Brock is back...
...out the door already?
Brock Lesnar Flips Out Backstage If this is true? I'm not surprised, he doesn't have the personality to make it in wrestling anymore. I think he thought he missed it and didn't mind making some big money for a little bit of work but he's quickly remembered why he left in the first place. Do you think he's done already? 2012: The Year of the Bullet Quote:

It's true. I don't blame him, Cena being taken out on stretcher makes much more sense than that bullshit promo.

No. They've invested too much in him to let him go already.

He had 30 appearances to make in 1 year. Hes already made like 4. If he shows up on RAW/PPVs every week he'd have fulfilled his contract by the end of September. They're gonna have to stretch it out for 6 months somehow..I doubt he's back til August when he can have a match with HHH who will have had his arm "healed" by then..

Might he have overreacted? Sure. But from the sounds of it he had every reason to be fucking pissed. In what was supposed to be the most brutal beating of Cena's life, he essentially no sold it other than being like "lol my arm hurts guys". Cena being stretchered out was supposed to balance out Brock losing, instead he beat the shit out of Cena and had nothing to show for it

Assuming this is all true, and not a work...
This is totally why I didn't really want Lesnar back to begin with. I mean, it's exciting and all, definitely no denying that, but basically 'Lesnar's Camp' sums it up right there. He's not 'one of the boys' and he doesn't really want to be there. He's there to make money, end of story. All these guys who have spent the last year or two building themselves up towards the main event have had to take a back seat to first the Rock, and now Brock Lesnar. If it's true that he's getting paid $5 million, or whatever that huge sum was that he was rumoured to be making, for just 30 appearances, then I think he should just shut the fuck up and let what happens, happen. Him talking all this shit about how 'this is why WWE is in the state it's in'... I mean, he only came back to WWE because his MMA career didn't turn out the way he wanted. Kinda feels like, at times, all his kayfabe stuff is really happening backstage. He leaves for eight years, comes back and just assumes 'I'm Brock Lesnar' so should be treated better than everyone else. |

One of the reasons Brock left the WWE in the first place was due to them changing plans at the last minute.

Maybe not necessarily "weak", but when you destroy someone and still lose and then they get up and cut a promo, how does that make you look?
Then again, if the plan for the end was to stretcher Cena out, what fucking sense does it make for him to win to begin with? I get that they needed to get Cena a big win soon, but this one just doesn't make too much sense |

And people need to quit with the 'Cena needed a big win' garbage. What, he needs a big win because one loss to the rock after a decade of Cena beating on everyone just absolutely destroyed his credibility? Christ almighty, Cena could lose every match for a year and still be a top draw. Not necessarily taking a jab at you here FS, just tired of everyones CENA HAD TO WIN logic. |

Now that I think about it, the fact that Cena won should be proof that this whole angle is a work. If Brock was so worried about himself looking weak, he would have never agreed to let Cena go over him in the first place, really. This is all probably WWE trying to screw with all the fans (myself included) who think Brock should have won the match for the sake of his credibility.
And the way Cena worded his promo at Extreme Rules made it look like he KNEW he wasn't supposed to be doing the promo. The whole bit about him saying he was gonna get sent home or get sent on vacation for this. Get real, Cena has been around long enough to know not to go off script. If he was seriously doing a shoot interview, he would not have wasted the time saying that, but he did, which instantly drew attention to the fact that he 'wasn't supposed to be saying this stuff right now'. This is exactly why the interview was a part of the script. Good shit though, should be interesting to see how they play this out without blowing it. |

so does brock have no credibility if he's not beating everyone and eating their faces off? the same way that cena has no credibility if he loses?
...wait, but you just said cena does still have credibility if he loses... so it's fine that brock lost, right? wait, no? ... i don't understand the bitching. my guess is something happened you didn't like, and you feel like complaining that what you wanted is the way it's supposed to be. but then again, fatty can go home for all i care. |

And I don't really mean Cena needed a big win because he was on some sort of insane losing streak, but because they've been making him look like a bit of a bitch the last few months. So unless it was all leading to an eventual turn (which it seems will never happen), he kinda needed it to....well, look like less of a bitch |

While this mess doesn't kill Lesnar's return, it definitely would have been better for everyone if they stuck to the plan.

I agree. I think what they've done is piss off a guy who already is volatile and doesn't need to come back and work for them. They could still have a big storyline but they've just made one of the key players much harder to work with. |

Johnny L. is becoming more and more like Eric Bishoff every night.
John Cena is terrible. Lesnar should never speak into a live microphone. |

Neither man here is in a position where looking strong or weak will have any major effect. They're both 'on that level'. Cena's promo didn't make him or Lesnar look any stronger or weaker than they were in the match itself. But ultimately, the whole crowd cheered for Cena after his promo, so Lesnar may have lost, but looks like a monster for destroying Cena throughout the entire match, Cena got a win, which didn't prove anything anyway, but with that promo, he has proven that he can win over a crowd, and if WWE won't turn him heel, then hopefully this is the first step in winning over the audience who dislike him.

I admit, as someone who hated Cena when he was totally undefeated, I am rooting for him in this feud because Brock is so unlikeable (as a person, hes a great wrestler/fighter)

Brock is a softie. He's probably normal, a little bit different maybe, but I don't think he's the heel that he wants everyone to see.

If they are changing plans to fuck with him then I don't blame him one bit. From his point of view that would look like they are just going to shit on him because he left in 2004 and now they get some payback.
Think of how everyone used to bitch so much about the Montreal screwjob. Not exactly the same thing, but basically, WWE changing plans at the last minute to shit on a talent without their knowledge. With that being said, definite work. WWE would not have had the segment with him destroying HHH if this was in the least true. They would have had a segment saying Brock was all pissy about losing to Cena and no one knows where he is, and they would use him 'no-showing' as the reason for HHH rejecting his 'updated' contract. They are more or less playing this as another storyline where they are breaking kayfabe, ala CM Punk last year. |

THIS IS ALL JOHN LAURINITIS'S FAULT!
John told Brock he could attack any official he wanted to! He also said he might pay him more because of it! HHH told him he cant and he snapped! BUT THIS IS JOHNS FAULT! |

I guess we'll wait to see how many PPV buys Extreme Rules got. If it's business as usual, they can blame it on The Miz again.

Vince might have told Cena to say the promo and say that he wasn't supposed to just so vince could say "Hey" i didnt tell him to do that"Yeah but I myself would not watch unless him or Rock is on that night.

Well I doubt Brock can just walk out of a contract. I dont understand why Cena gave that promo ..what was the point of it? He didnt leave. He's going to wrestle at the next ppv.
So it'd make more sense if he was carried out on a stretcher. |

Brock's return did make a lot of commotion. The beating he gave Cena was new and refreshing for the new fans. He does bring excitement to the product.
The WWE should try to keep him happy. He is a precious commodity and should be treated as such. |

If the buyrate is low, it's because Daniel Bryan dragged it down like he's been dragging down Smackdown's ratings for the past year (1.72 rating past week).
