| #1 Posted on 21.8.02 2153.53 Reposted on: 21.8.09 2154.45 | Let's just say Brock wins the Undisputed Championship on SummerSlam... does this mean we'll be subjected to a Brock/Undertaker program over the belt? There really seems to be a lack of faces poised to take the top spot after Rock takes his leave for "Helldorado."
Who could realistically fill this void? I know they wouldn't go for it and put Edge up at the top slot right now... so we're left with UT and possibly a returning Kane as the only viable faces left able to make a run at a potential champion in Brock. Promote this thread! | | kokolums2

All they gotta do is have one guy or group be an obnoxious heel WINNING MATCHES and beating up the good guys, breaking stuff, and causing trouble while egging on the fans, and then have a face come along to stand in his way, have 'em go at it in several big matches until the face finally goes over. The rest falls to the feet of the wrestlers to get over with good mic work & whatnot.
Is it THAT hard? MUST they job out the heels so quickly? Must the nWo get SQUASHED two nites into the angle? MUST Glasnar get BEAT by the girly Hardys? | SmooveK

Angle, Benoit & Jericho are "broom" workers. They could carry a broom to a good match. So, put Lesnar in a feud with one of the three, just because they can. Besides, why not have a THREE WAY FEUD? | tomvejada

| #6 Posted on 22.8.02 0716.14 Reposted on: 22.8.09 0716.14 | I could see Lesnar being a major 'tweener. If he turns on Heyman and gets rid of him, that makes him not necessarily a face, but not necessarily a heel. And, while I wouldn't mind seeing Angle/Brock, I want it to have enough time (2-3 months). Also, I'm interested to see where the Mysterio/Angle match takes them. I'm kinda' hopin' Mysterio wins (I'm rooting for both, but it's a little more Mysterio's way). I'd like to see Angle and Mysterio feud for another month as well. It only helps Mysterio and we get to see Angle work a style I've never seen him work against. Put Brock against Booker. | IRS

| #7 Posted on 22.8.02 0730.53 Reposted on: 22.8.09 0752.16 | Brock has fought alot of wrestlers. I think the top face should be the one who got the best response in his match against Brock, or someone who has a solid gimmick...
Hogan could take the top face spot, but that would be to easy..., Taker? Booooring... RVD? Naaaah, he doesn't talk that much, so no story there... (Brock has Paul, so that covers the speaking part for him)... Booker T? No..., not yet...
Sorry I can't think of anyone that can seriously compete with Brock, other than Kane... If he does more talkin' that is... That would mean a change in his gimmick and I have a feeling that this is a good possibility. Just before he left he was actually being funny and started talking more. Who knows what could happen, if he goes further in that direction...
But this is just my humble opinion...

Not so much as for 'when will Book get the gold' but because they build their matches extremely well by great promos. Heyman vs Book on the mike sound gold. Book and Brock should be able to do well in the ring as well.
Brock vs Kane..I like Kane but I don't think he should return with a feud against Brock Lesnar. | DVD

| #9 Posted on 22.8.02 0859.13 Reposted on: 22.8.09 0900.07 | Someone elsewhere on the boards suggested an angle where Rock retains only to get *destroyed* by Lesnar post match. After the match, Brock locks in the Brocklock, refusing to let go. Anytime someone tries to get in the ring, he takes them out. Back to the Brocklock. Then he picks Rock up for TWO F5's, and finally he drags him over to the corner and hits the Shooting Star Press. Rock's a stain on the canvas. The next night on Raw(from MSG) it's announced that Rock, due to injuries suffered at the hands of Brock, must forfeit the title. A tournament will be held at Unforgiven to crown a *new* Undisputed Champion. Then have qualifying matches over the next month to determine who will go on to Unforgiven to compete. Think about it. *Everyone* would enter. Benoit, Angle, Edge, BookerT, RVD, 'Taker, Flair, TripleH, Jericho, Hogan, HBK...everybody. Even give Cena a shot. It'd be like Survivor Series '98 all over again, and that's what *really* jumpstarted the Rock's career. | acrid 2.0

Is a Brock/Undertaker feud set in stone? And if so, why does the new WWE champ always seem to have his first defense against UT?? I'm primarily thinking of Austin and Angle, here. | WhoBettahThanDeion

Anyone else know if this is just a one time thing or the beginning of a Shawn Michaels return? Me, personally, I hope there's pinfall's in this match, otherwise all this hype and all the crap we've suffered through doesn't mean a damn thing. Imagine how crappy it would be if the end of the match is HHH or HBK leaving the other laying ont he ground in a pool of their own blood.

