Brock/Sheamus would be cool.
2 dudes going harder than anyone else.

Add Brock (as monster heel) vs Bryan (technical submission badass underdog) to that list and you have my money. Punk vs Brock would be great as well and I am happy to see it on if this newz is real

I want to see Brock vs Barrett.
Would be a good match and, if they play up Wade's bareknuckle background it would be an entertaining feud. Bareknuckle champ vs MMA champ.

Brock vs Orton sounds awful
Wouldn't mind Brock vs Sheamus

Is this current "Lots of money for a few shows a year" thing really doing it for anyone? I'm a fan of Brock and all but unless there's some big payoff, I'm not exactly seeing the upside to having him work so few days.

I'm a fan of Brock and all but unless there's some big payoff, I'm not exactly seeing the upside to having him work so few days. It makes Brock seem like a big deal. Like, he'll just randomly show up and wreck some havoc now and then when he feels like it and gets a big PPV match. If he was featured weekly since his return last year I'd probably already be sick of him by now. |

I agree with you. I dont mind it with Rock because hes arguably my fave all time. I dont dislike Brock, but since he's been back, its not been interesting since the first go around with Cena. |

I wish they'd just keep him from WM to SummerSlam instead of doing another on-again-off-again schedule. Then they could bring him back at WM30 for one last match and call it a day.

Is the WWE even making money off of this deal? 2 matches for millions of dollars. I know the WWE is a multi-million dollar company, so they can't be that dumb, but sometimes I wonder.

Is the WWE even making money off of this deal? 2 matches for millions of dollars. I know the WWE is a multi-million dollar company, so they can't be that dumb, but sometimes I wonder. It's most likely worthwhile. It's not so much that Brock being there is going to immediately earn the difference between what they spend now vs what they spend now + brock because of THAT many extra PPV buys and merch sales. Possible but doubtful. What's more likely though, is that more people will watch for him and hopefully get into watching the WWE for other things too. It can trickle to other areas of the company too. For example lets say Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar have a feud that gets lots of time on RAW. Fans are into it and watch a bit more. In the big payoff match Bryan gets a big win and is elevated from it to be a top guy. Bryan starts selling lots of merch and maybe he draws more on PPV. They could gain more revenue because of something like that for a long period, after Lesnar is gone. Companies like WWE are going to be experienced in that type of cost benefit analysis, as they have regularly done such things in the past. In fact they're doing it right now for The Rock and did it last year in the build to mania as well. I don't know what Rock was paid to show up but I remember that mania did a massive buyrate. Lets say with some ordinary stuff headlining instead of Rock vs Cena it did 850,000 buys instead of 1,000,000. Well 150,000 * $60 is 9 million dollars. Sure WWE passes a fair amount of that to the cable providers but we can probably say whatever they paid Rock was worth it. So special examples like that can even pay for themselves in the short term. |

Punk vs Brock would be great as well and I am happy to see it on if this newz is real I was just thinking about this last night. I really want to see a full on, multi month/PPV feud between Bryan & Brock. They would put on some terrific matches IMO! |

I want to see Brock vs anybody but Triple H.
I wish he would work a medium schedule. Something like PPV, most Raw's and a few big house shows. I think there is a lot of money to be made in Brock, more than there ever would've been had he stayed with the company in 2004.

for very few dates per year), the big matches being talked about for 2013 are Brock vs. CM Punk and Brock vs. Randy Orton. Brock vs. Orton had been discussed for last year but plans change.
