DISCUSSION - What should the WWE do with Brock Lesnar AFTER Wrestlemania?
DISCUSSION - What should the WWE do with Brock Lesnar AFTER Wrestlemania?
In my opinion? I would move Brock Lesnar to Raw after Wrestlemania takes place. Here are my reasons for doing so. Brock Lesnar can begin a program with Stone Cold Steve Austin: It's obvious that Lesnar will defeat Goldberg at Wrestlemania. There will most likely be a 'confrontation' of sorts between Lesnar/Austin after (or even during) the match as well. I say that the WWE should build upon that. Have Austin fight in his 'last match' against Lesnar and have Lesnar go over. For this to happen though, Lesnar should move to Raw. Lesnar has new opponents on Raw: Lesnar has fought practically everyone important on the Smackdown roster. Also - do you really want to see Lesnar play a secondary role on Smackdown? Think about this: Guerrero and Angle are about to get into a long feud (probably go one after Mania'). This means that Lesnar will play a secondary role as a heel. Do you really want to see this?.....or would you rather see him continue his momentum with Austin on Raw? With Lesnar gone from Smackdown, guys like Guerrero, Cena, and Edge (when he returns) become "more important": Just to note - If Edge goes to Raw (as rumors indicate), then I am NOT in favor of seeing Lesnar go to Raw. With Triple H and Goldberg both leaving Raw for an extended time period shortly after Mania/Backlash (in Goldberg's case, he may be leaving the company for good), Raw needs another 'big name' to be in the main-event picture. Once Lesnar finishes with Austin, he can focus his efforts on Chris Benoit. I'm hoping that Benoit wins the title at Mania. In Edmonton (Backlash?), he retains against Triple H. Lesnar on the other hand, defeats Austin. After Backlash, Lesnar begins his program with Benoit.......and defeats him. Lesnar then becomes the dominant heel on Raw. When Triple H returns, he feuds with former Evolution members. After that, a face Triple H takes on a heel Lesnar. In compensation for Lesnar's departure to Raw, I'd like to see Smackdown get some depth: I say make it a huge package deal. Smackdown should get guys like Lance Storm, Hurricane, Christian, Miss Jackie, and Stacy Kiebler...and yes, I realize that 4 of these 5 of these wrestlers were previously on the Smackdown roster, but they've done almost JACK SH>IT on Raw.....except for Christian and maybe Stacy). Lance Storm --> Can go back to being a heel, and can re-emerge as a formiddable mid-carder (in contention for the US title). Perhaps a re-unification with Dawn Marie? Christian --> Can possibly feud with or re-unite with Edge. I'm going with the latter. Since Guerrero, Cena, and Undertaker will all be faces, I think Angle, Edge, and Christian can be a decent heel trio to counter. Hurricane --> Can re-add to the Cruiserweight Division....or even the US title. Miss Jackie/Stacy: Useless on Raw. Can fight with the likes of Torrie, Sable, Dawn Marie, etc. |

I personally want to see Cena as a face to feud with Lesnar.
Problem is I can't dissect, and analyze it like Heyman does. |

Lesnar's whole gimmick is about "dominating". That's why I want to see him move to Raw.......so he can dominate there.....against NEW opponents. As far as Cena goes, I'd rather see him dominate the US division and defeat opponents such as Matt Morgan, Sean O'Haire, etc., (and that's also one reason why I like the idea of Christian and Lance Storm coming over from Raw....they can help make Cena look even better). |

You dissected that one good Heyman.
![]() Brock on RAW? A feud with Stone Cold would be good, but I don't know if I wanna see Austin's last match against Lesnar. Hopefully Brock can feud with Jericho |

Lesnar/Jericho would also be great to watch, as would be Lesnar/Benoit. Hell - even if Foley is around, Lesnar vs. Foley could be cool as well. Imagine Foley taking bumps from Lesnar. ![]() The other thing I like about the idea of Lesnar moving to Raw, is that the face who eventually does defeat Lesnar.......will become HUGE. Think about this: -Lesnar defeats Goldberg -Lesnar moves to Raw. -Lesnar defeats Austin. -Lesnar defeats Benoit to become champ. -Lesnar defeats guys like RVD, HBK, Triple H, and Booker T. -Lesnar has proved himself to be the greatest from Smackdown AND now Raw. -A guy like Jericho "steps up", and defeats Lesnar. |

