I've had the fear about this since they mentioned the feud. It's an easy way to set up a return match, BUT let's not forget how shocking Lesnar is when he has to cut a promo in front of a crowd. Honestly, I think Heyman could really hurt Braun too.

Cena makes this point, indirectly, on the E&C podcast. They were discussing the failings of the current roster and Edge was going on about how the step from NJPW, ROH, TNA etc to WWE is massive, Cena chimes in with NXT too. Cena points out that it's all well and good getting over on such a show, driven towards that market, but WWE is marketed towards every dolt on earth. His point, being a wow and a whizz on NXT pretty much means nowt, long term. Sami Zayn is the best example. WWE haven't done him any favours, BUT, it's up to him to make the most of it (again, as Cena points out). Daniel Bryan is the best example ever of making the most of it, if he didn't he'd be another Dolph Ziggler.

I'll need to add the Lawler podcast to my weekly list. BTW, Cena is on the E&C podcast, this week. It's a good listen. Cena (and E&C) goes into quite a bit of detail on why so many of the current mob are failing to connect with us. Clearly not a fan of a chunk of the roster. He gives his take on the Reigns feud too.

Triple post, y'all

Indeed. They're paying £10M a year for it too. Very Amazon. I imagine they're just trying to grab as much live sport content as possible. NFL, Tennis and, apparently, they were interested in the IPL cricket rights. Easier than coming up with their own good telly show, I guess.

Live sport is definitely part of Amazon's new content plan. Last month they outbid Sky for the UK rights for the ATP Tour.

Big Ed Woodward has said Amazon and Facebook are probably going to be joining the bidding for the next round of PL rights, which opens at the end of the year. ££££££££££££ + ££££££££££ Amazon are apparently hitting the reset button on their streaming service. They were/are spending a fortune on original content, but it's yet to produce a big hit for them (both critically and commercially) - they received little in the way of Emmy noms, where as Netflix were all over it. Obviously, both companies have so much cash that both Sky and BT must have a bit of sweat on over the news.

I had no idea Lawler had a podcast. Generally, is it any good?

Nah, quite a few people aren't so keen, but when you think about it, this quite a compelling fight, Guy. Certainly, given the options of GSP v Woodley and Bisping v Whittaker, it's the more intriguing match up, because I think both of them probably end up getting smashed by their respective opponents. Frankly, ever since the Yoel fight was off the table for Bisping, this is the only match I want to see him in. With this match up there are so many questions, which makes it a great "we'll see what happens" fight. Give me this over Bisping trying to claw some personality out of the drab killer that is Whittaker.

Pretty mental how resilient Flair is. As an aside, his much anticipated 30 for 30 is released on November 7th. A fucking WOOO!

If they stacked the card, sure. The UFC are always hesitant about doing such shows, though, unless it's a sure thing (GSP in Canada or Brock v Fedor). Didn't the Bisping v Hendo 2 sell out quick fast?

"...and to top it all off, I'm the Weasel doing commentary with a Gorilla! Damn!". Perfect line to end it.

And with that, life became a little bleaker. I just hope he loses his mind again and decides Miller is a bit of a shitter, so takes over.

100%. Reigns was on fire during the 'Taker feud, where he was allowed to play up to the boos; it's the best and coolest version of solo Reigns. I'm still annoyed they didn't go all the way the moment they heard the HEAT he received the night after 'Mania. To hell with this half-hearted tweener bollocks. I'm still (foolishly) hopeful Cena exposing him so badly is part of Vince's grand plan of turning him in the near future. Otherwise, they've had another brilliant year making a complete balls up of their 'new' top babyface. In a better world, a heel version of The Shield reunite to batter Cena into an extended sabbatical. Or Reigns teases a Shield reunion, only to batter the pair of them. Plus, who better to take down a monster like Braun than The Shield. They can even do a Monster Powers tag team with Lesnar/Braun v The Shield - the possibilities are endless. Vince just needs to stop being such a stubborn tit about it.
