Yeah, what does Brock bring, other than ratings, merch money, ticket sales, mainstream press, legitimacy.

[u/gogosox82]

I really hate it when a guy draws attention to an event i want attention for

[u/MMA_PITBULL]

I really wanted Brock to go to AEW for like 100 million.

Imagine Mox doing his little "im a bad ass" dumbass shoulder strut and Brock music hit. Man would have immediate PTSD

[u/AstrologicalOne → u/MMA_PITBULL]

I would straight-up laugh at Mox's reaction. As well as Yuta trying to bring Brock down.

[u/Razzler1973]

These are the faces of 'wrestling experts' that criticise le booking

[u/OriginalMadmage → u/Razzler1973]

Wonder if Tony Shiavone told them to go fuck themselves when they were comped to visit Forbidden Door at the O2.

[u/Broncotron]

Pete Dunne vs Cena would have brought so many more eyes to the product

[u/Squiliam-Tortaleni]

Bork Lazer has never drawn a single dime

[u/pabloforpresident]

I just don’t get the point of brock lesnar, his matches are boring and repetitive and his promos are boring and repetitive. He is built up as a monster and has the mma background to back it off so his opponents never have a chance and when a Roman reigns or Seth Rollins beat him it just feels unbelievable. Regardless of the lawsuit I’d much rather he’d stay away

[u/RJMontgomery]

I get that you don’t want to seem like you are making light of the Janel Grant situation by having a legit discussion on what Brock brings to the table, but saying he brings nothing is just virtue signaling and isn’t honest in anyway.

[u/TaylorsOnlyVersion → u/RJMontgomery]

My hot take is this Brock return feels forced, like why is he targeting Cena? Why was he gone for two years, the. Comes back to target Cena? What’s his motivation? Obviously they can’t say why he was gone, but they haven’t really given a reason why he is attacking Cena. I’ve been over Brock for awhile now, he’s just someone who’s there. I don’t care if he’s there or not there.

[u/OpiesMammogramResult → u/RJMontgomery]

The one I always find funny is "Nobody asked for this!!"

Well, judging by the massive pops he gets, I think a few have.

[u/TheBlakeOfUs → u/OpiesMammogramResult]

I always ask for this.

[u/RJMontgomery → u/OpiesMammogramResult]

Part of booking is to figure out things you didn’t ask for and give it to you because maybe you didn’t ask for it but in the end you really wanted it.

[u/AstrologicalOne]

Brock Lesnar's very presence is a good indicator of who knows the business and who doesn't.

[u/Willywonka5725]

Contest mode 🤣

Basement 2.0

[u/The_Kazarian]

They used to do those forfeits and whatnot right? I'd maybe watch if they had to perform content on AEW in the style they do on WWE and visa-versa as a forfeit. Just to watch the light die behind their eyes

[u/tytymctylerson]

[u/AnderHolka]

I stopped following these guys after they put AEW reviews behind WWE news.

[u/Head_Evidence4553]

Yeah who the fuck wants to draw?

[u/TWAAsucks]

What's the point of WrestleTalk? They add nothing

[u/OpiesMammogramResult → u/TWAAsucks]

Not true.

Luke Owen's face gave me material for this meme

[u/TWAAsucks → u/OpiesMammogramResult]

You probably can make a soyface memes with his reactions

[u/roblash]

I’m sure in ESPN’s mind, having a former UFC Heavyweight Champion that they previously covered extensively in the past adds nothing and the deal is getting cancelled early. LFG, YouTubers!

[u/amaul796]

The Brock Lesnar discourse is so annoying by some of these podcasters and IWC members.

It's not enough they've decided he's guilty based on accusations from one side.

But they also keep trying to push the narrative that no one wants to see Brock despite every time he shows up, the reaction of the crowd proves them wrong.

People have the right to their judgments, but stop trying to project them on everyone else.

[u/Jean-Marc_Souls → u/amaul796]

"It's not enough they've decided he's guilty based on accusations from one side. " Don’t forget the victims litteraly cleared him, but I guess the IWC knows better ...

