Goldberg beats Taker? Brock cashes in on Kofi? Brock Vs Goldberg IV WWE relying on old 50 plus year dudes to carry their wrestling company in a sea of declining ratings, pessimistic attitudes from so many fans, and a rising competitor in AEW, I really wonder if Vince remembers what won him the Monday Night Wars the first time. I think Vince buys into his own BS about how he “killed” WCW rather than acknowledging that WCW put itself on life support and Time Warner pulled the plug.

I can accept, not like but accept, if Brock and Heyman come out tomorrow and basically say "Brock will face the champion, whoever that may be, at Summerslam" and while he'd probably f*** with Seth a bit by showing up around his matches, he'd remain true to his word and not cash in early. Then they do whatever bullshit contract signing with him surrendering the case, and ink the Summerslam match.
It's not exactly brilliant, but it'd make sense and the writing for it isn't exactly difficult.

Considering they haven’t officially announced it yet, they could have Brock do all that except to announce it for Super Showdown. Which...well, eww. But whatever.

I like how their answer for a young upstart company doing their first PPV next Sunday is to go “more Brock Lesnar! More old part timers!”

I mean you might feel bad just watching that match but imagine being Finn Balor's back!

Imagine telling the 7 actual participants "We need you to go out there and bust your asses then we'll send lesnar out in the last two minutes to win it."

The Jericho tweet with the 'guys who can still go match up' thread in wrest of wrestling reminded me that unless I've forgotten we've never had Brock/Jericho 1on1 have we? Looking unlikely we'll get it.
He put over Rollins fine at WM and that should really be his role now, imagine if he cashes in on Kofi and somehow Kofi retains. That would propel Kofi from 'thank you run' to permanent main eventer, Brock really needs to be wrestling on TV a bit more for him to fulfill this role.

I've just logged on and seen Brock got the briefcase. What the hell is going on?

Plans can always change as we know but we also should've seen this coming. A few days before the show it was reported that Brock would be challenging Seth for the universal title at super showdown.
This was reported by WrestleVotes who have gotten a few things right lately.

The idea of "OMG ratings suck, bring back Lesnar!" is essentially like saying the disease itself is the cure. Putting the title repeatedly on someone that is never around is Exhibit A in why ratings took a nosedive in the first place. Add to it that it's a guy that has scorched the earth with everyone when he is around and you have a roster of guys that mean nothing. Take a look at these rosters on Raw and SD right now. What is the endgame to either right now? What notable match can they even build to? I would have said AJ/Rollins but they simply gave that away at the earliest PPV opportunity. Rollins right now has the most heatless array of heels on earth to face, and I can't even think of a serious top heel Smackdown has for Kofi Kingston to face. That's why they go back to Lesnar. There's not much you can do when you have heels with absolutely no heat, but then it's impossible to get any heat when they go back to Lesnar all the time. It's a vicious cycle.

It's about time Brock had another title match. It's been too long.

This was reported by WrestleVotes who have gotten a few things right lately. If him winning the case is to set up that match at Super showdown,then that's much worse, because you wasted the case and made 7 other guys look like asses.
