2) I also think a loss to a debuting Joe or Nakamura would be a lot better as well.

Now with that said it would need to happen relatively soon before all of Lesnar's cache is gone.

I agree with this. I would have either Joe or Nakamura debut Sunday by interfering in Lesnar/Goldberg and taking both out. They would instantly be a credible threat. Then you can book them in a triple threat match at WM and have them go over Goldberg and Brock, and they would become one of the biggest stars on the roster.

Anyone singlehandedly laying out both Brock and Goldberg does not sound like it could come off believably, and certainly not if the person doing it was Nakamura.

Well they wouldn't do it clean Sunday. They would run in with a chair or something. Then over the next few months they would be booked really strong, including a nice performance at the RR without winning it. That way it would be believable when they win the triple threat clean at WM.

FWIW, if they were going with your plan, I think I'd let Lesnar-Goldberg be whatever it's going to be on its own on Sunday, just allowing for a confrontation the following night that gets interrupted by someone furious that wrestlers from a prior generation are hogging their spot.

Mostly wouldn't want to make their Sunday match about a third person just because a non-negligible chunk of the fans (not me) will be tuning in primarily for that match, and some NXT dude blowing it up wouldn't get the right kind of heat/momentum/whatever.

Yeah that's a really good point. The nostalgia crowd would hate to see a run-in during the main.

post match beatdown solves that nicely-ish

Just to bring what I've been curious about full circle, I just found this:

Quote:

The agenda was reported they didn’t want Orton taking the pin from the beast because it would make him look weak.

So Orton losing to an unstoppable monster makes him look weak? Also, I think it makes him look even weaker that he doesn't want to get right back in there with Brock and get revenge for being knocked the **** out. Vince is an insane person.
