I wish more pro wrestlers had the leverage Brock does.

In the attitude era, wrestlers had leverage because of WCW. That's what made the product great.

Brock has the leverage of UFC, which allows for greater pay and also makes him a more rare asset. When they use him, they make sure it's for a great cause.

This Jones-Lesnar fiasco made me think of this.

Do you think wrestlers will find leverage again? I don't think another wrestling promotion is popping up anytime soon, but it could be leverage through something else.

I know Cena and Orton has leverage
lowkey that might be the key to making it

punk made enough money and knew he had jobs waiting for him, so he didnt care about what people said backstage.

guys like seth and dean arent doing themselves favours by going off script.

"Let's have Cena go over him in his first match back."

"Let's have HHH beat him."

"Let's have Undertaker get a win back."

"Let's drag Reigns beating him out for years."

"Let's mad hype a no holds barred match vs Ambrose... and then deliver like two kendo stick taps to the back."

"Let's have old man Goldberg squash him."

Great cause. :russ:

WWE can't book period right now. It wouldn't matter if they were all Brocks, the product would still basically be creatively bankrupt and constantly fukking itself over every step of the way. Guys might get paid more, but it's not my bank account, so :manny:

Most don't but that doesn't stop the Cody, Wade, and Aries of the world to ask for their release.

For main eventers if they have decent acting skills, I think Vince should be afraid of them going into other forms of show business though.

The company doesn't take them seriously when they do. Look at how they did Batista. :francis:
