OK. This is the word from Observer Radio on the Brock deal. 1. At no time was there any plan for Brock to do anything but job to Cena. The WWE mentality is that they are paying him $5million to come in and put over their stars, not build a long term money drawing storyline around him the way any one else running a business who shells out $5million for an employee would do. 2. Lesnar knew he was jobbing from day one, but was expecting Cena to go out on a stretcher so there is actually heat over that. He also was saying Cena pulled down the top rope to make him botch/try and injure him, tho Meltzer hears that's a work on the boys and Cena and Brock don't have actual heat. 3. WWE and Lesnar worked the dressing down of the officials to a degree, because WWE wanted word to get out that he was quitting before RAW and then SWERVE~! have him show up on tv. They also wanted to justify their booking decision with the boys by making it look he could quit at any minute, because that was a legit concern from the start. 4. Lesnar went off legitimately on one of Johnny Ace's assistant in front of a room full of people in order to sell #3, only he went off way more than they thought he would and said a bunch of shoot stuff that was "really, really bad", but unless this becomes a self fulfilling prophecy a la Pillman, he's not actually gonna quit for real . 5. The idea is still HHH/Lesnar at SummerSlam, then have Brock work at Rumble or SS and 'mania. "It's about building your product, and their product is John Cena not Brock Lesnar... he's not the product their investing in, he's the product they're spending money on. I know it's confusing, it's a confusing situation... every ones working every one, which is sounding too much like WCW, only WCW was planned better day to day." I have a headache now.

Read that this morning. Even though he wasn't carted off, Schwenk and I were still expecting them to play up that "I lost the battle but won the war" angle. I was surprised when they didn't.
they did last night

Meltzer talked about it on the observer radio show. This is how someone from another board summarized it.
