How would you book Bryan vs Lesnar?

[mcstoklasa]

Lets say Bryan and Lesnar have a straight up one on one match at a future PPV. It is a match that a lot of us would like to see.

How would you want the match to go? Would you be happy with Bryan fighting for his life but losing, ultimately? Should Bryan fight valiantly but get destroyed? Should the much smaller man get a clean win over The Beast? Would Lesnar destroying Bryan be hated by you?

Of course circumstances and storyline would influence how the match would go, and we don't know if it would be heel lesnar or perhaps face vs face, but putting that aside, how would you book it?

For me, in a straight one on one, non title match, I'd have Brock demolish Bryan, but Bryan fight valiantly.

The dominant champion vs the guy who never lost the belt.
The ultimate underdog vs the monster.
Wrestling vs MMA.
Passion vs money.
Would The Authority support Bryan if they thought Brock was leaving with the belt?
The comeback story.
Can Bryan's neck survive multiple suplexes? Can Bryan's arm withstand the kimura lock? Can Bryan even apply the Yes lock and would Brock ever tap even if he did?

There were just so many threads dangling there that could have been sewn into a classic storyline and match.

Still what we got was great and the classic match is still a possibility even if it's unlikely the writers can come up with a story to match it (although tbh it doesn't strictly need one) so oh well, no ill feelings over it.

I can also understand why WWE and Bryan himself didn't want to risk him being in the main-event, it's OK looking back in hindsight but when Bryan first returned there may have been a lot more doubts over his health.

Same as I'd book Brock vs anyone, Brock SMASH for 3/4 of the match, get some good hope spots near the end, then Brock MURDER!!

Obviously with Bryan, you work in a few "chopping him down" spots with him using his kicks to slow down Lesnar but at the end of the day, it should go just like Cena as SummerSlam. Which is how Brock should look against everyone in 1 on 1 situations.

[Allie Kitsune]

It all depends on how Brock is being booked going into the match, and if the "Run Brock out of WWE" situation was involved.

I mean, either way, Bryan's taking a trip to Suplex City (word I prefer not to use except as a synonym for "complain"), but everything else would be entirely dependent on Brock.

[mcstoklasa]

On another note, and this was someone elses idea.. A Bork vs Rollins match would be great if Rollins kept landing on his feet every time Lesnar tried to German Suplex him, meanining Brock would have to try some other smash mouth tactic.

I'd like to see Bryan challenge him. Regardless of the outcome, just the mere fact of Bryan issuing the challenge kind of makes him badass.
Maybe have Lesnar go undefeated for a while before Bryan issues said challenge if hes going to go over.

This. Simple and to the point. Maybe even have Lesnar scoff at the idea and then Bryan surprises him by putting him into the yes lock.

Underdog that everyone says has no chance vs invincible monster who everyone thinks will kill him.


It's simple.

45 mins, both guys blade, Bryan wins after hitting three running knees.

I'd have Bryan put a metal plate on his knee or something

[Professor Chaos]

Lesnar pounds him into oblivian but Bryan won't stay down or give up. Brie comes out to stop it and he suplexes her too. Then Nikki comes out and gets the same. Cena runs out to defend his woman and wins.

[SkullTrauma]

I wouldn't.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I'm not sure this is a viable match at the moment.

People want to see Brock wreck people right now. People also want to see Bryan succeed right now. Someone is getting squared pegged no matter how you look at it.

[mcstoklasa]

But have Bryan sneak a win in the rematch

[Jeff Mangum PI]

If you guys always booked WWE, Andre would've beaten Hogan in a four minute sqaush.

[saintpat]

I'd start with 18 to 20 suplexes, then ...

...

That's all I've got.

I enjoy seeing Bork do what he does best. Which is Bork.

Nah, Bork can actually move 4 feet without almost breaking down.

I wouldn't book it like the Cena and Reigns matches. Instead, I'd have Bryan immediately take the fight to Lesnar, taking a lot of quick shots, ducking him constantly, and using every submission imaginable to slowly wear him down. I'd basically have Brock completely unable to touch him for the first few minutes while Bryan chips away at him, until eventually after like ten minutes of that he catches Bryan offguard and takes his head off, then it turns into something more like Lesnar's recent standard.
