For most improved guy on the stick. Is it just me or has he gotten fucking awesome?

He still is a lil bit rough around the edges, but generally yes, Brock has greatly improved and I enjoy listening to him speak. He's developed a personality behind the mic and is (more) comfortable behind it (though he still seems nervous).

He has improved, and he can only get better. Isn't he only around 27 years old?

I think he's 23 or 24...

His plea to Go..I mean Vince on Smackdown to let him have Goldberg was quite possibly the worst solo in ring mic work I've seen in 5 or 6 years.

eh I wouldnt go that far... but it was pretty bad. Then again, I dont even think the Rock could cut that kind of promo and make it sound good... especially if it was a scripted promo, and if thats the case the fault lies with the writers

Well, by comparison, who else has really been giving the opportunity that Brock has? Not a lot of people get as much TV time as him, nor as much mic time as him. So, they don't really get the ability to improve.

 

The only person I can think of getting mic time recently is Randy Orton. He's not all that great either.

 

I really think that Batista could develop well behind the stick. He showed early signs.

Yes Lesnar has really improved from when he debuted. He's gotten alot better on the mic as everyone has mention and has gained more experience in ring.

In the Smackdown 5 video game he says he's 25, so he's probably 26 now.

Now there's a guy I'd like to listen to. Get him away from Evolution, though. He just gets lost in the shuffle. He seems like he'd be pretty good, or at least not any worse than everyone else. -Jim

I just find him uninteresting on the mike. I'd much prefer him with a manager like he was with Heyman to cover up for the fact that he just isn't all that good on the mike, if we must give him interview time

Brock has amazingly improved on the mic, considering that he was a "silent monster" when he debuted and his first words on tv were two weeks in and they were, "AHRR!."

Brock is better now, but still nothing special. You can tell when he loses his focus and changes stuff around or just screws up his line. That's the key problem with scripted promos, Brock for one is far too nervous trying to remember everything rather than letting it flow.

Having Paul Heyman speak for him when he first came to WWE, among other things, definitely got him over as a despicable heel, although, though I preferred the former, a little more mic time wouldn't've gone astray.

 

Brock may be no Rock (they have completely different styles) - but who's to say that he can't get any better?

Brock doesn't do his talking on the mic - he does it wrestling.

That bit was great character work.

That won't matter when he beats Goldberg at MSG in a few weeks.

Watching some of Brock's absolutely hideous pre-Mania XIX mic work, ANYTHING is an improvement.

His post-Mania promo wasn't so great either.

 

Granted, he did land on his noggin.

I would agree. I did not get a wussy/wimpy feeling at all from that. I got a man who is so very very angry that he has completely looped around hatred and is coming at it from the other side. He is desperate as a previous poster said, and he is desperate to bring a very real boatload of pain to Mr. Goldberg.

Brock's much better then he started out. It was a great idea to stick him with Paul E. till he got good enough on his own...still has room to go to be great, but he's pretty good right now.
