The fact that Cain Velasquez debuted in WWE shows how out of touch they are

[Potential Spam]

Debut this guy at the end of the your show and act like he is a big star, brehs.

Was embarrassing.

I dont even hate Cain like that — I know the name cuz of his bout with Brock long ago, but I thought it was a cueballed Dom Mysterio. If he showed up at like 9:50 and cost Lesnar the match, then cool, but to make him come out after the match like TNA ain’t make this same mistake with Tito Ortiz?

I hated the way kofi lost as much as anybody but lets not act like cain hasnt been a hot commodity that every wrestling company was trying to acquire after his AAA match, aew would have paraded him the same way and he'd constantly be described as the guy who beat brock

 

[thaKEAF]

shyt was wack. I don’t care if he beat up Brock in UFC he looks flabby as fukk.

I'm interested in the Brock/Cain stuff...but it didn't need the fukking World Title.

They did Kofi dirty.

MMA acts are like the one thing WWE does well. It's a great pick up from WWE.

But apparently they're blowing the match at Sunnislam. What a fukking waste

For those who feel like OP is right, and also think that AEW is the future.

"He's definitely somebody that I am keeping an eye on. Cain was one of those athletes - it's not even an athlete thing, it's almost a strange, natural ability to pick up our industry," Cody said. "He picked it up so quick and he wasn't doing mixed martial arts Cain Velasquez, he was trying to do true lucha. And he had worked with Psycho Clown who, Psycho Clown, if you haven't caught him, is just amazing. What a stud!

"So, I was blown away by Cain Velasquez. I would love to bring that tandem and that tag back to All Elite Wrestling. I'm glad to hear he like what we're doing; I like what he's done with AAA., I continue to monitor it," Cody added. "And that might be something you see as a personal project for me if and when Cain would like to come play ball with us. I'd be down. There's something special- I mean, the man is a former UFC Heavyweight Champ, a nice guy, represents a whole part of the world, just a special human being. I think he'd be a great fit to our family

I respect the hell out of Cain, but he's a prime example of why WWE is different than MMA. In real life, I'm happy to see unassuming guys like him and Anderson Silva whip people's ass, but wrestling has always been over the top comic book style fighting to me. That's what makes it fun! Trying to be a scripted version of MMA is a mistake imo, stick to your strengths and what you can do differently.

The Belt being involved is what makes them look out of touch.

Cain walks in off the street wins the world title and . .. ?

Brock wins again and . ... ?

Two big monsters getting into a fist fight is a formula that will always sell itself.


Cain sticking up for the Legend in Rey Mysterio is all they needed to do as far as the story.

Brock was bullying the fam, so I’m coming to hit you where it hurts.

You like that title so much, cool. .. I’ll roll up and cost you your belt and steal your spotlight

... come do something about it.


The belt will look cool on the poster and the info graphics no doubt but it’s kind of a prop in this encounter. You never want your title being a prop.

Facts.

Dude gave a good account of himself at Triplemania - pulled out some flippy shyt too.

Wait, did they for real rip off that TNA angle?

For those who feel like OP is completely serious:

Debuting this guy at the end of the your show and act like he is a big star brehs.

Was embarrassing.

I dont even hate Swagger like that. So if he showed up at like 830 or 9 then cool, but to make him come out at the end like he is a somebody is a fukking joke.

Straight parody.



shyt was handled terribly though, as the title does not need to be involved. If Cain wins, who the hell is gonna dethrone him? Logically, he’d get the same booking as Brock and Ronda or better, right? They could do somethin’ mad goofy and have him give it to Rey after. If Brock wins? More of the same — and I like Brock.

I didn't like the way Kofi was treated, he seemed like a real jobber, it didn't have to be like that, even if he got dominated but showed some heart fine but he got treated like a ref or some shyt. No problem with Cain though, he's legit and there's a ready made story there, I actually like how they built it up with the Rey assault and then Cain coming through to help, I just don't think it was necessary for Kofi to be a casualty in that. I don't see why that feud needs the title on the line.

That's how his body has always looked and he was a 2 time UFC Champion and would kill the entire roster in an actual fight.
He's retired now so maybe he can "change his diet" to look better for people who think you need to look completely shredded to be able to fight
