I know I've got WWE fans with me. Caught SummerSlam last night - that was a helluva card. Even the Bella bullshit wasn't horrible. But then - Cena vs. Lesnar.
Holy Shit.
Brock absolutely destroys Cena. Of course: scripted, fake, not real. I know - obviously. I appreciate pro wrestling as an art form not as actual combat or sport. What I'm amazed by is that they had the balls to tell that story.
Brock Lesnar - the legitimate fighter tearing apart the WWE's Superman for the past 10 years. And not just beating him. Wrecking him.
Like I'm wrecking Cruise on the whole poetry thing. Check the forums.
You watched that match and you believed that Lesnar is the baddest man on the planet. Every German Suplex told a story. Every time he told the ref to call the match you believed the bell was going to ring.
Hell - I don't know if they prepped the ref because he looked like he didn't know what was happening: because we've never seen this before.
The 5 guys shouting "boring" in this match. Fuck you. That was the most compelling match this side of Cena-HBK's hour long marathon in the past 10 years.
I have no idea where they go from here. Plan is for Brock to go on to Mania with the title and face either the Rock, HHH, or Reigns. None of those matches will be any good. We'll have to believe that one of those 3 guys is at Brock's level and we know that's never going to happen.
They could strip him of the title or screw him over in a three-way match or perhaps blindside him with a MiTB cash in and a 15 on 1 beatdown. None of it's going to be convincing and it will ultimately tarnish the title.
The only thing that kind of works is Brock retires as champ. The greatest champ who ever lived. He conquered the WWE and everyone who ever mattered. And then goes on to UFC again and hopefully doesn't lose. It's the only story that works.
That's the future. Who knows where they go. From a writing perspective they've painted themselves into a corner. But for the moment when considering the beating that Brock laid on Cena last night.
Amazing. Well done.
