The build to this match could be a little tricky, but it’s far from impossible to book. Last time we saw Lesnar, he was a heel beating up Dean Ambrose on a weekly basis before, and at, WrestleMania. However, Brock is such a popular figure, that he could go into a fight as a face, and the crowd would likely accept it.

Samoa Joe is the NXT Champion right now, and doing some great work. There’s probably very few people in the entire company that could have as exciting of a match with Lesnar than he could. It would also be a dream match for a lot of fans, as the two have never come even close to locking up.

With the brand split coming up, Joe could be called to the main roster, dominate the competition on the show he lands on, and keeps egging Lesnar on by saying he’s the new killer in the company. The two finally have a showdown at SummerSlam, and maybe even Paul Heyman decides to join Joe full-time as they march towards a world title together.

Well, a man can dream.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW.
