I think Lewis said that he got as much for this fight as his last three combined.

He's gonna need it, buying a yacht and an audi R8 isn't exactly a great investment strategy.

If not, DC should just buy a Universal title replica and bring it to the press conference when he wins.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

calling yourself "one of" the greatest of all time is pretty funny in its self awareness

The 2 losses on DC's record hit reaaaaaaaal hard. If not for one man DC would be the greatest HW and LHW of all time but that one man is a cocaine driven goliath.

this is not true. they aren't protecting dc at all. this card had fallen apart and they desperately needed a main event.

No, but they badly needed a viable main event for this card and Lewis had a lot of eyes on him after his last fight so it made sense to capitalize on it while it was still fresh. They even had a graphic earlier on showing how much Derrick's instagram followers had grown in a month lol.

he shouldn't fight anyone. he should take the money he got destroying mr. silva and retire. but he'll probably be booked against an up and comer who needs a case for a title shot. someone like adesanya, but they'll probably give adesanya some favorable match making which would mean keeping him way the gently caress away from someone even half as good at wrestling as chris, so maybe canonier, who chris will also kill easily.

Lol are we already doing the " when he fights a wrestler he'll get killed" thing.

Right after he destroyed a wrestler.

lol. look, there is a very real chance that your new boyfriend is the next champ. for example it could be that he took his gifted decision from a dude whose name escapes me and shored up the holes in his game becoming essentially invincible in less than a year. or it could be that that guy he fought who made him look ineffectual was himself a world class opponent who hasn't had a chance to prove himself yet. i just don't think that's the case.

hmm i thought i said he was flawed, which i didn't think was a particularly controversial position to take since this year he was gifted a decision and looked like poo poo against a competent wrestler. thanks to you though, i now know that i actually said he sucks and then made up a fight in which he looked bad and posted about it like it really happened and luckily several people just went along with me and agreed that that fight exists. my apologies to you nobody should have to take that level of poo poo from some rear end in a top hat online