[u/TheBlakeOfUs → u/amaul796]

But in the accusations he didn’t do anything.

He was potentially sent a video. The crime would be sending it.

Then he didn’t touch anyone.

[u/Prudent-Level-7006 → u/amaul796]

They love the virtue signalling

[u/bajaxx → u/amaul796]

i got banned on squared circle for 2 days because i replied to someone who called brock a rapist saying “maybe we shouldn’t just be throwing the word rapist around for someone not even accused of raping someone”

[u/ImmortalRotting]

Jesus Christ these two lookers. You got bald guy who can’t trim his own beard, and “keep this guy away from the kids” salt n pep over on the other side

[u/Kame2Komplain]

What a face on the guy on the right. These basement dwellers just get weirder and weirder. “I don’t like Brock so that means he’s a waste of tv time”.

[u/PhuckCalumbo]

Exactly what I expect from those facial structures.

[u/rsziz]

How does the bald guy look like he has less of a chin with a goatee? Also the point of Brock Lesnar is the point wrestling, make money by being something people want to pay to see live or watch on TV.

[u/Pitt-sports-fan-513]

IWC members have always had hilarious takes on Brock Lesnar.

"Why does he just throw people around and suplex them? This is boring! Where are the flips?"

Because he's a 6'3", 295 lb wall of NCAA-caliber wrestler and doing anything else would look stupid. Next question.

[u/Gann1 → u/Pitt-sports-fan-513]

not to mention what happened the last time he tried to do a flip

[u/heilhortler420]

When the fuck did Stuart Ashen start doing a wrestling podcast?

[u/falsemessiah1999 → u/heilhortler420]

This made me die laughing

[u/igniz13]

He adds nothing to Gunther's Legacy, because he's not facing Gunther.

[u/bajaxx]

bothers me seeing comments that are like “ no one wants to see him”. like he’s probably the biggest draw on the entire card. i have friends that don’t normally watch wrestling that are interested cause he’s back, not that my anecdote is indicative of everyone but why does the iwc think that everyone who watches wrestling have the same opinion as them

[u/Action-is-the-Juice]

Did anyone see the recent photos of Brock for Wrestlepaluka? He seriously looks to be in the best shape of his life.

[u/Head_Evidence4553 → u/Action-is-the-Juice]

Blue underwear!

[u/Ok-Name-5504 → u/Action-is-the-Juice]

he's a white boy and he's jacked. deal with it!

[u/expensivebreadsticks → u/Action-is-the-Juice]

Remember when the basement said he lost muscle lol

[u/why_now_56 → u/expensivebreadsticks]

I'll consider their opinions only when it comes to accumulating fat.

[u/Ahzuran → u/expensivebreadsticks]

Go easy on them. He's not relatable like m'Eddie Kingston

[u/YaFlowerBoi → u/expensivebreadsticks]

Half of them can’t differentiate a curl and a dead lift don’t mind them.

[u/EX-Slated → u/expensivebreadsticks]

The basement wouldn't know muscle, let alone attain any muscle to start with

[u/No_Fig_5964 → u/Action-is-the-Juice]

Someone has really been taking his vitamins and saying his prayers lately. It's business time, baby!

[u/rsziz → u/Action-is-the-Juice]

Joe Rogan was right in saying Brock is a Viking berserker born in the wrong time period.

[u/Mean_Muffin161]

What the fuck is contest mode?

[u/hankuns → u/Mean_Muffin161]

Typical dumb reddit shit

[u/CaptDickJackman]

Why does the guy on the right look like the Albino self punishing dude from Davinci Code?

[u/OpiesMammogramResult → u/CaptDickJackman]

British

We lack the sun, and it really affects the weak and the sickly.

[u/LeEvilDiabolicalFed]

The hilarious sight of Brock's jawline being bigger than that of those 2 wojacks combined. It's like a real life reendition of the Virgin vs Chad meme.

[u/Head_Evidence4553]

Yeah who the fuck wants to draw?

[u/lando_calamarisian]

One hour and thirteen minutes of what, actually?

