The f*** does Brock even bring to the scene at this point, his schtick is old, boring and lazy. Man vanishes half a year to come back and suplex a dude for ten minutes and then goes home.
There's also the more serious fact that Brock's under litigation in a sexual misconduct lawsuit.
Why. Just, why.

The absolute deliberate way they announced they're not doing post-show scrums/pressers anymore right before this dropped tells you all you need to know about how much they KNOW this is wrong, but they're just doing it anyway The company can take the Vince out of it, but they actually really can't. You can take out the physical body, but taking out the long-term effects of his influence is a whole different issue. I doubt they even think it's an issue. |

I'll just say this much and I'm not going to comment either way on this:
I guess we should have expected it with the amount of his matches that were on the YouTube SummerSlam countdown.

I just don't get it man.
Like we're not waiting to find out if he did something gross, the informations out there. We KNOW HE DID ALREADY.
This is as close as my WWE fandom has ever been to being over. I really have to think about it I can feel comfortable supporting them after this.
If you're a woman backstage in this company you have a coworker who is fine with you being trafficked to him. f***ing wild.

Only Triple H can have something bad happen on his show and have people figure it’s not has fault lol. This is the kind of guy he is! He shows you all the time! You keep forgetting the golden rule: If something good happens in WWE, it's all cause of Jesus Hunter Christ. If something bad happens in WWE, it's not at all Hunter's fault and it's the fault of that guy. What guy? THAT GUY. *points to a random person in catering* Nobody says this dude. This is a very shitty situation. No doubt about it. |

Thing liked happens: “man, Triple H is so good at this. I’m glad he’s the guy running things now.” Thing not liked happens: “clearly the man has no say in this, he must have been forced into this.” Triple H later says he’s behind and supports the decision: *silence.* The plausible deniability gets harder and harder every day. |

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t freak out at Brock’s theme playing just out of pure WTF. However, I don’t think this is a good idea while there’s still an active lawsuit going on that Brock’s involved in. If the case was wrapped up and he was cleared then whatever. While the case is still ongoing? Bad optics all round. And even taking away the lawsuit, does WWE even need Brock at this point? By the time he got blacklisted really all he had left to do was the Gunther match, and I can’t say I was clamouring for one of Cena’s last matches to be with Brock. Can totally understand why people are pissed though. Just not a very good look at all on WWE’s part. I didn’t think WWE would be this f***ing stupid to shoot their own foot especially with the company they’ve been actively counterprogramming for months in a current boom period. |

When none of the higher ups named in the lawsuit were penalized whatsoever at the time it came out and even to this very day, that tells you all you need to know that WWE is the same WWE. |

Let's also be clear. If you like Triple H's booking cool whatever no judgement there even if it's not for me most of the time, but he absolutely has no issue with Brock coming back Yeah this at the very least. May not have been his call. But he has no problem going with what the company wants. He didn't do that begrunginly. |

I don't want to shit on someone for blocking me because by all means curate your internet space or whatever but to actually go "Show me evidence--actually don't, I don't want to be proven wrong" is some baby shit. And please have that be your only comment on another poster in that manner in this thread. We've already started handing out suspensions from this topic for people being antagonistic to other posters that are angry about this, we don't want it to escalate to the point of more of those or outright bannings. Just saying, what was being given outside of the Dream stuff wasn't really evidence that he was there of HIS call and HIS call alone or that Lesnar returning was HIS call and HIS call alone. But arguing it would have not been worth it. |

I have to assume Brock is going to get out of the lawsuit/not be found guilty of anything whatever etc or they wouldn't bring him back. Right?!?

Well that settles it for me. I'm not giving WWE/TKO a single dime. Come to think of it, I never really have other than paying for Netflix to watch RAW for a few months.
The silver lining is that it will not be wine and roses forever for WWE/TKO.

The influence which, HHH was a part of for a solid 30 years HHH was never going to be the endearing figure to move WWE forward, especially with who we saw him defend and try and keep on the roster even when he just booked NXT! He has never been one to care about character, or drama, or controversies for a wrestler, and any time he's ever been pressed about it he's turned into a giant pissy baby. It's been an issue with WWE for awhile, and this is probably the straw that broke the camel's back for many people. |

I normally get a bit of a rush when Brock comes back as he has a monster aura no one has ever matched.
But bringing him back now? No.
Even if it turns out that he’s completely and totally innocent of any of the accusations. Coming back now? Not a good look.

I would have been happy not to see Brock again. He seems like a scummy person, whatever happens with lawsuit. Kinda crazy they bought him back while it’s still ongoing. It isn’t a good look.
Maybe I’m just immune to scummy people being involved in wrestling, so it doesn’t get an intense reaction from me like it does some people.

There's some dark shit going on in this company still, maybe not as bad as it was and they were very good at hiding it behind the shiny happy new times. The mask is off now and it's f***ing awful.
