10 Most Believable Performers In WWE Today

1. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar had a dismal 2016 - but his aura remains bulletproof.

His Night Mayor of Suplex City routine has long since lost is lustre - and yet, boring as it has become, it's still the most convincing in all of wrestling. Even before Lesnar conquered the MA world - with a debilitating bout of freakin' diverticulitis - Lesnar was a phenom, a physical specimen as intense as he was intimidating.

Even the doping scandal which engulfed him in the aftermath of his since-rescinded victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200 has barely dented his mystique, for Lesnar is as detestable as he is frightening. It's so easy to hate him, given how little he appears to care about the industry he has been given the green light to run roughshod over. Speaking ahead of that UFC match, when asked about the opinion of Stephanie McMahon, he opined, simply, that he didn't care. When asked whether a loss might affect his drawing power, his response was even more blunt: "I don't really give a sh*t."

Lesnar is presented on WWE television as an unbeatable, heartless mercenary. For better or worse, he is most definitely that.
