Brock is such a BAWSE! if anyone else did what he did they'd be fired...banned from WWE...buried 6 feet below with dolph and cesaro... but because its Brock he can still come back next week with open arms and pushed to the moon :lol: :pimp:
 
I was reading reddit and according to some random dude with a source (I know it isn't credible but this sounds totally plausible) apparently the reason why Brock walked out was because Reigns failed a drug test and did not want to be associated with Roman because him returning to UFC (which is likely) would be marred by the fact he was guilty by association (i.e. steroids...and we know UFC has a big mess on their hands regarding roids right now). He'd put be willing to put Cena or Bryan over but not Reigns. Vince was adamant on keeping Reigns in the main event (even though the higher ups were disappointed in Roman) and that's why Brock left.
Full post before it's probably removed from Reddit:
First, Brock Lesnar was not expected to put over Roman Reigns on the microphone nor was he expected to be part of the segment that featured Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman putting Reigns over. Rather, Lesnar was expected to be a part of the main event. Lesnar's walkout occurred in the hour or so following the Bryan-Heyman-Reigns segment. It is this reason why literally nothing of particular note to Reigns occurred in the main event aside from the Bryan tag-in which the commentators quickly put over as a bit of retaliation of what happened pre-Fast Lane now that they're all buddy buddy (Bryan-Reigns).

Daniel Bryan was made aware of the situation before he cut his promo. Before Bryan did the professional thing that was required of him, putting Reigns over, you can clearly see much more intensity in the promo. That was the makings of a very good promo. It was also cut straight from the hip from a guy who feels legitimately robbed of his main event status at Wrestlemania for the chosen one who really ****** up in a pretty big way.

Reigns failed the WWE's drug testing policy. The higher ups in the WWE were made aware of Reigns's failure early Monday morning.

Clearly all involved are very disappointed in Reigns. It has brought back discussion of Jeff Hardy's drug test failure prior to Wrestlemania XXIV where it was highly likely that he was to win his first championship (which was delayed until Armageddon in December). Many feel that Reigns should be forced to forfeit his position at Wrestlemania and take the suspension. However, Vince McMahon is backing "his boy" and made the decision not to suspend him as there is more than 30-days to go before Wrestlemania.

However, given the current situation in the UFC with the steroids controversy, Brock Lesnar is beyond infuriated with that decision. His legitimate fear is that should he choose to return to the UFC, quite likely given the money that Dana is offering, his Wrestlemania main event status against Roman Reigns links him directly to failed drugs tests in the media. It's a guilty by association issue for Brock and a perfectly understandable one.

Lesnar has demanded that Reigns be replaced preferably with Daniel Bryan or John Cena, both of whom he is happy to put over given their popularity. Lesnar does not particularly care if the much smaller Bryan were to defeat him - it's a non-issue due to the known 'scripted' nature of professional wrestling - as it wont effect his UFC reputation. Again, Vince McMahon has said that Reigns would not be replaced in the main event of Wrestlemania. Lesnar walked out.
 
Teflon Randy's been officially replaced.

I'm glad that Brock is sticking to his guns. If Vince won't punish dudes for violating the wellness policy just because he's "their guy" then I'm glad Brock is doing something about it. 

I'm sick that he's not even being suspended by Vince man. Goes to show that the wellness policy is a complete joke. 
 

Don't give him one of those..Dude doesn't even know the initials of the fed he's in..NTWT, not ntwe..Get the E out!

Not really. I have the Big logo replica which I'm trying to sell but its being re-leathered at the moment. I do browse belttalk every now and then.  I would like to own one "real" title in the near future.  Either the Winged Eagle or IC title (90s era)  Those collections on belttalk are nice but one real title is enough for me if it happens. I think that having too many is a little bit too much but not knocking them for the hobby. The turn around time on those things are a ***** too from what I've heard...

@casekicks
 

What do you mean not really?..I was just saying the site you suggested was a good place to go if you want a "real" belt that's more affordable..Cause Millican is at like a 4 or 5 yr. wait and his prices are insane (but worth it)..I think getting a nice replica and having it releathered is the best way to go..That's why I love the Fandu belt I have because the plates are monsters w/great detail..The strap isn't the great to be honest, but if I can get it on some new leather in the future then it'll be perfect in my eyes..Plus I have to get the name plate engraved but I don't know if I should put Flair, Sting, or my screen name on it..BTW, the Fandu belt guy also will sell you extra straps, name plates, side plates, screws, and crystals..


These rosy colored glasses for the Attitude Era needs to come off already for the majority of you. The IC Title was passed around during the Attitude Era the same way it has in the past couple years. Guys like Albert, Rikishi, Val Venis, Godfather, Road Dogg, etc have laid claim to that title.

I agree there were some non-iconic men to hold the IC during the AE..But for me it's not so much who held the belt, but how important the belt was made to look during that time that makes me think of that era fondly..The belt was always contested in solid matches and for the most part was the natural stepping stone for the holder to be put in the World title/Main event picture..So not only was it a significant title but people knew that the holder most likely was headed for bigger and better things..
 
Oooooooooooooooooooooh Reigns :rofl: :x :rofl: :smh:

This would be the perfect time to set up Brock vs Bryan, and Sheamus vs Reigns :rofl:
 
If Reigns really failed a drug test and Vince won't suspend him, I can't imagine the negative impact that would have bsckstage.

Backstage morale is probably pretty low now either way.

I'm not one to actively wish someone messes up, but if this is true, Ramen goof'd knowing he's the next face and doing this.

Again, take this all with a grain of salt as it's unconfirmed.

His hand will be forced. No way that news doesn't get leaked. Especially if Brock refuses to work Mania and speaks up about it. 
 
If that story is true that's just sad. Reigns has been given so many opportunities to flourish while more deserving people like Cesaro, Bryan, Ambrose, etc. are wasting away.
 
Daniel Bryan vs Bork

RKO vs Bork

Sext vs Bork

Cesaro vs Bork

Dean Ambrose vs Bork?

I remember reading AMA with metsfan that if daniel bryan and reigns weren't options for bork that Dean would be the next man...

have reigns vs sheamus or somehow be creative with how to book a shield triple threat... for the briefcase maybe? but who am i kidding...creative team can't be THAT CREATIVE :smh:
