The Brock Thread
 

WOOOOOOOOOOO! If he didn't come back tonight I might have gone back to missing shows.

Pretty good post Mania raw.

I see A-Train being dropped or becoming a "Big Daddy V" type character.

DB needs to be prominent on Smackdown! tomorrow.

I don't see a logical way on how Rock can get the title and not show up weekly, I guess he challenges some one and loses.

Woooooo rasslin!

I am going to go out on a limb and say that I am possibly the biggest Brock Lesnar mark ever on this website. He was the reason why I re-started watching WWE after missing out on the Attitude Era and the Invasion storyline. He was the reason why I watched Smackdown. I cannot be more happy as a wrestling fan. This is a dream come true for me. I am marking the fuck out!

Fat. Glad he didn't talk.

Great RAW! While rock and Brock had a great moments, the punk and Jericho moment was truly great. And really, the thing that made it great was the insanity of the crowd. Seriously, the crowd made every moment ten times better.

A-train and Eve were the low points of the night, but everything else was top notch

Rock wins the RAW MITB case at the MITB PPV..obviously.

He's got movies to do for now. My money is on him winning the 2013 Rumble

Well we saw what happens when Brock gets off the roids and supplaments. I'm glad he's back, but he looked like a deflated balloon.

In a way it's fine. I'd rather see these guys hit the age of 50 before dying on us. But it was just kind of striking to see what these guys were doing to themselves even up until a few years ago.

that's Brock Lesnar not on steroids

he's just probably given himself some "downtime". Even with that said you couldn't really tell what shape he's in except he's not got much size (in Brock terms) on his arms rn

It's no big deal that he is slightly smaller but fuck don't come out looking like a slob. He was wearing a shirt a size too big with no tan and his pants were dragging on his shitty old gym shoes.

Despite that it was still epic but it kind of did take away from it.

Nah.

Rock is obviously winning the Royal Rumble. Cena will be champ. He will face Cena again at Mania.

Cena will win.

I was thinking that he could eventually get knocked on the head and he would snap back into A-Train...I can see WWE really doing that if this Lord Tensai doesn't go over.

I think it's a bit silly that they (apparently) aren't going to acknowledge his former character. It could easily be a footnote that he went to Japan and became so and so. It hasn't been that long has it? Surely people know who he is.

I can see Kane Knight engaging in regular masturbation after RAW episodes now that Lord Tensai is "back".

(Kane Knight had a legitimate man crush on Albert back in 2003 for those that don't kmow).

I was dying laughing at that guy

I was doing the same in my living room.

As far as A-train goes, I hope hes used right.

Brock wise, I hope that w.e ailment he has (I forget the name offhand) doesn't do him in, like it did in mma.

I can’t see it happening right away, but I can’t see them waiting a year either. SummerSlam seems perfect to me.

I lol'd at him. In the middle of doing it he took a quick look at the camera. Pretty rofl.

wonder if they had a backup plan if Lesnar didnt show up..

While Lesnar returning was great...that crowd reaction sent chills down my spine

So the concept is stars who left WWe return to beat Cena up? I like it!

How long is Angle's contract with TNA? I wouldn't be surprised if he starts stroking Vinnie Mac's grapefruits to return.

Jesus obviously has to come back..I mean, the whole stabbing thing can't be that easily forgotten..

Others
Angle, Goldberg, JBL, Rob Van Dam, Kevin Federline, Batista...

Cena isn't going anywhere near the WWE championship ever again/for a very long time.

I advise people to unlearn John Cena.

We have such huge stars hanging around in the WWE now, I'm even more surprised that people actually think Cena is still somehow "on top" or whatever than I was surprised that people thought he would beat The Rock in Miami.

John Cena = Big Fish

WWE = Little Pond

Rock = Big Ass Shark

Brock = Nuclear Submarine

Triple H is the Kraken. The Undertaker is Davy Jones. Dunno.

And let's not forget CM Punk, who is being groomed as the guy to take Cena's place after the dust settles, if and when the big boys go away forever/mostly forever. John Cena is a piece of meat that is going to be thrown to the wolves on his way out. Please understand this so that when the WWE moves on, you all go with it without confusion!

