I don't really understand how they are going to use all these guys on the same card. Could you really imagine Brock or Rock (unless they happen to be against each other, of course) not in the main event? Oh well, not complaining I guess.

I really hope they don't use those 6 in that way, just a total waste. I mean, what's the point in making stupid rematches where the winner is painfully obvious? HHH and Cena would obviously go over due to the storyline, and Taker's never gonna break the streak for a guy he's clearly never really liked. So what are we gonna achieve here? The only person that will be affected by this at all is Brock who will lose lot of credibility. HHH, Cena and Taker will presumably come out with the win and will gain the square root of f - all.

IF pushed right, I think Ryback would be PERFECT for the streak. You have a chance to create a star right there WWE; he doesn't have to go over, he just needs to compete and he will look like an absolute tank.

I will be absolutely raging if they just remove Punk from the Rock/Cena story. We all got bored of the fued before their 'once in a lifetime match', so I could see another few months of that being absolutely excruciating. Besides, Punk's basically been Raw since turning heel, the crowd fucking despise him, so not adding him would just be utter madness. In saying all this, I would have much rather seen Punk take on Rock one on one at 'Mania, however that seems to be out the question now they have this WWE title match at RR - so a triple threat seems like a good compromise.

Well, my plan for Brock would have been to have him face an aggressive face Daniel Bryan, where DB would have been booked as an underdog throughout only to eventually topple Lesnar and become the star which he can be, however this is obviously totally unrealistic given the direction Bryan's character has gone in.

As for HHH, he can just piss off. All he will do is take up TV time and centre stage somehow or another. He's pretty much available whenever WWE want him to be, so why waste him on a card which is already full? I honestly don't see the use in HHH at all, he's incapable of making a fued interesting, he won't put anyone over, so why can't he just go away and do his corporate shit?

But anyway, yeah, this would be my card. I know it's probably not as attractive as what WWE will create, but it will produce new stars, they can save all the money matches for WM30.

Bryan is far too much of a comedy character at the moment. There's absolutely no way he could be made to look like a serious threat to Brock in 6 months.

No he's not at all imo. He's been booked as the angry guy who's competitive with his tag-team partner and keeps winning (but loses against ADR on SmackDown -.-). Ofc they can book him against Brock, you can book both Bryan and Kane extremely easily in that feud.

Could you honestly take Bryan serious against Brock whilst he runs out to the ring shouting no with his 'goat' beard? I think it would look ridiculous.

Bryan could be fixed very simply in the inevitable feud with Kane that will come in the next couple of months. He just needs to fucking snap and beat the everloving shit out of Kane, sending him into retirement forever. And then never stoop to this comedy bullshit again. ever

He would have to drop that trash too

A serious, American Dragon type DB vs Bork would be all time awesome.

but you are probably right in your hunch that WWE isn't capable of building DB up to the level he would need to be in a short amount of time

You wouldn't book him like that. You keep the no's going as it's stupidly over and it'd be stupid not to capitalise on that. You just book him and Kane being competitive with each other and fighting because for whatever reason Bryan is facing Brock and not Kane. But in the mean time you book Bryan as this angry tough psychopath who just doesn't give up and is a challenge for anyone. You can even book him to go over HHH, but that wouldn't happen. Then you have it as Kane saving Bryan from having his arm broken and showing compassion, and having it basically as them vs Brock but it's still Bryan vs Brock but with Kane in Bryan's corner. Sure Bryan/Kane have comedic segments but they're far from a comedy team, they're a dominant tag-team at the moment in a revitalised tag-team division. No one has gone over DB cleanly in months (apart from this weeks SmackDown, from what I can see from spoilers).

I really don't see them ending their tag-team so soon to be honest, unless it loses momentum which I highly doubt.

Even if the Kane thing happened, he'd probably still get all the yes and goatface chants and what not. Against anyone else maybe, but Brock is a fucking machine who made HHH tap out a few months ago, it would look so unbelievable.

if you think those two shouting "I'm the tag team champion" at each other is going to continue to hold people's attention I respectfully disagree.

I agree for the most part. It's why we are getting Taker/Brock whether we like it or not (and I do like it)

There's absolutely no way that Bryan could be taken at all seriously with Kane in his corner. No matter what happens, they will always been seen as a comedy team. Yeah sure they can fight, but not with Brock Lesnar for crying out loud. He's been booked as one of the most legit badasses in the WWE at the moment.

How? That makes no sense. Of course they can be taken seriously, they're taken seriously now despite the overreaction of them being a comedy team. They have comedic segments, so did E&C, arguably the greatest tag-team ever, are they not a serious team? Comedy joke wrestlers are the Santino's, Doink The Clowns, Ryder's, etc. These two are certainly not that.

Kane and DB are booked as the dominant tag-team who hate each other but show compassion at the right times to keep their titles, and then go back to hating each other. It's fantastic booking, it's why it's such a success both with casuals and with the IWC. Brock being introduced would just make it twenty times better. It'd be the feud of the year I swear.
