The question about what would happen if Brock Lesnar failed the UFC version of wellness testing brought up an interesting question for me. Since, he only shows up once every four months or so, failed his test, and was suspended, would he really be suspended or would he just be off during his regularly scheduled moratorium, until the next big show?
Hypothetically, depending on when it was announced, it could definitely work out that way. If he were suspended on say July 10, he could be back in time for SummerSlam.
So Moose may go to WWE? Is it simply about the money? I'm sorry, but I don't want to see it. WWE style would virtually eliminate most of the things that make him unique (IE: the dropkicks, the tope' that could make some cruiserweights jealous.) Sure he'll get paid, but he's not no experience with promos, which means having to find a manager. In a nutshell, is there a reason for him to go to WWE except to get paid to work in NXT or at best be a midcard/enhancement talent?
There is one thing that fans often miss when considering the motivation of wrestlers and that is that many of them see WWE as the big time and they want to go there and reach the top of the mountain. Look at Chris Jericho for instance. He has more guaranteed money in WCW but he wanted to see if he could make it in WWE. A lot of talents feel that way. They are confident in what they can do and they want to go and try out in the big time. Sure, money is often a part of it too, but to many (if not most) wrestlers, they see WWE as the pinnacle and they want to get their chance there.
Considering that we already have AJ, Gallows and Anderson as part of The Club, and the fact that they already have a Balor Club shirt for sale, is it a foregone conclusion that when Finn Balor joins the main roster he will officially form the Balor Club with the aforementioned guys? If not, what other direction would they have for Finn that would make sense? Also, do you think he should continue to bring out the demon character, which is arguably the best entrance in wrestling since the Undertaker, only at PPV's and special events, or should he use it more or less often?
Last question first, the Demon is great and should be protected. If he does it every time, it will lose that uniquieness. I saw use it on special occasions only. I would love to see the Balor Club happen but if they decide to just make him his own entity that would be fine as well. He is extremely talented and can succeed however they choose to use him.
I saw the John Cena sketch on Maya and Marty and laughed so hard, I watched it two more times. I agree, he's a better person and a better performer than most fans take him for. After seeing that sketch, why is he still booked the way he is? He has a lot going for him in terms of charisma, and yes, when he is given the right opponent he can work some great matches. Is it simply because Vince wants him to be the new Hogan, or does he not realize John is capable of more?
He is playing the character that Vince McMahon wants him to play. That simple.
Many people are wondering what WWE is getting from the Brock/UFC deal. Obviously it's not publicity, as it's a different audience, and viewers of UFC 200 aren't just going to get Summerslam because they saw Brock a few weeks prior. So here's what I'm thinking. Remember a few years back, WWE essentially "traded" Christian to TNA for Ric Flair? What if, catching everyone off gaurd, CM Punk comes back for Summerslam. Do you think this is possible, or likely?
They didn’t trade Christian. They negotiated a deal to let TNA use Christian so that they could use Flair. At this point, there is nothing to this other than Brock wanting to do this and Vince letting him. I would love to see Punk come back to WWE, but that isn’t what in in play right now.
