I'd like to see him actually wrestle on most of his Raw appearances.

If WWE want to throw money away then they should do this. Why would you have one of the biggest PPV draws of this era wrestle on television where fans can see it for free? That is something WCW did a lot and look how things ended up for them. Everytime Lesnar wrestles in this deal, and I doubt it will be more than half a dozen times it should be on PPV so that fans have to pay to see it.

Thing is with lesnar... you can't just give him any ole opponent to start off with. It has to be someone with some name value. Plus gotta advertise the hell out of it to help give Raw that boost in ratings cause Raw has been getting average numbers for the past year. They need a boost and Brock wrestling on Raw would provide that boost but if its against someone like Zach Ryder... who in the hell is going to care?

Cause we know he is going to fight John Cena at a future PPV... and it is going to be a big PPV... not one of the minor ones. Either SummerSlam, Survivor Series, or Mania. So there is plenty of time to build that feud. I'd say let him fight like Cody, Big Show, just someone with some name value that way the match won't seem like just a complete waste.

Shoot... Lesnar vs. Miz. Miz could hype the crap out of it. He was the one that won the match for team Johnny. He is finally doing something. He still has a name. he was one of the two for Rock's return match at Survivor Series, former WWE champion, ... Miz/Lesnar would be good for a ratings boost, get things going, just... yeah. 2/3 weeks ahead of time the match is announced and Miz hypes it up, gets a couple wins in the upcoming weeks, then boom... match time.

I would like to know how Rhodes has more value then Ryder. I think Ryder is way more over with the crowd then Rhodes is. Never heard a "We want Rhodes" chant before. Just saying.

I think it would be smart for young up and comers to all try their hand at Lesnar. Of course he'll win them all, but make them look strong in it. People like Miz, Rhodes, Ryder, Ziggler, Kingston, Bryan. I think they could benefit with working with someone like Lesnar.

Ryder is definately more over, but I have to admit that I'd put my money on Cody for potential.

The thing with comparing those two is they are playing different roles. Ryder is the face so he is supposed to be cheered by the crowd whereas Rhodes has been a heel these past few years. Rhodes isn't meant to be liked by the crowd and he has done a good job as a heel. Rhodes would be a much better choice to fight Lesnar because he is more over, he is higher up the card, is a better wrestler and would be taken seriously in the match. Lesnar is back as a face so if they wanted to feed him an up and comer it would be a heel like Rhodes, Ziggler or Barrett rather than a face like Ryder.

He's a returning big name, that's why. Even Jericho STILL gets cheered during his entrance, so I wouldn't be surprised if Lesnar continues to act like a full fledged heel but still get cheered. That's porbably what he meant by Lesnar being a face. It's inevitable he'll get cheered.

Well if you take it that way, even the WWE takes initially Cena as a heel, although he is a face persona himself. He's a heel face, if you know what I mean.

Sounds weird but I see the point.

Fans won't boo him so WWE will have to play him as a face. Fans were cheering like crazy when he returned and cheered even louder when he hit the F5 even though it was on the top face, admittedly it was a very hardcore crowd but still he will be cheered. Plus if WWE want to go Cena vs. Brock they don't need to have a heel, it can be face versus face just like Rock vs. Cena was.

Tbh, I wouldn't mind him Wrestling. I don't want each big return to go down The Rock route. Although a run in would be better than anything The Rock did.