If Lesnar was a heel fighting a face Triple H, then I highly doubt that Lesnar would get a clean win anyways. It would probably be a screwjob of sorts (former Evolution member interference?). So with that in mind, I don't think Triple H would mind not having the title. Lesnar getting an 'unclean' victory wouldn't allow him to 'go over', but it's not like he'd never get a title reign due to Triple H's presence. |

p.s. In regards to my earlier idea (of having Lesnar come to Raw in exchange for Storm, Christian, Hurricane, Stacy, and Miss Jackie). Instead of Stacy Kiebler and Miss Jackie heading to Smackdown, perhaps Test could head over there. Test is another guy who seems to have hit a wall on Raw. He could be a decent mid-carder on Smackdown. He would also be a guy who could JOB to Cena (in an effort to build up Cena for a future main-event push). |

This of course, would be by the end of this year (or early next year). Orton still needs time to develop in the mid-cards. He still needs a very strong IC title reign. p.s. I don't see Orton becoming a face for quite some time. I'm sure that if he fought Lesnar, the WWE would opt to have Lesnar as a face. I could be wrong though. |

No! You can't move Lesnar to Raw. Raw already got Benoit, they don't need Lesnar too. Why rob Smackdown of one of it's biggest stars just so he can go feud with a non-wrestler? It's crazy.
I'm guess we'll probalby see another Lesnar/Undertaker feud. If not, then how sweet would a fatal four way between Lesnar, Guerrero, Angle, and Cena be? That's right, it would be hella sweet. Cena and Angle could branch of from there with a feud of their own leaving us with another (longer) Lesnar/Guerrero feud. Smackdown has too many faces to take away their top heel. Cena, Guerrero, and Undertaker would be the top 3 faces with Angle being the only really big heel. If you take Lesnar away it forces the WWE to feed us more heavyweight title feuds involving the Big Show. edit: I'm not saying that I wouldn't want to see some of the match ups you've mentioned, but I just don't think they could get away with it at this point.

No offence, but I think Lesnar on RAW is a horrible idea.
The only good thing about Lesnar on RAW would be that they could continue the Benoit-Lesnar program which was dropped so Benoit could be Hunter's bitch. However, aside from that I see no benefit. If you move Lesnar to RAW, what you will ultimately set up is a babyface HHH defeating a heel World Champion Lesnar at WM XXI. You said that HHH cant squash Lesnar, guess what HHH can squash whoever he wants, except Rock and Austin. Plus, as a heel, Lesnar will be in comeptition with HHH for spotlight, guess who will lose? So just like on SD, Lesnar will take a backseat. At least on SD he doesn't have to worry about Hunter purposely trying to kill his heat. On Smackdown, Lesnar still has some fueds that they can go with. Someone brought up Cena-Lesnar which would make a lot of sense down the road. Lesnar can still do another PPV with Eddie. And I'm sure if Taker catches on to any degree we will see another Taker-Brock fued. Even though we've seen that match a number of times, with Taker's gimmick change it will seem fresh, and I think it could be a money program. Plus I'm still hoping they do a shooters group with Angle, Lesnar and WGTT. On top of that, the WWE needs to create a special match for Mania next year, IMO right now, that match is Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Brock Lesnar. We all know the back story there, and to the casual audience you got to see the seeds planted last week on RAW. If you keep Brock on SD and Austin on RAW, there is an opportunity to do a year long build because the guys can only interact on 4 ocassions. IMO, that builds the match as something special, maybe not on the level of Rock-Hogan or Austin-Rock or Andre-Hogan, but it will seem big. Especially with Austin not having wrestled a match in 2 years by next years' time. I realize you suggested the same macth, btu you have it on Backlash with Brock on RAW. So what you've done is made it seem like a run of the mill match, its not a special deal, because they will be beating on each other for 4 weeks leading to the PPV. If you keep them apart, you have a year long anticipation and very little confrontation, IMO that creates even more anticipation. You could have something like Austin costing Lesnar the title at Summerslam, say against Eddie. Then you do soemthing where Lesnar gets revenge on Austin at Survivor Series, and then at the Rumble Austin costs Lesnar the Royal Rumble. In between Lesnar could go on TV and call Austin a coward cuz he doesn't wrestle anymore, and then finally that leads to Austin agreeing to step back in the ring risking his health. Edge is going to RAW at this point, thats about a 90% guarantee, so I dont think SD should lose another guy. And like Ive been saying SD is thin on top heels, not faces, so losing Lesnar would be a huge blow. Whereas RAW has Hunter, Orton/Batista, Kane and Christian starting to get a push, so I dont see them needing more heels. |

Having Lesnar move back to RAW would only help bury the buried in RVD, Booker, and such.

