You can't give a man so much so soon, and expect him to fully appreciate it. Personally - here's what I would have done with Lesnar -Have him win KOTR 2002 (as the WWE did) -Let him go cleanly over The Rock at Summerslam (as the WWE did) -KEEP HIM HEEL. One mistake the WWE made I believe, is that they turned Lesnar face way too fast...due to the fact that he was receiving some decent cheers. The WWE has to realize that ALL great heels get decent cheers at times due to the awesomeness of the character. -Keep him undefeated, and have him win the Royal Rumble. -Have Kurt Angle go over Lesnar at Wrestlemania....handing Lesnar his first loss. This would have achieved two things: 1) Angle would have gone over big time with the fans, and probably would have become a gargantuous face. 2) Lesnar himself would have become an enormous face. At this point in time, the fans would have been creaming their pants at the idea of cheering for Lesnar. Lesnar would have received a huge pop had he F5's Heyman after the match (Heyman would have slapped him for losing or something). Speaking of premature face turns, the WWE made the exact same mistake with Randy Orton two years later at Summerslam.

Why would you have a then 25 year old Lesnar with the world of potential and hugely over with the fans book him to go undefeated into the last match in front of 54,097 people at the biggest show of the year and lose to a guy nearly 10 years older than he is and at the time was going into neck surgery following the event and would be out for a few months? Especially since before that he wins KOTR, Royal Rumble, and crushes Hogan and Rock in clean victories, then goes to 'Mania and loses to Angle? Doesn't seem right.

You couldn't keep Brock heel at that time. People were just cheering him too much which is why they turned him face. Hence why they did that with Austin and Rock.

I don't know if I am the only one that doesn't see the sense in that, but I think that would be a horrible thing to do with Brock.
