Anyone else turned off by the Bork interview last night?

[Konnan]

He's right tho

Its his life and he chose to do something different

Who are we to be mad at what he does with his life

 

[PlainSight]

It is kinda funny that Brock is so good at professional wrestling yet gives two fukks about it. It is an issue that has mixed feelings for me.

For any "soccer" fans on TSC, I recall a player for Tottenham Hotspur called Benoit Assou-Ekotto. He was a Cameroonian full-back who became their first choice at left-back. I don't know how much dude was paid, but he did an interview admitting that he couldn't give two fukks about football and that it was just a cheque to him. The fans HATED him - even his own team's fans would get onto him sometimes. But you can't force him to love the game and chastise him because he exploited his own ability for the game to make a living for himself. So I don't see why Brock should get chastised for that - he's at least honest about it

However, @LaughsLikePac made an excellent point about at least having some respect for the game, which is something that a lot of people in our generation seem to lack at times. I can understand when one doesn't want to give out respect just out of longevity, but it seems that times where it's appropriate to honor your artform or - even further - predecessors, that respect isn't forthcoming, even from people within the scene itself. That can be a slap in the face for many. In Brock's case, it doesn't matter because he doesn't care. The debate really is whether Brock truly respects the business even if he doesn't love it - as opposed to the aforementioned CM Punk, who despite initially- loving the business, gradually lost respect for it.

This is exactly why they shouldn't have let him end the streak. Still one of the worst decisions that they've made.

Nah, if they were gonna end the streak, the only person it should have been was Brock.

Anybody else would have had too much respect for Taker. Brock just straight didn't give a fukk.

Also the fact that he is VERY anti-social...

Yup social anxiety case study. .. he's awkward as fukk when a camera is pointed at him and he's asked to "act" but with restraint. Steve was trying hard to throw his "character" softballs and Brock was answering everything as his real life self because the two are basically the same thing when it comes to "promos" he can't act and admitted it

Dude is not nearly as bad in person as he came off last night, I've been lucky enough to chop it up with bs wrestling questions before and he had good recall, that's why I think he was "working" being so dismissive to a degree in the interview. ..

the fact that he'll never get to fully scratch that UFC/fighter itch just bleeds out of him at times when he's asked about his careers. That second bout of diverticulitis broke him/humbled him and made him bitter in some aspects.

SCSA: What are your thoughts on promos?

Brock: I guess I'm not good at them


That had me rollin

The problem is that it's over a year later and he's still giving emotionally charged responses to obvious trolls.

People Power

I thought it was Angle.

Beadle is a troll herself. She feeds off the attention.

Not according to his book

John Laurinaitis was going to be the agent for the match. That means he was the choreographer, the guy who had to know what we were going to do, so the cameras could follow us and cover the match properly. The agent carries the finish of the match from Vince, and then talks with the wrestlers, and gets the entire story of the match together. Then he goes back to Vince and hopes Vince likes it.

John wanted to do something special because a lot of corporate eyes were on him since he was being groomed to take over Jim Ross’s job as the head of talent relations. He was now the agent for the biggest match of the year, the main event of WrestleMania. The WWE title was on the line between two amateur champions, two real wrestlers with legitimate athletic backgrounds. Apparently, that wasn’t enough for John Laurinaitis. He thought the match needed a WrestleMania moment. At lunch that day, John came up to me and pitched his great finish, which would see me hit the Shooting Star Press to beat Kurt for the WWE title. John had this elaborate concept of me kicking out of everything Kurt could hit me with. Then Kurt kicks out of the F-5. Since we couldn’t beat each other with our best shots, we’d have to dig something out of our bags of tricks. I’d look around, trying to figure out how I could beat Kurt. Then I’d climb to the top rope, and hit the Shooting Star Press to pin Kurt Angle and become a twotime WWE Heavyweight Champion. That was John’s big finish, for the biggest match, on the biggest show of the year.

The only problem was that I hadn’t done the move for over a year, and it was very dangerous for both of us. A lot can go wrong when a threehundred- pound man inward-reverse-somersaults himself through the air from the top rope, and the margin for error is slim. John, however, was relentless, “Brock, you gotta finish the match like that. It’s so memorable. It’s your WrestleMania moment.”

Funny cause I moved out of Brooklyn, because I had too much "power".

elaborate on this


and nikkas talking about the "respect the business", this the same business with no unions and when a wrestler career is over and the person is physically/mentally broken owners hit them with the and kick them out the door

 

[LastManStanding]

The interview simply confirmed things that most of us already knew/thought about him anyway tho. Dude has always been straightforward and consistent about his feelings about the business. You don't have to like it or agree but there's no reason to be caught off guard by what he said. He said all this back in 2012.

this is true. at least he is being honest

although that part when he said that he "tries to be as nice as he can, but really just doesn't like people" had me like damn Brock you need a hug or something?

y nikka? who r u to have me elaborate on my life. I had two friends murdered last week. If u go to some of my post in the booth I elaborate on my life a few times. I aint gon explain my life to know random net cac.

 

[Xane Vic]

Funny cause I moved out of Brooklyn, because I had too much "power". Mind u, I didn't go to High School. Self Made, YET I respected the game. I learned the rules, and I respected shyt. Austin was a boss, he called his own shots. BUT HE RESPECTED THE GAME. TRIPLE H FOR ALL HIS BULLshyt, RESPECTS THE GAME.

I cannot cosign a nikka not respecting the business that afforded him the oppurtunity to live a good life.

Lebron ain't gonna say "fukk Magic, I just play ball... Never seen him play" nah he gon throw it up and respect the pioneers and art form of the sport that allowed him to change his life.

You sound like a weak nikka.

I don't respect a greedy pig of a nikka.

Passionate posting.

nikkas want me to do a shoot interview, I want you to do one.

Move out of brooklyn to live in jersey

That nikka bore his soul and you shyt on it, I feel Ric Flair that one time without the crying.

fukk your friends being murdered have to do with me asking how you're claiming to be in a position of power?

 

[jackswstd]

It was about what I expected. He's a strange dude dead set in his ways. Everyone knows he's just in it for the money and nothing else. Fortunately for him the 'E is in a position where they have no choice but to bend to his demands.
