Sorry, BUT I don't smell what PCH is cook'n, at least not this time!!!

How about Brock vs. Undertaker at Mania next year. Who better to end Taker's streak than the former Mr "Next Big Thing"? Bring back Heyman to take Undertaker's side and you turn up the heat that much more. Former manager and best friend of Brock's returning to WWE and then turning his back on him to assist Taker would be GOLD I tell ya!

Since I believe that Brock will have one of the heavywight titles by Mania (probably well before), it could be title vs. career. Taker wanting one last run with the title puts his career on the line to get a title shot from Brock. Making this the ultimate passing the torch match.

If WWE wanted to drag this out they could have Taker win and put off the rematch until next Mania (this will probably never, EVER happen). Of course, that would require Taker to stick around more than a month and a half each year so this is very highly unlikely!!!

Taker/Brock would put way more buts in seats than Rock/Brock and cause a ton more PPV buys. Hell, I would even shell out the $65+tax to see Taker/Brock!

GOOD LUCK PCH! You're gonna need it!!!

What has Brock's return ment to WWE so far? Not much! Ratings have stayed the same since Mania. Last week's Raw did a 3.1 the same as the Raw after Mania!!! And, just where is the Rock? He was MIA last week and Cena already said in a Promo that Rock's gone again! So what's the WWE to do?

Can you really count on the Rock and Brock to be around by Mania next year? Brock's deal is up right around Mania time and as for the Rock, who knows for sure if he'll still be around? If both are leaving it would make more sense for them to put over someone on the way out. The same goes for Taker if he's retiring. The WWE could put him in the HOF and have his last match the next day at Mania, ala Ric Flair. Taker loses and rides off into the sunset to join Shawn Michaels and Edge on the couch at home. It wouldn't hurt the Taker at all to lose his last match at Mania after going into the HOF. Plus the taker is known as an old school type of guy and old schools says you put someone over on your way out.

So I'll go with: Brock fighting Cena for the title. Undertaker v. 'Great White' Shamus. And, Rock v. CM Punk.

If Brock and Rock don't sign extensions to their 1-year deals, which run out around Mania 29 next year (7 Apr) then WWE would be crazy to put either of them in the main event let alone make THEM the main event. Also, Rock is so exclusive to WWE that it was annouced today he will Exec Produce and appear in "various incarnations" to encourage contestants in a new reality show called 'The Hero', a competition to find the 'next great hero'.

So if the Rock gets a offer to do something more lucrative or that is higher visability (not hard given Raw's ratings lately), he's gone again in a heartbeat. Brock has a good chance of sticking around longer than a year BUT he's left before and if WWE wants to push him out of THE top spot again, who knows if he'll stick it out this time.

Brock was gone from WWE for 7 years and only there a short time to begin with. Given WWE's recent family friendly stance and lower ratings (bad storylines) a lot of fans who remember Brock are long gone and he didn't bring them back. Plus so far, it looks like his MMA fans didn't follow him to WWE. All this = no ratings spike!!
