People are saying it is "50/50" if Lesnar will return to WWE on Sunday at Mania. They are working on the numbers right now.


Lesnar v. Rock WM29.... YESSSS!!!!! :D

Are these "people" the same type of sources the tabloids use when they say an "unnamed friend" or an "unnamed source" said this or said that?

I believe if Lesnar comes back it will be to work with Taker.


That's a lot more likely. They are pretty good friends and it would be a real nice match up for him next Mania.


I just don't see a Rock vs. Brock match up. I don't see where this appeal for that is coming from. That wouldn't make me excited for Mania.

Their one match, years ago, wasn't even that good and that was when they were in a lot better ring shape and in the flow of their craft.


Why the hell would anyone care about this match up of two part time wrestlers? Are people certain Brock is coming back to be a fulltime wrestler?

If not then you've got two guys who will show up once in a while and you're going to try and build and bill that as a Mania match up?


That's a tough sell.

These aren't the same people who were 100% certain that Punk was leaving the WWE and he was never coming back....are they?

I don't have time to search it out but there is a YouTube video out there of a Taker interview & he said he has personal issues with Lesnar. I don't think he was saying that in character; got the feeling he didn't like him at all. But you guys would know more probably about that.

Not in this case. But we will see come Sunday. But I would take the bet that Lesnar will be returning to WWE its just a matter of when.

The word at today's Wrestlemania media conference was that WWE will repeat last year and announce a major match for Wrestlemania 29 in New Jersey on Raw this Monday. It wasn't specifically said but several people, while being interviewed, strongly hinted at it to different media sources.


Either Rock Brock or Austin Punk will be announced, I believe it'll be Rock Brock as that is much bigger for the mainstream media than Punk, Austin would be.

Have no wish to see Austin wrestle again. He can cut great promos though but even if he got the go-ahead medically to wrestle I wouldn't expect much from him wrestling-wise. But money talks.

I never liked Lesnar even when he was on the roster. I would rather they just stick Michaels in there than Austin.

Batista has been spotted in Miami. My belief is if they don't get the Lesnar deal done Batista will fill the role. Batista-Rock doesn't seem as exciting but still an interesting direction to go.

If the deal with Lesnar can go through it will be post match Batista comes out and lays out John Cena, As the Rock decides to go help, Lesnar will come out and go after the rock, The rock and John will get beat down turn the tables and hit there finishers to send the crowd home happy, setting up the Monday Raw where they will announce that it will be Rock and Cena Vs Batista and Lesnar.

The big match for Mania 29 wouldn't shock me at all if it was Austin vs. Punk.

They've both been tweeting about it and just last week, or earlier this week, Punk said something about facing Austin at 29 and Austin responded that if the stars aligned right he'd be in New York with a whole can of whip *** for Punk.

Something to that effect.

So I wouldn't be shocked, in the least, if that's what winds up happening.

I think Goldberg makes an appearance and smashes on Cody Rhodes, and gets going with him.

I would not put a guy in the biggest match of the year who has the physical issues Austin has. So basically they would have him do nothing for a whole year. Maybe come out & stun Miz or somebody a few times a year without having a hand laid on him of course. At the very least they do know Rock can still wrestle. I get the appeal the guy has but he could never hang with Punk in a match. No way.

Hmmm...interesting but...why? I'm just curious why you'd think that or if you're just throwing something out there.

Because I remember (I think) when he was feuding with Booker and Dusty came into the picture he not only dogged on Booker, Dusty, but Goldberg too.

Bringing in Goldberg would just be a waste. No one would care outside of former wrestling fans. No mainstream attention at all.

Personally I couldn't care less about people's mainstream attention or attractions. I'd rather they stick with the big time names for wrestling with main stream appeal like Rock and Cena.


I don't care about adding Brock cause it might bring in a few UFC fans. There are plenty of big matches by big names in wrestling that would draw more than enough.

Punk vs. Austin would be HUGE.
