We know it's bad business because a WrestleMania payoff is what will draw and has drawn the most money. Not a one-off vanity win for HHH in the middle of Lesnar's deal. And no, they will not keep paying to see a monster get beat over and over again. He's not that kind of heel. He's not Honky Tonk Man or even Ted DiBiase. He's a monster (a legit monster with real-life credibility that casual people believe can kill dudes legit). And monster's are worthless when shown to be continuously vulnerable. And unlike others who perservered like Kane, given angles to make up for looking human, Brock won't have that. He's going to have 3 matches (maybe 4) total. And in those 3, he needs to win at least one for momentum going into the one that matters, because we won't ever see him again after that. If Batman beat the s*** out of Bane in the beginning of Dark Knight Rises, would it even matter if Batman did it again? If Rocky beat Clubber Lang out of the gate, who'd care about Lang after that, or even a rematch? Wrestling is a movie. These things should progress logically. Not be fodder for an insecure man who truly believes fake pinning people makes him the best ever. That said, I don't even care if it is in fact HHH that beats Brock in the end at WRESTLEMANIA. That might even be poetic justice that HHH, as COO and eventual heir-apparent, runs the guy out of town after suffering his mandatory Rocky 3 destruction in their first match. And if not? HHH needs to channel Rocky 4 and take his needed Apollo Creed killing, and let the real hero shine in the end. Here is my main problem with the "monster" deal. Brock has never once been portrayed as an actual monster since he came back. Every single time he showed up Brock comes across as just some jackass who picks on guys smaller than him and thinks he's entitled to everything because he is "legit." He's not a monster. He was never a monster. Did you even watch his match with Cena? It was like a snuff film. He beat Cena so bad and believably that even dudes who hated him wanted to see him fight back and win. Cena got like twenty seconds of offense in the whole match. If that's not a monster, I don't know what is.

WWE might pull the "HHH lost the match....but Lesnar was the one who needed assistance to leave the ring" kind of thing, like they did with the Undertaker. Win or lose, HHH will look good. They will protect him either way.

You'll see what we're talking about. Lesnar's whole presence and brutality in that match will make you a believer. He wasn't 2002-04 WWE Brock Lesnar in that match, he was a killer and something totally unique.

He wasn't 2002-04 WWE Brock Lesnar in that match, he was a killer and something totally unique. I haven't seen it but I followed the thread on it here. I've never, ever read anything like that. People were legit convinced that Lesnar was shooting on Cena and, not on the "let's make it look really good" level but on a "Oh man, John, don't die...." note. Some people were like "This is the greatest thing I have ever seen" while others said they plain couldn't watch it. So, yeah, if you can get that sort of a response, you're a killer alright.

He wasn't 2002-04 WWE Brock Lesnar in that match, he was a killer and something totally unique. I almost thought he was hitting Cena for real and just brutally maiming him in that ring. I literally sat on the edge of my seating telling Cena to get up and fight back. I haven’t been so involved in a wrestling match in my entire life.
