Should they have had brock look weak last night?

[Big Vic]

What is your opinion?

[Heisenberg]

He splattered Jamie Noble all over the guardrail last night before getting jumped by the other three so I didn't see a problem with it. Made me want to see Kane v.s. Lesnar more than anything

[#BROKEN Hasney]

He should have been crying that he can't make friends while Paul keeps telling him that he's his friend.

[drave]

He didn't look weak. It was 4v1 and he still held his own for a few. They have to add some kinda "he might lose" feelings in there to make things more interesting to the casual viewer.

[Big Vic]

I feel like they should have focused on the leg more than they did if they wanted Brock to be down and out. The dude survived 4 FUs and a Curb stomp and now he's being taken out by a choke slam and a Pedigree.

Joey laying a beating on him looked odd as well.

[slik]

I kind of wish he didn't get taken out by old ass Kane. I donut know how I feel about it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The story there was just that if Rollins can somehow get The Authority back on his side, he could have a chance of retaining at Battleground. There's nothing wrong with that. Don't overthink it.

[drave]

The suspension of disbelief still plays a small role here. Kinda like Reigns beat Wyatt in addition to two other people a few weeks ago. Now he is in an angle with Wyatt. Logic would dictate that he steamrolls Wyatt if he is 1v1 and "fresh". But this is wrasslin, so stop it.

I understand the story, it just wasn't executed well.

[Wishbone]

Eh, I didn't really like it but that had more to do with who they had beating him down. After all the crap they've shoveled on Kane and J&J I just can't buy any of those three even denting Brock. Kane should not have looked that good against Brock Lesnar after having trouble with guys like Dolph Ziggler over the last few months.

[Emperor Smeat]

He didn't look super weak but at the same time it did show that the Authority desperately needs more guys to be legit as a threat. Kane and J&J Security are barely seen as a threat these days while Rollins just got finished being made to look as an actual threat from his Ambrose feud.

WWE booked themselves in a corner with this feud. Either they toss out everything from the Ambrose feud that lead to Rollins finally being seen as a legit threat on his own or once again have to downgrade Lesnar to make his opponent look better like his feud with Cena post-SS match.

[KIRA]

I know for dramatic purposes they have to downgrade Brock but its so weird seeing a guy who was booked like an unstoppable machine up till now being taken out by Kane and co.

[TheTerminator]

No, it was stupid booking.

[#1-norm-fan]

Once a guy turns face they have to start making him look vulnerable. No matter if it fits his character or not. It's very generic and lazy but that's the way it is nowadays.

If Rollins had actually been booked well, people would pay to see Lesnar murder him and that would be enough to sell the PPV. Since Rollins has gotten his comeuppance repeatedly already though, it's not as big of a selling point. So instead they're gonna try to sell it on the match being somewhat even because of The Authority and Lesnar's gonna look "human" because of it.

[Tom Guycott]

I didn't have a problem with it, because it wasn't like he got instantly killed because he's now a face. It wasn't like Rollins went toe to toe with him alone and knocked him out with a forearm shot. It still took "3" guys (which I'm sure should have been 4 if Jamie didn't get legit hurt), and it took them about 10 minutes, two chokeslams, multiple chop blocks, a chair, and a Pedigree to even get him to resist still killing them all in spite of the numbers game.

"Looking weak" isn't what happened here. It was adding belief of doubt. I go back to how Daniel Bryan was handled during his actual push as opposed to CM Punk as champion during his legendary length run. Bryan didn't look weak; he was holding his own until he started getting the inevitable screwing that was going to prevent him from actually winning, and even then, he still looked at times as if he could still pull it out. Punk did look weak, because he kept having (albeit non title) matches and kept losing. Clean. Sure, he still "won when it counts", but it still looks bad when you're supposed to be the be all end all, and can't get it done in singles matches with guys down the card.

Brock was on the DB end of that spectrum. One jumping doesn't suddenly diminish his badassery.

[Big Vic]

Yeah but almost a year ago Brock was brushing off FUs and Curb Stomps, now he is down and out from a chokeslam.

should have focused more attention on his knee after the chair spot instead of just beating him down regularly.

:roll::roll::roll::roll::eyeroll:

[Big Vic]

:?:

[drave]

It is pro wrasslin - stop it.

[Big Vic]

A story is a story. I am a fan of stories that make sense.

[drave]

All the more reason to stop it then.

[Blonde Moment]

Hopefully next week Brock goes on a rampage

[Black Widow]

The same guy that ended the streak/ran through Cena can't handle 2 shrimps and a over the hill Kane.

[Big Vic]

Is Seth Rollins a shrimp? Or is Noble a Shrimp? I would say Noble was handled.

[Black Widow]

I'm sure most would consider Rollins that when compared to Brock.

[The Rogerer]

Zip it shrimpy

[ron the dial]

some of y'all need to take a step back and chill

[Big Vic]

I'm sure most would consider Rollins that when compared to Brock.
lol 90% of the roster is.
