I don't think they would bother have Lesnar return the way described here. They will have him work his way back up. They are petty like that and actually in this scenario I don't blame them. It works better with a face anyways. Maybe they will do this angle with The Rock if he ever comes back full time.

Vince never buried ECW workers for no reason. Many of them, simply, were not terribly good workers. He pushed Rhyno until Rhyno injured his neck and went to crap afterwards. Tajiri is a solid mid-carder. Raven was an uninspired worker. Tazz was short and crap in the ring. RVD has been uninspired almost from the get-go.

 

I quite enjoyed Tazz when he was in the ring; wasn't it his preference to switch to the announcing position as well?

Here's an idea I had for a storyline...if Vince were willing.

 

Maybe Vince, feeling that Raw and Smackdown need some shake-up, comes out and says he hired someone to play a special free-agent...working for Vince only and not either Raw or Smackdown.

 

Then, he reveals Brock Lesnar is that person...and Brock is allowed to go to both Raw and Smackdown to fight whoever he wants.

 

...don't know how it'd end up, just a thought.

Thanks...

 

...wait, are you saying "Brilliant" in a positive manner or a mocking manner?

Wouldn't require Lesnar to travel even more?

 

If so, I don't think it'd be possible since Lesnar doesn't even want to do the regular schedule, let alone extra.

Positive. I think that's an ingenius idea, too creative for the 'E's writers I'm sure....

It's a terrible idea. He just left the company a year ago because he couldn't handle the travel schedule, so you're going to reward him with a special gimmick that almost anyone else would be happy to play, but which he will hate because he has to travel twice as much. Then, after building him up with the fans as someone more important than anyone on either show, he'll probably leave again, and this time you'll piss off not one brand, but two.

 

If they bring him back, they need to do a little something to make him pay his dues. The way I'd do it is bring him in as a cocky heel and have the Undertaker challenge him for his first match back. He can talk about all the times he's beaten Taker etc., and then when the match comes, he should lose clean.

 

This will make him flip out, and send him on a psychotic heel run, before eventually "training" like in the videos before SS 2002 to get back to his previous shape. Then, after he's refocused himself on wrestling in storyline terms, he can beat Taker in a rematch, and then challenge for the title.

I say they use him as a guy who may appear on one brand one week and another the next, but isn't popping from brand to brand on the same week.

 

You could get crowd support for a guy that basically has to jump over the wall to fight his opponents, has to depend on the crowd to count his own pinfalls, can't win any titles, and just wants to beat people up. It is just a new rebel babyface angle but it's a rebel babyface angle that's far more spontaneous than the last ones.

 

They could finally integrate him into the real roster by having him get a "win" over one of the brands' champions, but finds out he's not winning the title because it wasn't a legit contest. Then have him confront a GM and demand a non-sanctioned anything goes match against a worker at the next PPV for a contract (ideally, the opponent will be someone who can go instead of dead weight) and that will fully integrate him into the roster.

 

Yes, it's a lot of work, but if they just had Lesnar magically appear one night it would be at least three months of boos and "you sold out."

I must argue the "RVD has been uninspired from the get go" point. In 2001-2002 RVD was perhaps the most consistent and exciting wrestler on the roster (and one of the most over). Once he jobbed a couple times to HHH though and was depushed his career stalled and he stopped giving a crap.

 

As far as Lesnar goes, I wouldn't sign him again. What's the point? If you proceed to push him hard the wrestlers and some fans get pissed about it, but if you bring him in and job him out there really isn't any point.
