In my estimation, Brock Lesnar has received the strongest booking in the history of the business since he first stepped foot inside the ring.

It's always good to create star power on the roster, but considering that Lesnar only works part-time, he isn't having any noticeable impact on the ratings.

To make things worse, he has been booked so strong, that it's not believable for any wrestler on the roster to beat him.

According to me, except Reigns and The Rock, there is no one else who has a shot of even getting close to defeating Lesnar and make it look realistic.

This puts WWE in a bad situation since the potential match ups against Orton, Wyatt, Sheamus etc. cannot take place now. Infact Lesnar has been booked so strongly that even a semi-squash match against an upper mid carder looks unrealistic.

Your opinions?

I totally agree with this, you can't put so much value on a part timer. M not against Brock, but he doesn't deserve the kind of booking and push he has been getting from day 1, it would have been better if someone from the regular roster would have got such a treatment.

 

[EBuzzMiller]

I'd say it would be bad if he was appearing week in and week out and just destroying everyone like how WCW booked Goldberg.
I think the larger problem is if they did put the belt on him again then as you say, how do they book an unstoppable guy to have decent matches with people they continually show to be below his level.

 

[LiterallyNothing]

The two strongest booking wise are Taker and Brock. Guys who arent on the show 50% of the time..yeah

Umm, Taker not so much anymore ..

Brock Lesnar has made Taker his bitch and taken him to suplex city so many times in the recent past, that Wyatt can be booked as a legit threat to Taker.

Infact, Wyatt with the help of Strowman, should defeat Taker and Kane at SS. Then, Taker can lose to Cena at WM and retire, setting up for a future slow burn heel turn for Cena.

 

[Piers]

I don't mind the booking precisely because he is a part-timer.

How many times can we see Brock Lesnar against Cena OR Reigns, and squashing Big Show ?

 

[validreasoning]

Being on the show every week shouldn't be an issue..rousey, mcgregor and mayweather don't fight every week, rock doesn't wrestle every week but those people make a difference when they show up. Someone mentioned Goldberg but he was doing insane numbers every time he appeared in 1998 during the streak.

Lesnar got a superpush between mania 18 and survivor series 02 without it having an effect on business..in fact business fell a lot during that period (not his fault but still). He has gotten another megapush since mania 30 without any indication its truly working at the level of the push. Lesnar shows don't exactly draw far and above non Lesnar shows..in fact sometimes the non Lesnar shows have done better

There shouldn't be an issue where WWE are booking someone strong but too strong to the point that fans think maineventers shouldn't even get a match with Lesnar is bad. I think wwe should scale back a little on the superhuman booking...what was wrong with how he was booked in summer 2013 when he had that classic with cm punk.

I will say that the unbeatable Lesnar is a cool character but its the hardcores like me and people on this site/across the web that are interested and it hasn't created new fans..which is probably the main aim

The unbeatable Lesnar gimmick should and will end at Wrestlemania.

Lesnar was taken to the limit in their last two matches and had to hit a low blow to avoid being beaten in the Cell. Nobody else has made post-streak Brock look even half as vulnerable, not even Reigns. How can the man who just came within inches of conquering Brock Lesnar be feasibly defeated by that fat emo fuck who's never won a match?

 

[260825]

Brock we want you to have a 15 minute match @ xPPV; just go in there throw some punches n throw em about, before the finish; you know 'Suplex city', or whatever them gullible idiots in the crowd chant.

Sounds better than,

Brock we gotta go over your 1 hour Iron man match with Bryan Danielson at some point, please return my calls.

 

[Kostic]

The entire reason Lesnar is booked so strong, the entire reason he beat the Streak, is so that he could lose to Reigns. How do people not see this?

LOL.

Strowman is the trump card here.

Kane is a jobber who could be taken out by Strowman and later they can gang up on Taker.

This is believable booking.

Harper / Rowan can interfere as well.

We do.

But that plan had flopped miserably.

That plan might work this time, but it resulted in 1 year of under use of Lesnar between 2 Wrestlemanias.

 

[Winter's cooling]

Lesnar is obviously working out great for WWE, since they keep increasing his dates and his pay.

This puts WWE in a bad situation since the potential match ups against Orton, Wyatt, Sheamus etc. cannot take place now. Infact Lesnar has been booked so strongly that even a semi-squash match against an upper mid carder looks unrealistic.

They can't take place anyway.For the same reason you won't see Rock face Orton or Sheamus or Wyatt.No, it's not because Dwayne has even less dates than Lesnar or because Brock is booked like a GOD.That's a great misconception.

The reason is simple, those aren't big enough matches worth the limited dates and nothing is to be gained from it all.Even without his booking, Brock is much higher on the pedestal than guys like Sheamus and WWE will never have him lose to them.

 

[RusevWHC]

Lesnar is booked like super human, because he is.

 

[anirioc]

Brock is the biggest most expensive attraction in WWE.
so his booking makes a lot of sense to me. do you really wanna see a guy with limited dates losing every time? like someone said Broke is like Mayweather.
every person in the world wanna see Mayweather and nobody wanna see a loser.

 

[TKOW]

The problem is not Brock being booked to be superhuman. The problem is nobody else is being booked properly, whilst he's not there, to be considered a legitimate threat when he is active.

Cesaro is the prime example. This guy won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal by lifting The Big Show off of his feet, carrying him across the ring and tossing him over the top rope. JBL coined the moniker, "The Swiss Superman." He had all the momentum in the world for a babyface run. All this, mind you, being on the same night that "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker's undefeated streak.

From that night, a smart booker would've seen the long-term storyline of Cesaro vs. Lesnar in front of their very eyes. They'd have had Cesaro go on a massive winning streak, perhaps picking up the Intercontinental Championship and slowly working his way up the card. Meanwhile, Lesnar could've won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, and defended it successfully at Wrestlemania 31 against Daniel Bryan (which would've given the fans what they wanted, protected another future babyface in Roman Reigns, continued Lesnar's reign of terror and prevented WWE from having to vacate the Intercontinental Title after Wrestlemania 31.) You could've continued to build toward the collision of these two unstoppable forces, culminating in Cesaro winning the 2016 Royal Rumble and defeating Brock for the championship at Wrestlemania 32.

Instead, they kept Cesaro a heel, put Paul Heyman as his manager to talk about Brock Lesnar every week, called him "The King of Swing" (a moniker that belongs in the 1940's), and gave him THE WORST ENTRANCE THEME IN THE HISTORY OF WRESTLING.

[I am the Storm]

The best should always receive dominant booking.

I hate today's methodology of booking; it has to be a near 50-50 split. Bullshit. Stars should be winning virtually every time. That's what makes them better, and that's why beating them makes you important; a "big win".

Currently only three victories on the roster would mean anything - John Cena, Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. Cena and Taker have lost enough lately that it's not quite so special right now, but Brock remains "the big win", and that needs to be protected. When somebody presents themselves as worthy and the timing is right, Brock should take a pin. If that's not for a long time than so be it.

You've got to protect him and the other stars. It's how beating them makes people famous.

 

[OwenSES]

It would be even worse for business if Lesnar was booked weaker.
