Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 16 Paid Members Share Posted October 16 Why does anyone even want him back? Ignoring all the awful, awful stuff - he's been doing the same shit for years. Isn't everyone bored of it yet? What's left for him to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTwoster Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 According to Sean Ross Sapp, there are no plans to bring Lesnar back, and he’s been out of their plans since being named in the McMahon lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the big story he had coming?? Something we've all known since the Rumble when he was pulled from that event and removed from the Video Game. And aside from people jumping onto a mention of his name nothing has ever indicated he was coming back soon has it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made reference to a beast a few times on Raw this week as well apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted October 16 Paid Members Share Posted October 16 Well I for one don’t think they did anywhere near enough Roman vs. Brock matches. They had at least four or five Wrestlemanias left in the chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea obviously, but part of me wonders whether they chucked in some references to test the water and realised it was a bit warm still so are backing off. Or, all these websites make shite up. Either way, I don't think they mention things on the TV shows accidentally - especially when those things have such a close proximity to the Vince case. So something is (or was) going on. Edited October 17 by d-d-d-dAz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem like something sensible given all the coin they are making currently, and given that the new owners are all about the money it doesn't sound like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, these fucking idiots on social media need eliminating. Was reading some stuff on the Kevin Kelly lawsuit against AEW yesterday. The number of people who take offence to the fact that WWE, and to a lesser extent AEW, might have to pay people as employees is unbelievable (and yet, completely believable). It's not your company. You've no skin in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need him. They've mostly been able to fly under the radar as a company and continue being successful despite negative things floating around. They've actually been pretty lucky. There's no reason why they should want to poke the bear. Obviously if Vince was in charge he just wouldn't give a shit and think he's above everything, but they've got different people in charge now who seem a little more business savvy rather than being focused on being a singular power hungry pervert.

He's just won a match. And then.. BWAOAOAOAOOAOAOAOOAAAAOOOOO (yes, that's Lesnar's opening noise, shut up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s also not just the mainstream media looking into this anymore, there’s a federal investigation. Mainstream media will mention it in passing but it will never be 'Breaking news' on any mainstream news channels like it would be were it football or Hollywood etc. Wrestling exists in its own little world. Occasionally it permeates into the mainstream but it is usually very fleeting and then it is left to its own devices for years. Wrestling has always held a unique position within society as very much existing whilst also being totally separate to social norms and rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
