LOTS OF BROCK LESNAR AND JOHN CENA NOTES

Why would WWE, after protecting Cena to the degree they do, and after being booed out of Miami for two nights in a row, have him of all people be the one to be the victim of Brock Lesnar's debut? It would make sense if they wanted to turn him heel, but it seems like the only thing that would make sense at this point is to have him do an angle where he quits because the boos are getting to him, or have him have a breakdown and lash out at the fans.

Or they could be doing it to try and make him sympathetic to the fans, to show that he is not going to win and dominate all of the time.  Since those are the reasons that many fans hate him, you can't blame them for trying.

Can you provide a list of Brock Lesnar's matches from his first stay in The WWF?  How about Ric Flair coming into WWE to manage Lesnar?

WWE released a bunch of Lesnar videos on their site (and we listed them here after you sent the question, you can find them archived in the latest newsletter).  As for Flair, no.  Lesnar doesn't need a manager.  He is bigger than that.  He doesn't need Flair.  In fact, Flair could even detract from him.

So with Lesnar returning, what if WWE used him as a way to "reboot" John Cena? In a nutshell, their first match Lesnar destroys Cena in a such a brutal way it makes the kids cry, shatters his "Superman" image and even silences his detractors (think of HHH/Taker's ring psychology from Mania) and Cena is taken off the air for awhile. He returns much later as a more serious ass kicker who's fully driven by revenge, but still a vulnerable underdog to Lesnar for the inevitable rematch (sort of the character we all want to see out of him). I doubt WWE would do it, but do you think it's a worthy risk for them to take, business wise? And more importantly, do you think the majority of the fanbase would finally get behind Cena?

Following up the question above, I think that would be a good idea.  He has been around so long absence would make the heart grow fonder.  Plus, he is in need of a reboot.  I like it.

With Lesnar's past medical issues are there any moves his future opponents won't be allowed to perform on him?

Not that I can think of.  If he was able to step into a cage where guys were targeting his weak spots he will definitely be able to work matches.

My question is, with Brock making his return this past Monday and his upcoming year, if everything goes right, what are the chances that wwe produce a lesnar DVD/Blu ray collection?

Absolutely.  They can always release a set, even if there isn't all that much content.  In Brock's case, if he makes it through the year and works with Cena and The Rock they will have plenty of content to use.