My gawd
Brock is Evolution is another bad idea, Brock's gimmick totally clashes with what Evolution is. Beyond that why whould Orton play second fiddle to someone else? The whole point of the next year for Orton should be him dominating with the IC title, and then believing that he is better than HHH and Flair and try to take over the group. If he plays second in command to a new leader he looks like a punk, because if he was any good he would take over leadership himself. And why is Lesnar jobbing to Jerihco, what good would that do? |

I think after wrestlemania they should give Brock time off. Just because he's constantly shoved down our throats we need a break.

I think its very annoying when guys get together who have fueded, especailly when its been recent, and then they pretend like they were never enemies. With these four guys, you have WGTT who would have heat with Angle from their break-up, Angle and Lesnar obviously have heat, and even WGTT and Lesnar have heat from the build up to Mania XIX. So that should all be recognized. The tie would be that they all feel they are the best athletes in the WWE, and everyone else are fruads. Ive used an anology to jocks from College or High School, where they dont necessarily like one another (ie football team isn't always buddy buddy with the basketball team), but they think they are better than all the non-athletes in the school. Thats how I would book this faction. So yeah you could have lesnar and Angle get in each other's face, but they work together to prove they are the best. |

Man, that stable could go down as one of the greatest of all-time if booked right and if they stay together for a while. And I would book it like that too HBK2K. It's seems more realistic that way in that the past history stays in tact with the four wrestlers.

This is why I feel that in the absence of Triple H and Goldberg, atleast one of Angle or Lesnar needs to be on Raw. As far as WM XXI is concerned, I wouldn't mind if Triple H defeated Brock Lesnar cleanly. ![]() Quote:
Also - I don't think Triple H was THAT successful in burying Goldberg that much (if he actually does play a large role in "burying" people like you seem to think). Granted - Goldberg wasn't pushed like he was in WCW, but he still ended up getting a World title reign (including clean victories over Hunter). If Trips was willing to do this to Goldberg, then I'm sure he'd be willing to do this with Lesnar. Quote:
People countering this stable, would be Guerrero, Cena, Taker, and a returning Edge. Speaking of Edge, he would have beef with.........one of Benjamin and Hass for putting him out of commission (Hass/Benjamin being the ones who attacked Edge at last year's No Way Out PPV should help them get more heel heat).

I'd say one of two things have to happen: 1) Lesnar defeats Austin in a very close match.....one that last a good 15-20 minutes. 2)Austin defeats Lesnar, only to return the favor a month later (kind of like what may happen with Foley/Orton). Quote:
The top heels would be Angle, Edge, and Christian (who comes to SD in the proposed Lesnar deal), while the top faces would be Cena, Guerrero, and Taker. I also proposed that guys like Storm and Hurricane become a part of Smackdown so that perhaps they could be further developed (especially Lance Storm). However - your 'shooter' stable sounds like a much better idea IMO. Good call. ![]() |

[QUOTE=I made the post saying that if Edge is going to Raw, then Lesnar should stay on Smackdown. My "hope" was that perhaps Lesnar could go to Raw, while Edge could come back to Smackdown as a heel (although they would have to drop the whole "who hit Edge?" storyline if they did that).[/QUOTE]
Honestly does the "average" wrestling fan actaully remember the "who his edge" storyline that put him out??? it was a year ago. The wwe would forget to mention it all together and it wouldn't raise too big an eyebrow. |

QUESTION (for everyone........not just CyNick). If Edge does go to Raw, would you like to see Smackdown get compensated somehow?...........like Rob Van Dam for instance? -RVD is another guy who MIGHT be able to get pushed as a main-eventer on Smackdown in the distant future -RVD has shown to have good chemistry with Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, and Eddie Guerrero. -RVD would be re-united with Paul Heyman. Who knows? Maybe RVD can even become a heel again like he was in ECW (in the distant future). An RVD/Guerrero match could be awesome. If Kidman ever manages to get over, a RVD/Kidman match would be cool as well. |

If the WWE does not compenstae Edge for a quality star such as RVD then they are risking losing way too much talent to Raw. RVD would fit perfectly over with the SD lineup. Even if he doesnt jump right into the title picture a feud with Cena would be classic. Besides Some awesome feuds with Lesnar, Guerrero and Angle. As it is RVD is letting the world pass him by on Raw. At least on SD Heyman would have an idea about the "marketablility" of RVD, and would use him properly instead of booking him in useless filler matches. |
