Surprised no one has bashed this yet since it's from Meltzer. I know how you all hate him so much.
Anywho, if Orton tapped into his psychotic side (seeing that hugging segment between him and Kane/Bryan on Raw made me cringe), he could have a good serious feud with Brock. This idea wouldn't work since they banned the punt kick (bastards) but it would have been a nice spot if Orton punt kicked Brock and Brock kicked out. And then after Brock beats Orton, he punt kicks Orton in a wonderful turning-the-tides sort of moment. They then try to help Orton out before Orton gathers himself and walks out on his own... Or maybe he doesn't.
I mentioned in another thread that Punk/Brock could obviously write itself with the Heyman connection. When/If Punk turns face, he could cross Heyman in some way and dump him, and then Heyman has Brock destroy Punk. This sets up the feud. I don't want to see Punk going over Lesnar, though, although if this is the way the angle plays out, it would make sense.
If Austin does indeed come back for another match next year, I'd rather Austin/Brock than Austin/Punk. The latter would be better for promos but the former would be more personal in the ring.
