I don't see how that is remotely the case tbh. There were only two instances of them making contact with each other. The pathetic tug of war with the belt, and then Mania.

I'd barely even call it a feud, but even so, there was no winner/loser.

I seriously think that Mania's ME was a case of putting someone over (Rollins) without necessarily making someone go under. Liked how it was booked.

Yep. Lesnar wasn't pinned. Reigns was, but pushed Lesnar to the limit, which no one else has, and Rollins wins the belt. Perfect booking.

Yeah Brock losing to Cena on his comeback was bad enough, but losing to HHH at Wrestlemania was baffling. However, the Cena match at Summerslam made everything right and Brock was a legit beast from that point. 2 years sounds ****ing long though.

Honest question here: In terms of being a draw, HHH is rated pretty high (not Austin Rock level obviously, but still was the top heel in the boom period), but shouldn't the fact that he actively hurt business through his **** politics in his 03-05 run and his crap wins over Brock and especially Punk count against him? He was a big reason why so many people turned away from Raw in his long reign on top as WHC and his win over Punk cooled off what could have potentially been one of the hottest champions in history after Punk at MitB. People never seem to take this into account when doing stuff like this. They only look at the positive drawing aspects. Applies to Hogan too imo.

Are modern day fans patient enough to not **** on a 2 year program? I'd be all for it if the right guys were in it though.

Also, what's JR's poddy like? Keen on listening to his Meltzer and HBK ones.

“It’s too bad that so many people within the business have bastardized the DDT, among other moves, or it would still be a great finisher instead of another overused, uncreative high spot that everyone kicks out of on a regular basis. Those type of issues where finishing maneuvers have become impotent ‘spots’ is the fault of undisciplined bookers within the world of wrestling and lazy talents who have not mastered the art of wrestling.”


Yes, yes, yes! I was alluding to this before in this thread.

Was obvs just a case of paying his dues/being punished for the way he left the company first time round imo.

Haha no, but Solomonster himself said that Kane was "Jacked", especially for a guy of his age... Your post pretty much repeated what he said verbatim.
damn, I probably listen to him too religiously then. He's certainly repeated that line himself a number of times now I think about it :p
