Orton/Brock is the MUCH More Interesting Match Up

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Not only has it NEVER happened (not that I can recall anyway), but there's so many different ways to book it. The obvious way would probably be keeping Orton as the heel and have Brock be the anti-hero face, who really doesn't give a shit what the fans think, but is still booked to be cheered regardless.

Yeah, but Cena is Cena, and the WWE is out of touch.

I know it's happened at least once, but that was during Orton's jobber with a flying crossbody days.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Brock is best as the monster heel.

And I don't think bigger guys that can "work" should ever be faces. As heels, they make good monsters for the face to go up against, but as faces they would (and should) be too over-powered, and no heel can be a credible threat to them.

I Know

I'm hoping they do Orton/Brock at Elimination Chamber though even though it's probably more likely to be Cena/Brock. Whoever Brock faces though I don't see it happening at Mania, which makes me wonder if they do Brock/Whoever at Elimination Chamber, what the prize will be for the Chamber winner if the Rumble winner is already scheduled to take on the top champion at Mania.

Yeah, I wasn't completely sure hence why I put in that parenthesis part. Still, like you said there's a world of difference from when it last happened.

Agreed Brock is best as a monster heel. It's just that Orton seems to have a lot more potential in his current heel role than he would if they changed him back to a face. I could actually see Brock working as that anti-hero face though if Orton was booked as a strong and cunning champion who will do anything to retain his title so fans just really want to see Brock hand Orton his ass. However, up to this point Orton's been booked fairly weakly as champion, semi-clean win against Cena notwithstanding.

[Renslayer]

I really don't think that match would be good.

[JTG Fan]

Eh. Orton vs. Rock always interested me (I really thought it would happen back in 04 at Summerslam) but I can't say I've had any desire to see Bork vs. Orton.

[Germansuplex]

I would love to see them book Orton/Lesnar and let the audience decide who to cheer. I think it could work.

Edit: Also, it should be a great match.

[The Beast Disincarnate]

Brock will fight a returning Sheamus, this is the match we should have had one year ago instead of that Trips/Brock crappy trilogy.

This is the fight I want to see and the only believable threat for Lesnar kayfabe wise.

[crowwreak was WRONG]

They've only faced eachother in a dark tag match. (Lesnar/Shelton vs Orton/H20) and Orton won with a cross body

If they want Brock as a monster heel, neither Orton nor Cena will get him booed. Most crowds will be giving him Stone Cold/Rock reactions as he is destroying them.

True, another reason why Brock just doesn't work as a heel against this hypothetical match with Orton (at least as it stands now).

Cena and Brock going at it again?

I'll take that over just about anything.
