Chicago fans pissed at Brock/Kane match tonight

[John Reena]

Imagine watching Braun have 2 classics vs BIG SHOW last year then watching Brock look like shyt in the meantime.

Brock is booked as a dominant champ who squashes strong characters.

He been booked liked this since he came from OVW.

Ion know why y’all acting like this is something “new”.

More like the anti-smarks don't want to pay to see choreographed mighty morphin power ranger style fight gymnastics and prefer their fake fighting to at least resemble something like they grew up on telling a story

Flippy wrestling has the potential tell a story every bit as much as some slow-paced cowbell match from the Crockett era could. It's just a different story.

People overstate this "telling a story" shyt because salty old grizzled vets say it all the time in shoot interviews so it becomes canon. As if wrestling "back then" was some bastion of narrative performance art. Mostly it was actually just some big fat white guy yelling incoherently at some big oiled up bodybuilder and then them lazily throwing unconvincing punches and mat-stomping kicks at each other until one of them fell down. And then the referee is distracted at the exact right moment for someone to be blinded by talcolm powder, but it's ok because if they beat him down long enough, his invincibility perk kicks in. Because ultra-realism is what we're going for damnit. Not like this choreographed shyt nowadays.

Probably all about trying to get people to hate Brock to get Roman cheered

1. He's an attraction, modern day Andre the Giant, supposed to use sparingly...not a workrate guy
2. it was untelevised so no need to risk injury to a performer they need healthy for WM
3. they used the name to draw the fans there and had him squash his opponent the way WCW did with goldberg
4. it's Kane..nuff said

fukk outta here

Said the same thing last week. I think they're just leaning into this time around

 

[MushroomX]

Expect a 35min Puro match between Brock Lesnar / Mayor Glen Jacobs brehs.

They want him to get wm 20 reaction

And reigns to get a hogan wrestlemania 18 reaction

 

[HipHopStan]

That's my (hopefully future) Mayor.

 

[Rell Lauren]

He did the same at MSG last year against Kevin Owens. Lesnar is lazy and Kane is a fat, out of shape has been. This match shouldnt have been booked.

What surprised me more is that the WWE went to the United Center instead of dumpy Allstate. They're so cheap.

 

[Da King]

Marks expecting a 60 minute draw

 

[Bob-omb]

Why is Kane even on the card in 2018

Why is Kane even on the card in 2018

Because besides Draw Lesnar, Kane is the biggest name on the card, no one paying a ticket to see Hornswoggle XL

 

[NYChase718]

Thats the full match

He’s the champion, advertised at the very top of the bill. Andre was champion for less than the duration of the Brock/Kane match. Andre was midcard while Bruno/Hogan/Savage delivered in the main. Brock has wrestled over 10 mins once since 2015.

When Hogan/Bruno/Backlund/Savage were champs, it was very common for them to have their match in the middle of the show so they could leave sooner. This happened quite a bit during Austin's first reign as well.

 

[RammerJammer]

at all the sheep in here trying to rationalize this garbage. He had house show matches with good opponents like Sheamus and Rusev that he half assed too.

Then you got posters in here saying that fans wanted Brock to have Omega/Okada part III which not one wrestling fan has said, in fact, most fans praised the 5 minute Goldberg/Lesnar match at Mania, including myself.
