Besides the fact that he's never wrestling and the fact that he's holding the belt hostage with his contract to a level that they implant it in storylines, I hate the fact that dude is built up as being THE END BOSS. Roman ain't working with Lesnar? Keep going with Brock until he is. Roman's ready now? Ok let's slide the belt to Brock. Roman's out? Ok, put the belt on Brock so whoever is next in line can face him and win. This guy has been built up as the strongest guy on the roster for 4 years. Shit's crazy.
Long, long ago, when Brock was first building towards being the unkillable machine, when he'd just broken the Streak, I was all behind it because of how amazingly over someone would get when they beat him. And nobody has except Goldberg. Now don't get me wrong, my reptilian-brain mark wrestling fan reaction was f*** yeah, because that last Goldberg/Brock match was the f***ing BUSINESS. But ONLY Goldberg has beaten Brock clean since the Triple H feud ended.
This shit is meant to be getting someone over. It's not getting Roman over, he isn't here, and might never be again. It's not getting the belt over, it's never on TV. It's not getting Brock over, he's never on TV either. It's not getting the f***ing idiots on Raw more over when they still show up to work despite having nothing to wrestle for. They're lucky that Survivor Series is happening so they have the brand rivalry to explain what they're doing, because as soon as that show's over it's right back to 'I want to challenge for the title... in September of 2020!!!'
Yeah that's the thing: it's not there to get anyone over really. They're probably having Lesnar dominate everyone until Reigns gets back and when Lesnar loses the title? It'll be through bullshit.
It's just not good storytelling.
