Austin vs Lesnar WrestleMania 32: 10 Most Compelling Factors
10. Austin Is The Last Guy Left For Lesnar To Conquer
When Brock Lesnar debuted the night after Wrestlemania 18, the main roster should have just gone into hiding. An entire locker room of champions, legends, and guys on the rise would bow down to Brock almost immediately upon his debut. It's not like they had a choice.
Lesnar opened up pure destruction on The Undertaker (who's never defeated him) Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Kurt Angle, The Hardy Boyz, Big Show, Rob Van Dam, Ric Flair, John Cena, Edge and more in his first run.
Missing from that list is a pretty big star from that time period...Stone Cold Steve Austin.
When Lesnar returned in 2012, he went on a similar warpath extinguishing John Cena in the biggest WWE Championship Squash Match since Diesel vs Backlund, CM Punk, The Big Show, HHH, and he beat some undefeated dead guy at WrestleMania XXX.
As you can see, not much is left for Brock as far as guys from the previous era. One has to imagine Brock would love the idea of being branded "The Attitude Era Killer" (similar to Orton's legend killer persona) by defeating each major star to come from it who crossed his path.
