Brock didn’t take Finn to suplex city..

[bearned]

Beast vs Demon should be good assuming that’s what they do at the next PPV. Of course that’s assuming Brock is cool with taking a loss, which he might be if they pay him enough.

It pretty much cemented the fact that Brock hand-picked Finn as his Rumble opponent

I think the fact that it was not suplex city is the main reason I enjoyed it. I've been done with suplex city for about 3 years now and I have been vocal about wanting Brock gone forever. Still, that was a good match. I enjoyed a Brock match in 2019. I don't even know what way is up anymore.

Only grievance I had with the match was the aftermath. Balor was made to look like he was a huge threat who took Brock to the absolute limit only to lose on a total fluke, but then post-match Brock just goes, "LOL, done selling now," and gets in his usual spots and stands tall like it's nothing. Just felt like it was there so they can put the focus more on, "Brock crushed him," in the aftermath than on how close a fight it actually was.

Yeah, I disliked the post match beatdown.

It only really works for me if Finn gets a rematch where he can beat him as the demon or something... but with how Seth was talking about Brock before this it is almost certain he is not.

Finn looked great and lost due to getting caught. He established and exploited a weakness and made Brock almost human. It was good storytelling and a good match.

Agreed. Hell, even felt like the kimura was Brock having to dig deeper, since most guys, the F-5's plenty.

I legit thought Brock was injured from the table spots.
Either he was, or he's a lot better at selling than people might give him credit for. Or both.

I honestly thought he got crotched twice on the corner of the table and that wasn't selling.

It was a good match, but I still feel the wrong person won. Either that, or would have liked Brock to have left Finn alone after the submission.

Yeah, I took that as Brock kinda going "Oh Shit, better get rid of this guy NOW" type thing

I thought the post-match beatdown fit the story perfectly. That was Brock pissing all over the ring like the f***ing predator he is.

As discussed, he had way more trouble with Finn than he expected, using the kimura for the first time in years and not winning with a pinfall.

So as he was leaving, to make the point, he kicked the shit out of a downed opponent to tell him who the f*** Daddy is on Raw.

I think that Brock bothered to go back to beat up this 98lb Irish f*** who nobody thought had a shot at even getting a move in on him because he needed to, because otherwise Finn had won something even while losing the match.

And beautifully, Finn won it even more from Brock trying to take it from him.

But hey, I actively write headcanon to explain shit like this when it's annoying and stupid so what do I know.

Finn turning Rock n’ Rolla heel & coming out after Lesnar’s Mania match to give him a receipt with a bunch of stomps to the gut & a Summerslam rematch sounds good to me. Just not with Lesnar as champion.

See, now I want a stable of indie-riffic, little assholes. Finn, Bryan, throw a few more of them in there. They can even kick the shit out of a jobber called The Vanilla Midget. And another one dressed as Kevin Nash.

Okay so my idea ran out of steam as I went with it but it still has merit!
