WHO SHOULD TOSS BROCK OUT OF THE RUMBLE, ROCKY JOHNSON BOOK, MAVEN, DAVE BROWN & MORE

So, Brock Lesnar's in the Royal Rumble.  The angle has to be someone tosses him, so who should it be?

It depends on what WWE is going for.  If they are looking for a big spectacle match at Wrestlemania, the biggest thing they could do is have Brock come out at #1 and then The Rock comes out at #2 and tosses him.  Lesnar, enraged, attacks the Rock and lays him out with a bunch of F-5s.  Instant Mania main event and they get back to where they wanted to many years ago.  You could do the same angle with Undertaker or Goldberg but Rock vs. Lesnar would bring a big Mania feel to the Tampa show.

If they are trying to make someone and bring them to the next level, my suggestions are Keith Lee or Aleister Black.  Either shocking Lesnar and dumping him out would be a big moment for either to set up a Mania match.

Whatever happened to Maven?

The last I recall, he was living in NYC and working outside pro wrestling.

WWE was planning some women's reality TV for Qubi. Whatever happened with that?

I believe it's still in development.  Stephanie McMahon is attached and they aren't going to rush something with a McMahon out with no thought.

I've been trying to track down The Rocky Johnson autobiography but it appears to be yanked.  Any idea?

I don't know this to be 100% but there's been talk that Johnson had a falling out with co-author Scott Teal over the book.  I don't know particulars but I hope it gets resolved.  It's a good book and deserves to be read and everyone involved should be proud of the effort.  It tells a really good life story for Johnson and what he went through over the course of his career.

Why would AEW put Dave Brown on TV?

To surprise old school fans and give Brown the chance to appear nationally, something he's never had a chance to do.  I loved the hell out it and just wish Lance Russell was with him.  They were one of my favorite all time duos.
