Is Brock Lesnar ruining the Main Event scene?

[Maluco]

Brock is box office. He brings the reality factor and is a genuine badass. He is also the biggest star they have. He has been forced to be a party in this Reigns farce and it has tainted everyone and every event associated with it.

Give him a proper program with AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan and then judge him. Honestly, speaking as a casual these days, he was what I always tuned in for, up until Reigns, of course

You tune in for Reigns or was that sarcasm?

Sorry, probably didn't put that very well. I only watched the events Brock was on for a long time. It was when he got involved with Reigns that I lost interest in him too

Is there much of a point to having a reality factor in a worked "sport"? Great, he won stuff in ufc which was real, how does that help wwe which everyone and their dog knows is fake? As for him being box office, considering his last few matches consisting of the same handful of moves between 2 competitors over and over, i'd imagine his box office attraction as far as wwe is concerned is starting to wane.

His matches with reigns are basically carbon copies of his last goldberg match, both of them trying for their "big moves" right out of the gate and for the most part just repeating them numerous times with nothing inbetween.

It absolutely does matter. If you're not going to buy into the action, even if you know it's "drama," then how can they expect any emotional investment? What is the point of self-aware wrestling?

Brock Lesnar is amazing. He doesn't sell for everyone because he understands that not everybody is worth selling for. He is one of the last people who understands that some people stand tall because they are standing on others. When he's with someone worth it, he puts in amazing effort and has a classic match. The WWE just don't have many of those, because those sorts of people are going into different lines of work. It's the wrestling scene, and WWE has helped cultivate it.
