Brock: Do you like gladiator movies? Brock: Ever been in a Turkish prison, Chris? Chris, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Brock's no bully, he was just trying to calm Jericho down by suggesting they have rough, kinky gay sex.
It's a perfectly valid way of resolving workplace disputes.

So how long until this is turned into a storyline or match? If I am Jericho, I refuse it. I have my podcast, B-movie roles and my band. I have lots of money. I have no need to accept a story where I will be buried like I am Barry Horowitz with a guy I nearly had a fight with and who I already suspect might shoot on me. Regardless of the possible payday, Jericho is in a position to make a stand on that. Luckily for Jericho, he's one of the few people on the roster that actually has more outside options than Lesnar. They really have no leeway to strongarm him into a Brock burial.

By the time of the next story it's going to be that Brock said, "One more word and I'll whisper in your ear while rubbing your balls a little!"

If I've learned anything over the years of being a wrestling fan is that one thumb to the eye will stop a man dead in his tracks. Or, kick him in the dick.

That attitude is really going to change school yard bullying. A dad to another dad: "HEY! YOUR BOY TRIED TO KISS MY BOY! NOW I'M HERE TO KISS YOU!"

With all of this Jericho malarkey, the embarrassment of the UFC wellness bust and the fact he gets special treatment in WWE where he doesn't have to test, the fact he's allowed to have blood in a match when the rest of the roster isn't, the part time schedule he has compared to their grind, I gotta wonder how popular he is with the rest of his WWE coworkers. One would assume there has to be some brewing resentment. For all this and more (let's not forget the insanely skewed pay level), I've totally fallen off the Brock bandwagon. I'm all for veterans getting paid more relative to their star value, and working lighter schedules so as not to kill themselves, but Lesnar's deal and perks are light years beyond what I'd consider reasonable. Really, can anyone make a logical case that his drawing power or "mystique" are even remotely proportionate to the level of special treatment he's getting? And on top of that, why do they keep putting over the MMA guy as the overpowered, indestructible badass who makes all the boring old wrestlers look weak as shit? I'd be stunned if there isn't a fair amount of resentment at this point.

I notice with every update, Brock gets more and more aggressively homoerotic. Pretty soon it's gonna be "MARRY ME OR DIE CHRIS" For such a noted homophobe, Brock sure does get homoerotic. Brock seems to treat every single human interaction as if it was the Prison Yard.

Not saying Jericho would beat him or anything but Brock needs to watch the ego a bit. You can't go around acting like the big cock on the walk like that. He could easily try that shit with someone like Baron Corbin who has legit boxing and jiu jitsu experience and he could just as likely put Brock out. Look at how Sin Cara is seemingly the locker room bad ass presently and you'd never think it. Hell, Corbin might well have more legit training in various martial arts than Brock. Brock got through on being the Hulk with a Division 1 NCAA accreditation. Hmm, pretty sure most people would rank being an NCAA champion and UFC heavyweight champion a more impressive accomplishment than regional Golden Gloves champion and "has jiu jitsu experience". And the reason Brock acts like cock of the walk is because he basically is, for the credentials listed above. Until someone actually knocks him off his perch, why can't he act like that? Besides, it's not like Lesnar has a history of just going up to people and starting trouble for no reason. He obviously feels Jericho dissed him in some way.

Besides, it's not like Lesnar has a history of just going up to people and starting trouble for no reason. He obviously feels Jericho dissed him in some way. I meant Corbin has more varied and long term cross training. Brock has horrid stand up and his submission game is just as bad. He only tapped out Carwin because he was virtually dying of exhaustion. Brock got by purely on his NCAA. Corbin would not only his a Puncher's chance with his golden gloves background, he'd also possibly submit Brock like Mir did. It wasn't like Mir did anything revolutionary or difficult to get that leg lock. I guess my point is in UFC, you have footage of opponents and know what they can do - you can alter your ego to fit how confident you are. Brock has no idea if any of these guys are capable or not. I hope one day that ego gets him put in his place and a reality check comes in like after Cain and Overeem abused him. I say this as a Lesnar fan. I think he has value to WWE but unless this is the most meta heel turn I've ever seen, it seems to be going quite wrong presently.

Brock tapped to Mir but that was his first UFC fight. He doesn't have perfect technique by any means but he improved as time went on and I doubt he'd get caught in a simple leg lock again. Plus who knows whether Corbin could even pull it off. As for Corbin having a puncher's chance, yeah he would but so did Carwin and Hunt. Carwin knocked seven shades of shit out of Brock but he still couldn't KO him. Lesnar can take a punch no doubt about it. Submission wise, again the technique isn't there but if Brock takes you down (and he will take you down) you're in trouble. If a man of Brock's size and strength gets you in a rear-naked choke, you're going out.

So, I'll admit that I haven't checked to see if this was mentioned before, but I'm wondering if the idea for the Brock squash and the "did he break the script" finish was to rebuild the mystique/threat of Brock after he got busted in UFC?

My takeaway from where this thread has gone is that I want Corbin to be repackaged as Kung-Fu Corbin. His entire offense consists of deadly karate chops to the head. Every once in awhile, he'll totally no-sell someone's finisher and backstage, Stan will ask "Damn Corbin, didn't that hurt?" And Kung-Fu Corbin will be all like "I'm a karate man. A karate man bruises on the inside."

Michael Hayes is a piece of shit. I make plenty of snide comments about guys on the roster being bad people, but Hayes is actually a bad person. Fire his useless ass, he contributes nothing positive to the world. "DID YOU SELL OUT THE SUPERDOME WITH JYD? DID YOU SELL OUT TEXAS STADIUM WITH THE VON ERICHS? I DIDN'T THINK SO!"

Jericho does have a highly visible podcast, and someone said he's a Meltzer source. Maybe Hayes was told not to give away whether it was work or shoot so it wouldn't get out. That's dumb. That's dumb as hell. Actually, it's not.
