i'll be honest i didn't care for mankind as champ. austin had to drag the guy's dead carcass on top of rock's just so he could get the 3 count.

he was a fan favorite but i don't think anyone ever perceived him as a top dog. he couldn't beat austin, he couldn't beat rock, he couldn't beat taker, he couldn't beat hhh, etc.

it was more of a pity title reign.
How can you say that? Off the top of my head I know for a fact that two of Rock's victories over him were complete bullshyt and Mick retained against him in that empty arena match. If The Rock's victories are legit then how can you say Mankind's arent? Im pretty sure he beat HHH as cactus. When he first came on the scene he was also one of the few people that was actually taking it to Taker and they had one of the best feuds going. All I'm saying is, sometimes you get wrestlers that dont have the look and may not be the most athletic, but some how some way they get the fans behind them. They have awesome feuds with virtually everyone and eventually they should be given a shot at the championship to show the fans that their favorite isnt just a pin cushion used to take bumps. It makes the fans want to actually get invested in people besides what the machine is pushing. Yeah most of those guys are transitional champs but its still cool as fukk to think that kid you saw jumping off of 20 ft ladders to make a name for himself almost 10 years ago is now the champ

@Truth200 I was watching mick's documentary yesterday. He said Al Snow came up with the idea to have socko in the segment when Vince was in the hospital and Russo thought it was the greatest thing in the world so they had him continue to do it

rock a was the heel though, he don't have to win legit.

my point is even as the babyface mick could never beat any of those guys in a clean, decisive matter. even in that empty arena match he had to use a forklift.

First and foremost, I would compare him to his Shield mates because they were who I was discussing in the first place.


You bringing up the roster is interjecting an argument I never made.
Secondly, I'm not arguing in circles and no one is changing their mind.
Your opinion is your opinion and that's fine.

Translation: I think he has the worst booking, I don't know why, I just think so because I'm just a disgruntled Dean stan.

I'm not moved nearly enough about Dean Ambrose to insult you, breh.
You can throw a fit because I'm not going to trade messages arguing about an argument I never made, but I'm about to finish this chicken with my baby girl and enjoy Payback.
Have fun.

right but if you never believed for a second that (insert wrestler here) was capable of winning the match clean and decisively, then it does raise questions about their place on the pecking order.

mankind was a big star but he wasn't a true champion. he was a transitional champion at best.

Well that explains it.

I want Brock against someone interesting. I haven't watched since the RAW after Mania and I'll be watching Summerslam provided that Brock is doing something meaningful. A match with Orton is not that.

Brock has to face Orton at some point. It's a match most people want to see.

I guess Seth vs Brock is the main event for SS unless they wan't to save it for WM32.

The match would be great so I'll tune in but Seth should drop the strap :yeshrug:

I don't really find him all that interesting as a character.

Seth is the best WWE has now when Brock is not around.
