Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think it's bullshit. That reddit user has one post here http://www.reddit.com/user/TheMaskedLuchaand was supposedly in communication with the /r/SquaredCircle mods six hours ago about "verifying" his identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 I hope its true. I prefer gossip to actual wrestling these days. Punk was far more interesting to me in 2014 than he was in 2013. I'm basically the wrestling fan version of Norris off Corrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 Has a bit of everything that story doesn't it. Vince being a proper villain complicent with steroid use and backing his "boy", Brock white knighting how popular Bryan is. A secret informer from the *inside*. Â Absolute bollocks mind, but a well put together narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Absolute bollocks mind, but a well put together narrative. Â What's also a nice touch is he white-knights Cena too, so it doesn't sound too smarky. Â The UFC/steroids thing sounds like it could be legit, especially with all the problems the UFC have had recently. Not saying the above article is true, but I'd imagine the UFC would be a bit paranoid about PEDs right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 It worryingly does add up, doesn't it? Perfectly reasonable explanation for Brock going spare. IF this is true, then the wise move would be to chuck Bryan in the main. They're fortunate that it's a viable plan b. Whatever they do, keep Brock on board- it's a disaster if he misses the show, not Reigns. Take him off of Mania. Â It might hinder his monster push, but hey, that's his own doing. They could get awful PR for keeping him in the main. Then they can try and continue his push as soon as his suspension is up and once Mania has blown over.

MVP RULZ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I can't see anyway they backtrack now and put Bryan in, he lost at the Rumble and lost fair and square at Fastlane, The only Plan B at this stage I can see is Rollins announcing he wll cash in at Mania and make it a triple threat that way. Â Orton and Rollins isn't officially announced yet despite it obviously heading that way so wouldn't have to hastly cancel that, not sure where theat would leave Orton but that is another issue. Â I still say its all crap thouhg, wasn't Lesnar issue business and not creative anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well, his reasoning for being pissed at the supposed drug test fail is that it might affect him possibly going back to the UFC, so that's business. Not creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not creative. Â Can't see anyway a Reigns failed test would affect Lesnar anyway in any talks he has with UFC from here on out. Â Sorry Brock your opponent failed a drug test, we are gonna knock a couple of 0's of your deal now, Brock going back to UFC would be huge they know that, he knows that one failed Reigns test wont change that in the slightest.

Glass Smash Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It really sounded like Brock tried to use this as an excuse to change his opponent for Mania but Vince wasn't gonna bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015  Well, his reasoning for being pissed at the supposed drug test fail is that it might affect him possibly going back to the UFC, so that's business. Not creative.  Can't see anyway a Reigns failed test would affect Lesnar anyway in any talks he has with UFC from here on out.  Sorry Brock your opponent failed a drug test, we are gonna knock a couple of 0's of your deal now, Brock going back to UFC would be huge they know that, he knows that one failed Reigns test wont change that in the slightest.   The whole thing is probably bullshit, I'm just saying that's the reasoning that's been put forward. Plus, with all the UFC fighters getting popped for PEDs recently, it's not that far fetched that Brock wouldn't want anything to do with Reigns if he's failed a test and it's then covered up and eventually comes out. It really sounded like Brock tried to use this as an excuse to change his opponent for Mania but Vince wasn't gonna bite.  No, because that's creative and as others have mentioned, Brock doesn't really give a fuck who he faces as long as he gets paid, from a creative standpoint.

neil is brill Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I dunno how they'd get to this, but if it's true that Reigns has failed the wellness tests, since it might be our last opportunity to see it, I'd love for them to go with Lesnar vs. Orton. Â Not sure if it screams "WRESTLEMANIA MAIN EVENT" but it's one of the few top tier matches left. Orton could win, Rollins to cash-in to keep their rivalry alive, and set up their summer programme.

Glass Smash Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If it became common knowledge that Reigns failed a drug test and Vince does nothing about it, then surely they are just inviting the media to piss all over the WWE once again.

neil is brill Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 How would Lesnar know that Reigns failed anyway? Â Surely if that was the case, Vince, HHH, Steph and Reigns would be the only people who'd know, especially if Reigns isn't being suspended. I can't really imagine any of them would go blabbing.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I get the impression that Reigns would serve a 30 day suspension as standard, which ends just before Mania. Hence how Vince can justify having him at WrestleMania and also hence why Brock would be informed of the said failed drug test. Â Edit- when I say I get the impression, I'm sure that's what the guy said on reddit in the initial post Edited February 25, 2015 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
