Its amazing to think that Rock VS Brock only happened once, at Summerslam '02, and it was a great match. Both men were in their physical primes, and Rock was selling Lesnar's strength by bouncing in and out of the ring.
If you haven't rewatched the match in a while, I wholeheartedly recommend it.
While Reigns has been the heel champ for far far longer than anyone expected, I don't think a specialized 50+ year old part-timer like Rock (if he's even part time) - after only having 3 matches in 20 years - should be the one to dethrone him. Whomever has that privilege should be the new babyface of the company for the next generation, not a relic of the Attitude Era.
That said, if it is Rock/Reigns at Wrestlemania Reigns is probably going to win. Call it a gut feeling but Rock wouldn't selfishly kill the momentum of his own cousin having the longest title run in modern wrestling history.
So... Lesnar knows how to play the heel very well to Rock's babyface, and I think that's the match to make... one more time... 20+ years later, two of the biggest names in the last 30 years of wrestling going at it.
Whats your thoughts?
Good idea?
Good idea but probably not gonna happen?
May happen for Wrestlemania 41, but not for 40?
Bad idea?
Bad idea unless Rock signs a long-term contract? (Which may happen with the bankroll this TKO merger may have?)