1.) I think Brock belongs on the broom list too. He bumps like a champ, just needs more experience.
2.) Since these guys *can* work with brooms, why waste them fighting each other instead of brooms? | oldschoolhero

| #14 Posted on 22.8.02 1509.22 Reposted on: 22.8.09 1516.42 | "I'm primarily thinking of Austin and Angle, here."
Austin's first feud was wiith the Coolest Of Cats Dude Love, not Taker. I don't really see why they need to have a tournament or any other caretaker tool to transfer the title. Brock can murder Rocky at SummerSlam then move on to feuds with Hogan and Undertaker over Unforgiven and No Mercy. Then have him feud with Kane at Survivor Series and beat the crap outta him, too. Finally you can switch it up and have van Dam, Kane and Brock go at it in December, culminating in van Dam pinning KANE not Brock in a three way for the gold. Brocky can go on a rampage throughout January and breeze through the Rumble, whilst Angle moves into a feud with van Dam and lifts the title from him in later January. Then the buildup to Mania can begin. Nash is due back in February, right? Have him return to challenge Brock at No Way Out for the Mania title shot. Then have Brock MURDER him. Finally, it can finish at Mania, when Angle finally defeats the unstoppable monster with three Angle Slams. They could even end on a mutual respect handshake, for that classy touch.
There's no need for anything to protect Brock at this point-they need to go at it full force or the unstoppable heel thing will just fall flat. And with a basic plan like that it would work fine.

| #15 Posted on 22.8.02 2106.11 Reposted on: 22.8.09 2107.14 | How come everybody insists that Brock hold the title till Wrestlemania? You have to know that hes not ready for that. The guy hasnt even got past his first main event PPV and we already have him pegged to main event the biggest show of the year. Dont get me wrong I think the guy is going to be a big star but hes not ready to main event wrestlemania a year after his debut. Even Angle, as gifted as he is, isnt over enough for that. We have no idea if Brock wins will he even be able to hold his heat. Angle couldnt in both his title runs. So please everybody stop trying to predict Wrestlemania. Didnt last year teach us anything? This time last year did we think the WM main event would be Rock-Hogan? or Scott Hall- Austin? OR HHH- Jericho for the WWE title? The next Wrestlemania could be Goldberg- Austin for all we can tell right now.
As for post SS fueds, if Brock wins Booker is his best challenger in my opinion. If they wanna throw Angle in thats fine with me also. Taker and Hogan are definite No-nos. If the WWE is going with new blood at the top then Its Bookers turn. | BigDaddyLoco

If Brock wins, have him take on all comers and have him go over clean, and depending on the crowd reactions he gets, have someone (heel or face, depending) step in as a viable threat. | oldschoolhero

| #18 Posted on 23.8.02 0346.02 Reposted on: 23.8.09 0356.13 | The fed always has one eye on a certain match for Mania. Last year was a big mess of crap due to the Invasion angle and a huge influx of new talent, but you could easily predict that Triple H would be involved somehow. The year before Rock/Austin was set in stone for months beforehand, and the year before that Triple H/Rock was poised to make the main event in some form pretty much the entire year beforehand. Couple that with the rumours that the fed wants to get as strongly behind Angle as possible and that they've already teased friction with Angle and Lesnar and you have a sign that they want to build a longstanding feud between the two. Besides, Jericho was nowhere near ready for the main event this year, and nobody cried about that. As far as I'm concerned, if Brock holds the title from now until 'Mania and looks strong the whole while, then he will be totally ready for the "Biggest Show Of The Year". | whatever

| #19 Posted on 23.8.02 0722.41 Reposted on: 23.8.09 0729.02 | Well, overall I will be curious to see where the storylines go. Last night on SD, I was watching the Cena/Rikishi vs. D-Von/Batista and thinking how well the newcomers were being handled. I started getting excited, seeing the potential these guys posess, and the potential feuds they have available. Really, this is a great time of talented wrestlers - Benoit, Edge (he *is* ready for the main event - it became very obvious to me watching SD), Eddy, Booker, Jericho, Angle, Brock, Rock, RVD, Rey-rey, Batista, Cena, Christian, Storm, all the cruisers, and others I am probably forgetting. That's a *lot* of talent right there, that can really help cover for lumbering folks like Bradshaw, Billy, and Rikishi (to name a few). The older talent (Flair, UT, Hogan) has been working their behinds off to get the new talent over, and I would definitely have to say it's working. Just fantastic. It looks as if there is a groundwork being laid for the future, and the potential upside appears impressive. | Tribal Prophet
