving ruined by that ending, Brock is still a loving freak of nature and amazed me a few times. He can do so much more than this busted rear end gimmick.

Brock's matches still a) have a big fight feel and b) have a sense of unpredictability to them (at least for me)

If only they happened more than twice a loving year.

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.

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.

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.

Be that as may, one note is still better than the musical equivalent of Roman Reigns, which is the sound of two cats loving three cats.

That's only BECAUSE Brock rarely shows up. Here's the thing. Roman is arguably bad for the product, but Brock, who has been poo poo largely because he doesn't care and admittedly because The Ballad of Brock and Roman hasn't finished to Vince's satisfaction yet, is holding half of the entire product hostage and weighing it down. Raw, in essence, has no top title.

I can't wait for Brock to vanish forever.

Here's the ultimate problem: Brock is very good at what WWE (and he, presumably) wants him to do, but what they want him to do is dogshit and bad for the product.

Roman, meanwhile, is terrible at what WWE wants him to do and what they want him to do is dogshit and also bad for the product.

Lesnar has at least the potential to be great, and we see flashes of it whenever he decides to do something that isn't a german suplex. There is always the chance that at least something cool might happen in a Brock match.

Roman is always going to be Roman. There's no upside. There's no potential. It's shameful backs all the way down. Any unpredictable cool spot ain't coming from Roman.

No but see HE'S THE BEST TALKER IN THE COMPANY.

Paul Heyman on his worst night puts more emphasis and vitriol into his promos than like half the loving roster on both shows. You know this, man. He's phoning it in, but in sheer ability he is definitely the best talker in the company even if he's underutilizing it.

A dude who has the ability to be great but currently isn't because of lovely booking is still a better talker than somebody who is just flat out bad, like Roman Sufferin' Succotash Reigns.
