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.
