SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 Is this the wrong time to point out that Brock was in the process of being buried around the time he left? LOL, him getting "buried" is nothing compared to what Jericho and RVD have been going through all these years. But we're not talking about them, we're talking about Brock.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 So, Big Show has been doing the F-5 on smackdown right Big Show is a babyface that will most likely job to the Champion this Sunday. The wwe is in negotiations supposedly for Big Show to face a Sumo wrestler for Mania. Brock was said to be in Japan and wanting to do shoot fights. Maybe I give the creative team too much credit, but.....next thing we know Big Show and Brock will have a shoot on ppv in May(rumoured return of Brock). If not, I'm sure Brock cares that Big Show wrestled hurt, while he broke his ribs as WWE Champion and had his reign cut short when it was planned for him to go over Hulk Hogan at MSG for Survivor Series. Still, Big Show has been busting tail though and has a good reason to gripe, but read the first sentence again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression he got the jet, WWE picked up his fuel bills. Yeah, he was paying for the jet, while the WWE was picking up fuel & paying the pilot. However, Brock was leasing the jet, he didn't buy it outright. I would imagine he turned the jet back in after he left, since he wouldn't have any use for it.

notJames 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 People actually don't want Brock back? Do these people also hate good wrestling? I agree wholeheartedly. Anyone complaining about wrestlers "biting the hand that fed them" need look no further than Shawn Michaels, the poster child of selfishness. The manlove he gets all over the place seems a bit misplaced considering how often he used to put himself above the other wrestlers, and quite unprofessionally at that. I, for one, would welcome Lesnar back in a heartbeat. I guess I just miss great wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

humongous2002 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 I wish Lesnar would just go play football in Europe It will never happen, not enough money or status and he doesn't actually want to play football that much. Apparently the Vikings tried to refer him to coaches of other teams in Europe but Brock never bothered to try contact them. He'd have to move, accept a money offer under 100k, work hard to even attain the level of the European league, probably have to sell his jet and estates in the USA... so, never it is. But playing football is his "dream", that's why he left a million dollar WWE contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's basic booking though. Even if the plan wasn't for Big Show to win the title at SSeries, the heel should win the first match of a PPV series, and then Brock won virtually every match they had since then. So even though "The Next Big Thing" shouldn't be putting over "The Big Job" as you call him, the fact he did is the reason Show was able to credibly put over Brock all of 2003.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 Actually, I had liked Big Show(still do somewhat) when he just came to Smackdown. Heyman did a great job with him and the storyline. The real people who put Brock over were Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and UT in that order. Brock was above Big Show at the time if you look at it this way. Brock then jobbing to Big Show made it possible for Big Show to give him back the rub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
