You do realize that, for one, Brock only has limited appearances available and WWE can't afford to bring him in that often to work smaller programs that will ultimately be for nothing. WWE does not need to build Brock at all, nor do they have to worry about ring rust (that should be Brock's problem, not WWE's).
If Brock feuds with Sheamus or Punk or someone on his way to facing whoever at 'Mania (let's say Triple H just for example), then Brock would have to win all of those feuds to build him (because that is the point). How would that help Sheamus or Punk or anyone? It would be very arduous to keep putting over BOTH Brock and his opponent month after month, because the big thing to WWE when it comes to this stuff is not putting guys over (they can do that any time they want), it's simply to DRAW. Especially at WrestleMania. They want the biggest stars with the least amount of work to draw.
And you said with builds like Rock vs. Cena, people get bored. Tell me, who got bored? Bored of what? That crowd at WrestleMania sounded everything BUT bored. And tell me, did that match draw? Yes it did. Mission ACCOMPLISHED.
Of course Brock would win a match against Punk or a match against Sheamus, but the RUB those two would get from being in the ring with him would help the both of them. There's no shame in losing to Brock Lesnar; all it can do is build you up. You may not remember this, but JOHN CENA used the rub he got to catapult him into the upper midcard and the main event. Before he challenged Brock, Cena was just a joke. His match (though he lost) proved that he could go with the top guys AND keep the crowd involved on that level.
I know he only has a limited number of appearances, but when he shows up to talk ish to HHH, have HHH put him in a match! It's still one appearance, right? If he has it in his contract that he's only going to WRESTLE a few times a year, DON'T TRY TO INVOLVE HIM IN A MAJOR STORYLINE. Being who he is, he'll draw regardless. Then, we won't get HHH coming out and wasting ten minutes of tv time telling us a bunch of stuff we already know bc they've recapped it two or three times (most times, right before he comes out. Talk about beating a dead horse!). It's redundance, and it's not needed.
And who got bored with the Rock/Cena feud? Uh, a CRAP TON of the folks on this website, for one. Don't tell me you don't remember everyone complaining about how we got the same damn promos from those two every other week. The crowd was hot bc THEY WERE IN THE ROCK'S HOME TOWN; do I seriously need to state this fact? There's no doubt that it drew, but it wasn't bc of their promos and all the time that was wasted on the mic; it drew bc IT WAS THE ROCK v. JOHN CENA! WWE didn't need to waste weeks and weeks of mic time building up the Hogan v. Rock match from WM18; it drew, had a crowd that was JUST AS HOT as the one this year, it wasn't in EITHER guys backyard, AND neither guy had been away from wrestling for long, so the novelty factor wasn't even that strong.
