Do we? It feels like his return run has ran its course. Yes, people have been wanting to see Lesnar vs. Orton for a while, but what else is there for him to do or prove?
Reigns is retreating into the midcard and I don't see another match between them anytime soon; everyone and I mean EVERYONE believed Summerslam would be the passing of the torch and big payoff to give Roman Reigns the ultimate rub that stemmed from Lesnar breaking the streak.
Other than an obligatory WrestleMania match, who else is there for him to work with other than perhaps an unlikely match against the Rock? What's next for Lesnar after Summerslam? Will he be working with the midcard like Rusev, Sheamus, and Cesaro? But then what will those matches look like - every Lesnar match for the past 3 years?

Yeah I'm kind of over him. He just shows up stands there while Heyman talks and just attacks randomly until the PPV. Rinse and repeat

He's sucks. It's the same thing everytime with him and Paul Heyman when he returns. I'm ready for Brock to just be done with tv all together. He doesn't care about professional wrestling. All he cares about is making that money. Give his spot to someone else who actually wants to be there. I know Neville isn't a draw like Lesnar, but I would have rather seen a five minute Neville squash match.

Nope, he can  off. It was fun the first two years, now it's just repetitive and ing boring. Everytime he "returns" Paul Heyman cuts the same old boring promo about Suplex City. Really hope this is his last match because I can 100% live without Brock & Heyman being on WWE television. |

Keep Heyman for something. Dump Lesnar. He's no longer worth what they're paying him and they could sign a dozen young, hungry guys and girls who actually give a crap about the wrestling business for the truck loads of money they seem so eager to dump at Lesnar's door.

I'm a fan. He's one of the only active guys that I'd pay to see.

Even Paul Heyman bores me now.
Its the same damn speech every time that Heyman comes out with Lesnar.
The appeal for both of them is long over with.

To be fair, "passing the torch" to a babyface Roman Reigns wouldn't have worked. Nothing involving babyface Roman Reigns in the main event is going to work at this point, at least not for a long time. That ship has long sailed. So, in that respect, I don't think we're missing much of anything. If they're going to spend all of the credibility they've put behind Brock, it shouldn't be there.
In any case, I like Brock, but he's grown complacent. Part of that is him, part of that is the booking. In totality, the novelty has worn off. You could hear it tonight. Even coming off of the huge UFC publicity, and the ongoing media coverage, he got the "this guy is a star" initial pop when his music hits, and then a Suplex City chant. They weren't freaking out or overly excited to see him. The fact that Randy Orton received a significantly stronger reaction than him is pretty telling of his status with the fans.
Once the media crapstorm blows over, I think interest is going to dip even further.

I'm pretty over him at this point. It's like, I like Orton so I want him to win, and yet I feel like the rub of beating Brock should go to somebody else.

As far as current roster guys go, I would like to see him work with Sheamus, Cesaro, and even Dolph.

I stopped caring years ago. He was so refreshing and exciting when he came back. Things are different now.

The only major thing that bothers me about Brock Lesnar is how dragged out his 'suplex city' gimmick has been and how stale his matches are. It was fun at WrestleMania 31 & SummerSlam 2014 but since then (and maybe throughout his 2nd WWE run) all his matches are the same and just consist of suplexes which bores the hell out of me only because of the repetition. I understand that when he came back he was meant to be some badass former UFC champion and his wrestling style had to change to fit that but for gods sake the guys a former NCAA champion and barely even does any actual wrestling. I really wish he'd put on matches like his 2002-2004 run as opposed to this 2nd one because they were entertaining as hell!

After this match with Orton, I don't see what there is left for him to do. If Orton doesn't win at SS, which he probably won't, then who next is to face him? The Rock? They wouldn't want to have Rock lose and it isn't worth it for anyone to have the Rock be the guy that beats Brock either.
They should have saved this match with Orton for Wrestlemania 33 and let Brock go after that.

They should have saved this match with Orton for Wrestlemania 33 and let Brock go after that. I think they still want another Lesnar/Reigns match, though that may be changing. They still don't know what they have in Roman long term, but I just don't see how you get people into that match again unless Roman is a bad guy. As some point, they're gonna spend the currency they built on Brock. I assume it was supposed to be Roman but now, who knows. Maybe Finn really catches fire and that makes sense. Maybe someone else. There's still things for Brock to do, they just need to do a better job getting their full time guys at a level where it makes sense to put them in a match with him. It's a shame how many cool match ups for Brock they've potentially squandered away due to poor booking. Owens, Cesaro, And Sheamus to name a few. |

It's a shame how many cool match ups for Brock they've potentially squandered away due to poor booking. Owens, Cesaro, And Sheamus to name a few. It's a tricky situation for sure. I don't think anyone is ever going to be near his level so that's kind of a problem in itself. Thst reminded me, I would love to see Owens vs Lesnar. But for that to happen KO needs to move considerably higher up the card and be top two on RAW at least for it to make sense. Yeah there's a few guys that he could have matches against, just not yet. Maybe they need Orton to end this win streak so he can be brought down a peg and not be seen as totally invincible and can be looked at as a wwe superstar rather than the unbeatable legitimate mercenary that can't be beaten. I honestly dont know. |

NEVER cared for Brock. Great athlete. Fantastic amateur wrestler. Destructive force in UFC (now we know why lol). I will say, I didnt give 2 craps about Orton/Lesnar at SS....I would say....I dont give 1 crap about it now. I think thats right. The RKO tonight and Orton's interest....you peaked my interest. Lets see where it goes. I think its gonna be hard to maintain interest till SS if Brock isnt on some capacity each week.
