Only thing that's stopping me booking up at the moment is doubts about going on my own this time and my mams failing health. Would probably be already paid up otherwise I reckon, New Orleans is on my list of places I want to do too. I'd probably do Ring of Honor and Progress if I was going this time round, give hall of fame and maybe NXT a miss. Might do Summerslam weekend in New York as an alternative.
Oh dear, I can imagine, I hope things work alright for her.
Totally agree. Only Austin and the Rock are comparable in that every single pair of eyes are on that ring when Brocks in there. Will be sorely missed when he leaves.
It would help if he still had his aura. All of his one-on-one defences have went exactly the same way this year. It's been an awful run (people forget that the Universal Championship is still barely a year old, and its been hardly seen)
That's how Vince wants you to feel about him. That way you'll be git chuffed when Reigns beats him at WrestleMania after kicking out of 4+ F5's and no-sells 20 German suplexes.
I've felt like that for about a year still the most idiotic decision they have ever taken.
I haven’t been into wrestling for donkeys years but feel I needed to butt in because sorry like, but you just can’t compare Brock to The Rock and Austin like
To be fair he is a great athlete and has great ability, but his character was compromised last year and all his achievements before or since was wiped out in moment.
100% This! I love how he made the fantastic decision to get beat in 86 seconds against Goldberg, I know people criticise and say that wasted all the heat he built up by ending Taker's streak, squashing Cena at Summerslam, legit concussing Orton etc, but it was an amazing moment that did not hurt his character at all. Yes I know he is supposed to be a monster, but he was caught off guard, he then did not make that mistake again, well he did at the Royal Rumble and then again at the go home show against Goldberg but on the whole he kept character and does not underestimate his opponents anymore, the story arc was perfect. Wait a minute, he was laughing and taking Joe very lightly but again I will overlook that. His matches are incredible, suplex suplex suplex etc. I know it does not make use of someone with more talent than that, however his monster character is perfect to put that kind of match on, just as long as he does not throw his aura in the bin and show vulnerability. Oh wait a minute that 86 seconds match did, well lets please forget that ever happened. He is over, people may argue it is because he only shows up once every month but he gets a pop nonetheless, it is strange that once he makes a few weeks in a row the fans start tapering off in their reactions to him, and after he beat Strowman the fans were pissed and bored of his whole act. But I disagree, the man is a monster and love that 86 seconds booking even if it does contradict every piece of booking they have done afterwards with him.
They are actually protecting this fact really well to be fair to WWE, Daniel Bryan promo this week pretty much said that he blows out of his arse these days but they made it sound really legit like a boxing fight as if AJ is going to drag Lesnar into deep water when he fatigues.

Like some of your thinking there even if it does not happen, I have been having similar thoughts with a Carmella cash in. Great call with the F5 spot, can see that happening a mile off in an absolute short shite match.
I agree, he is fantastic! Can't understand any criticism he gets or that the 86 seconds defeat last year was bad in anyway.
