Yeah I would agree with the original idea that Holly is being fed to Lesnar to make Lesnar seem stronger.

Couple of things though:

First, Holly, even if he is just cannon fodder for Lesnar, doens't deserve to have his JOB much less co-headline one of biggest PPVs of the year.

Second, I have a feeling, knowing the way the WWE books heels that are not HHH that Lesnar wont even win the match clean. I can see a guy like Morgan interfering and helping Lesnar win the match, which hardly makes Lesnar look tough.

That also leads me to the problem of Holly as choice for main event push. I mean Holly has a rep for being a tough guy, but so did Meng and he never drew as a top guy. Just because a guy is tough in real life doesn't mean that translates to the fans. To the fans Holly is a JOB guy, and now all of a sudden he's going for the WWE title. To me that just kinda kills the credibility of the WWE title and its champion (unless he kills him in 2 minutes). Then of course there's the problem that as Brock proved Bob is only a touhg guys when he's pushing around a defenseless kid and not a real man who can fight back.

Then there's the problem that Bob has shown no ability to draw in ratings, and I think he gets lukewarm responses at best. I mean which title match is going to seem more important HBK-HHH for the World Title or Brock vs Sparky for the WWE title? Like I said I think this fued, unless the match winds up in a squash (which it wont) will really hurt the credibility of Brock and the WWE title. The only thing I'm looking forward to is Cole and Tazz trying to explain why the crowd at the Rumble is cheering for Lesnar.
