For some reason I have a slight feeling that Lesnar will return to interfere in the match.

This should be No Holds Barred to make it better. These are intense animals, and they should just beat the hell outta each other

Well my interest in the show just went up then. I had no interest at all in Orton vs Roman. Funny thing is, I am not really a fan of Drew either. But the match is now more interesting as a curiousity.

You can never say "The next Stone Cold vs The Rock" this kind of thing have to happen naturally and not be forced.

Agreed. WWE never tried to make Daniel Bryan their popular guy, it just happened. In fact, they were interested in pushing Batista over John Cena and Cena became the bigger star.

Forcing wrestlers to be something and trying to tell the fans how they should feel has never worked. They tried it with the Rock and they tried it with Roman Reigns. Both times it failed when they forced it.

Yes, when they say or force things like "the next stone cold, the next the rock, etc" it actually hurts the talent who is doing the work cause it puts him up against the legends from the past, I really don't like when they try to do that.

It is actually one of the reasons Hulk Hogan worked well. He wasn't billed as the next anything. He was not compared to Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Andre the Giant or Billy Graham. They let him be himself and that caught on.

I noticed that whenever Hogan would go and entertain he'd be the most less stressed person out there.

It was because he was getting paid to be Hogan like you said.

Agreed, and that pretty much lasted through his entire career. And although I dislike the man personally, his character was never awkward. He was able to use his bombastic personality as a face and easily switched to a cowardly heel in the NWO. It's hard to not respect that.

But what Triple H believes is that he can turn these guys into "Hogan and Flair" or "Rock and Austin"

To me Drew seem to have a better chance of being like HHH. But that's my opinion.
