>Brock not at Payback Almost a whole month without the flagship

I think it's funny how in injury angles, it's always the "OH WELL YOU CAN'T DEFEND IT AFTER 30 DAYS SO WE'RE STRIPPING YOU", yet in kayfabe this guy will defend it maybe 3 or 4 times a year with no actual reason.

All they need is some one off line from Heyman, but they don't even do that.

>>2591777
>Watching WWE in 2017

there's your problem right there.

Because Vince has to have his wet dream Lesnar/Reigns main event again even and this time Lesnar has to hold the title even longer.

>>2591794
I think the idea is you have to be AVAILABLE to defend in 30 days. Brock is available, he's just not fucking showing up.

I really hope they don't feed Strowman to him like they did with Cena,Rollins,Orton etc and do that boring shitfest of le suplex city but,rather have them beat the shit out of eachother or even have Strowman shockingly dominate him(it would be credible because they had 50 year old Goldberg absolutely destroy him in 1-2 min and strowman is buit like a monster that just dominates everybody) and still have bork win at the end.Would be so much better

>>2591777
Because he's big dimes Bork and has Vince by the balls

>>2591777
>People thought he'd be better than Goldberg
>He's somehow worse

I can't even, lads

I don't care, he is making the title seem like a fucking huge deal, which is what it needs after that KO shit.

>>2591794
Cant=/=wont

>>2591879
>"a huge deal"
>literally never on the show

>>2591777
It isn't acceptable, and it's part of why the WWE is a immense joke nowadays.

Back in the day, even if it was just for shows, they would defend the titles on raw/smackdown every now and then, sometimes even winning it out of nowhere.

>>2591879
Him not being there is not making it seem like a huge deal.

>>2591846
You wanna see what's gonna happen to Strowman?

Go watch the 2016 Royal Rumble.

>>2591912
That's irrelevant
What was Strowman back then and what he is now
And like I said,50 year old Goldberg destroy Bork and easily eliminated him at RR,even at WM 33 when Bork won,Goldberg still speared the shit out of him and didn't sell the suplexes

>complain about titles being so overused they no longer mean anything
>complain about titles not being used

>some people have Opinion A
>some people have Opinion B

OMG FUCKING SHOCKING, THOSE HYPOCRITES

Your top guy is in the best position on the roster to sell merch, tickets, network subs, do talk shows, whatever

Why pick a top guy who, per his contract, won't even show up to PPVs?

>>2592038
the company doesn't trust other guys to carry the title with their big logo on it. They rather have Brock showing once every blue moon

>>2592072
This is a good point, maybe they're sick of injuries (Seth, Finn) and roid pops (Roman)

You get the feeling those are the guys they really want to build

if you're not at least going to have heyman cut a promo everyone week then do a gimmick where it cuts to brock every week and he's home at his ranch hunting and being a real man and shit that will trigger the fuck out of all the beta fags (insider term) do fucking something to remind me the dude exists jesus christ

>>2592098

>this
>tfw no stone cold ranch tier segments with lesnar
>ywn see lesnar one up Steve by shooting targets instead of using a bow

Vince really is getting senile, protecting the children of the world from swear words and brutality. He's a faggot, but I love him.

Brock is defending at a house show next week in Dallas.

>>2592143
Vince always wanted a "family-friendly" product. The Attitude Era was an aberration that he was dragged kicking-and-screaming into.

>>2591879
How can you be this wrong?

People have literally forgotten the fruit roll up title exists. Lesnar is killing any chance this title has.

>>2592159

The sooner he dies the better. Although I'll miss him.

I don't want ECW again, I just want a product that doesn't purposely hold back. Especially in an age where all kids are more intelligent than 20 years ago, exposed to more shit at an earlier age. Vince needs to realise 8 year olds know what porn is, stop sheltering them.

>>2592244
The parents would cry and scream about the product being brash though along with the people who complain about absolutely anything.

>>2591879
>The audience forgeting the top title on the flagship show even exists makes it seem like a fucking huge deal

>>2591777
M-muh title will gain more prestige that way!1!!

