    Actually Brock is a big draw for the company. I was just actually reading a report online saying the die hard fans may not be happy, but with recent declines in raw and smack down Brock will bring people to view the show. If you tell someone who’s not real into the wwe that Kofi is going to have a match tonight, they’re honestly going to reply with who’s that? You tell them Brock is going to have a match, they’re going to be like I may have to watch that. I’m curious if they have Brock take the belt from Kofi. I’d rather see Orton beat Kofi. And Brock beat Rollins. Both would see an increase in views. Smack downs views going down ever since Kofi was champ. I still don’t get why some of you guys love him but hate Brock? Like it or not, Brock will be champion again soon. And Kofi being champion proves he isn’t doing s--- that’s giving smack down a boost in ratings. The opposite actually.

    I don't have a problem with Brock Lesnar, it's just typically (not always) the MITB is used to move a superstar to the main event level, there's no reason he needed that. It's whatever though, this is the first time I've watched since the Raw after Mania. Canceled my Network subscription a few weeks ago but it doesn't actually end until the 28th so I figured I'd catch the show. Only thing I didn't really like was the ending.

    I enjoyed the PPV, AJ/Rollins was great and the match of the night, although the men's MITB match was close and really good too. I'm fine with Brock winning cuz I wasn't too interested in any of the other guys winning it tbh, although the match itself was real good and better than I expected. Plus I'm glad Brock and Heyman are back..

    The rest wasn't great but the women's MITB was pretty good although sloppy, Becky/Charlotte and Kofi KO were pretty good too.

    d--- near impossible to see Brock losing a cash in attempt, I'd be shocked..so yeah he's gonna be champ again, probably fairly soon..any chance they do it on raw tomorrow? I dunno, kinda doubt it but seems possible..then again is Brock scheduled to be at the Saudi Arabia PPV? Maybe Heyman comes out tomorrow talking bout how he hears it's supposed to be bigger than Mania etc and that will only be the case if his client is there etc etc etc....anyways I dunno maybe Rollins already has a match at the Saudi Arabia show, I dont remember..

    False. Brock is the biggest name and draw they currently have. Just google the ratings when Brock is scheduled to appear. You’re being delusional lol WWE has to do what’s best for business and ratings. They let Kofi be champ to see how it works out, and just look at the ratings dropping weekly. Take the belt off him already.

    Wouldn't say that Brock is the biggest draw out right now. It was Kofi for like a few weeks. But now, I really don't have a clue.

    Owen Hart died 20 years ago today, were any of you watching that PPV live? I was and remember it all too well..

    Started out as just being confused as to why they were showing extended shots of the crowd and seemingly stalling, then eventually WWF just went to the next match, said something about a situation with Owen and said they'd update us later. Then with 2 matches left, they announced he had died..I was watching it with my dad who talked about how they should end the show, give refunds etc..I wasn't sure what the right thing to do was, I remember wondering what Owen would want..I did find it in poor taste that a casket match was up next, but realistically that was planned in advance so not sure what they could've done there.

    Found out later the crowd never even knew it that night, or at least never got it confirmed...then again they saw the incident happen so they likely knew it was very serious, potentially fatal. Credit to Owen for being a hero even while literally falling to his death, yelled at a referee to move out the way as he fell, possibly saving his life...

    *edit*

    never even knew this part till today, d---...

    There was supposed to be a Mission: Impossible-style joke where Owen would be lowered almost all the way into the ring, but then get “tangled up” and fall a short distance onto his face. He’d done a similar stunt before Survivor Series. This time something went wrong, and Hart fell 78 feet onto the top rope.

    Okay I’ll take you off my list, since you apologized. And I was doing the list thing before Chris Jericho. He pretty much stole my idea. Think he mentioned me subliminally in one of Stone Colds podcast about getting that idea.

    I understand big wrestling fans tired of Brock. They should have younger guys win MITB to cash in and a chance to break out into a big star. It’s just with the guys this year in it, I didn’t see any star potential. Some video I was watching on YouTube, said Ali was supposed to win it then was told at the last minute Brock was going to win. I guess Brock injured Ali pushing the ladder away and potentially giving him a concussion. And Brock also hurt 1 or 2 camera men with the ladders lmao. The one actually needed medical attention. I guess Vince and Brock got into a heated feud once he walked backstage, after the match.

    Ricochet/Ali/Andrade all have loads of potential. Putting it on Brock solves nothing. They got a slight post PPV push, but it's far from good.

    However, seeing Brock on Raw made me realize not even the WWE can screw up his aura or legitimacy, he comes off as the biggest star by default.

    What makes her bad in your opinion?

    She's better than Becky and 2/3 of the women's division

    Wtf has she even done so far on the main roster? I don’t know if she was great in NXT or anything but since she was called up she just interrupted matches and had like one match.

    How can she be better than Alexa, Banks, Charlotte, Becky and a couple others just based off that?? Those other 4 have been in a lot of great feuds/matches/moments over the years.

    she was great in the mae young classic 2 years ago and she was great in NXT

    I agree she hasn't done much on the main roster, but given more time I think she can be in the conversation, but imo everyone you just mentioned is overrated besides Alexa.

    I love Becky but lately, she has gotten lazy and her character is getting stale.
