Eh; LoP is more or less "make stuff up and roll with it". If Meltzer / Keller reported it, that would be one thing.
Bryan was the face of the company at WM 31. He beat HHH, Batista, and Orton in the same night, including taking out both Orton and Batista at the same time. He was the #1A babyface (Cena was 1B, but playing a very low fiddle at the time). Then he got injured. We know that the plan was Bryan was that Bryan would be champion until Lesnar @ Summerslam.
I can see WWE being hesitant to push Bryan immediately back into the spotlight until they know for sure his injury has recovered; but they should have announced his return for the RAW after the RR if they are still hesitant.

NOAH was on Nippon TV, so that could be another set of rights negotiations to work out for that footage. I wouldn't hold my breath.

I think it would be best to find a balance. I've loved this run more than almost anything during the time he's been re-signed.
They've wasted enough of Lesnar's time on Cena. Lesnar against Rollins and Rusev would be fire though.
Basically they never should have had Brock on RAW. Those dates weren't separated between Wrestling and Non Wrestling, so he could have wrestled quite a few more matches if he hadn't been on Raw. Problem is, you also want to make him a special attraction and tell a compelling story, and really the only people on the roster this year he could do that with were Cena and Orton as D-Bry was injured and no one else was ready. Orton was also the number one heel for 3/4 of the year.

Bork always shuts up the critics who bitch about him not being around. Then they bitch about him not being around, then he comes back and puts on another awesome match. The circle of life.

I wouldn't mind, but I am in love with this whole "prizefighter" thing where Lesnar is so much better than everyone else that he is above petty Raw and Smackdown appearances.
I like the new WWE title, and I especially like it around Lesnar. Seeing him come out with it around his waist was special, and $9.99 worthy.

I like the fact that Lesnar only wrestles a few times a year. It makes his events worthwhile.
Besides, every time its like facing the end level boss, who just continues to grow in power each time.
Until he is Reigned down upon.

Didn't they hint at Big E/Brock once forever ago? I still want that.
And Sheamus/Brock, too
Doesn't matter though, I'm still here, I'll captain this fuckin ship

It's so upsetting that WWE wasted Brock on HHH and Cena when they should have been trying to get some newer stars have a lick.
And then they do the opposite and put a new star who doesn't deserve it yet over everyone else. It's so sacrilegious.

Had it in my Steam wishlist for ages. May be time to just go ahead and pull the trigger on it.
that's a pretty nice setup for a swerve, you backstabbing sob
Brock has destroyed enough people as a heel to earn the respect of a face in the eyes of fans.
Problem with a face Brock though is that I worry that the way he's booked would change
I say we take a vote of no confidence for Sunny Mac.
They just lack credible heels. I don't think Rusev has a long term outlook for himself - character will definitely be forced to go through changes once he begins losing. Bray has needed to do so for quite some time.
Also, Sin Cara's Debut popped up on my Recommendations earlier. Notes:
- he almost fucked up his springboard jump into the ring
- Michael Cole's fucking awful annunciation of "Sin Cara"
- while he botched an awful lot, I found him miles more fun to watch than Hunico
p.s. Bryan-Sheamus match beforehand, Bryan's second favorite enemy to Kane.

We can all agree that last night's Cena-Rusev segment was Cena at his absolute worst, right? Watching it now, and goddamn ...

Others seemed to enjoy it but I thought Cena was bad last night. He came off as a heel calling Lana a ho repeatedly.

Babyface means good guy, in case you didn't know.
I liked it.

Ain't too hard. Just have Brock keep....................

He should leave Lana's pubes alone.

There are no credible heels to face though.
Harper, Wyatt, and Rusev should be major heels, but Harper loses way too much, Wyatt lost his mojo after Cena (and can be redeemed by ending Taker's career), and Rusev is well on his way to being cut down by Cena.
Rollins/Lesnar would be awesome, but Rollins is the only real top level heel they have.
I actually really wish Reigns would be a heel. Not to save him from the backlash, but because he looks really fit for it. Too bad he isn't really good in the ring.

It's been a while since I read this novel. I need to set some time later in my busy schedule to read this again.
Tofu is fantastic done well. It just has no flavour of its own really, so that means you just use it as a blank canvas and marinate the shit out of it.

Fantasy booking time
If the plan is to have Roman get the strap and you're going to have Cena get the win over Rusev have Rusev disappear immediately after that loss, keep him gone for 3 months.
Rusev comes back as Barca, the last Carthaginian, come to exact his revenge on the Roman Empire. Give him the belt at Summerslam

That's something what I was thinking as well. Whether it is at 'Mania or the PPV following, he has definitely got to disappear after the loss. His whole shtick with Lana and being this unstoppable monster is completely gone once he eats defeat.
Knowing them, though, he's gone two weeks max.
You just want to talk about Roman Reigns sowing salt, don't you.

I believe SummerSlam is already booked - Reigns vs Cena
Who will have their hand raised at the end of the night and who will do the raising??

Tofu is great when it's treated as tofu. When its treated as a fake meat alternative it is awful.