Why don't you space after commas?

>>2592274
huh?

>>2591777
Why should he be there all the time? He's basically the final boss, all the scrubs should be fighting to have a chance to face him for the title.

>>2592319
I'd be 200% fine with that.

The problem is he and the Universal Title aren't being mentioned at all.

>>2592332
That's the autism from Vince. They need to be making a straight up contenders list for the title and mentioning it every week. Reigns and strowman are the top 2

>>2591777
>all these smarks getting worked

can you name one person currently active in wwe who has even a fraction of the drawing power or charisma of bork? nope. until wwe decides that anyone is allowed to be more over than the brand, you'll just have to deal with this.

Getting this triggered over a KETCHUP title held by a manlet twink and a fatass.

>>2591965
There's a difference between having a new champion every few weeks to not even seeing the title for 3months

>>2593024
this

>>2592872
What's a twink?

>>2591777
They should put it on Braun so we can actually see the champion on a regular basis.

Bork can win it back at the Royal Rumble, so Vince can have his wetdream matchup of Roman vs Bork at Mania.

>It was announced Friday that Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship at a brand-new pay-per-view called Great Balls of Fire on July 9 in Dallas.
>July 9th

We go 2 months for his first title defense? Really? People booed Goldberg for a shitty title defense, they better boo Lesner worse for this shit.

>>2591879
Nobody cared about the licorice strap and by not defending it WWE just made it worth less than the United Kingdom Championship.

>>2591794
>this level of retardation

In kayfabe, if Brock isn't defending the title, it's because they don't want him to. It's not as if he's refusing to defend it.

Remember the good ole days, when champions had to defend within 30 days, or be stripped? Those were good times.

And by "good ole days," I mean last month, when Naomi was stripped of her title.

>>2593408
>being this retarded

Nothing in kayfabe is stopping them from booking a title match for Brock. It's not as if he is refusing or physically unable to defend it. They just don't want him to.

>>2593415

So, in kayfabe, this company completely ignore its own rules on a whim in order to play favorites, thereby making the rules and the titles they pertain to utterly meaningless, AND you're okay with it?

Stop watching WWE, you fucking mark

>mfw Jinder Mahal beats Orton for the title and becomes the #1 Champion in the entire company

Absolutely based

Heyman talks a lot about swindling and hustling, and his method with Brock is a perfect example. Heyman is not a genius on the microphone. He sits on a few ideas for a couple of months, then shows up and tells a two-minute story and admittedly, it is good. After all, it is a two-minute story with 2 months of preparation.

Where Brock and Heyman fail is their cowardice. They're afraid that appearing frequently will tarnish the anticipation... He knows he doesn't have the talent to sell his product on a full-time schedule. He's failed with every "Paul Heyman Guy" that isn't Brock or CM Punk and Punk is gone. He's resting on his laurel and he's afraid it will be taken away if he's exposed as a push manipulator.

>>2592244
>I just want a product that doesn't purposely hold back.

You're too underage to remember when he was on TV every week even though it was...like, 3 years ago?

>UT not being defended, nor even in a program
>ICT not being defended, nor even in a program
>Main event match hasn't had one of its wrestlers on TV in 2 weeks
>Tag title champs just went over their #1 contenders on 2 consecutive Raws
>Womens title program was thrown together last week

Payback needed another 2 weeks to build if it was going to be worth anything in the grander scheme of things. Sadly, WWE just doesn't care.

>>2592244
LU

>>2593874

The whole PPV was killed by the ShakeUp.

-----

And BTW apparently Lesnar will only defend his belt for the first time in July, so that makes it 3 months without a big championship match for the RAW brand.

Then again: Due to the 50/50 booking they don't have anyone but Strowman to feed to Lesnar anyway. There is literally no one outside of Reigns and Strowman booked strong enough, who isn't also protected and shouldn't job out to Lesnar.

>>2593884
They can make anyone look strong
Kalisto just got a clean win over Strowman

>>2593896

Until 2 weeks ago I would have said, this is BS, but then Jinder became #1 contender...

Brock is obviously ducking competition
