SummerSlam is mere days away and all eyes are on the main event billed as The biggest fight of the Summer. John Cena defends his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against one of the most talked about wrestlers of 2014, Brock Lesnar. No doubt about it, Brock is a draw. His larger than life presence, his genuine intensity, his extremely physical style and of course, his mouthpiece the absolutely brilliant Paul Heyman, all combine to create a cant miss Superstar. When Brock Lesnar shows up the world pays attention. And hes the man that WWE desperately needs. With underwhelming subscription numbers, the WWE Network has so far been a financial misfire for WWE. Failing to break even on their most ambitious project ever, the WWE has brought in the man guaranteed to put butts in the seats. This Sunday, the man who conquered the Streak looks to conquer the face of the WWE. In anticipation of WWEs biggest Title match this year, we invite you to look back on Brock's storied, if inconsistent career, with his five best and worst matches. And if you would like to relive any of these matches, you know exactly how much a certain Network costs per month. We begin with five awesome matches ...

5. Brock Lesnar Vs Triple H (Extreme Rules 2013)
After nearly a year long feud that fans grew tired of too early, Brock Lesnar and Triple H squared off in Brock's domain, the Steel Cage match. Brock had won their decent first match at SummerSlam the previous year, and Trips defeated Brock in their overbooked No Holds Barred match at WrestleMania 29. This was the tie breaker and both men were determined to end their feud on a high. And thats exactly what they did. Going at a ferocious pace, both men seemed intent on ending the others career. Brawling wildly at first, the pace slowed after Brock missed a knee strike into the cage wall, which Triple H then worked on. So believable was Brocks selling, one could totally believe that he had injured his knee for real. Long term selling is a dying art in WWE these days. Soon after an exchange of finishers, Triple H surprised Lesnar by revealing his sledgehammer painted silver, camouflaged on top of the cage. That may sound ridiculous, but it was nice to see him do something different with his signature weapon after 13 years. Alas it was not enough. Brock Lesnar would defeat the Game after help from Paul Heyman and end the feud 2-1. It was easily the best match of their series and proved that despite Brocks spoiled UFC fighter reputation, he still understood and respected the importance of effective selling better than half the WWE roster.
As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG.
I may have a problem!
But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
