7 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 30th)

1. €˜Most Non-PG A**kicker Of The PG Era€™

To call Brock Lesnar a caged beast on Monday night would underscore just how angry and unhinged he was. It was the kind of raw, base emotion that so many wrestlers today lack. Nowadays, when someone loses a title, he might sulk, do an interview where he yells a little and then declares that he will win a rematch. Brock paced, he seethed, he twitched and he glowered as Paul Heyman laid a verbal beatdown on anyone and everyone in invoking Lesnar€™s rematch clause. Rollins would play off that perfectly, ducking the title match by claiming jetlag and that his foot hurt from curbstomping Brock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. The ensuing rampage from Lesnar did nothing but turn Brock into the biggest babyface in the company, the former champion cheated out of his title and denied a rematch. The announce team €“ especially Michael Cole €“ and a cameraman were not safe. That is how you hook fans and make them want to pay to see a match. Who wouldn€™t plunk down $9.99 to see Lesnar get his hands on Rollins right now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fOJGZ-NVXE Let€™s just hope that this €œindefinite suspension€ is about as indefinite as the Authority€™s firing at Survivor Series. Brock is red hot, and cooling him off with a long absence would be a shame right now.
