And before Braun Strowman was a Choo-Choo train.
Which was a good gimmick for him. Trains are often late.

All that investment in a bunch of guys who aren't even in the company 2 years later.

For what it's worth, I know that show rightfully gets overshadowed by the plane incident but I actually thought Tyson did a good job.

Man, the stuff that closed out the 2010s, let alone 2019. Aside from good things like Survivor Series, there sure were some rough spots. Seth's face run went down the tubes, stuff like this with Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury joining WWE. It was a weird time.

Imagine signing someone for seemingly the sole reason of Brock getting his worked win back from a shoot fight

Imagine signing someone for seemingly the sole reason of Brock getting his worked win back from a shoot fight I guess we can call it the "Hogan Rule"? Except he waited 8 years, until he could bait Warrior to join WCW so he could pin him and get HIS win back.

Fury vs Strowman was better than it had any right to be.

Rey could really have used Cain’s help lately, where tf has he been?

Imagine signing someone for seemingly the sole reason of Brock getting his worked win back from a shoot fight It reminds me of when Brock's UFC return got overturned for steroids, and to make him seem more badass in his Summerslam match against Orton they ran a worked shoot program where he started busting Orton open with elbows for no good reason, concussed him, and didn't tell anyoner about it so even the wrestlers assumed Brock was shooting. All to establish his badass cred. For some reason Vince goes through weird hoops to make Brock look good.

Cain was not impressive at all.
Fury I thought looked great. He’s supposedly going to come back one day to fight Drew, but we’ll see if that ever happens. His next fight is July 24th, so he conceivably could wrestle at SummerSlam if they wanted to add some celebrity involvement beyond the rumored host.

Was Fury supposed to be anything more than a one-off?
Cain, I think, was injured and didn't look great in ring or physically in general. I think if the pandemic wouldn't have happened, that he would've left, healed up, got in better shape, and come back though.

How does that help anyone? and later they ahd the worked shoot thing that no one saw until like a 24 special where Brock tossed the title at Vince and walked out... or something

I was so pissed at how Kofi's title reign ended that I took a month or two off from watching. Missed this whole deal.
