oh no, I totally get your side of it bro. Brock, as of now, is the new phenom and seemingly unstoppable. Having anyone beat him clean seems unlikely. However, after Night Of Champions, Cena did prove that Brock can be exposed....Had Rollins not stepped in, Cena prob would have beaten Brock...At least that's how WWE conveyed it. DB has beaten Cena and overcome all of Evolution on the same night at WrestleMania....I think he could beat Brock clean..it would just take a lot.I don't know man. I mean, don't get me wrong. Bryan is over as over can be, but it's just not believable IMO. Now if Lesnar gets distracted or something sure, but if it's straight one on one and it's clean -:
It would take alot of dodging Lesnar on Bryan's part. We've seen what Lesnar can do to someone Cena's size with those german suplexes. Now imagine him doing one to Bryan - ouch. Of course Bryan might just do a back flip and land on his feet for the first few, but if Brock hits something like that on Bryan - its over IMO.
Well yeah....but, can't one argue that DB is just as resilient as Cena?....I mean im not saying the German Suplex wouldn't hurt DB badly....I just think it's safe to say that because of DB's heart, whatever you wanna call it, he can endure as much as CEna can. Just because Cena is bigger and stronger than DB...doesn't mean he's tougher.
I suppose thats true. I was just thinking more along the lines of how much easier it will be for Lesnar to toss Bryan around like a rag doll if he gets his hands on him due to his size.

I'm inclined to agree, but with the right booking, you can book almost anyone to defeat anyone. Just stop booking Brock to be as dominant as he was at Summerslam (which they already started to at Night Of Champions) and Bryan could believably defeat The Beast. If Bryan returns and wins the Rumble, he could say that sitting at home for six months has given him a lot of time to study Brock Lesnar and his every move and learn what the best tactics to take him down would be. This is exactly what Bryan's strategy should be against Brock - being the "smarter" wrestler who utilizes his greatest strengths as best as possible (quicker speed and endurance) and also finds just the right weaknesses to exploit in Lesnar (exhausting him, weakening him at the legs, delivering as many heavy blows to the head as possible, etc.)
Also, CM Punk looked skinny as a toothpick when he brawled with Lesnar on Raw, yet they managed to book a convincing 50/50 match between them at Summerslam last year. And Bryan has arguably received even stronger booking than Punk did. Within the span of one year, he defeated John Cena, Randy Orton multiple times, Batista, HHH, The Shield (all the teams they ran through, and their first loss as a unit was against a team led by Bryan), etc. So is it really that big of a stretch that Bryan could find a strategy to defeat Brock?

Technically, yes. Lesnar repeatedly sold Punk's offense (especially his kicks) and looked as if he was about to tap out to the Anaconda Vice at one point. Heyman even had to get involved and break up a pinfall attempt at one point (if you notice, Brock gets his shoulder up at the exact moment Heyman breaks up the pin, but the fact that Heyman had to get involved at all still shows how convinced he was that Lesnar may have lost had be not stepped in.) I don't know if the match was truly so even that you can say it was 50/50, but you get the point - Punk took Brock to his limit and nearly pulled off a convincing victory over him, and no reason why Bryan couldn't do the same.
I suppose it's not totally ridiculous, but I'd probably have a hard time believing it. I basically said the same thing about Taker going over Lesnar even though I was rooting for Taker all the way.

Good question actually. Right now, with the way Lesnars been booked.............I dunno. I had predicted them trying to put Rusev up against him but that doesn't mean I think Rusev will/should get the win. Hard to say really. I would enjoy Rollins going over him though, not that he is much bigger than Bryan, but he does go for that whole 'smarter wrestler' gimmick as well.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, this scenario seems plausible to me... Bryan wins the championship from Lesnar (supposedly at Mania) and since the 'E likes screwing Bryan so much, they could always cash in on Seth's MITB contract and it'd instantly make him the biggest heel in the business and add a lot of heat.
Bryan's run to the title is epic, but the week after, crickets. They don't know what to do with him when he is on top.
