This is the modern day version of WCW signing Warrior. They brought a guy in and had no idea what to do with him other than let someone get a win back, except in this case it's even more absurd since it is Lesnar getting a fake win back from a legit loss. I'd say it's more like WCW signing Tank Abbot and then proceeding to do nothing with him for months until Russo wanted to hotshot the belt on him only to be vetoed. And at least WCW eventually turned Tank Abbot into an enjoyable character by making him a boy band groupie.

Tiny Lister's entire fictional fight record has to be pretty anemic. He even backed down from Aunt Viv pretty quickly On the other hand, he did foil Heath Ledger Joker's dual bomb plot pretty effectively.

I legit hate that Kofi's run was ruined for... that. On the other hand, Cain probably got a hell of a payday and his knee fixed for free just for losing a fake fight to a guy he already beat in a real one. Say what you will about guys like Brock, Cain, Goldberg, etc. but I love it any time Vince takes a bath and the talent get to take the money and run. I feel the same way but I prefer when it's actual wrestling talent that deserves it and have put years of hard work in. Not pieces of s*** like Brock and Goldberg.

Leave the memories alone. Remember when Rey peed his pants and cried, and cried, and hid behind Cain crying and screaming in terror? Crying and squealing, defecating himself out of fear. Sure made Rey look good. Wait, what? Please tell me this didn't actually happen. Rey Mysterio one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling peed himself out of fear and hid behind Caine Velazquez for protection? He also hid from Brock behind the leg of his own son several times.

So the reign of Cain was so plain, yet met with disdain?

I don't think OP is at all fair. Silent farts at least leave some sort of smell that reminds you they are there. Silent, but deadly is a scientific fact. For Cain to come and go like a silent fart, he'd have to have actually made a lasting impression and until today, I forgot he even was signed to WWE.

Cain signing led to the end of Kofi's title reign for a match with Brock that in no way needed a title. If that's not apropos to a silent but deadly fart, I dunno what to tell you.

I know injuries and all, but way to make Kofi look like a complete bitch for absolutely nothing. All he did was job to Lesnar. This really is some straight up WCW shit.

I didn't care for him at all when he showed up, but I respect him for at least wanting to wrestle a different style. Let's never do this bullshit again though, k?

Who thought making Rey Mysterio a mouthpiece for somebody was a good idea?

Who thought making Rey Mysterio a mouthpiece for somebody was a good idea? Rey's got Mexican heritage, Cain's got Mexican heritage. That's all Vince really needs, whether Rey is a good mouthpeice or not, because Mexican.
