WWE Raw: 5 Things You Might Have Missed (Jan 11)

1. Brock Lesnar Is The Only Person WWE Can Book Correctly

For years one of the biggest complaints about the way WWE do things is their counterproductive 50-50 booking, which manages to make nobody a star and everyone a midcarder. By trading wins and losses like kids swap Panini stickers, the entire WWE roster is blighted by the perception that if you invest time in them they will ultimately fail sooner rather than later. That has been proven time and again over the years with talented grapplers such as Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Neville, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose. Even Seth Rollins €“ while he was WWE Champion no less €“ was not safe from the perils of €œmy turn, your turn€ booking. The one exception to the rule is the mighty Brock Lesnar. With their resident €˜Beast Incarnate€™, WWE has managed to get it right almost every time. Only appearing in front of the audience in the final few minutes of the show, Lesnar lay waste to everyone in the ring €“ which was all of WWE€™s heel roster €“ and managed to increase his already invincible aura even further. Lesnar looked like a god amongst men as he threw around the likes of Sheamus, Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio without breaking a sweat. He was a one-man wrecking ball, and he managed to save an otherwise drab show with his sheer presence. If only WWE could book someone who appeared every week in such a strong manner.
