Money In The Bank Is This Sunday On The WWE Network


Recommended Posts

Its been said before. Vince will never die. Even when he does his head will be re-animated and put in a jar and mounted in a 'Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'-esque body and still field board meetings and turn up on TV when he feels the ratings needs a boost etc.

I just don't know how to feel about Brock. On one hand, I'm a big fan. I know a lot of people hate his matches and the suplex-suplex-F5 formula, but I've always enjoyed them as something different in the mix. I'm generally happy to watch him and have him around. But that's the problem, isn't it? He's never around. He's a part-timer presented as a full-timer and it just hurts the weekly show. Even if you believe the "he's their only star" stuff, you'd be hard pressed to say Raw didn't suffer notably during his last title reign. I mean, what, pray tell, is the point of having a star if you're forced to spend 90% of the time lamenting the limits of their contribution? He's basically Mesut Ozil. It's absolutely fair to question whether his presence is a hindrance to the club overall, regardless of individual talent and value.

I'm quite happy for Bayley. Her post-match celebrations with the fans were actually my favourite part of the show.

It's a double edged sword because there's no denying Brock Lesnar is a bigger star and looks more the part than anyone else they have on their roster so it completely makes sense he's champ, but then he's never around so you potentially make an already stale product more stale with him on top as challenger or champion. 
Fair fucks to him though for doing better than anyone there and working about 10 minutes a year.

This is no coincidence - if he had the amount of screen time most of the roster have he'd have a fraction of the appeal he does now. 

I watched an Arn Anderson promo the other day that's a couple of minutes in length. It was gripping and it built up so much intrigue and anticipation for the angle, even watching it out of context. I can't imagine he'd have done that had he opened up an episode of Raw and tried stretching it out for 20 minutes.

Finished watching this just now. I think I’d have quite enjoyed the Brock surprise had I not had it spoiled in that Stupid Spot thread.

About 2 years of the Cruiserweight Championship being a nailed-on fixture for the pre-show, including the last 6 months or so of it being around the waist of the brilliant Buddy Murphy.

Nese vs Daivari - get it on the main card!
