50 Ups & 50 Downs For WWE's Decade: The 2010s
39. Brock Lesnar Vs The (Small) World
Greeted with boos the majority of the time he stewards a top title, there's a certain magic WWE chase by perpetually returning him to the position - and it's almost always found against a smaller man.
Brock's battles with Braun Strowman, The Big Show and Kane yielded little, but the white hot electricity generated from his wars with AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Finn Bálor have powered his controversial reigns.
A dragon so nearly slayed before he busts out his deathblow F5, Lesnar sells differently. He walks, talks and acts differently, his initial confidence betrayed by the beating he's received. Only then, at his reddest and sweatiest, does he summon the respect he should have had from the start to put the smaller man down. It's breathless, it's brilliant, and long may it continue.
