Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

Re: Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

The problem now goes thusly:

Brock has just been handed the role of the biggest monster heel in the history of the WWE. He broke tStreak, that's all that needs to be said. That's a terrific role for him IF THEY USE HIM. A DBD-Brock match at Backlash right now would blow the roof off the place.

If Brock were full time and they clearly had plans for him, this would have gone over a lot better. I'm seeing a lot of sentiment that they shouldn't have let an up-and-comer end tStreak because it would be too much for him to live up to afterward. I don't disagree, but for a slightly different reason - no one could really use it right now. Bryan got over on his own, Cesaro just wouldn't quite make sense, Punk is AWOL and didn't need it to begin with...

The graceful way out of this - Taker comes out tomorrow night on Raw, starts teasing the end...cut to Sting in the rafters. One more match to send him off.

Agree on all counts.

First move of that match, taker got flipped on his head/shoulder. I thought he got hurt there.

Rumblings on r/squaredcircle that Taker was just taken to the hospital.

Could be something, could be nothing, could be a work, could be baloney, could be a Klunk, could be $50,000 in cash...

It's like y'all are expecting Vince to do the logical thing with anything. Ever.

People were legit leaving the Superdome after the Taker-Lesnar match. They basically HAD to put the WWE World Title on Daniel Bryan or the place may have been a pile of rubble in the morning.

RAW would've been fun though!

Re: Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

I was a fan of Brock, despite his off-air db-ness. But the streak....the streak.....I don't even follow wrestling anymore and I respect the streak.

I with you, Undertaker is easily one of my favorites. I'm disappointed to hear of the streak ending.

Re: Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

Obviously Taker wanted the streak to end - he's an old-school professional and in wrestling you go out looking at the lights. That said, this couldn't have happened without his say so.

I just...dunno. They couldn't have given him a better sendoff with or without the streak?

Also...DANIEL BRYAN JUST WON THE **** TITLE AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?

I hear ya about old pro /Andre. The Undertaker was my 2nd fave all time after Macho Man. Through his different personas and everything.

Re: Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

...They did it. They farking did it.

Brock breaks the streak.

Of all the directions they could have gone if and when they decided to go through with breaking the streak...they picked him.

You have got to be shiatting me.

ETA: Rumblings that Taker got legit hurt in the ring and called for the end himself. Still, the streak deserved a better send-off than that.
