10 Worst Babyfaces In WWE History

5. Brock Lesnar

In 2002, Brock Lesnar obliterated Hulk Hogan, The Rock and The Undertaker en route to the WWE Championship and status as the top star on the SmackDown brand. So successful was he that "The Next Big Thing" moniker he had been handed no longer applied. He was wrestling's biggest frickin' deal already.

Then came the Survivor Series in November and a babyface turn ignited by Paul Heyman's betrayal and his first on-camera defeat at the hands of Big Show.

The run as a hero to the WWE faithful never really worked out the way WWE management had hoped. Though fans were receptive of him tossing the giant around the squared circle with impressive feats of strength, Lesnar never possessed the personality of a fan-favorite. He was a destroyer, an oppressive force. He worked best when he was pummeling an opponent into dust and selling for them during a babyface comeback.

He never thrived in the role of hero. It was difficult to get behind him during that initial run.

During his second run with WWE, Lesnar has garnered a fan following thanks to the similarities he shares with Marvel's The Hulk. Like the big green superhero, Lesnar smashes without hesitation. Fans tired of the talkative superstars and seeking a silent assassin of sorts gravitate toward him.

Something his lackluster, majorly disappointing babyface run of the early 2000s could never claim.
