Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted August 13, 2002 So, what do you do when the ratings suck? That's right... BROCK VS RIKISHI! What does everyone predict this "dream match" will get for ratings? I'm betting around a 2.8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Brock should just demolish Rikishi. Total domination of the match, F-5, pin but instead, we'll get some bullshit where Rikishi dominates, Heyman distracts him, F-5, and then Stinkface and dancing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted August 13, 2002 I totally agree that Brock should just KILL Rikishi...he has to look strong going into Summerslam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Electrifyer Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Was that the main event that the commercial aired? TSN of course edited it out and I didn't see the commercial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Will the chances improve if I fly to the arena and start going at the catwalk with a hacksaw right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted August 13, 2002 They need him to just manhandle Rikishi. If they were smart, they would have had him clobber and wreck Hogan during the traditional no-sell period of the Hulk-Up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Wait, is Brock/Rikishi that huge main event they were talking about durring RAW? I never watch the commercials, so what did I miss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 13, 2002 You mean you don't think HHH/Rock is good enough to combat the awesome power of Brockishi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted August 13, 2002 You mean you don't think HHH/Rock is good enough to combat the awesome power of Brockishi? Brock/Rikishi is just a match that would be in my nightmares. You might as well through Henry in there and make it the 3-way of the century! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted August 13, 2002 At least the match will probably be a Brock squash...I hope. You never know with Rikishi around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted August 13, 2002 At least the match will probably be a Brock squash...I hope. You never know with Rikishi around. I thought Rikishi always wins though? I can't see the match ending any other way, other than Brock getting the win by a distraction, and then Rikishi leaving on top and then dancing. Hell, I can't remember the last time one of his matches didn't end that way. I don't care what happens though, either way, I still will hate them both. Unless of course Rikishi comes out in long tights, does the Rikishi Driver, Brock gets a reaction, and does the SSP... ...all of which, will NOT happen shockingly enough.

I can't see the match ending any other way, other than Brock getting the win by a distraction, and then Rikishi leaving on top and then dancing. Hell, I can't remember the last time one of his matches didn't end that way. Good point. My hope is that Brock will somehow get the pin(most likely, F5, Heyman interference. Cole and Tazz yelling "Oh my god! He just F5'ed the however many pounded Rikishi."), then go onto destroy Rikishi or something. Eh. Maybe Brock will do a Hogan job and put Rikishi out of action for awhile. Of course, I will not be happy no matter what happens because they just fed Batista to Rikishi just to feed Rikishi to Brock, which absolutely sucks. I wish they would not have set up this match beforehand. I may have had a partial chuckle if Rikishi said he wanted this match because he was "doing it for the Rock" or something. Ah well. I wonder who Brock will squash on next week's Smackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Christ I can't stand Rikishi...the 400 lb dancing guy was great for a little while...with with Too Cool it was better.... But I hate Rikishi...he hasn't changed at all in the last 2 years...does the same moveset with the same predictable stinkface finish...he is the most unenteresting worker in the WWE...his matches are usually when I take my piss breaks... I hope Brock accidnetly legit hurts the guy and gets him off tv for a while...sorry to say, but dammit I'm wishing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted August 13, 2002 ...Cole and Tazz yelling "Oh my god! He just F5'ed the however many pounded Rikishi... Brock did it in his debut appearance on RAW, after dismantling such other wrestling luminaries as Spike Dudley and (I think) Tommy Dreamer. Or he did it on his second run-in. I forget... all these shows are starting to melt into one giant pile of "feh". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Maybe they made that match so people will tune in to see just how bad it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted August 13, 2002 I'm pretty sure that if they are willing to feed HOGAN to Brock, Rikishi will get the same exact treatment. He'll get some token offense in that Brock will oversell, but Heyman won't let Brock lose, and he'll F-5 Rikishi to hopefully wow the crowd, and if it doesn't.... *cues piped in crowd reaction* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Speaking of Rikishi losing, when was the last time he lost? He seems to be on a Goldberg-like winning streak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Lesnar vs. Rikishi=The Match of the Century. Actually, if this is the main event, then Smackdown doesn't look very good. RAW will be better just because of the Rock vs. HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted August 13, 2002 Brock should DEMOLISH Rikishi. Make Rikishi do a big bladejob and get murdered in just a few minutes. Brock screams for The Rock to come help his cousin. He says he won't stop beating Rikishi until Rock comes out. Brock and Rock have a staredown and WWE officials pull them apart before they come to blows. That's ONE thing the WWE has done right with Rock vs. Brock --- they haven't touched each other. No tag matches, no brawls... no one has the upper hand. DO NOT make this the main event, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
