According to meltzer on his radio show from last night, the mentality regarding lesnar is "we're playing a ton of money to this guy who's not a WWE guy so we've got to make sure that he puts over WWE guys because we don't know how long he's going to be here." They told lesnar weeks ago that Cena was going over, but Lesnar's camp thought it was probably just testing him to see how he'd react. Cena was supposed to go out on a stretcher so that Lesnar would look like the winner in the end, which obviously didn't happen. Apparently it's hard to tell what exactly is going on behind the scenes because there's a lot of "weird working" going on. It's a "bizarre situation". In any case, apparently he's just there to put Cena over, and they wanted it to happen right away so everybody would forget about Cena losing to The Rock at mania. No real long term thought process, it's not building toward wrestlemania next year, it's all about getting WWE people over, starting with Cena.
They blow the punk build last summer, they blow the rock build for mania, now they blow this this spring. They keep getting setup after setup for things that could really change the product and keep people interested and ultimately make themselves tons and tons of money, and they just keep screwing up over and over. Back to midgets and fat dancing guys and guys with invisible friends and john cena getting his ass kicked one night and coming out to give a heroic speech about 'leaving for a while" instead of getting stretchered out and then coming out joking the next night like nothing ever happened to lead to a match that literally nobody wants to see with Johnny Ace.
If they didn't have Punk and Danielson on the next PPV, this week would have been it for me.
