You're right; there are so many elements at play, it makes it very interesting.
However, they had a similar scenario with the Rumble PPV, where a lot of us went in hoping for something interesting to happen, and, well, it didn't. Guess I've been burned by that. They have all the components to make something amazing, I just don't trust them to do it. |

But that was my point of this thread, just to hear everybody's personal ideas on how they would book it in a realistic way. All of the components could make this epic. And I like reading and laughing at the shit everyone says on the site, I've been on here every day for over a decade, but when everybody really posts their ideas, it usually ends up being a good read. |

So much smoke up my ass right now!  I was pretty much in line with Noid's thoughts; I wanted Bryan vs Lesnar at Mania. It writes itself; a guy pushed to the top of the card due to the groundswell of support from the audience, a guy that the company don't have to do much for to create support (unlike Reigns) because it's so organic. He never lost the title, and he'd be the personification of David vs Goliath in a match against Lesnar. The story they could tell in-ring would be amazing. But we have the problem of Reigns. The company want this guy to work, and I think they've a good chance...but they've messed up the timing. it may take years now to correct the situation; Reigns will spend time as a heel, develop a personality, and the crowd will get into him. I don't have a problem with Reigns, he's pretty decent, but I can see that people don't like him having the rocket strapped to him. The problem is compounded by the uncertainty over Lesnar's future with the company; if he's done at Mania, the audience know that Reigns walks away as champion - the match is easily telegraphed. Don't get me wrong; same situation with Bryan vs. Lesnar, however, I think the fans would prefer to go into Mania "knowing" that Bryan walks away as champion over Reigns taking the belt. I disliked the idea of shoe-horning Bryan into a Triple Threat for the second year in a row, then it dawned on me; it's the perfect set up to add in the element of uncertainty; we know someone is walking away as the newly crowned champion, the question now becomes who? Seth Rollins is the wildcard in all of this; could a first-ever cash-in at Mania be on the horizon? Bryan/Reigns wins the belt only to have it snatched away by Rollins, setting up the post-Mania landscape seems like a good way to go. People will complain that "that's not how you end a Mania", but you can't always have the "feel-good babyface wins in the end" fairytale ending to Mania every year. With The Authority likely vanquished by Sting at Mania, it's a way to have HHH get back at the Universe, and sets us up for a post-Lesnar WWE landscape. Is Rollins ready to be WWE Champion? He's had a great run as a heel, with J&J working as great heaters for him, and he can deliver in the ring, and on the mic. Maybe you roll the dice on him. I've even floated the idea that they have Lesnar retain the belt at Mania and do a title switch on the increasingly important "Raw After Mania", provided Lesnar will work one more day. =========== I think what I'm saying is; I don't know for certain what I'd do, or what they'll do, and that's great. Unfortunately we work out every possible route and outcome to these things and they can come of anti-climatic, but that's the nature of being part of the "IWC". I'm pretty excited to see where they go; but I said the same before the Rumble and they didn't pull the trigger on anything. Let's see how I feel after Fastlane. |
