He threw a fumble! How do you do that? That is why we didn't want to give him the franchise tag money, he is...wait, wrong Brock. I guess it can still be used though.

Haha, yeah that game was pretty damn bad tonight. Didn't think it could much lower than the overtime tie in Arizona last night, but at least more points were scored tonight lol.

I was playing Battlefield instead so can someone summarize what happened here for me?

They actually thought he'd get booed...
Heyman was off through the whole thing. I have NO idea what he was going for at the start and with his weird stuttering thing he kept doing. Was it supposed to be fake nervousness? Seemed odd. Then when the crowd refused to stop cheering for Brock, it's like they both just froze. All he had to do is have Brock tell them why he, "moved out of that craphole, so stop pretending I have anything in common with any of you."
All in all, still patiently waiting for this Suplex City era Brock to end.

The fact he's getting paid apparently six figures per appearance and this is the shit he's showing up for anymore is a spit in the face to the people who show up to work every day for this company. Because Brock is bigger than the WWE and they are willing to pay anything to not have him be a success anywhere else. WWE hates HATES to see their stars become something great on their own right and not by WWE's hand. They want to look at a guy and go "WE MADE THAT! NOT HIM!". It's The Rock all over again.

I was at the show. Brock Lesnar can not be booed here. Can't. He is essentially Bret Hart in Canada here. He loves us, we love him. No matter what.
That said... That was so disappointing. Noone wanted to chant "Goldberg". During the Brooke/Bailey segment, the arena was chanting "We want Lesnar."
I do not understand how WWE fumbled this so badly. Play up to the fact that we are in Lesnar's hometurf and we have his back. We are "Suplex City" and he knows it.
The crowd was just so deflated after that.

They bend over backwards for Brock and I don't think it's really worth it with a lot of his half ass matches as of late.

But they will give Brock what he wants because the name Brock Lesnar puts butts in the seats, and he knows this. Brock is the real winner in this. Do I get my ass kicked in the UFC and lose my credibility or do I go to WWE, make six digits just by throwing people around once every three months?

I'm glad to get some feedback from someone who was at the show. Don't know why they didn't just run with his popularity in Minnesota and just talk about the match and not try and shoehorn Goldberg chants in.

I think Brock is a genius for getting himself that deal and I would try and do the exact same thing if I was in his position. He definitely is a draw, but I do wish the Suplex City stuff would get downplayed a bit and he could actually do some different moves in the ring.

I was also at the same arena for the go home show for SummerSlam 2015. Pual Heyman did the whole "Brock Lesnar marches on!" song. Brock was the heel, and we were all ready to string up Undertaker in downtown and burn him at the stake. Baffled by how they gave us Brock this time...

I think the only way Brock could get booed in Minnesota is if he was decked out in full Packers gear and yelled out "Kirby Puckett sucked!"

I was fully behind Brock for that match because Taker kicked him the balls like a punk three times in the build up to SummerSlam last year.

Somehow it'll be Heyman's fault for not getting Minneapolis to turn on Brock, which is absolute BS since Brock could eat a child during a contract signing and the crowd would still be chanting Suplex City. The blame should be 100 percent on the head of Old Man Vinny. Everybody always says the WWE is his vision, but it's about time someone lets him know that his vision is severely impaired. his vision is also tunneled.

There's literally nothing to discuss The fact he's getting paid apparently six figures per appearance and this is the shit he's showing up for anymore is a spit in the face to the people who show up to work every day for this company. I'm so sick of Lesnar, I actually want Goldberg to beat him that's how sick of him and this BS I am... he's a complete waste of money and time by the WWE at this point. Man this Brock/Heyman segment screamed "we can make tons of money doing nothing, chew on that!"

They should have had Brock come out in his sombrero and dance around for no apparent reason.

But that was possibly the worst promo I've ever heard Heyman cut. It wasn't even Heyman-bad, which would still be better than most people, it was just plain bad. Making a fortune for 3 minutes of that is one of the sweetest gigs imaginable.

This is the Apex of stupidity. They shot the overness of Goldderg in the mouth by doing this.
In one week they ruined a sure-fire angle.
What do they want to do, they want to recreate the heatless match of Mania from years ago where nobody knew whom to cheer for? Cause they risk going into the same crap by not making it clear who's the face and the heel.
