"Nice One Maven!"

Maven is fast becoming the peoples champion! Not only has he got his body in phenomenal shape and vastly improved his in-ring product, he's also taking out some of the rubbish!

Apparently Maven caught Gene Snitsky with a bad hit at Survivor Series, causing the very visible cut we all saw. Apparently the damage was worse than that though and Snitsky is being treated for a suspected broken orbital bone, an injury which would put him on the shelf for months.

Note to Maven, please do Batista next.

What are you on about Ant? Snitsky doesn't have the look that Lesnar did? That off-centre goatee beard simultaneous makes me scared, weak at the knees and amused.

It's obvious they're attempting to emulate what Lesnar did, there are numerous examples from both shows - Snitsky on RAW and Heidenreich on SmackDown being the obvious ones.

HOWEVER. Neither wrestler has the great in-ring capabilities of Brock Lesnar. Neither wrestler has the...look, that Lesnar had. And neither have the character he had either. Now, I know that technically Lesnar didn't have a character at all when we begun, but that was what made him so interesting!

They're trying to do a similar thing with Heidenreich and Heyman, but it's just not the same. Snitsky is more effective I feel, but still fails to have the aura (sp?) that Lesnar had.

So, what is to be learnt from all this?

Well basically...Brock Lesnar ruled. :D

I'm really not up for Snitsky being part of the title picture ever. But then, this IS the WWE we're talking about.

i'm really not up for Snitzky being part of the title scene already.
sure, he's brilliantly put together, but as far as work and mic skills and character go, i just don't see him as champ material.. especially not THIS soon.
i feel WWE are pushing the new big guys as fast as possible to get as much out of them as they can incase they decide to jump ship or switch careers (defined in Websters dictionary 5th edition as "pulling a Lesnar".. which, in itself, sounds suspect :) ) and the rumour of their new recruitment criteria has any truth then sadly i see this trend continuing :(

I don't get where they are going though, unless HHH is heading for a face turn, as it's the heels Edge, Batista and to a lesser extent Snitsky who are being made to look like the real threats to Trips' strap.

Made them all look weak except *shock* HHH. Benoit and Jericho were doing the business on him and still Maven couldn't beat him. In one swoop they make 3 wrestlers look weak whereas as the GM of RAW (the real one) is made to look strong and invincible.

Aye. Took him forever to make a cover. Looked rather pathetic I thought.

Maven? Impressive?

He spent most of the time lying on the ground whilst Benoit and Jericho did it all for him. :D

I've changed my username, seems as everyone calls me WK anyway :)

Ahem. Boys. DO i have to bang your heads together!?

Maven was quite impressive in his match against the game! Hopefully he will get his push. But somehow i doubt it!
