Scandale du Jour

Again. It should be Bray who beats Lesnar.
BRay should have been the one to take the Streak.
Again. It should be Bray who beats Lesnar.
Two potential scenarios:
A) Orton beats Lesnar. The WWE's biggest draw loses. He loses to Orton of all people and thus loses his aura of invincibility, which is a big reason for his drawing power in the first place. The Lesnar rub is wasted after more than 2 years of build. No new star is createdd. All just to punish the guy for a failed drug test. And he loses to a guy who failed at least one drug test in the past.
B) Lesnar beats Orton after a 30 day suspension.
Can you explain how B is worse than A for WWE?
I bet even if you asked other WWE wrestlers, they would still want Lesnar to win.
BRay should have been the one to take the Streak.
Bray shoudn't have, lesnar shouldn't have. Nobody should have. If HBK couldn't do it, no one should.
but i'm sure people will disagree.
because
A) You clearly underestimate it being "just a failed drug test" this is literally career altering stuff. Just look at a guy like A-Rod. It's not just a silly slap on the wrist. It's a slap in the face for both the UFC and the WWE. Even if WWE didn't test him because of being a part-timer, obviously they expected lesnar to respect the fact that he's employed with them.
B) Serving a 30 day suspension doesn't do anything especially considering how lesnar shows up like once every 3 months to begin with. Disrepecting your company, sitting out an extra 30 days and coming back to continue your win streak is NOT punishment.
I don't know what kind of bosses you work for but a slap on the wrist is not how you dish out punishment to teach people a lesson.

If they let Lesnar wrestle without a suspension, their wellness policy becomes a joke in the public domain. Plain and simple.
I agree. For a number of reasons they never should of broke it.

i agree as well, he should have retired as Survivor Series a few years back would have been a cool way to go out and still do it "going out on your back"
I don't really care one way or the other how Vince wants to punish Brock. I'm sure it'll be something but I doubt it's going to be in the way of losing to someone like Orton. Brock really doesn't care about the wins and losses in WWE. The only way that you're ever going to make it hurt for Lesnar is by fining him but whether that would actually get done is a different question since he never violated anything with WWE at this point. So if Brock really wanted to push back to save himself that fine, he probably could sue to prevent that.
Just because he doesn't care about wins and losses doesn't mean who won't care about HOW he loses. All you have to do is picture orton having his way with lesnar the entire match like how lesnar did vs cena to win the belt. Just slaps him around all match and then once brock goes for an F5, Orton hits the rko as a reversal.
I'm sure brock won't be very happy about being made look like a little weakling on PPV.
But then the wrestlers die. And I do have a problem with that.Playing devil's advocate, if a wrestler wants to use juice it's not really a huge deal. They know the risks and there is not any sort of competitive integrity to maintain. Obviously, they have to test wrestlers and suspend them after the scandal in the early 90's, but I still don't think it's a huge deal.
I'd bet some form or another of ped's is still very common in the locker room. I doubt they punish Brock in any way and that's fine by me.

How the hell is Brock their most valuable product at this point when he hardly ever shows up and isn't even a champion or in the hunt for a belt? He's no better than a side show act now.
Honestly, I don't think Brock gives a rat's ass how it looks. He just cares about the money. That's not going to change regardless of what happens with Orton.
Because he is the best product they have to sell. He is the best attraction they have. When you talk about who would people pay to see he is the top of the list.
Thus why he can be in the position of only working so sporadically, because he has the power to do so.
Brock doesn't need to be in the hunt for the belt, he is above the belt at this point.
