- Newsday.com has added a blog from former WWE creative team member Seth Mates. In the blog, Mates explains why the company didn't want the WWE title on Brock Lesnar anymore and how Hulk Hogan lobbied to beat him for the gold at a Survivor Series PPV. Below is what he had to say:

"The plan had been for Hulk to make his big comeback a few months later, and to challenge Brock for the title at Madison Square Garden for the title at Survivor Series," Mates writes. "It would have been quite an attraction—Hogan going for revenge and the WWE Title in Madison Square Garden. Of course, the swerve was that Brock would win once again.

"A month or so before Survivor Series, however, word got back to us that Hulk actually wanted to win the title in the Garden. Ain't no way that was going to happen, especially after Hogan's failed title run earlier in the year, so we decided to go in another direction—namely, to pair Brock up against Big Show and to turn Brock babyface."
