Bryan vs Lesnar will turn out just fine because - as Punk said - Lesnar is a downright incredible seller.
He's perfected the art of "gradual selling" that makes him seem like such a machine. The first moves Bryan do he'll laugh off and suplex the shit out of him, then Bryan keeps pulling through and chipping away before eventually he's able to ground Lesnar to a big pop, you know the deal

The way I envision it, Bryan would probably hit him with a knee to the face right off the bat within the first thirty seconds or so. Lesnar catches him with a german suplex pretty quickly, only for Bryan to land on his feet (ala Rollins at the Rumble) and then runs full-force at him with the knee when he turns around. Knocks him through the middle rope to the outside, the crowd erupts into YES chants, then everyone's enthusiasm dies when Lesnar shakes it off as if someone just slapped him and jumps back on the apron for more, etc...

Brock's last day on his deal is the Raw after Mania...
Why do people keep thinking this means anything? You think WWE isn't busting ass to get him to re up? He may wind up doing other things, but it is up in the air. It is definitely nowhere near 100% he is leaving after Mania. I'd lean toward him staying, truthfully. Open up the checkbook Vince, your show will be pointless without Bork.

This post sums up a good amount of why I don't like Brock more nowadays I think. Money money money. And I understand, he's worth it totally, but that mentality is not what I find to be endearing in a performer. I would much rather see someone who has a love for the industry and strives to just be a good performer for WWE as much as possible. Whatever substantial amount they paid Brock - for what 6-12 appearances - was a ridiculous financial decision IMO. With the number of guys out there willing to take less to do more in the WWE, fuck that shit.

Brock is just playing the game. Good for him. He is the biggest draw in the industry bar none, and he is paid like it.

They need to open up and pay him to perform at every PPV and at least a couple of Raws a month, maybe include that he can catch a break after SS during the lame period. We. need. more. BORK

BORK ME MORE

THE BORK THERE IS THE BORK THERE WAS AND THE BORK THERE EVER WILL BE

REST IN BORK

More Brock equals less boring episodes/PPVs.

But yeah, him getting paid to work every PPV/a couple of RAWs a month like you mentioned is something I'd definitely want to see.

So technically, no one has the right to say Roman sucks on the microphone. He's been given shitty scripted promos by Vince, but that doesn't classify the entirety of his promo skills. He did great on the face to face with Lesnar on RAW and other occasions as well.

Roman is definitely NOT hopeless on the mic.

Remember the Looney Tunes-related and the fairytale promos, well... That was some horrendous content. Reigns had the mic skills to make it good.

So, everyone should grill Vince for writing shitty promos, not Roman.

To be honest, that promo he cut on SD that was about the Rumble and partially on Big Show was some good stuff. It just may as well be the best promo Reigns has ever done.

It is true, soon Reigns will be down to a select 5-move set he uses every match while selling all the other moves the incredibly talented opponent does. Just like Cena, its just look pretty controversey in the buisness according to Vince, Triple H though he does know whats right, Mr.McMahon thinks he can still control it all.

The 5 moves you talk about is the WWE style. Everyone has it, including people like Bryan, Punk, Sheamus, etc.
