You say Batista/Lesnar is a bad thing.

But yeah, like I said in the Raw thread, Seth can wrestle and lose to Roman in hour two, Bryan can live the impossible dream and beat Lesnar only for Seth to cash in and ruin his big moment.

I probably wouldn't do that - I'd maybe have Rollins start to do that only for the whole roster to march down and stop him, combined with Sting having beaten Triple H earlier in the night to kill the Authority for good (until they take power for real and come right back anyway). Could always have Rollins cash in a couple of months later or something.

Would be down for an ending where Seth tries to cash in, only to be stopped by every face, led by either Reigns, Ambrose, or Dolph. I'd maybe even have Rollins actually lose the cash-in, perhaps serving as the ultimate karmic justice for months and months of scumbaggery.

I hope that you also aren't one of the ones who says that if Reigns wins then Rollins should cash in on him because it's the same exact principle of ruining someone's moment

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Bryan, Ziggler, and Ambrose are my top three picks

Barrett would admittedly be a wildcard pick in there too.

No, I don't think that should happen. I think Rollins should cash in on him quickly because Reigns is going to need an actual story arc going forward and a chase people will care about because the Lesnar one's not personal enough, but I wouldn't do it the night of.

[Slammy Award-Winning Cannibal]

I think if Brock is confirmed to leave the company, definitely feed him to Bryan.

What if Bryan vs. Rollins instead. Stipulations would be: if Bryan wins, the Authority goes away forever; if Bryan loses, he's done.

I'd prefer this instead of "Unstoppable beast deemed more powerful than God" vs "185 pound guy coming off of major neck surgery" in a Disney believe in yourself and you can do anything ending

Forget all that. This is strictly about how Lesnar has kick ass matches with the more smaller guys. Eddie, Punk, Rey, etc. Some of the best work of his career.

[Blindkarevik]

The WWE finally has their safe-bet. They can build Roman up to the day of the Rumble... but if they just don't feel like he's getting enough support going into Wrestlemania. They can throw Bryan in there and have a guaranteed interest spike.

No thanks. After that promo, now is the perfect time to turn Daniel Bryan heel and make him a Paul Heyman guy. Ziggler turning heel and feuding with Cena is something that also needs to happen ASAP.

Please tell me you're joking.

Yeah, Bryan/Lesnar will be fantastic, without a doubt. It's a match that makes the most sense and have the chance to be MOTY. It'll be much better than Lesnar vs. the under-developed Roman Reigns. And if there no BS, like the Authoriy pulling him out of match or whatever, there's no way Bryan's not winning. Unless they want a situation like they had early this year, Bryan will and should win. It's the chance for WWE to write the wrong they did last year.

I just don't buy Bryan being a threat to Lesnar. He's 175 pounds soaking wet with a brick in his pocket, how in the hell can he legitimately beat the Beast?

It's wrestling.

Plus, y'know, Bryan's a very fast, hard-hitting little ball of tenacity and rage. A lot of his matches are built around him getting most of the offense because he's a total glass cannon and anyone touching him absolutely wrecks him. That'd work well against Lesnar, and I can buy his heart, his speed, and his submission skills as enough to overcome him.

Reigns is the one I have trouble seeing it with. Him and Lesnar work the same style except Lesnar is faster, stronger, and bigger, and he's much more technically proficient than Reigns is with a much bigger arsenal at his disposal. I don't see an area where someone like Reigns could reasonably overcome him while I totally see it with Bryan.

Easy. Play up his great wrestling. Not the strongest guy but if he has you locked in, 2 choices, tap or get something broken.

Also, DBry never lost the belt. How can Brock really call himself champ if he never beat the man.

I used the it's wrestling argument when people would bitch about Mysterio winning against anyone bigger than him, but when it comes to Lesnar I have to buy into the guy he's up against. I would much rather see Cena beat Lesnar at the Rumble than see Bryan beat him at Mania.

 It's a match that makes the most sense 

Nailed every other point except this one.

I dunno man, Ziggler makes more sense on the basis that he was here, you know? Ziggler winning might not be the right thing, but it's the logical thing.

Well, it's not like Bryan was slouching before he went out, and he's still never really gotten the run he earned plus he never lost the title. I think there's more of a story there than with Ziggler, though Dolph would work fine too.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Yeah, I do want this. Bryan's offense looks strong and I think once he's in the ring he can look believable against Lesnar. I won't get my hopes up, but I do want to see Bryan win the Rumble and then beat Brock at Mania. Again, I'm not getting my hopes up but that's what I hope we get.

Bryan winning tells a better story. He was injured for months, and has now come back to claim the belt that he never lost. But, what stands in his way is a 250 pound monster known as Brock Lesnar. It writes itself.

Never thought of it this way. Come to think of it Bryan winning would end up creating multiple stars.

250 pounds? Is WrestleMania on the moon this year?

That's actually probably about right, they bill him at 280 and he's been clearly slimming down.
