so Brock's head getting busted open wasn't planned????

[jadillac]

The WWE released a press statement that it wasn't planned(ie no blading)....Austin even said Brock was busted open "the hard way"...if that's true, then that's possibly the LUCKIEST moment in wrestling history for WWE. Because Brock bleeding at that point, from that spot took that match to a whole other level after that.

And if it wasn't planned it sure worked out well b/c it made it look like Roman saw the blood and suddenly recognized a chink in Brocks armor and thought to himself, "hey maybe I can do this!!"....and it made Lesnar look like an unbeatable Frankenstein monster who was suddenly very wobbly & showing weakness.

We've seen dudes rammed "headfirst" into the ringpost a zillion times, and it means nothing more than just another spot in the match. I can't imagine the subsequent flurry of Superman punches and Reigns other offense coming off as well as they did if not for Brock wearing the crimson mask.

Yep. WWE plans for blood only to censor it whenever possible later

Really, guy? How long you've been watching wrestling?

It's easy to tell hardway from a blade job.

 

[Da King]

Wasn't planned but perfectly timed?




When I saw Brock busted open I was , Vince taking it back to the attitude era for one night

Sidebar, why do some of the refs have that big ass black arm band?

Some other people theorized that the ref squeezing Roman's hand might have been to check on his condition, i.e., squeeze my hand if you're good. Apparently that's a common thing during matches.

Hmm, didn't know that.

But I read that Brock may cut easier than most people due to UFC....something about tissue being re-damaged or something.

Could all just be people apologizing for them though.

Honestly don't think it's a huge deal either way so....

How did you catch that?

that's what I think because the wrestlers always carry the blades on them themselves, I've never once heard a ref giving the blade to someone

maybe but not in this case imo..i see some silver in there and roman's hand clenches to grab it rather than how his hand was before that.
