I mean in storyline? Naomi had to relinquish her title because she wasnt able to defend it in 30 and yet Lesnar is getting a free pass? Things like this are killing the sport if you ask me, why some rules apply only to some people and not to everyone?? Again im talking in storyline.

All of these "Rules" are only brought out to further storylines when they are needed. People often pass the 30 day limit without defending titles, it's just when someone is genuinely injured and it hurts the angle to have them not wrestling - or they can't even appear on TV, then "creative" have to re-think.

Plus of course, Bork has WWE over a barrel. He contractually ensured the win over Goldberg, and strong-armed his way into the Universal Championship. His contract also dictates that he only appears a few times per year, for his ridiculous amount of money, so WWE have no choice but to keep him off screen.

Imagine a baseball team contractually forced to hire a star pitcher, but a pitcher that insists on massive money per appearance, and minimal effort when he DOES appear. There's not a team in the land that would stand for that shit. Yet, it's what Vince is allowing Bork to do - and has allowed him to do for years now.

Vince is a fool, and Lesnar is a money-grabbing bitch that has absolutely no regard for the title he holds, nor the company he works for. Not even Hogan held the company to ransom like this, for such a sustained amount of time. It's a fucking disgrace.

Because they need to keep fucking Reigns for next year WM.:deanfpalm:deanfpalm. Summerslam is too bad for giving Reigns his final coronation. #WWELogic
So instead of having a short reign, Brock is gonna have it for 1 year. And Brock is a part-timer which means the normal rules doesn't apply to him.
Jesus, Vince needs to retire, he is burying RAW with this shit.

They literally just announced a fatal 5 way for the #1 contender for that title. I doubt they're gonna forget about it :lol


I hate that 30 day rule cos WWE is so inconsistent with it. Either use it or don't use it, don't flip flop. Brock should have been stripped of the title already lol.

Yeah, a former UFC fighter who was caught taking drugs and can't draw a dime for WWE. He is over with some fans but nobody watches WWE for Bork. Brock received 12 million last year for several minutes which bored the hell out of me.

Consistency isn't the WWE's strong suit in case you had not noticed. They only bring up rules when it suits them best.

Who else remembers the days when not only did a champion have to defend every 30 days, but the champion had to have at least 1 successful title defense in order to EARN their rematch clause.

Nope, not anymore. How else are they going to pointlessly drag out feuds without putting any thought into things?

Because rules only apply when WWE wants them to apply.

Trish Stratus f.e before she lost the title to Mickie James was out for a while with an injury and sure as hell couldn't defend the title for over 30 days at one point. They did nothing.

I'm sure there's been WWE champions too who have held title and not defended it over 30 days... I think Goldberg qualifies on that category?

This is why I don't see how much of a business profit Brock brings to the company. I do really hate how inconsistent the WWE can be with their rules like the 30 day Title Defense. They use it perfectly at times, and then ignore it for stuff like this. Even Deam Ambrose didn't defend his US Title that often when he had it for a long time with the Shield.

Except when it suited Stephanie to threaten healthy people with it in the past. Don't try to justify it, no matter how many ways you think you can WWE has already found a way to negate it.

The 30 day rule is useless. It would make sense to get rid of the whole rule altogether. Why? Because this way the "face" can honor the current rule, or even defend more often. On the other hand you have the heel who can play the role of heel by prolonging the title defense to their liking. It would actually explain so much in story line. We need the heels to delay and we want to see our face talent defending honorably. The 30 day rule destroys all of that. It kills any chance of a simple back story to the characters involved.
