10 Times Great Wrestlers Got Lazy In Big Matches

10. Brock Lesnar Vs. Dean Ambrose (WrestleMania 32)

On his day, Brock Lesnar is one of the most exciting wrestlers in the world. His power, athleticism, and intimidation factor make him incredibly fun to watch and he has produced plenty of classic bouts with opponents as diverse as CM Punk, Kurt Angle, and The Undertaker over the years.

Consistency has always been an issue for 'The Beast', however, and the current WWE Universal Champion has delivered more than his fair share of half-hearted performances throughout his career. It's always obvious when he isn't feeling particularly motivated, and this was clearly the case when he wrestled Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 32.

It was no more than an extended squash match, and Dean was given little shine throughout. 'The Lunatic Fringe' was mauled, with Lesnar overcoming several tame weapon spots en route to an inevitable victory, dashing all hopes of a hardcore recreation of Mick Foley vs. Edge from 'Mania 22.

Dean later hung Brock out to dry, claiming "Brock didn't want to do anything", and that he was the only one putting in any effort to make the match stand out, which reflects on Lesnar's performance - rarely has he looked so lethargic.