Just glad Brock wore a shirt so we didn't have to see the penis on his chest during raw

i could've gone without seeing that brock signing with wwe spoilers posted here previously, so the mark out moment was diminished by quite a bit. however, it is still awesome seeing a tiny lesnar back

fckn epic moment!!! the cena heel turn is in full effect

Yeah, but how often are people in the IWC wrong? It's a bigger spoiler when you try to catch raw later via YT, and the top videos that pop up are this exact spoiler. :(

About the "not on 'roids" thing: yeah, the MMA pic higher up the thread is how he looks off the gas, but compare that to the footage of him on his 'tron. Then compare both of those to him actually walking out. His arms were pretty flabby looking. He's still a big fucker, no doubt, but not nearly AS imposing as he used to look.

Not saying I'm not glad to see him back. Just saying, now, he kinda looked like Sandman minus beer/cig/cane.

Are we taking this as a longterm/perminant signing for Lesnar? Or will it be a slow burn/long build to a match versus Cena? If it's the latter, he has plenty of time to train.

But I'm not at all bothered about what kind of shape he is in tbh. Been a Brock mark for a loooooooong time, think it was only this past year that I did away with his skull image as my avatar. Very pleased to see him back in whatever capacity.

Agree. I didn't think he looked in shape at all - soft is a pretty fair description of how he looked. And in terms of kayfabe, he didn't need to talk, dropping Cena said it all.

I hope he still remembers how to talk on the mic for next time.

I would have to doubt that rumor about him being so late is true.

Rumour is that Brock will be making a couple of appearances per month, with more in the build to Mania.

But perhaps more interesting is the idea of Rock vs Brock as the Main Event for Mania 29.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Nah, it was pretty clear that Cena was stalling, which he did a pretty good job of. Seems like he motioned to the ramp expecting the music to hit at least a couple times before it actually did. I'm guessing someone at ringside signaled to John when Brock finally arrived

It sounds like they kept him hidden, not that he was running late. I doubt it was 11 o'clock with no one knowing where brock was and they just deciced to do the segment anyway hoping brock would show.

It'd be nothing new though. Surprise guys usually arrive late to avoid being spoiled too soon. Even WWE's official Twitter said he'd just walked about a minute before he showed up on screen

Oh for fucks sake. The 1 year build for Rock/Cena was bad enough.

Might be alright if they don't announce it for next years Mania next week and just have them do other things, although it would be a touch silly after that F5.

Man he got a huge pop, it was like when HHH returned in MSG

Awesome moment, must of watched it 5000 times on Youtube just for when his music hits

Nah, I don't think it'll be that bad. He'll essentially be on TV at least every other week, because from what I've read his deal is for AT LEAST two appearances a month. Probably gives him a chance to have another feud before the one with whoever his WM29 opponent will be.

Well, that's how I'd do it anyway

Got goosebumps watching the return. Marked out mad when the music hit, even though i'd read the spoilers. As Guru said, Brock got me back in to wrestling (and this was after Rock VS Brock). Hope we get to see a Brock VS Sheamus, Brock VS Punk and especially a Brock VS Daniel Bryan feud sometime soon.

I'm pretty excited about what Brock can do, but it does strike me as kind of odd that he's getting such a mad reception from the wrestling world when he left the company to serious contempt and derisive chants.

BROCK LESNAR has made WWE watchable. WWE has been a garbage dump ever since Brock left them but now it looks like THINGS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE because Brock is back and he is the greatest wrestler of all time.

HERE COMES THE PAIN.

I hope Brock goes on a spree, destroying Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Cena, Triple H and all other WWE losers.
Brock needs to win WWE title ASAP.

"Time heals all wounds" or some bullshit?

I'd kinda dig Brock vs HHH as we didn't really get it in his first run (sans a Triple Threat Match on an international PPV).

"wrestling fans are monstrously fickle" http://www.tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon12.gif

*except for CSL ;)

I’d love to see Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena at SummerSlam, then sometime after, have Cena pick up the title, taking it into WrestleMania. The Rock gets the match by winning the Royal Rumble, and then build the rematch with Rock pushing that he has Cena’s number. I have no reasoning to back that up, so let's just call it a hunch.

