Lesnar is a "monster" heel. The best way for him to stay fresh and build these angles was to have him lose. He can legitimately go on a tear through the WWE. If he had won all they would have got was a predictable Lesnar return win. What every fan wants is the unexpected. And they got it. Now, I do feel Lesnar should no lose here on out. If they do, then it could be rough. But he is only doing 34 or so more shows the next year till Mania. AND if Cena is takin time after Over The Limit it only makes sense to havin him win at Extreme Rules and go away. When he comes back he faces Lesnar, at the PEAK of his heel run, and then lose.
I do get what your saying. But think on the terms of how it would look if he came back and did win. Lesnar would have fluff on the entire locker room. Most wrestlers voiced there opinion and distaste for Rock returning like he did. Winning, working few shows, and getting tons of money. RAW did a 4.8. So it obviously didnt hurt him losing that bad.
Yes, and in his return he should tear apart anything and anyone before him, otherwise you make the guy not a monster, but a human, someone with weaknesses and flaws. He should go on an undefeated rampage right up until Wrestlemania next year, which is the logical and most desired point to see him beaten. In qualifying that, I'd only have him wrestle sporadically, and only on PPV's. Maybe 4-5 matches in the year. The rest of the time he does storyline segments and run-in ambushes. How the rest of the lockerroom feels is irrelevant, as it is a business and the ultimate goal of any business is to make as much money as they can. The talent should understand that by letting this guy go mental the WWE will make more money, and in turn their paychecks increase in size. RAW doing a 4.8 for one show is good, but I doubt it'll continue as a trend. I think people tuned in to see the fallout. Cena not having and broken bones or tears only brings Lesnar further down, and now we'll see a feud with Triple H. For those of you who followed the summer of Punk, you'll know a "Feud with Triple H" will just stop your momentum dead, because the heir apparent don't get beat or put no-one over.
On a personal note, it was refreshing to see some fair dinkum blood on Cena, and the match felt exciting for the first time in god knows how long. Then they let him banana peel the win and sit up and talk like he wasn't that badly beaten. The guy should have been stretchered out and had Brock stand in the middle of the ring with his arms in the air and a smirk on his face as the show fades to black. Because they chose to do what they did, Lesnar isn't something special, he's just another guy. WWE Fail.
