(04-08-2014, 06:39 PM)Easy Said: Nobody knows what they have planned for Brock, and given that promo Paul Heyman gave on Raw, I'd say they gave it to the right guys. Heyman is the best manager in the game, bar none, and Lesnar is a beast. Give it to a young guy and you run the risk of them bailing or getting a career ending injury. Also, I'm curious how Brock Lesnar is a horrible athlete when he's a D1 champ, held the UFC title for the longest reign in history, and probably would have continued to dominate had he not gone down with diverticulitis. Don't think about the streak ending under Brock, think about it like a 6 farewell to the Streak. HBK's matches, HHH's matches, and Punk's match (one of my favorites) were all a part of this long farewell celebration to the WM moments we always cherished.

Oh and that idea of having like 20 guys come to the ring and each give him the finisher, that sounds like horrible television. After 8 guys doing their finish, you'd still have to sit through like 8 or 9 more. lol sorry to say so, but if the match had been better, I don't think yall would have cared that it was Brock.

I don't feel like logging in as swagz right now. Yeah, he won championships, but the broncos went to the Superbowl this year. They were terrible athletes then. I am not a wrestling fan, don't watch it, but I know some stuff, mostly from here and a guy I used to work with who would call out of work for all the ppvs. I did, however, watch a few of Lesnar's matches in the UFC. Now, for that to be worth it the fights had to be entertaining, and for the most part they weren't. He looked more like an animated punching bag for most of them imo, and I actually got so bored I wanted to watch paint dry. Judging on how people react to Lesnar here, I'd say going from one sport back to the other hasn't changed that feeling. Now, you bring up his Diverticulitis, do you really know what that is? Because it's pretty common, and is usually not serious. Maybe he did get a real serious case, and maybe he just quit because of how bland he was and people knew it. To be good at sports entertainment you have to entertain.


And just an example of a good athlete, Rich Peverly. He had heart surgery missed 3 weeks, came back, collapsed during a game, got resuscitated and begged to be put back in. Heart problems outweigh diverticulitis, and he didn't quit.

But again, just my opinion.