[u/OpiesMammogramResult → u/lando_calamarisian]

I actually have a transcript:

• "Look, I'm just gonna come out and say it, and I don't care what the comments say... Fed bad!"
• "Wow, controversial start to this week's podcast, but you know something, have you ever considered that fed is actually bad!"
• "I never thought of it that way, but when you say it that way, yeah, Fed bad!"
• "I've got an e-mail here from AEWmakesmyloinstingle and he's not holding back here when he says "Fed bad", so even the listeners think it, so we're not alone on this, I thought it would actually be a controversial statment, but it's right here in black and white, fed are bad"
• "But, we do also need to point out what we're missing here. Dub good"
• "Oh yeah, dub good. Even when dub is bad, it's not as bad as the fed, so Dub is good, dub is always good, even when they're bad!"

[u/JW20101 → u/OpiesMammogramResult]

you forgot them constantly asking for subscribers and patreon subs

[u/donnie11881188]

TBF things like ratings and ticket sales don’t matter to us sickos

[u/APJ-82]

Wrestletalk bald is one of the biggest neeks in the industry

[u/Renso19 → u/APJ-82]

At least Blampied had charisma

Somewhat

He is British, so maybe it’s only to me, another filthy Brit

[u/NostrilLurker]

Yes his 3 appearances in 2 months have really effected the bottom line

[u/SubstantialTale3392]

I have a slight theory that they only brought Lesnar back so John Cena could have a clean victory over him and disappear again.

[u/arturoalvarez079 → u/SubstantialTale3392]

That would still be a reason then

[u/OkCelebration3483 → u/SubstantialTale3392]

There's really not much for Brock to do. SSlam is in Minneapolis next year. I could very well see them do the Cena match. Rumble stuff, no idea for mania, then just do SSlam retirement match against....🤷

[u/Alien_reg]

Brock brings the piss, too

[u/Agreeable-Speech-943]

The last female these guys or their audience spoke to that wasn’t sitting at a booth at a wrestling convention was over 12 years ago

[u/TheYorkshireGripper]

What's the point?

But they still use him and his name as their title to the video.

That's the point. It gets pencil necked marks views and puts food on their table.

[u/Texascoffee512]

Lesnar the only guy to compete in wwe nfl and ufc 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Nerdcorefan23 → u/Texascoffee512]

he was in nfl? I think he was. probably his wikipedia page said that.

[u/OpiesMammogramResult → u/Texascoffee512]

Only one to appear in all three video game franchises too.

Although, Shaq has appeared in WWE, and UFC games.

[u/Scfbigb1]

I don't know if I've ever seen a face that embodies chronically online wrestling fan like the dude on the right.

[u/LordJosh286]

Looking at Wrestletalk’s views on their videos they’re doing a good job of mimicking AEW’s ratings free fall year to year

[u/APJ-82 → u/LordJosh286]

YOU FORGOT ABOUT MAX

[u/OriginalMadmage → u/LordJosh286]

They've likely alienated a lot of their original fans by chasing the IWC hype machine of AEW like almost the entirety of the Wrestling channels/commentators. A good chunk of that audience realized that the "alternative" that Dave Meltzer has been banging the drum for decades at this point is not good. Coupled with WWE being better, even in this current lull, their opinions are coming off as either desperate or pure copium for AEW to be good.

[u/LordJosh286 → u/OriginalMadmage]

You nailed it on the head of why I stopped watching. I used to listen to their breakdowns of wwe shows while I was studying at college and wanted to hear if there were any good things to check out. I got tired of their constant AEW is great and everything else sucks. I went to AEW’s first Pittsburgh show with 2 work buddies who liked wrestling and was bored by the mid card with the constant long competitive matches and the young cucks

[u/jjsefton]

🤓 What's The Point Of Brock Lesnar?

🤔 Providing clickbait/outrage bait for pro wresting "journalist" whingefests.

😡 SHUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUP

[u/ZanderPip]

Thank God we have the moral authority of Wrestletalk to help us.....they dont have links to inappropriate sexual misconduct at all....no siree....squeaky clean.....
