Daniel Bryan recently spoke about his ideal situation for WrestleMania and more. Here are the highlights…

On Sting vs. Triple H: “I think he’d do very well. But it will be interesting because there’s a lot of pressure in WWE. And he’s older now. Let’s see how he handles that kind of pressure, whether it is a WrestleMania match or doing something at the Royal Rumble. It has been a long time since he’s performed in front of a crowd that big.”

On Paul Heyman: “Paul Heyman’s been an incredible performer for years and he’s been able to change and evolve with the way the business has evolved. To me, I feel like he’s very ahead of the curve. If you talk to Paul Heyman, he’s like a wrestling genius. He understands the fan base, he knows what people want. He’s an amazing performer.”

On Brock Lesnar: “Literally, my ideal scenario for Sunday would be I win the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar wins his WWE World Heavyweight championship match, and then we wrestle in the main event of WrestleMania. That’s what I hope happens. It’ll be interesting to see what actually does happen.”

Backstage Report - WWE Unable To Surpass UFC’s Offer To Brock Lesnar?, Details Inside

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Here is a new report on what is next for Brock Lesnar post-WrestleMania 31. Currently, Lesnar’s WWE deal is set to end the night after WrestleMania 31.

According to a source, Lesnar’s status with re-signing with WWE is up in the air. However, there have been rumors for months that Lesnar might try to make a return to MMA and go for another run in the UFC. Even Bellator MMA, which is backed by Viacom, has expressed interest in pursuing Lesnar. The report states that there is a backstage belief in WWE that UFC could have the best shot at signing Lesnar to a deal.

WWE apparently is not in a position to offer Lesnar as lucrative of a deal as he has had for the last several years in the company since he returned in 2012. The report also notes that Lesnar could be using a potential UFC deal as a negotiating tactic to get a bigger offer from WWE again.

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar Not Advertised Through The Rest Of 2014 - Details Inside Here

As you may recall, WWE’s contract with Brock Lesnar allows them to use him on a per-need basis if they have any plans for him as WWE World champion, with WWE paying him additional amounts for those dates based on his contract. As WZ reports, there are currently no advertised dates through the end of the year which may well indicate that there are no plans to use him until the Royal Rumble.

While it’s not uncommon for most stars not to be booked until fairly close to the dates they’ll be used, WWE has used always advertised Lesnar weeks and even months in advance which could well be a sign that he’s not going to be used.

Jim Ross Blogs On TNA Improving & Brock Lesnar Returning At Summerslam

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated his blog and he talked about TNA improving and Brock Lesnar returning at Summerslam:

On Impact improving: TNA Impact was a much better TV show this past Thursday night on Spike but many of the in ring talking segments could have been just as successful and impactful if they had been shorter. Why pro wrestling companies feel that succinct, soundbytes and cutting to the chase are out of style is beyond me. Plus, having a talent like MVP in MULTIPLE segments only waters down the talent. Overexposure used to be a viable concern of all bookers and upper mgmt types, IE Andre, Bruno, JYD, etc, on weekly TV shows, but it doesn't seem as if it is any longer which is fundamentally wrong.

Also read: ?Jim Ross Q&A - CM Punk/WWE Issues, Retirement, Alicia Fox, More

On Brock Lesnar headlining Summerslam: I'd book Lesnar to headline Summer Slam in Los Angeles and build the card around him. Yes, I'm prepared for the onset of knee jerkers who will say that Brock is part time and that part time talents are efficient. I don't concur and think that overexposure is running rampant in the wrestling biz and Lesnar certainly isn't over exposed. The WWE World Champion doesn't need to be on every TV or at every live event. That concept is antiquated. 

If some fans feel that this may be too predicable, then perhaps some are over thinking a pro wrestling storyline that makes sense. Making sense when executing a story line is much more important than doing the unpredictably stupid moves to just 'surprise' he audience. Don't get me wrong, I love a good pro wrestling surprise as much as the next fan but NOT at the expense of doing the right thing.

Brock Lesnar could wrestle at the upcoming WWE Night of Champions event in September.

Lesnar was not booked at Extreme Rules, so some of his dates have been reportedly back loaded. This could've been done in order to continue his feud from SummerSlam.

Jim Ross Blogs - Fans Bailing On D-Bryan, Lesnar, More

Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, here are the highlights…

On Fans Bailing on Daniel Bryan: Amazing that some 'fans' are jumping off the Daniel Bryan bandwagon now that the highly skilled star has won the WWE World Title and the reason is that they feel that the 'chase' is over and therefore DB has no more challenges ahead of him. Has anyone noticed that Bryan is STILL smaller than virtually everyone he wrestles and is STILL an underdog even as the champion? Keeping a fan favorite in varying levels of jeopardy or peril works....it always has and always will. It has worked in films and in main stream sports since their beginning, which is why they keep score, keep track of the standings, and play for something at the end of the year. If Bryan can continue to amazingly overcome the odds and retain the WWE World Title in non fluke wins, when the time comes for him to lose the championship, to Brock Lesnar would be my suggestion, say at Summerslam or even in November at Survivor Series, DB won't fade away. The best pure wrestler in the world isn't going to disappear unless he is removed from TV or he suddenly forgets how to perform his craft.

On Brock Lesnar: IMO Lesnar should not lose in 2014....at some point become WWE World Champion and then pass the imaginary torch to a young, up and coming star at WM31 ala a Roman Reigns, etc. Just my independent opinion which arguably is no more viable than your's.

On His Fox Sports 1 Project: My narration of a @FoxSports1 feature on the young, boxing son of the late Tommy Morrison airs Monday night on FoxSports1. I will tweet more info when I receive it. Morrison was a distant relative of John Wayne, defeated George Foreman for the WBO Heavyweight Title and died much too young at age 44. The native Oklahoman was also a star high school football player at Jay, Oklahoma and I officiated some of his games when he played there back in the day. It's a really cool feature on Trey Lippe Morrison who's looking to impact the heavyweight division in the world of boxing.

On His Podcasts: This week's Ross Report podcast is going great guns with guest @TheJimCornette as we essentially solve all the ills of today's pro wrestling genre. Seriously, it's one of the best discussions that I have ever participated in regarding the business that many of us still embrace. I hope you will check it out at podcastone.com or via iTunes. Next Tuesday pm our conversation with the amazingly talented and beautiful Gail Kim drops and we explore Gail's career, the major differences in working in WWE vs. Impact Wrestling, Gail's overall take on women in wrestling, her future, the delicate balancing of her career and her marriage to celeb chef Robert Irvine of the Food Network and much more. Gail is dead on honest about every topic and her candor was extremely refreshing. This past Tuesday night I talked for almost two hours with Shawn Michaels and it was the most compelling interview that I've done to date as HBK shares what it was like to to sitting at the Gorilla Position at WM30 specifically when the Undertaker's Streak abruptly and shockingly ended. It's a perspective that can't be replicated and that Ross Report Podcast is excited to premier on Tuesday May 6. Shawn's openness and straight talk makes this one of the most riveting and informative podcasts ever. This week I also confirmed Lance Storm and MVP for future Ross Report Podcasts as we keep cranking them out and hope that we can continue to build our audience by producing and recording some stout shows.

Brock Lesnar At WWEs Elimination Chamber PPV?

Credit: Jimm McShane and Pwinsider.comThis morning on Kare 11 (NBC) in Minnesota, Kane made an appearance to promote Elimination Chamber at the Target Center.

Kane clarified that Brock is with the company, and also said Lesnar will be at the pay-per-view.On the other hand, the guy intervie...
