In a time where the only storyline that usually matters is the one involving the WWE Title, yeah it's a pretty fuckin' big deal.
If this rumour is correct, well I can't help but think that.... I told you so. I knew from the start this Lesnar title reign is going to become boring if he is not appearing as often as the champion should. And don't give me that bullshit about the champion not being around except for pay pay views, maybe 20 years ago that was relevant, but the wrestling world has evolved since then. Not to mention we are the "now" generation, we demand the champion to appear, we demand title matches, and we demand superstars get the opportunity to compete for the richest prize in sports entertainment.
I think someone also stated that if WWE has no plans for Lesnar for the rest of the year, what does that say about the rest of the roster? That apart from John Cena, nobody else is worthy of challenging the champion? If that's true, then why bother watching the damn show until the Royal Rumble. That is not at all, a smart business decision by any means.
You know what else contributed to this potential disaster, unifying the freaking world titles! Sure, people say the WWE has not got enough talent for 2 world titles, but I think it's been a flop so far. At least the WWE tried hyping two major storylines instead of one back then, not to mention Smackdown was also a semi-relevant program, unlike it is now. AND this whole Brock Lesnar MIA thing wouldn't be as big of an issue, since the World Heavyweight Championship can still be defended in the main event.
Maybe if the other storylines were half interesting this wouldn't even be a topic we'd be discussing, but you know it's going to suck and anyone that offers a contrasting opinion is naive.
