There is no denying that, at one point, Steve Austin was the biggest badass in pro wrestling. That was then, this is now. Brock Lesnar is 295-pounds of bone crushing, face smashing back breaking destruction. He has laid waste to some of the biggest stars in the industry and has rarely looked vulnerable. He is the unstoppable force and the immovable object all rolled up in one. Athletes in their prime, including the biggest star in professional wrestling, have been manhandled and made to look childish. The idea that 50 year-old Austin, regardless of how defiant and rebellion he may be, can defeat Lesnar is ridiculous. Fans may have believed in Austin at the height of his career. They may have lived and died vicariously through his character but now, they believe more than anything else that Brock Lesnar is the baddest M.Fer on the planet and convincing them that Austin can beat him will take doing that WWE's writing staff simply is not capable of.
