WWE have really made a hash of Brock Lesnar. When they signed the former WWE Champion back up in 2012, they were getting a box office sensation, a man who had done over a million PPV buys in the UFC. Lesnar was a mainstream celebrity from his fighting infamy, he was known in the same vein as Iron Mike Tyson was in his prime. Lesnar was the baddest man on the planet. If it hadn't been for a problem with diverticulitis he would have likely enjoyed further success in MMA, but as fate would have it, Lesnar could no longer compete effectively due to his gut surgery. Instead he ended up back where he started out as a name, the WWE, who paid Lesnar millions to secure his fame and services. The WWE had a star on their hands. Lesnar was the hottest box office name on the planet, but it didn't even take them a month to quash his invincible aura and hard man image right away Lesnar was jobbed out to John Cena. The story of Lesnar's return to WWE doesn't get much better. His TV segments (which WWE pay top whack for) constitute little more than a few minutes of posing. His pay-per-view story is full on depressing. Sure, he got wins at SummerSlam '12 over Triple H and SummerSlam '13 over CM Punk. However, when it mattered most, at WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar lost to then 43 year old part time business man Triple H. It was a damning defeat, the final nail in Lesnar's value as a hard-man. WWE had paid top dollar for a star, just so they could make him a loser. You would maybe understand if he was being used to elevate someone, but mid-forties Hunter didn't need that victory at all. The result a year on is that Brock Lesnar, once the most intimidating man on the planet, carries no threat into his WrestleMania 30 match with The Undertaker. Everyone sees Brock as the loser. It would have been a different story just three years ago, when Lesnar's name meant something. Here's 10 steps for WWE to book Brock Lesnar from Mania 30 to Mania 31 in the aim of restoring his aura.
