yes, I'm sure that's the kind of sportsmanship and family-friendly entertainment EA is hoping to be aligned with!

Well Lesnar was gonna be fighting whoever one, no need to fix anything.

This thing is becoming a joke though. Lesnar has done nothing to a title shot and is a drug cheat.

Thanks for hanging out everybody.

And I'd just like to say that not having Bruce's Toxic influence in the live chat basically resulted in total member harmony. It's like a cloudcover perpetually drizzling cancer poo and AIDS has been lifted.

Cringeworthy post interview aside - DC is the ******* MAN! When JJ cleaned up the division he flirted with going to heavyweight and even then he always said he’d want a tune-up fight and all the while he was juiced up to the gills. DC took on the baddest HW champ to date and sent him to sleep. If he wants Brock, give him Brock. He’s earned it. Dude worked his way from being booed to being one of the more popular guys on the roster by putting himself out there and always upping his game both on a technical and skill set level and by showing more of his awesome personality. Wasn’t too manly to break down publicly when he was down, owned it and came back to this.

DC is the ******* MAN!

I think this is the end of DC at LHW. They should just make Gustafsson vs. Oezdemir for the LHW strap, and get Romero into a number one contender fight asap.

If DC fights Jones again, as his retirement fight, it should be at HW.

@Greg

You telling me that yelling ************ at someone and aggressively pushing them in a WWE like bit isn't "family friendly"?

Also, knowing the bright red, left wing politics of EA these days, I'm sure they could care less about anything having to relate to families.

That postfight interview was hot garbage. Actually no, it was hot wet garbage. You ever see trash water? That's what that was hot trash water. Slap in the face to curtis blaydes and volkov imo. Brock calling stipe a pos was terrible. I get that he is supposed to be the bad guy, but stipe is a champion in real life so hopefully they let brock hear it. But of course wme wont. If brock stopped doing his job, nothing would change. If stipe stopped doing his, people would suffer. Anyone want to know the difference between selfish and selfless, just look at those 2. Sorry but that had the opposite affect. I am less interested in blockhead's return now.
