Everyone's gonna tune in for that Nak vs Balor match. Is it going to top Sami vs Nak? Lesnar fighting tonight too? Damn, pro wrestling is on fire!! If Lesnar lose, how much stock is going to fall for Lesnar?
Zero. I think most fight fans are expecting him to lose. Hunt is a banger and Brock does not like getting hit. The real question is how much does it rise with a win?
If Brock loses his UFC fight, he will be booked to win against Orton. If Brock wins his UFC fight, I think Orton will be put over. Maybe by a reverse counter from F-5 to a RKO.
I don't see Brock losing to Orton in either scenario. The RKO-F5 counter I'm sure we'll see, but Brock will kick out of it. He's the only one to kick out of Dean's finish which is protected a hell of a lot more than the RKO. I'd love to see the punt brought back this one time though. Brock seemed on cloud 9 to be back in ufc though, and I'd be sweating a full time return if/when his wwe contract is up. No wwe travel schedule, actual violence, bigger paychecks.
Orton beating Brock makes WWE look superior to UFC that said I'm burnt out on RKO's, I hope Lesnar destroys him.
Brock pretty much works a UFC schedule, only fights like 5x a year at most, other 20 just for Raw/Smackdown appearances, maybe a house show in here and there, and gets paid 6 mil/year http://www.forbes.com/pictures/emdm45emmde/2-brock-lesnar/#4bcdbb064d1b
Also Brock should realize his earning potential is a lot more if he continues working for WWE and fighting the random fight here and there for UFC. It's legitimately a win-win-win for all three parties involved. Supposedly Brock doesn't care too much about that. In reality everyone cares about that though.
I haven't' been a fan of WWE / Wrestling in general since the days of NWO / The Rock. Diesel. Shawn Michaels. DX. Austin. etc 12-13 years I would say. What is up with ESPN all of a sudden acting like this is a real sport? I hear them commentating on athletes like it's not all fixed & WWE isn't setting the next star up.
ESPN made a deal with WWE to have weekly reports, ESPN was trying to get more viewers since they were on the downside As far as setting up the next star, they are trying to throw Roman Reigns down our throats, but after house shows attendance has been bad with him as champion, they took it off him, while getting suspended for the Wellness Program. It's not a bad time to pick it up again with the new stars in the past year, and soon to be call ups from NXT, should be fun to watch.
According to Metz, who is assuming Brock gets some of the ppv shares, he will have made 6 mil off UFC 200 alone. So not bigger paychecks, but equal paycheck for a lot less time away from his Saskatchewan compound. Even if it only compares to the 10 or so times we see him in wwe.
"NOT THE MAN. NOT THE GUY. THE SUSPENDED GUY" SETH FREAKIN' ROLLINS this would be my top 20 draft board 1. SETH ROLLINS 2. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA 3. AJ STYLES 4. BROCK LESNAR 5. CESARO 6. SAMI ZAYN 7. ENZO & CASS 8. NEW DAY 9. KEVIN OWENS 10. SASHA BANKS 11. FINN BALOR 12. SAMOA JOE 13. DEAN AMBROSE 14. ALBERTO DEL RIO 15. AMERICAN ALPHA 16. BAYLEY 17. RUSEV 18. NEVILLE 19. CHARLOTTE 20. BARON CORBIN
Raw hasn't been that entertaining as a whole because of the long layover til Battleground, but there's always a few golden goodies per episode. Seth's Rollins Report was outstanding, like in an old school Kurt Angle sort of way. I don't know if they're trying to drum up sympathy for Reigns or letting Rollins expand his character on his own terms but the labels "suspended guy" and asterisk next to Reigns' champion label were amazing little nods. And then that was eclipsed by how good of a promo Dean gave about fighting his way to the top spot, and how he was the backbone of the company. Definitely excited for the draft, the part timers is what really messes up my board. Is Nakamura signed up for the rigorous wwe schedule or is he on a Brock type deal?
Bottom 20 draft board (in no particular order) Lol :grin: 1. Roman Reigns 2. John Cena 3. Nikki Bella 4. Brie Bella 5. Jack Swagger 6. Elias Samson 7. The Miz 8. Dana Brooke 9. Sin Cara 10. Darren Young 11. Braun Strowman 12. Summer Rae 13. Social Outcasts 14. The Usos 15. Breezango 16. Hype Bros 17. The Shining Stars 18. Eva Marie 19. Mandy Rose 20. Michael Cole
How the hell are the Shining Stars there? How many chances do those 2 guys get before they realise that they are just not gonna get over. Bring Carlito back with them, and then maybe.
