10 Things I Hate About Brock Lesnar
Bored and bent out of shape: why 'The Beast' bugs me.
Four years after his shock return to WWE, Brock Lesnar has been steadily built up into the most unstoppable monster in professional wrestling maybe in professional wrestling history. What are the points of comparison? Bruiser Brody was bigger and more unhinged, and Big Van Vader was just as horribly violent, but both men were capable of losing a singles match to the right opponent. Abdullah The Butcher was a gruesome sideshow attraction, and no matter how overwhelmingly monstrous Umaga seemed, he was only created to be fed to John Cena. Well, Lesnar lost to Cena too - in his first match back in the company in 2012 - and then he came back and ate him alive at SummerSlam 2014 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, causing impromptu conga lines to break out in the homes of wrestling fans worldwide. Following that win, fans began to cheer for the vicious, unholy heel more often than not, and when he returned to WWE in summer 2015 to challenge Seth Rollins, the cowardly heel that took the title from him at WrestleMania 31, it was as a kinda-sorta babyface. Lesnars record of delivering a smirking murder-death-kill to anyone stupid enough to set foot in a ring with him had got the villain over as a hero. Kinda-sorta. The Beast Incarnate isnt over with me, though. If anything, Im over him. These are the 10 Things I Hate About Brock Lesnar. And dont worry, I made a bet with God that I could get through the entire article without mentioning the Streak ...damn it.
