Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 According to WWE, yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunk 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I think Lesnar has the making of a good champ, Sure he has been given the belt way to early, but if he had been given it in a few more months time when he has been able to develop his character, i think he could have been a good champ. I would also rather see Lesnar hold the belt for 6 months that have it go to 3 different other guys in the same time span. I think we need to give brock a chance as champ before writting him completely off. You never know, when he has the company on his shoulders as champ, he may come good!

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Well, Lesnar is improving, but he's still nowhere near ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 BUt he won't have the company on his shoulders. No matter who the champion is...HHH is pushed as the top guy. This is why no one can really succeed as champion. Look at it... two best title reigns as undisputed champion? Jericho for the month before HHH returned...then HHH became the focus. Undertaker...and HHH was injured and off TV for most of it. It's not a coincidence that champions can't suceed with him around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I could point out also that the last title reign that was at all memorable was Austin's long reign (minus 2 weeks for Angle) that occured when HHH was out for almost the entire time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted August 17, 2002 bps, you're right. When Lesnar wins the belt, it'll be like Jericho, defending the belt in the opening match against someone like Planet Stasiak, who will only lose because of Heyman's interference. Brock will probably have the belt for either one night and HHHotshot the belt, or a month, or until Wrestlemania. Brace thyselves, this could be ugly.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Title reigns do not seem to be the WWF's forte recently. And the joke about how they'd bring respect to the WCW belt (I remember a gag about how the Dog from Married With Children was a former WCW Champ) was a big joke as well. Sorry, but I do not buy The Rock or Kurt Angle as WCW Champions and I probably never will accept them as such. Triple H.. Perhaps. Steve Austin, sure. But they had to put it on two guys who have no past with the old company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Actually, the Rock isn't doing too bad for just the or so weeks that he's been champ. It's too bad it has to end so soon. WWE is going to know real quick whether Brock is going to be better as champ, as opposed to chasing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 You say that... but: Fact 1: He missed an entire week of TV in his short reign Fact 2: He has yet to defend the title. I don't know how that makes a good reign. At least while Jericho was cheating to beat Rikishi and Maven, he was defending the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TestKick Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Brock has to have a lengthy title run. If he's the same character he is now, at all, Brock will be NOTHING after he loses the belt. I do think HHH will win the title from Brock at Survivor Series, and give him his first loss... because as you know, after 3 years of pushing HHH as God, he still needs more help. HHH will always be the center of attention until the day he retires. Face it, with Rock & Austin gone, he's gonna be the guy, deal with it or stop watching.

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I thought that he defended against Benoit this last Thursday. Another thing, I heard that Rock isn't slated to head off to film Helldorado until 9/20. If the next ppv is before that, couldn't Rock possibly retain via schmooz? (although that would totally deflate the purpose of having something special such as a title change on ppv when you give it away on free tv shortly after) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 that match was non title for reasons that no one could ever make me understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted August 17, 2002 A-ha. Didn't know that. Now a question for you. Do you think that if HBK goes over HHH, that it is for sure that Brock is going over Rock, and vice versa? I mean, WWE wouldn't put 2 heels over in their 2 biggest matches of the night? Or would they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I've been saying that same thing. I really think HHH is going to lose because he can look like a team player for doing the job...but doesn't have to elavate anyone in the process. He'll put over his friends...remember...if he wasn't hurt...this match would be HHH vs. Nash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TestKick Report post Posted August 17, 2002 True, but HHH doesn't job in PPV's. He is a team player for jobbing to D'Von, Test, Brooklyn Brawler a couple times each year on Smackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I think HBK fits that qualification nicely. If it was HHH vs. a real wrestler...HHH would win the blowoff like always. But it's not. I really think HHH will do the job for all the wrong reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I should point out that this is one time I think HHH should win the blowoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted August 17, 2002 The way the story has been set up I think Michaels probably has to win. It doesn't make much sense otherwise. I mean, isn't it sorta odd to have HHH talk about how much Shawn sucks and is weak now....then goes out and destroys him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 That's exactly the formula used in the HHH/Jericho feuds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TestKick Report post Posted August 17, 2002 But, if Shawn's not gonna wrestle anymore... it doesn't help either of them if HBK wins. That would also give the insinuation that HBK was always the better wrestler. I don't think Trips would like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Does nobody believe that it is quite possible Brock Lesnar might actually lose at Summerslam? Isn't it a little too obvious to have him win. He might still win The Title but not at Summerslam. Anyway... No matter who has The Belt after Summerslam,The Rock or Brock Lesnar, they still have to deposit it at The Bank Of HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 18, 2002 If Brock wins then they not only wasted the last several months... but they also wasted Brock's first loss...by passing it on to someone who didn't need that to get over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 18, 2002 I'm still trying to deal with this tragedy. Come on........ Where do you come off giving a guy a shot at The Undisputed Championship when he faces Rikishi or Mark Henry every other Week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunk 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Where do you come off giving a guy a shot at The Undisputed Championship when he faces Rikishi or Mark Henry every other Week. Exactly! Although i do believe that if they had handled Brock properly and given him longer he could have been a great champ (like angle, who it took a year to win the belt for) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Let's all face facts that Lesnar is going to win the WWE Undisputed Title at SummerSlam. I mean, it would be stupid on the WWE's part to have Lesnar lose after receiving this monster push. The WWE is just too predictable nowadays. Even my friend, who isn't a big wrestling fan, knows that Lesnar is going to win the WWE Undisputed Title at SummerSlam. Everyone knows that by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
