RAW 1002/HBK appreciation night

[swarm]

Not really looking forward to this. Really hope this is just a vehicle to have HBK demolished by Brock.

might not get to see Brock tonight


According to our friends over at The Wrestling Observer, Lesnar was going through rehearsals for this month’s WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, when he got into a physical encounter with fellow WWE superstar, Ryback.


Ryback, whose real name is Ryan Reeves, apparently got in a disagreement with Lesnar during an early morning run through in preparation for Lesnar’s big match with Triple H. It seems before things even got underway, emotions got heated and Lesnar struck Reeves three times in the face:


“Lesnar left the building after getting into a physical altercation with fellow WWE superstar, Ryan Reeves, known in ring as Ryback.


Not much information is being let out, but the source says Lesnar was in the arena early to rehearse a major angle with SummerSlam opponent Triple H. Before things even began, Reeves, who was also in the building, got into a heated argument with Lesnar. It is uncertain what the argument was about.


Reeves put his hands on Lesnar, though the source tells us that people who witnessed it said Reeves was going to apologize. Lesnar shoved Reeves back and a shoving match ensued. Lesnar threw Reeves to the floor and hit him in the face three times before being pulled off.


Reeves suffered a laceration above his left eyebrow which is required stitches. "Ryback" will not be competing tonight as he was originally planned. Lesnar left the building immediately, and all efforts to reach him have failed.”

Now, keep in mind, these are preliminary reports and nothing has been confirmed by the WWE, but Lesnar has gone through this before.

During his first tenure in the WWE, Lesnar was rumored to have a less-than-humble approach to 'the business.' In fact, rumors ran rampant that he and a majority of the locker room didn't get along. A rumored altercation with "The Undertaker" and "Mr.Perfect" were just some of the stories floating around the Pro Wrestling circuit.

Assuming this story does hold some weight, then it's utterly disturbing that Lesnar finds it somehow acceptable to be punching anything or anyone after becoming the UFC Heavyweight Champion of the world.


This writer is no lawyer, folks, but I have seen Con Air; and if Nic Cage can be sent to prison for using his fists as 'deadly weapons' defending his girlfriend in a bar fight, then Lesnar has to be held accountable for his actions.


Come to think of it, Lesnar would have fit right in on that, now infamously, doomed flight.


More on this situation as news breaks.

Brock Lensar needs this to work more than the WWE needs him right now. After getting his ass kicked his last fight in the UFC and retiring. So it really behooves me why Lensar would would do things like this if its true. I think Lensar needs some type of therapy for his anger issues.

[LWPD]

It's a fake story. At least the trolls who distributed this one used an interesting name in the 'fight' like Ryback. This one was almost as good as the old Kane beat up Tim Sylvia troll from a few years back.

[TTX]

I figured it was fake. And since Ryback competed, it's obviously so.

Kane/Tim Sylvia....had forgotten about that.

I think DB got the most crowd reaction since the Iron Sheik circa 1984.
