Bring the Rubbers; It'll be a Quickie

With the conclusion of Wrestlemania XXIX and the past two Monday Night RAWs, the WWE Creative Team had to do some scrambling as their plans for Rock 'n' Brock immediately were nixed with the injury that the Rock endured at MetLife Stadium. So, with that said, we are now going to have Brock and Triple H Part III at Extreme Rules. Entering the PPV with a victory over one another, this will be the "rubber match" that hopefully and finally decides the end of these two superstars.

Brock Lesnar needs to put Triple H away. But that most likely won't be the outcome. Why? Simply because  Lesnar is only in the WWE for a payday. Solid worker, but he will take either win or loss, and walk away with money in his hand. That's why Triple H went over Lesnar at 'Mania; Lesnar took the loss for money.

But with Brock Lesnar falling to the Game, what does that do for his character? If Lesnar loses at Extreme Rules, Creative loses as well; they lose the credibility in a major part timer to put over another part timer who is already nearing his end as an active superstar. So, in reality, what is the point? This mirrors Vince McMahon going over any superstar he put himself in front of back in the Attitude Era--just for the glitz, glamour, and spotlight. With now being a corporate man, Triple H doesn't need to hog the lime light and go over every superstar in the WWE; sure, he's frickin' Triple H, but he's a man with a shirt and tie now. Recently, Paul Heyman had joked in an interview that if he had control and how he would run the WWE differently, he "would fire the McMahons immediately". That's not a bad idea.

Lesnar needs a win to ensure his dominance as a character. This is what Wrestlemania XXIX was lacking, with the entire WWE in general; there is no character development. There is inconsistency within the ranks, and without any solid foundation on whether or not Brock Lesnar continues to keep Heyman around and corral the monster Lesnar, how would the next opponent for Brock stack up? Lesnar loses to Triple H in an Extreme Rules Cage Match, and his next opponent is Sheamus--Sheamus had taken Triple H out in a Street Fight and kept him off of TV for ten months, so if Triple H can take out Brock... so can Sheamus. It isn't consistent. And it looks bad in the audience's eyes, unless there is some sort of build that makes Brock look dominant. Which Creative has a problem of doing. Take a look at Extreme Rules two years ago, with Triple H having a rough time with the Celtic Warrior below.

Another possibility (after Brock puts away Triple H) could be a potential Batista return. Rumors have stated that since Dave Bautista's MMA and movie careers are not progressing in the way that he would like them to, and with the Rock out of the picture, Batista would be pushed to return as soon as humanly possible. But it also leads to believe, will Batista become another part timer? When The Animal became a top superstar in the WWE, he was awesome. Then Creative turned him into a whiny little bitch, everything shy from his original, dominant

persona. It was absolutely ridiculous, and it buried Batista's credibility because he was "leaving the company". I've noticed a lot of superstars who are on their way out are buried and humiliated tremendously, which really doesn't burn bridges for some who would like to return, and leaves a sour taste in superstars' mouths.

The new "part timer" contracts aren't needed, and it gives an unnecessary amount of leverage for many past superstars to come back, work whenever they feel like, and leave without a moment's notice. Batista has noticed Brock, Rocky, Triple H, Undertaker, and others working the easy schedule, and he's chomping at the bit. Other past superstars, like Batista and now RVD, are more than likely going to take advantage, which is also going to de-value the product, in my opinion.

The WWE should focus on developing talent to their potential, and kick the part timers to the curb. Nobody wants to work a full-time schedule, but they want to get paid the money for full-time.