Nobody was happier than this guy, for sure

Brock's new cathphrase should be "Here comes the pizza". Guy looks like an indy wrestling fan.

Yeah, a lighter schedule in terms of non-Raw/Smackdown stuff could work considering he hated the whole road aspect of the job.

As far as storyline goes, it seems like this should be a Rock/Cena/Brock thing. Rock and Cena should have been square last night, but Rock didn't come out or come out to save Cena. There's a lot they could do with this if everyone was willing.

Rock promising to be WWE Champ again seems like he's ready to come back for a bit, maybe a 6-month stretch in the near future even and probably for next Mania.

I love this gif.

miss the Brock Lock

lesnar was awesome to watch because his athleticism was out of this fucking world. he was 295 lbs of solid muscle. he flew higher than mysterio, pulled off more impressive power moves than cena and was about as quick as angle and guerrero. i can't think of a better athlete ever. it's not even that close.

there really was no other reason to watch him. but that was reason enough.

that's the guy i saw in the titantron. and i was jacked when his music hit too.

then a fat kid came out.

he didn't jump to the apron. i don't think he can anymore. all he did was his goofy little shuffle and spike cena.

i'm feeling underwhelmed so far.

Is that Stifler?

Holy crap at people bitching about Lesnar being back. A freakish dude that really could have been the biggest Superstar of all-time (at least of the modern era) returns, after getting some "real world" credibility, and people want to bitch that he doesn't look imposing? He fucking levelled Cena and looked like he wanted to eat his liver.

The only thing I hope is that they give Paul Heyman a talent contract to return and do some speaking for Brock. The dude had some entertaining moments (Mariachi Brock springs to mind), but the dude was never fantastic on the stick. That's when Brock needs to talk -- he's fine destroying shit for right now.

It would make sense to do The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar pretty soon (not SummerSlam -- that's way too far away), and for Lesnar to beat Rocky and to use that to grind Cena's gears a bit en route to their inevitable match.

I don't understand why people are so eager to see Lesnar and Rock, when we've already seen it ten years ago when both men were in their primes. Wouldn't it be better for Lesnar to actually work with todays talent and try to get them over some more? Guys like Orton, Bryan, Ziggler, definitely Sheamus and Barrett could all really elevate themselves with a Lesnar feud.

If he is back long-term, you aren't going to fucking job him out immediately.

Never said anything about him jobbing.

This explains why Cena did not struggle or fight back at all after being lifted onto Brock's shoulders.

Just watched it again and WOWWW that pop was huge.

Amazing moment.

I see an epic Mania in New York where the Rock challenges Punk for the WWE title and Lesnar goes against Taker to snap the streak. I think a show like that would break records in terms of attendance and buyrate just off of those two matches.

Cena wins MITB. Brock wins title at Survivor Series or Rumble at latest from whoever. Rock win Rumble and challenges Lesnar at Mania. Rock wins. Cena cashes in MITB and beats Rock to win the title.

I'm not saying I like it, but come on, this is the WWE.

Also, I feel like this next Mania may be the one to have Stone Cold come back for one last match against Taker and his streak. He is the only person who I could ever see actually ending the streak.

Heh, that guy did it as if he was flashing.

Yea, they had a back up plan.

Loved how Brock kicked Cena's hat. Haha.

You guys are ridiculous for thinking that brock actually showed up at 11

This is my new avatar!

But it is already Blakeamus' avatar.

I can't say for sure how this is all going to be booked without more information/time, but what I would LIKE to see is both The Rock AND Brock Lesnar chasing CM Punk's title while feuding with each other/Punk (this is after everyone takes turns shitting on Cena). There would be fucking heat all over that and it would be epic. Lesnar beat The Rock (was actually a pretty damn good match) years ago. I don't think anyone is going to hold a Goldberg job against Rock or Lesnar. I've managed to block it out of my mind, at least.

So you have the two guys who are "the shit" going after the next top guy.

Throw Steve Austin in there somewhere. Because Punk and Austin is walking money. ESPECIALLY after this Jericho shit.

Alternatively, you could have The Rock grab the title earlier on. Not only would it hype Mania, but it'd put The Rock in a nice ugly heel spot. If the WWE champion isn't there to defend the title, I don't care who you are, you're going to get heat. Either way, I'm pretty sure Rock is going to end up with the strap for a while. The WWE champion being one of the biggest movie stars around? Yeah, no brainer.

