If you want tickets sold and a big time feeling with lots and lots of media attention then Rock vs Lesnar is what you want. If you want to keep the Iwc happy then reigns is the choice

They would really really have to do something special with Roman Reigns to get him to that level (which they haven't done yet).
I'm interested to see what the future holds.

As someone who will be buy a ticket to WM 31, Rock all day long .
I also highly doubt they would give Bryan a shot at Lesnar considering with his neck he could be done in an instant and then Brock's buildup would be wasted

Im fine with either but if its Brock vs Rock then Brock needs to go over. Rock doesnt need to come back just to get another pointless title reign where he might or might not be able to show up on RAW. While Brock himself is a part timer, he doesnt have other things going on and can at least make time for WWE if needed.

the david vs goliath build behind brock/bryan would be great. rock could face off against roman, and pass the torch to his cousin to establish him. but of course, i could see them going for the big money of rock vs brock. then have brock win, and roman vs brock at summerslam, reigns vs rock at the mania after that.
who knows.

You know, if you guys would stop looking at it from a business perspective such as "The Rock and Lesnar is money" and look at it like a fan saying, "Hey, I'd love it if (myfavoritewrestler) got the match" you'd enjoy it a lot more.
I'm so sick of this "the IWC will bitch no matter what" mentality.
It's as stupid as saying "if you don't like it, don't watch"
I don't want to keep going on but I am absolutely tired of reading it.

No, they wouldn't because they'd still be complaining that their guy didn't get the match. It's like if your family had no money and hoping come Christmas morning that your parents are going to buy you a PS4 with every game that's out and then you're sad when you get jack sh-t. I'm so sick of this "the IWC will bitch no matter what" mentality. But they WILL. It's as stupid as saying "if you don't like it, don't watch" Well...that makes sense. If you don't like something, why subject yourself to it? What I don't get are the people who don't adhere to that. I don't want to keep going on but I am absolutely tired of reading it. It's the IWC, bud. Ain't nothin' changed since I first discovered this board in '01.

That's definitely not true. The people that forget wrestling is a business and convince themselves their favourite wrestler should be in all the WrestleMania main events (often the obsessive Punk and Ziggler fans) get really, really upset when that doesn't happen, and they don't enjoy anything and complain all the time.

They have time to re-build Roman as the guy to beat Lesnar, but really Lesnar has been turned into such a monster it wouldn't make sense unless you play the underdog storyline again. Austin or Guerrero would be the better choices but since that cannot happen then Rock would be the next logical choice. The best booking would be Rock coming in to Lesnar's Rumble opponent and seeing the Rock be destroyed and his heritage mock being the catalyst for Roman to rise to Lesnar's level for Mania.

This should easily be The Rock vs Brock Lesnar. They can't leave that kind of money on the table. Totally agree it's all about the ppv buys and Rock vs Brock Would do massive numbers and I would love to see it!

Reigns isn't anywhere close to ready to headline a Wrestlemania. It needs to be a marquee name, and that is not Roman Reigns. I'm not all about the Rock winning it again, since he's more part time than Brock. It needs to be someone like Cena (which by then will have been done to death), Triple H himself, the Rock (for buyrate and publicity reasons, two crossover stars headlining Wrestlemania), or The Undertaker if he has it in him. If Bryan is still hot next Wrestlemania I would choose him, as thats the only one that hasn't been done. A Three Way with Reigns might be ok, but Reigns vs Lesnar is not a marquee match. I really don't have any interest in seeing Reigns in that position at all. I have the Network, but if it weren't for that I wouldn't buy a Wrestlemania with Roman Reigns as a headliner, not at this point anyway.

Roman is going to look so small next to Brock.

Roman is going to look so small next to Brock. Considering he looked pretty small next to Orton last night i can't even imagine. I don't understand how he's considered a big guy at all. He looks like he supposed to be as big as like Lesnar but he's just not, it's odd

I'm with you. To be honest, I don't start thinking about possible WM matches until after the Rumble. In this day in age, the WWE changes their minds so rapidly, things become even foggier. I told my brother this last night, before you know it, the Royal Rumble is next week. Think of it as this, the NFL season is almost underway. After week five, the Super Bowl would be two weeks after. We should be worrying about what's going on from now to November. Not WrestleMania. I'm sure this is probably really unpopular around these parts now, but my #1 choice would be CM Punk. I am starting to fear that Daniel Bryan might be done for good (if not, I'd love to see him beat Brock, but I don't see the company seriously investing in him again). Punk makes a ton of sense from a storytelling perspective... he could be a surprise entrant in the 2015 Royal Rumble (almost exactly 12 months after his last WWE appearance) and he comes back to take down The Authority's golden goose. I'd love it. Sounds interesting but what is the upside for the long-term?I would book a match like that only if I had assurances from Punk that he had recharged his batteries and was back in for the long haul. At least a 1 or 2 year deal.
