I wonder if they are just trying to isolate him from the full-time roster. IE: 'since he's on the payroll and he has to rassle someone, put him with Shane'.

I mean really tho...he's such an ass. He's somewhat obviously in it for himself (in a way that is off-putting). He's giving up less and less every time out in terms of selling, bumping, all of that. The drug test stuff. His low appearance count/agreement. The 'I'll have blood in a match whenever I want' thing. And he's pretty much gonna main event whenever he shows up. If you've been working with nicks and bruises and maybe even flat out injuries and then you have to fluff the crowd for a dude like that, how many times does it take before you're kinda done with him...especially if his existence isn't exactly yielding you more dollars?

It is all of the shit Phil was talking about when he was ticked off. It may be worse. Jericho is a much better example of how to pull off the 'I'm here sometimes' thing.

Now, to be clear...I'm with you on the Brock. I'm borderline done with him. And I can't help but think WWE is out on him too.

BUT

I don't exactly hate Shane rasslin occasionally. At least he's 'there', he gives up a gang of ass without endangering his opponent, and no matter what, he's still pretty much 'just crazy ass Shane' doing stunts that no one else is logically expected to duplicate in 2016. Logically is the word. I can't help it if idiots expect full-time dudes to be Shane-ing it up every night more than they already are. There's so many dives to the outside on a rando rasslin show nowadays. We should tally them up. I'm guess there's roughly half a dozen per show.

Foley, for a while, had a much bigger impact to the wrestling landscape by comparison. Another thing with Shane...it ain't like HE'S winning a world title and then falling off the face of the earth for months at a time with the belt.
