Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

Personally, I think Taker could go a few more years wrestling once a year. He obviously can't wrestle often, but I think with a reduced schedule, even for him, he can still get a couple more years. It's not like his matches are bad. And he's probably healthier now than he's been in 5 years or more.

Lesnar will supposedly work a schedule that is "more than Undertaker, less than Goldberg."

Agreed. I'd like to see Taker work more than just WM, only because I think just working one time a year for the next 2-4 years would be a bit of a blemish on his streak. Not saying he has to do house shows, or even wrestle on TV but have him wrestle at SummerSlam, Survivor Series and maybe even the Royal Rumble.

I'm also fine with Lesnar getting an HBK, Undertaker, Goldberg, Rock-style deal. WWE needs star power and it's well-documented that the part of the job that Brock hated was all the travel. If he only had to work 4-5 days a month (RAWs and a monthly PPV), I think he'd be fine with that, as he'd still be home 5 or 6 days a week.

Lesnar is still young enough that he could work a reduced schedule for the next decade if he wanted to, and that would net him a nice sum of money.

Regardless, I hope that the rumors are true and that Brock is back in some capacity.

Sounds like a done deal on Brock, 1 year deal.

Is he going to be on every week?

Not that it matters thanks to the SuperShow, but I hope he's on SmackDown. It wouldn't feel right watching him on Mondays.

I bet he has spurts. He'll be on every week for two or three months, then be gone for a month or two.

I'd be shocked if he's on Smackdown. Smackdown is very, very clearly the B Show now, and you're not going to put the guy that is likely now the second biggest star in the company, behind Mr. Movie Star, on the B Show.

Reports are saying he'll work a schedule more than Taker but less than Goldberg, so I'm not sure how to take it.

It won't feel right seeing him on Raw, so it's unfortunate.

Goldberg's time was when I wasn't watching much anymore (didn't get tnn, so could only watch Smackdown). How much did he wrestle?

I don't know the exact number, but he was only around for a year. I'd say he wrestled between half and 3/4 that time. He had a decent number of feuds. Debuted to feud with the Rock, had a thing with Evolution (mainly HHH), Jericho again, etc.

Him and Jericho actually had a real fight when he came to the WWE.

As for Brock on SmackDown, no way. I get that Brock and SmackDown kinda go hand in hand for those of us that were watching at that time, but SmackDown is nowhere near as close as it was to Raw back then. If anything I see them putting guys like Miz and/or Punk on SmackDown.

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

I just want to say...

HERE COMES THE PAIN!

God I love Brock. He's legitimately one of my favorites of all time, so glad he's coming back.

My guess is that it's only a 1 year deal just so he can get a feeling on if he likes it or not. My guess is he'll re-up if he feels good about it.

He better have the same theme music.

The real fight was when they were still in WCW, not in WWE.

Yep, and Jericho got the best of him too.

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

so do we think they made sure to get the deal done so we'd see Brock at Mania?

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

To be honest, I don't know what he'd be doing at Mania. Have his music hit and him appear on stage after the Main Event? He's not going to run to the ring and F-5 anyone - he probably hasn't done the move in 6 years. I think him appearing on Raw makes more sense.

Batista, on the other hand, I could see making a return tomorrow. Say Daniel Bryan retains his title, The Animal's music hits, and big Dave hits the Batista Bomb. If Batista were to return, I'd imagine he'd be on Smackdown.
