why the hell wont Brock wrestle at HIAC?

Not making him work every single PPV keeps his aura of being a special attraction alive. They also save money by not having him appear every month.

Well, WWE negotiated a deal recently that said they can use Brock for however many dates they want from now till Wrestlemania, so the decision is likely their's.

Don't be surprised if they save Brock vs Big Show for Survivor Series. I'm praying it doesn't happen, but Survivor Series is the PPV where twelve years ago Brock had his first WWE Championship reign and his undefeated streak both ended simultaneously at the hands of the Big Show (completely ignoring the irony of Brock only losing because Paul Heyman turned on him and sided with Big Show that night.) So that gives them a small bit of story to build off of if they want to book another match.

I'd love to see Ambrose vs Rollins inside the cell as well and while I usually hate having two HIAC matches on the same show, I could live with it here. However, with reports of Brock Lesnar possibly not even wrestling at the PPV and with Cena looking like he's already transferred his anger over to Seth Rollins, that ending to Raw two nights ago makes me think the HIAC main event will be a 2-on-3 handicap match inside the cell between Cena/Ambrose and Orton/Rollins/Kane. Which I guess I can live with even though it's a lot less desirable than the alternative (especially with Survivor Series coming up, seeing as how this match can almost be saved as a traditional SS elimination match if Reigns and another partner join Cena and Ambrose while HHH joins Rollins, Kane and Orton.)

- I wouldn't be surprised, actually, as much as I would be annoyed with that kind of decision. Screw Big Show.

- You have a good point there, Lock. A 2-on-3 handicap match inside the HIAC is plausible... But I would much rather have Brock fighting Cena one last time at HIAC. There's a whole bunch of scenarios that could happen from now till the actual HIAC PPV, and from there till Survivor Series...

I feel they should at least have him at every PPV then. I mean he's the champ....the champ defends his title at every PPV...that simple.

If I had him skip any PPV, I'd prefer for it to be either TLC or the Royal Rumble.

With TLC, Heyman could show up the night after Survivor Series and say that after a year of total dominance that included ending the Undertaker's streak, winning the WWE Championship and steamrolling through people in four straight successful title defenses (he didn't lose the title at NOC, so his DQ loss shouldn't count), Brock Lesnar is gonna take the rest of the year off and has The Authority's permission to do so. (Although I'd love to see Brock in a TLC match.)

With the Royal Rumble, the Rumble match is the main attraction of the PPV, so you could either have Lesnar show up after the match and confront the Rumble winner as a way to build up anticipation for the main event of Wrestlemania, or you could just have Heyman show up at the Rumble PPV and conduct an interview backstage right before the Rumble match (or give an in-ring promo on Raw six days before the PPV) where he says Brock Lesnar is/will be at home watching the Rumble match to see just who will have the stones to challenge him for his title at Wrestlemania.

I mean I suppose Lesnar missing 1 PPV during his reign wouldn't matter too much...I do like the Royal Rumble idea better as having him miss TLC would suck.....having Lesnar in a TLC match would be awesome.
