Guest Fishyswa Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Fucking awesome. This isn't even news, this is more like the start of an angle. Put him on Raw so him and Big Show can pump out a few more epic matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Well that's stupid, sort of, now there won't be the possibly great Lesnar running in out of nowhere and F5ing the shit out of someone eventually. We could still get that, but now, more have been forwarned you can say. Fucking awesome. This isn't even news, this is more like the start of an angle. Put him on Raw so him and Big Show can pump out a few more epic matches. It's Smackdown that needs the really big talent though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Yeah, but the arena is full of marks, so he'll still get a monsterous pop. The majority of fans don't read the internet and that includes WWE.com. Besides, all it says is that they're talking. It'll still be a surprise when he does show up on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Bacchus 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Finally. Brock is coming back to save us. Brock = Savior. Seriously though, it'll be great to see him again but will his return improve the product? I haven't watched any WWE programming in the past year (save ECW:ONS) and if they advertise his return I might tune in for that. I'm just holding my breathe on this.

Guest JMA Report post Posted July 6, 2005 This is obviously great news, but he needs to be on Smackdown. Brock being back will almost certainly help out the ratings and there are many guys he can feud with: Batista, Benoit, Booker T, The Undertaker, and Mysterio. But since those are pretty much the only faces he can feud with, he should turn face himself after having a run with each of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 There's more for Brock on Smackdown in terms of what he can do. The only new things for him on RAW are HHH and Michaels. On Smackdown he's got return matches with Benoit and Guerrero and fresh stuff with JBL, Orton and Batista. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 I'm not a huge fan of Brock or anything, but lord knows they definently need him back, no matter what show he's on...I'm so glad I made that No Mercy CAW, you know, just in case! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Another reason why Brock would work better on Smackdown than on Raw: He's already held the WWE Championship 3 times. He has yet to hold the World Heavyweight Championship. Thusly, that becomes his goal and focus...maybe it could even be the on camera reason for his return.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 SummerSlam would be the best possible scenario for this. I've gotta reveals some Smackdown spoilers to tell it properly, though. Batista has just finished going over Hassan and The Insurgents in a grueling battle to keep the World Heavyweight Title in front of his family and hometown friends. Demon Bomb finish, Batista rolls over and collapses, clutching the title. Lights go out, when they come back on Brock Lesnar is standing over Batsita with a mic. "You've got something I want." F5, PPV fades on Brock standing over Dave's limp body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 This is great. Whether he's on Raw or SmackDown, WWE needs him badly. I wasn't even much of a fan until his character went nuts, throwing Gowan down the stairs, stealing Austin's ATV and all that, then when he left I realized how much he really brought to the table. He could even cut a decent crazy promo, I thought. Yeah, I agree, he'd be much more useful on SD and should wind up there, though he'll probably show up on Raw for the first few weeks of his return, at least.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Brock on RAW is not a good thing. With HHH, Michaels, Angle, Hogan and Cena all floating around the top there's nothing there for him to establish himself. I know Hogan won't be around forever but Brock would still have the other four to contend with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eclipse 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Brock Lesnar is definately back, and right now, they need him. He was built as a true champ, and right now, whether it be RAW or Smackdown, they need him. On RAW, I can see him feuding with HHH. On Smackdown, he can feud with Batista. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 I guess that interview he did a few weeks ago did the trick eh? If he doesnt come back, that lawsuit is going to go through the ringers for a ridiculous amount of time, costing Lesnar and WWE way too much $$$ in the long run when its obvious he needs to return sooner or later - to benefit both him and the WWE. His only other option if he would get freed from the old contract would be a combo of Japan dates and TNA (and who knows what their future is) to make the same amount roughly as he was getting in WWE. And thats not even a for sure thing. Part of me would want him already wrestling Batista at SummerSlam, but they probably should be smart and build that to Mania next year. There is plenty of other stuff he could do til then. Its going to be tough to keep them apart til then though. Obviously he needs to go to Smackdown as everyone is saying already too.

notJames 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 I for one am pickled tink at the thought of Lesnar's return. Finally, something good is happening. Maybe this is why all the dead weight was cast off.

We could still get that, but now, more have been forwarned you can say. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But if they hype that he'll be at a PPV, there's a chance more people will actually PAY to see it.

Just John 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 He better go to SD. We need to finish that Benoit/Lesnar feud that got cut off in its prime. A Lesnar/Batista match would a be a nice powerfest. A Lesnar face run would give us good matches with JBL and an interesting twist on his return match with Eddie. Best news I've read in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