:y: YES! YES! YES!

:n: NO! NO! NO!

Is it just me who remembers Brock for being dangerous in the ring? He dropped a number of people on their head/neck. Kennedy did 1 sloppy move to Randy Orton and he was exiled to TNA.

Now Brock is back and as much as the mark out moment was good, looking ahead is this really the best move by WWE? We've just had the Cena/Rock fued built around the fact that Rock go the chance to do movies and left WWE. At least Rock gave back to WWE what he took. Lesnar got pushed to the moon, said thanks, and left.

And now he's back as WWE thinks with Rock/Taker/HHH out of the picture they need a big name star to carry the company. It all seems very weird, is it 2001 again?

Not gonna deny, I have a bit of resentment towards Lesnar returning for this. I mean, I marked out when his music hit and it's mad exciting and all, but ultimately he let the company down after they invested so much in him. His NFL career failed so he went to MMA. I wouldn't say his MMA career failed, but I'd imagine it didn't quite pan out the way he wanted. So now he goes crawling back to WWE and is basically in a position where he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

I'm sure Lesnar would be devastated if he read my post, though. :o

I'm pretty sure Brock made the WWE a lot of money, so he doesn't owe WWE a whole hell of a lot other than an apology for that piece of shit "match" at WrestleMania XX and not doing the honors on his way out to a younger guy.

Brocj Lesnar is a HUGE name no matter how u slice it. WWE owes it to him for him to come back there. Up until his last 2 fights (one he lost, but Overeem cheated), he was the worlds greatest MMA fighter and the biggest name in MMA. The fact that he came back to the WWE shows that he respects them for starting his career. The only reason his MMA career went down was because of his disease, if he didnt get sick, he would be beating ppl up in UFC right now.

One of the greatest MMA fighters in the world lol

from an MMA site

not bad work if you can get it (and if it's true obvs)

Add in his merchandise and PPV residuals to that and it looks even better.

You'd like to think they'd capitilize on him while its new,wouldnt be suprised if we got a Brock DVD by Christmas either.

Brock Lesnar will make the WWE a lot of money. They are fools if they don't bring him back. Absolute fools.

Lesnar vs. Cena is the big match right now, and I still believe that Lesnar should beat Rock en route to that. Extreme Rules would seem ideal, but I don't know if Brock should debut at a gimmick PPV. Over the Limit seems like it would be a good place.

I don't think so Noid. A) He's already back, you need to watch Raw. B) Rock vs. Brock is a Mania match that will draw.

Rock shouldn't come back til Survivor Series. Survivor Series have Rock/Cena II for the Number 1 Contender-ship for the WWE Title. Rock wins, barely. Rock vs. WWE Champion at the Rumble. Rock defends through chamber only to be Destroyed by Lesnar after the chamber. There's your Mania match.

I know Brock is back -- I meant an official in-ring return. Although, with Punk vs. Jericho, Orton vs. Kane, Sheamus vs. Del Rio and Big Show vs. Rhodes seemingly being set-up for the event, it does leave Cena without anything to do. Could the WWE just throw us Cena vs. Lesnar at Extreme Rules? Seems unlikely. I guess there is Daniel Bryan without anything to do, either.

Lesnar vs. Bryan? That would be an absolutely amazing match, and possibly the best guy they could use to work off ring rust out of Lesnar's system. It would also make Bryan look like a million bucks just to hang with the guy, and would wash out his 18 second loss to Sheamus at Mania. Plus, it would make Sheamus himself look good for beating Bryan so quickly if Lesnar can't do it as quick (the WWE doesn't even need to state this). If the WWE are really daring, and they want to get behind this apparent Daniel Bryan machine, they could have John Cena run in and return some favours in Brock Lesnar's direction, and nail him with an Attitude Adjustment -- giving Bryan arguably the biggest win of his career.

I don't want to see Brock vs. Rock at WrestleMania. I've already seen it as SummerSlam ten years ago. Give me it at on a regular PPV; but at Mania, I want to see Lesnar do something epic.

Brock should squash that vanilla midget in 8 seconds
