When Brock Lesnar retired from mixed martial arts after his loss to Alistair Overeem on Friday night, the pro wrestling world opened their eyes.
The much-rumoured Undertaker versus Brock Lesnar WrestleMania dream match was now a possibility.
In yesterday's predictions for 2012, I selected 'Brock Lesnar will return to WWE' instead of 'Brock Lesnar will wrestle Undertaker at WrestleMania' because I am unsure whether the match will happen this year.
There's no question now that the match will happen at WrestleMania.
I just don't know if they'll do it this year.
The Rock will be at this year's show. It's also speculated that Shaquille O'Neal will be involved. So, they have the mainstream star power on the line-up in 2012.
Lesnar returning to WWE will be big news and would be overshadowed or overshadow the other events on the card depending on personal opinion.
I guess what I am saying is, they should hold off for one year and have the main event for WrestleMania XXIX booked one year in advance just like they have had for the past number of months with The Rock and John Cena.
Im not sure if I agree with WWE holding off a full year to put Lesnar in 'Mania. Think about it, Lesnar has never been more popular in the world: He is coming fresh off retirement from UFC and he is only going to lose soke of that hype over a year from now. He's even in the new WWE video game! To capitalize on this would be huge!
