The smartest way to use Lashley in MITB is to let him look big and mean, and maybe able to win, but then Finlay screws him. That's a good feud for this kid that might have some legs on it, as I've heard nothing but positive stuff about their brawls so far. RVD is probably the best guy to put over here, he's got the best skills, and the fans really have been dying to see RVD used as a top level guy. It also seems obvious he and Shelton will continue their burgeoning feud post-Mania, which would most probably mean one costing the other the bout. Some people have talked about the possible money in a Ric Flair victory and long title chase, but I dunno, there's always that school of thought that thinks somebody like Flair should get one last quick title reign before he tetires, but then you have to ask yourself whether or not a quick reign like that actually devalues the title in the long run.
