MVP RULZ Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016  Randy Orton, who has proven to be the anti draw several timea, as the man in the main match is odd. Does he go over or not? It might make him seem something, but he's never actually moved the needle. Most awesomely shown when Mark Henry beat him and really drove Smackdowns numbers as the top guy.  Just seems a waste of a Lesnar appearance The problem is who should Lesnar be fighting? Orton is the only high profile wrestler for him to fight at Summerslam. The likes of Owens and Rusev are nowhere near his level, and Styles is still busy with Cena (and is now on Smackdown).   So is Orton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 When is Lesnar going to be used to out someone over? Like a rising star? No point paying him so much to go over existing stars. Still waiting on the rub from ending the streak being passed onWell the plan for that got fucked at WrestleMania 31. At this point, too much time has passed and there's nobody in the position to do it anyway. I suppose we might see Balor beat him at WrestleMania.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 31, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) To be honest, Lesnar's a waste of money himself. "Legitimacy" via a drug cheat who while is a massive draw in MMA is not one in Pro Wrestling who's deal works out at something like $250,000 every time his face shows on WWE TV or PPV. Maybe more. $5m a year, and I think I'm being very generous with 20 appearances a year. Â Hogan in WCW would have fucking killed for that schedule on that per appearance rate. Hogan. Fucking Hogan, on a Bischoff deal! On less! Edited July 31, 2016 by PowerButchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2016 On less 20 years ago. With inflation Hogan's on $10m a year these days, easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm not saying it would draw, but I feel like the natural opponent for Brock is Samoa Joe. After a shaky start in NXT he's really started delivering this past year and any Monday that he's not on RAW being built up for Lesnar feels like a complete waste.

Undefeated Steak Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Agree with Supremo re Brock vs Joe. I'm not against a Lesnar vs Orton match, just feels a bit flat. Mental to think how much heat Lesnar's lost since he came off that Undertaker win and Cena massacre. Â I still think seeing Lesnar staring across the ring at a cocky, smirking Nakamura would make a great visual.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted July 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2016 Lesnar vs Nakamura is the match I want to see more than anything else that WWE could put together with their rosters. I'd love to get that for WrestleMania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Don't knock the upcoming Lesnar V Orton match. Chances are Randy will be back on the injured list from the 22nd August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffbag Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yeahhhh I can easily see now that you say that weeks of Jericho going "they don't like you, huh Reigns? you're not the guy you were meant to be, huh Reigns? you angry, Reigns? You angry?" as most of the crowd continue to piss on Reigns and cheer Jericho. That just makes me think of Stewie in Family guy asking Brian about writing his book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philjax Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Does Neville meet the 205lb criteria for the cruiserweight division? I'd like to see that get going tonight. Bit of a long shot but seeing as some members of the CWC have already signed or turned up elsewhere maybe some of them might turn up on Raw in a cruiser jobber role? Or someone who isn't in the CWC...... Â Going forward though to not have Ibushi, Gran Metalik, Itami, Kendrick or Tajiri among others on the roster would be a travesty.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 1, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2016 Does the division have that weight limit, or is it just the CWC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2016 They haven't said. In fact, I don't think they've even mentioned it since Steph revealed Raw would have a cruiserweight division the night before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Depends how he watched it. Was it shown on the 2 hour edit? Or he might have fast forwarded through it thinking it was a break, or perhaps because loads happened last week he forgot a small video? There's several reasonable explanations he wouldn't have seen or remembered it which are acceptable if you're not arsey or anal about it.
