I figured they just realized that Braun’s gonna lose again and he keeps failing over and over and they took this guy that was super over and they’ve made him just another guy that can tip over automobiles.

I'm pretty worried Braun is going to win the Rumble because I've been anticipating Seth going onto Wrestlemania for the title for a long time now Oh, I'm mixed on this one. Both Seth / Lesnar and Braun / Lesnar sound pretty damn lame but on one hand I want to see Braun get a big push FAR more than I do Seth, on the other at least there's, like, a chance Seth / Brock could turn out to be alright match (though I see zero chance the storyline would be even slightly good, especially if they take to doing the, "Roman Reigns, you guys!" route with the build) while I have no such faith in Brock / Braun. Although in the moment I think your best bet might be Braun screwing Lesnar over at the Rumble and then having Braun just plain squash him at Mania to send him packing while Balor defends against Rollins. Granted I have no faith in WWE to actually do that. Well this is the second time I've seen talk about Finn vs Seth being a possibility in the past hour so who knows.

Braun is just being historically poorly booked. It’s ok. Business as usual for the character.

I’ve got a baaaaaaddd feeeling he’s getting the Rumble 2015 treatment and winning it instead of Seth. Except I’m sure they’ll be a ton of support for him where as that’s sort of dying on here and other places.

This is apparently what Meltzer knows on the situation from Observer Radio, as summarised by a Reddit post:

And it’s also interesting to see some kind of observation that Lesnar apparently prefers working with the smaller talents, to the point of actually liking doing so and putting in actual effort. And, honestly, it’s not exactly unfounded based on the history of this second run. He had a great match with Punk a few years back, and the two Champion v Champion matches with Styles and Bryan ended up being awesome too. The only duds he’s had with smaller guys have been with Kingston at Beast In The East (a squash, mostly down to their relative card positions more than anything), the first match with Rollins at Battleground 2015 (another squash against Rollins’s uber-cowardly heel character at the time) and the WrestleMania 32 match with Ambrose.

Yeah, maybe he didn’t want to work the “hardcore,” brawler style with Dean and prefers technically performances more.

Sorry but 150 pound Balor vs. Brock is NOT convincigin at all. You want to book your product as more legit, Balor should be in 205. Because he doesn't even weigh that

It was all good until he started pussying away from Vince like a playground bully who’s just been caught by the Principal.
He should have flipped the limo over with Vince inside. THAT would have put him over as someone not to be f***ed with.
At Wrestlemania, do Strowman vs Shane in a Hardcore match. He’s not main eventing anyway so at least we would get a fun match out of him.

But if that happens, you would’ve had soooo many people chopping at the bit to say “FRESH START, A MCMAHON FEUD.” That and I just don’t want to see another Shane match at Mania sans winning those tag titles because both Miz and Shane are entertaining with this role.

Damn I just saw that clip of Braun flinching away from Vince, that's pretty bad. The promo last week didn't help either and there was no way he was going to beat Brock anyways, maybe he should go to Smackdown when they do the draft later this year.

Because he doesn't even weigh that Brock just had a believable and hard hitting match with Daniel Bryan 2 months ago. And it was his best match since his match with AJ Styles a year prior. I don't see the issue.

HE FLINCHED.
Good grief, I don't know if they booked him to do that or not, but either way it's so horribly stupid.
I watched that vid in the 1st post without sound, and even with sound nothing that could be said would make that ok.

Balor would not be the first small guy to whom Lesnar's dropped a strap, though it would be kind of funny for the Demon to drive down the ramp in a low-rider.
