I am sick and tired of lesnar being overrated by fans. This guy wins the title and barely even cares enough to show up to raw or ppv's. This alone makes him worst champ in a decade. The champ belt has been irrelevant during lesnar's run. Add to the fact that all he does is suplexes and his finisher all match.. while kicking out opponents finisher 2 or 3 times. Plus add that he can't talk on mic at all. Brock is most overrated pro wrestler today. And now he is even walking out on raws. Why?
I agree lesnar is very overrated, but you gotta remember that the miz was wwe champ this decade. Dont get much worse than a champ that isnt a strong enough name to main event mania on his own
Yes those jokers won title also but atleast they were on the shows to be able to get belt off of them. Lesnar has held belt hostage with no chance of rollins cashing in or another wrestler beating him
I absolutely get the appeal of Lesnar. I even mark out sometimes in his matches. The guy is just a legit badass monster, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. I didn't like the fact he was going to be champion solely because he wasn't going to be showing up much. We went months without seeing him or even Heyman. But I blame WWE moreso for that. They knew they couldn't afford to have him appear for so many dates so why is he champion for so long? His run would have been so much better if he had more than two feuds.
A few months ago, I would have disagreed with you. But now, nah.
I see no reason why Lesnar couldn't have been on RAW since the start of 2015 every week. The whole "he's become a special attraction" excuse has gotten old. If they want to make him a special attraction, it's all well. But don't make a special attraction your champion.
Agreed, the whole "can't afford him" excuse is lame too. I like Lesnar, a lot, the guy is legit as fuck, but this reign has been wasted on Cena, save for the Rumble match which I think was made great by Rollins being in it.
Lesnar had done all he can considering the limited dates, every time he turns up he destroys people and looks unbeatable. That's all you can expect from him really with the shitty contract he's got.
Well when I see him all he does is stand around and have heyman cut a promo for him cause he can't talk himself. himself . Barely seen lesnar in a match on raw.
Lesnar is just not a showman like Sting or someone. His place is as a monster to get hyped up and then used to put over a face. Honestly the dude is boring, zero charisma. All he has is he is a total legit bad ass. Which matters alot to me. But he isnt a great wrestler at all
Brock was willing to work more dates than what his contract called for if he was paid the same per-appearance rate. It's not his fault the WWE couldn't be bothered to #paybrock to have better shows and get more matches from him as champion. They could have even saved his existing appearances by flying a camera man and Heyman out to Minnesota to cut pre-taped vignettes and promos when necessary without requiring his physical presence on RAW.
People who hate Brock for not appearing should redirect their hate at WWE. They kept him at home and booked Cena matches repeatedly, not Brock Lesnar. They booked his title run like shit specifically so fans would turn against him and be ready for anyone to take the belt off him, even if it was an untalented, unskilled entertainment vacuum like Roman Reigns.
The Miz and Khali were both worse champions, as were Big Show and Kane. Reigns will be one of the worst champions ever if he wins the belt, if not the worst ever. Brock's reign was only bad because the WWE purposefully made it suck so the sheep in its audience wouldn't projectile vomit as hard when they put the belt on Reigns.
I prefer Lesnar over Orton as champion, but sometimes I forgot who the WWE champion is. Lesnar really doesn't need the title, but he's only been on TV about 7 times since he's been champion which was 6 months ago.
I think they wanted to try something different with a part timer as champ, built up as a special attraction. When he's there, it's huge. Unfortunately, no fault of Brock's it has been mostly disappointing. Since forever the show has centered on the title or the chase for the title. Why else do any of this? I know Vince with the entertainment crap, not a wrestling show but most fans who have been programmed into the title being the biggest thing, couldn't just that switch off and forget about it for these long intervals.
Well Lesnar is a lame duck champion at this point, and usually lame duck champions never go well in this situation. More than likely he's done after Wrestlemania. they needed to get the belt off him at the rumble, but it's too late to turn back now.
I couldn't disagree more. If you wanna talk about him not being there much, that's fair. But Lesnar is must see TV when he is there. And on top of that he's the most legit guy on the roster.
The belt hasn't meant this much in years and years. Every title match he's in has a big match feel that is rarely ever captured in WWE now. Not to mention that 2 out of 3 title matches he's had have been outstanding.
