Good day Mr. Keith. All the recent discussion about UT's opponent for this coming up wrestlemania, really either Cena or Lesnar, has me clamoring more for the former for 30, and the latter for 31, and heres why they should book it. A Lesnar/UT match needs more build then starting from what i assume would be no earlier than Royal Rumble, a Cena/UT match needs the simple "well, we haven;t faced eachother yet at wrestlemania" promo. Plus CM Punk needs his rematch to close out the Heyman fued once and for all. So this is how I would book it:
Lesnar wins title at Rumble, from Cena, Punk wins rumble, gets Lesnar at mania.
Cena loses title, and on raw, wines again about how horrible his life is now, challenges for the streak. UT excepts.
Punk beats Lesnar, UT beats Cena
Next night on RAW, Lesnar is PISSED! at the loss, and as UT comes out to say, tease last night was his last match, Lesnar beats the living hell out of him, like a REAL MAN'S beat down, emt's, UT never gets up, the whole shabang.
Lesnar does his few appearances throughout the year, beats some babyface's along the way, as the rumble gets closer little hints of Undertaker symbols throughout, but very low key, and yes, I am kinda getting some Batman/Bane TDKR/Knightfall influence here. The 2 months between Rumble & WM, the nods and symbolism to UT get more frequent, but he never shows up because WM would be his in ring return to challenge Lesnar. It would be an effective way to build off an entire year, the beatdown selling UT couldnt come back till WM. Waddya think?
btw: does all the frequent rumors for wm 30 conclude that Rock is not wrestling?
Pretty sure Rock's schedule and insurance will ensure he doesn't wrestle this year, yes. Why take the chance and jettison a $20 million movie payday anyway?
As for this, yes, I agree Taker-Lesnar is something that would probably need a more epic buildup, and I'd definitely have gone with Cena-UT and Punk-Lesnar this year. But obviously everything is just rumors right now, so I'm not getting terribly worked up yet.
Although this weekend really should be the final Punk-Heyman blowoff. With Ryback apparently in the doghouse this will probably be it for Punk v. Paul for a long while, I hope.
