i cant see lesner coming back to the wwe, he was crazy to the point of scary near the end of his time with the wwe..
i stopped watching because it was just sickening.
some of that stuff cant of been planned, he was out of control.
Lesnar's ego was the only thing that was out of control, and when he left, NO ONE saw it coming. Lesnar legitimately did not tell anyone about his plans until the big meeting of all the talent before Mania, he completely destroyed a match they had been building and hyping as one of the main events of the show, and turned it into meaningless shit since the fans knew that both guys were leaving, so the match became total shit, and Steve Austin had to stunner both of those prema donnas (Lesnar and Goldberg) to try and salvage something. I shed no tears over Brock Lesnar's many failures since leaving. The way he did it was unprofessional as hell (why could Brock not keep this information till himself until AFTER the show? He couldn't possibly have been so idiotic that he thought it wouldn't hit the internet), and he cost the WWE a lot of money, both on the backend of what it cost to train and develop him, plus produce his merchandise, but he also cost them future revenues in terms of exploiting his name. Brock is someone who it can legitimately be said Vince start to finish created, promoted, and produced. He owes everything to Vince Mcmahon, and he should have been a lot better about showing his gratitude for that.
I only thought him coming back would be a good idea because it might pop a buyrate on a show that is probably going to be embarrassing from a work standpoint, and even more embarrassing from a buyrate standpoint. I'm starting to think the GAB should be done away with completely, because it is just about always WWE's all around worst show of the year, and the biggest reason for that this year is going to be because of the rotten promotion it's gotten, and the fact that the show reeks to me of being just a setup deal for Summerslam (you can't bitch about the Batista match getting fucked, as that's something totally outside of WWE's realm of control...but who looked forward to him killing Henry anyway?). Meh, I'm not much looking forward to any WWE PPV this year anyway, except the ECW shows. I know a lot of people are pissing all over the brand for being so WWE controlled, but I know a lot of the core guys's attitudes and feelings well enough to know that they want this to work, they want to give people a quality product despite the handicaps, and I think when RVD and Kurt Angle get back, when Sci-Fi commits to the show more, and Vince stops demanding it conform to his ideas and commands, and let's it try and find it's own voice and presentation style. The show is going to get better. Yeah, I dunno, it's getting late, I'm rambling, and I think I'm just tired of being pissy and critical of everything in the wrestling business anymore. I guess I'm looking for something to believe in, not an honest product, because nobody in this fucking business is honest, but I guess just something where the guys seem to really give a shot, and I want to support them. So far I can find that product every Tuesday night. Hope that continues.
