Anyone know what his WWE pay is compared to his UFC pay? There's the officially announced pay. Brock made $400,000 for UFC 141 (Where he lost in Round 1 at 1:41) There's usually a percentage of gate and PPV purchases for the big, name draws. These are undisclosed but definitely profitable. There's potential bonuses. Performance of the Night is usually an extra $50,000. So a possible one night profit of three quarters of or a straight up million. Brock Lesnar's signed deal with the WWE (according to WON [According to The Sports Courier{According to the Google Search I Made}]) is somewhere in the area of 30-35 appearances for an estimated $5 million. Between $140,000 to $167,000 an appearance. So...I don't know. He'll make money.

Honestly just have Cena beat Lesnar at the Rumble and then have Cena drop the belt to Roman at Mania. No reason to drag out the Lesnar reign and if they do the likely conclusion is that the crowd shits on his match like they did at WrestleMania XX. I think Cena will win at Rumble, Brock hits him with F5 after the match, Rollins cashes in, and at Mania it's Rollins vs Reigns vs Ambrose for the title. Brock goes on to face Dolph.

Dolph forced to retire after he sells an F5 by flopping into the fifth row.

I think it'd be a mistake on Brock's part to go back, outside of an assuredly MASSIVE payday.

The streak ending (and indeed the cena squash at summerslam) was all about building the next guy who beats Brock. Whoever it is, likely Roman Reigns, I think it absolutely should be at mania. Anything less would be a waste, especially given the disappointing way WWE has used Lesnar's dates in that they didn't have him defend the belt at every ppv.
The bigger mistake was having Lesnar look vulnerable to Cena at Night of Champions, but that can be fixed by having Lesnar squash him at the Rumble and squash someone else at Fast Lane (awful name).
If Lesnar is indeed leaving right after mania, and they do go with him facing Roman at the show, maybe Lesnar winning through nefarious tactics after getting al most beaten might be a more interesting way to go. Roman could lay him and Heyman out after the bell, allowing Rollins to cash in. A little less obvious a route to go, but if it can't be Daniel Bryan I don't really have an issue with it being Roman Reigns who slays the Beast.

One Match Extension:
WWE Extreme Rules: Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar.
Orton punts Lesnar, finally ridding the WWE of Lesnar once and for all. Orton gets to use his punt once again, and he can add Lesnar to RVD, HBK, and Jericho as others hes punted out of the WWE.

I guess I'm the only one who's enjoyed Lesnar as part-time champion?
I'm thinking they were always looking long-term at this- build Lesnar up so the person who eventually beats him gets off to a strong start as champion

I still can't get my head around the fact that they're paying Lesnar an estimated $5M on a limited schedule and they've booked him in three matches with John Cena, three matches with Triple H and a match with Big Show. What a mind-blowing waste of money.

What a mind-blowing waste of money. To be fair he probably would have faced Daniel Bryan instead of Cena the last two times if Bryan hadn't gotten hurt.

He just plain hasn't been there or even been mentioned most of the time. Though whether this run were any good or not, I still think it's time for Lesnar to go. They've stopped screwing over the roster any time Rock wants a paycheck and the Batista thing didn't work out, so maybe once they get Sting out of their system and Brock leaves they can actually try and focus on the present for once.

Cena and Bryan being Lesnar's only possible opponents shines a light on a bigger problem with WWE.

I like the part-timeness of it, it's very old-school. And I like how his rare appearances means I mark out like it's still real to me dammit when he does appear

I don't get why everyone says this title run is a failure... What's the difference between this run and any other in the last ten years? It's not defended every week? Back in the day the title wasn't defended at the Rumble or Survivor Series...In my opinion this run has done MORE for the title than any other reign in a decade. Now it's a BIG deal when the champ shows up and since he's been dominate this whole time... It will be a BIG deal for whoever beats him.
The only thing that has been bad about this reign is Cena is pretty much the only guy who's had the chance to slay the monster

That's it. By the time we reach the Rumble he'll have had it for five months, only faced one guy, and he lost that title defense after being curbstomped for about five minutes straight at the end of it and got bailed out then laid out by someone else entirely.

THREE MATCHES WITH HHH.
I still can't get over that. Inexcusable. Who the f*** wanted to see that match three times?

I LOVED Summerslam, and was salivating at the next step of what could've been awesome; particularly since Brock is legitimately one of my top five favorites ever. But he hasn't had a 'run'. He's been on-screen what, a half dozen times, since winning? The bulk of that was the rematch against Cena; then he flat out dissappeared for months. Hell, many weeks they didn't even mention him.

Because I guess it doing nothing to move the bar at Night of Champions didn't mean anything to them. And it'd be nice if they'd, y'know, at least trot out a gimmick this time to try and keep it interesting, but this is the same company where for the same show last year they were saying, "If you thought Cena / Orton in TLC was intense, TRADITIONAL MATCH IS NEXT! HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS!"

There's one big difference between an old school title that wasn't defended all the time and Brock's. When it was say Hogan only wrestling for the title a few times a year (we'll just ignore the house show stuff for the purposes of the comparison), he at least was still a presence on the shows. It may've only been a promo or video package, but you were well aware where the Hulkster was, and that he was champion brother. You were also well aware of guys gunning for him, and who he was facing next, and whether or not that person could contend with the 24 inch pythons dude. In short, even when he wasn't rasslin, Hulkamania was runnin wild on you.
Brock's been barely even MENTIONED.
