Mustang Sally
Sells seashells by the seashore
Now that the time for a decision is near, I honestly couldn't make the call. Presuming Brock's walk-out a couple weeks ago concerned discussions with Vince McMahon about a new contract, that was the first true indication that Brock was even considering staying, right? Before that, he (or his representation) was tossing so much of the "in negotiations with UFC" stuff at us that we couldn't tell if it was a smokescreen or not.
I feel a possible return to martial arts fighting is the only practical reason Brock wouldn't return to pro wrestling. Really, WWE has been the sweetest deal anyone has ever received in the entertainment field: being compensated a couple million dollars annually for being required to show up around 10 times a year, which includes 4 appearances in which he actually has to wrestle? I believe that was his 2014 schedule. He'd be insane to give that up, wouldn't he?
Was the argument with McMahon over the amount of money......or whether he could do both UFC and WWE......or something else entirely?
Is Brock's presence really worth the money they're paying him, considering that he's not only blowing the company's salary structure out of the water, but also how his deal might be negatively affecting morale with the rest of the roster?
Personally, I'd like him to stay, but not as world champion. While I agree that the title doesn't need to be defended at every month's PPV, the idea of the most privileged performer in WWE keeping it in deep freeze while we wait for him to make one of his rare appearances is offensive and surely grates on the nerves of the other employees.
Whether Brock could possibly be worth what he's getting in salary......plus how much extra business he actually brings in......are factors known only to WWE management; I couldn't even hazard a guess.
What do you think? Would you bring Brock back? Maybe at a lower salary? Maybe higher? Only if he agrees to more appearances? Any other special conditions? Would you want him if he worked both WWE & UFC? Do you think Brock enjoys what he does in WWE.....or that he couldn't care less?
