This is my worry. There's no reason that, in Brock's absence, they couldn't have elevated the Intercontinental Title, or made other people feel significant. But they tend to feel important for a month or two, before falling into the pattern of having to wrestle every week and eroding whatever makes seeing them exciting. Having a champion on TV isn't going to make those shows feel important, it just means the guy cutting a 20 minute promo at the top of the show, and wrestling in a handicap match in the main event, will be wearing a title belt. 52 minutes ago, WyattSheepMask said: Thats not to say that there shouldn’t be references to him or video packages of him training or something like that on the show This is key, and something WWE have got phenomenally wrong. The problem isn't that Brock's not there, it's that you forget Brock even exists unless he's building to a match that month. People always point to Hogan not wrestling on TV, but the WWF in the '80s and early '90s never let you forget that Hogan was the star, whether he was there or not.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2019 OK, so what alternatives are there currently available to Brock as Champion and doing the same shit he's been doing for years? Because I'm at a loss. I think they just have to pick someone and go all in on them because with no one winning the main belt for the past few years it has really stagnated the upper end of the Raw roster. And they seem unable to book many interesting storylines that don't revolve around title belts so they might as well just go for it with someone. Brock's run isn't helping anyone.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted March 19, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2019 So Elias’ big plan for WrestleMania is to do a concert uninterrupted. Didn’t he manage that three times at Fastlane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given neither has a match, but at least one of them is likely to make an appearance on the show I could see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't hype it as "uninterrupted" and then have it go uninterrupted. What I meant was them making a big deal of him always being interrupted, when just over a week ago he managed three songs without a single interruption.

Sorry HG, should have clarified I wasn't querying your point, you're 100% spot on there considering what happened at Fastlane. Just thinking aloud on who might be interrupting him. I imagine The Rock is another contender actually, schedule allowing. Edited March 19, 2019 by mim731 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2019 A Rock concert would be a great way of getting Rock on there, giving something for Elias to do, without the insurance people pulling their hair out. No way Angle and Corbin is the final match. Hopefully Big match John gets the nod. The audience certainly made that known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2019 Announcing Baron Corbin as Angles opponent was the biggest disappointment on Raw since Fake Diesel and Razor showed up. That cannot be the final match listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It feels so tone deaf that I'm afraid they really ARE going with Angle v Corbin.  It's been great to see Kurt back in WWE these last few years, but I'm glad he's retiring.  He looked absolutely knackered in that match with Chad Gable.  Age and injuries has caught up with him in a BIG way in the last couple of years. Still, his match was better than Elias v José.  Wow, that was bad.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm not surprised it's Corbin, they really haven't prioritised Angle in-ring in anyway whatsoever since his return, so using him to put Corbin over for the post-Mania rumoured feud with Roman is right up their alley.

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've no doubt whatsoever that they're serious in announcing Corbin as Angle's opponent. The way he's pushed and presented, you can tell they think he's over as a heel, unable to differentiate between proper heat and, "oh, just fuck off," heat. Check out Kurt having to practically apologise for it on Instagram after the backlash!   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
