In the old days id absolutely agree with you Art, problem is the E has 5 hours of programming to fill for each week without a ppv and 8 with one. The guy comes at the end of the WWE hot season with VERY limited dates against a guy who took the biggest L of his career. Lesnar whooped his ass just to lose to two moves. That part I hate. But, and just like in the indies, you bring in a big money name to your company to put over your talent that's staying around. All of that is the lesser reason why Brock will be jobbed out.
Ready for the main one? Vince books lesnar this way as a subliminal to Dana White, UFC and its fans as if to say my guys can beat your guys and I can buy any of them off to get it done. Its penis envy with Vince. It ALWAYS is. Brock losing to Cena and now HHH puts an air of superiority of WWE to UFC.
At least its the only way I can begin to rationalize it.
shyt is crazy,..that vince really thinks.
people believe that wrasslin is not a work, still.
his lack of outside stimuli is killing this product in the information age.
imo, his lack of outside stimuli has always hurt his company, but that is for another thread.
anyway,..his idea of my homegrown guy is better than your homegrown guy.
has legitimately been dead, for more than twenty years.
since flair in 92,...plus it definately was dead as an ideal and draw.
when he ruined the biggest possible money making event to re-ignite another boom period.
in the wcw/ecw invasion angle.
so for him to continue to book this ideal is short sighted ignorance.
plus a plague to this company's profitability.
if brock had won this cena match and was going into summerslam.
versus punk to end the summer of punk.
who was using and put brock in the pedigree, and still lost the title.
it would elevate this company in draw.
as it would have a compelling unstoppable monster storyline.
plus a great chasing the title angle to draw off of.
as cripple ache could then be inserted into the brock fold.
appease his ego and take the title off of brock.
then re-insert the rock into the title picture.
by having cripple ache pedigree the rock in the title hunt.
cena shows back up with the mitb briefcase later,...much to the chagrin of the now heel big show.
cena tease the aa to big show to build him back up, at mania.
brock takes the hw strap off of ziggler.
cena takes the hw strap off of brock, in a rematch.
brock is gone until his little dates says he shows up, to job to taker at mania.
cena versus big show at mania and aa's big show, to retain.
rock vs cripple ache at mania.
rock goes over cripple ache.
cena runs down with mitb after rock wins.
cena wins the wwe title from rock and unifies the title.
cena goes undefeated with said unified title.
till cena, loses the unified title to taker at the next mania.
this, shyt is not hard to pull off, bookingwise.
