So Brock Lesnar wins his match against HHH (we all knew it would happen), and then he announces he is leaving the WWE?

I think we all know better than that. The last thing Vince McMahon would do is open the door for someone to humiliate his son-in-law and not make any more money for the McMahon family.

What do you guys think is next for Brock?

I suppose they do have the money to pay Mark Callaway for one more Wrestlemania. They would have to pay him a LOT to ruin that 20-0 streak, and they would need a lot of viewers to profit from it. Let's face it, when you have a current superstar against a retired legend, the current superstar wins every time. It's simple economics because the retired legend isn't going to give you many more performances. I'd actually rather see Lesnar against a current champion.

Barrock is almost as current as Duane Johnson.

Undertaker understands the business and Understands you have to lose eventually.

If the Streak is going to end at mania this year. It would be to somebody like Wade Barrett. A guy thats young and established as a draw, but needs that extra kick to carry the company for a while.

[jamesblakefan#1]

If it's going to be used to put someone over and give them a bump, then I'm ok with the streak ending. If it's going to be used on someone already established like Cena or a part timer like Lesnar then hell no, Taker shouldn't have to job for them.

Personally I'd be ok if Taker retired unbeaten, that's really all he has as far as accomplishments since he doesn't have that many title reigns and the guy has done so much for the business for so many years that they should at least let him have the streak if he wants it. But Taker's the kind of guy that would job if he felt it would put someone over. Don't see him jobbing to Lesnar all things considered.

There were some odd moments, tension at the UFC PPV between UT and Lesnar.

Lesnar seems pretty current to me. It's only been about a year since he fought UFC title matches. I think Lesnar is taking over the Brett Hart WCW role. He only wrestles on a few occassions, still makes tons of money, and saves wear and tear on his body (possibly so he can do UFC fights in the future?). I sure hope Undertaker doesn't job for him. I'd like to see him retire with more dignity than that.

Lesnar doesn't love the business IMO. He's only doing this bc the UFC thing went belly up after his health troubles. Not that I'm complaining, but he's still pretty damn old relatively speaking (35) and not going to be around often enough to really build on it if he did go over Taker.

The Brett Hart WCW role basically means not being used at all then eating a stiff kick to the face that ends his career pretty much?

Lesnars a part timer doing it for the money. The WWE basically laid down and told Brock when he was young. "You are the man and the future of the company, you will make millions of dollars and be a legend". He didnt like traveling and up and quit to try to play football. When football didnt work out he wrestled in Japan while hs wife was suing WWE.

Thats where the beef with Taker comes in. Taker is a huge company man and feels the whole locker room was willing to take a back seat and hand Brock the reighns and he turned there backs on them.

And then wrescking you mountain bike and having a stroke. Damn you Goldberg.

Actually Bring back Goldberg and let him job to Ryback. Goldberg had a problem with losing to Jericho becuase he felt Jericho wa small and it wasnt life like for him to lose to a guy under 6ft. Apparently Jericho heard that and went and beat the crap out of Goldberg, but they still didnt let Jericho win. Ryback is as big if not beggir than Goldberg ever was.

If that's the case, it's hard to see the Undertaker jobbing for Lesnar. I wouldn't like to see that anyway.

Ryback needs to do something different. Right now, he just looks like a copy of Goldberg.

OMG, now you reminded me of that good-for-nothing ho, Sable. She owes everything she has to the WWE. She was nothing, then the WWF promotes the heck out of her, and she throws Marc Mero under the bus. I can't believe I was drooling like everyone else when she came out in that body paint!

I really can't cheer for a guy who would marry someone like that. I hope Brock never wins another match!

Taker wont job to Lesnar. Lesnar doesnt need Taker to job for him to get what he wants. If he wanted to go full time at it again he would could just get right abck into it. He is already established and wouldnt benefit from the push like ending the streak would give him.

They are slowly letting Ryback get into the Mic skills more and more. When he was Skip he wasnt terrible on the Mic so there is some potential. Goldberg showed no potential. His winnig streak was all he had. Brock has no mic Skills so they give him a manager. Goldberg was apparently so hard to work with and so stubborn he would didnt want a manager stealing his spotlight.

Ryback doesnt need a manager. I think he can handle himslef on the Mic well enough. Its hard to get into Ryback though, becuase you can sorta tell Skip wants to do more than yell

"Finsih It"
and
"Feed me more"

And yes Sable was a Ho. I always like Marlena/Teri Runnels better.

Between Sable and Teri, I can't decide which one is more of a ho. Teri was about as much of a ho, but since she wasn't as good looking as Sable, she never had as much attention.

Dustin Runnels had to be the black sheep of the family. His dad wasn't too amused with that Gold Dust character, and he had some things to say about that gold-digger, Teri, as well.

Cody seems to be making some headway. Seems like he just needs one break to push him to the top tier.
