Is Brock as champ really a good thing?

[t4terrific]

A babyface World Heavyweight Champion hiding from Kane and running away from him is big time lame.

Bryan's career should have ended the Monday after Wrestlemania.

For me, this is a good thing. Normally, I don't agree with part timers walking in and taking the championship....but Brock just beat Taker.....He killed Cena....it's different and entertaining. I like it so far.

I can roll with different.

You look at the timeline and it doesn't seem all that awful.

Hell in a Cell doesn't need the champ to draw, there's a lot more appeal In Rollins vs Ambrose in the cell. Combine that with a Reigns match and a Cena match to round out the top 3 and the should-be-solid undercards of WWE and you have something. Survivor Series can have a traditional tag main event, and hopefully they can make whatever feud Reigns is in hot enough for him to ME TLC before the Rumble main events at RR and we don't have to see Lesnar again until the Chamber.

I don't give a rat's ass about house shows, the logo sells the tickets.

Agreed on the house shows, Rain. I'm yet to see someone who goes "not going to the house show tonight, title not on the line". Like anyone expected it to change hands 1:

I've brought an idea to Lockard that Lesnar could have kept the strap until Elimination Chamber.
This was actually in the Bryan/Lesnar Summerslam thread. It's true, it is filler time in WWE at the moment.
Nobody truly remembers what happens September thru December largely as buy rates generally dip a tad.

This may have been why the Rock reign was sh*t on. He held it during prime months.
I disagree with your assessment with house show. You may not care for them and that's cool. I believe Lesnar should make 7 dates a month.

 

[seabs]

Does anyone have the house show attendances during Rock's reign? Did they change much or at all?

 

[Red Rain]

Somebody said the gates didn't change at all.

So does it really matter if Brock doesn't do House Shows?

If that is what you take from it, then no, it does not matter,

What other reason is there for him being a 7 shows a month then? I'm a huge advocate of keeping the champ on a limited schedule for many reasons (you can give the mid card / tag spots main event exposure 2 /3 times a month making them feel special and increase hype for seeing a title match / even the Champ's appearance a world title showing should be a big deal not something you get every week IMO)

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

I think Brock being champion for now is a pretty good thing, don't really have any specific reasons other than I'd rather not see Cena or Orton hold the belt again for awhile.

 

[edge4ever]

I feel that as long as Brock performs every 2 weeks on Raw and every PPV....I'll be fine with that. I would like if he makes an appearance on Raw, nearly every week if possible. He doesn't need to make house shows unless he's warming up for a match with someone at an upcoming PPV. Like a week prior to their match would make sense.

As I said earlier, normally I don't support Part Timers taking the championship.....But in Brock's case, it's kind of needed as he did just end Taker's Streak.

Thus far, they've made the start of Brock's reign awesome.

 

[Majour]

I guess Lesnar being champ is the lesser of two evils. Whilst the idea of him holding the belt really pisses me off, there's nobody on the roster that I'd want to see as champion right now. I don't want to see Orton or Cena have the belt again and I know that they're pushing Reigns to eventually take the belt, but at the moment he's nowhere close to good enough as far as I'm concerned.

Except for the part about nobody on the roster that I want to see as champion right now... :sandow:.. this is exactly how I feel.
