10 Most Believable Superstars In WWE History

1. Brock Lesnar

It's incredibly difficult to surpass an Olympic gold medalist, in terms of believability in pro wrestling, but somehow, Brock Lesnar has managed to do that.

After winning the NCAA Heavyweight Championship in 2000 following a second-place finish in '99, Brock Lesnar arrived in WWE with an impressive pedigree. Like Angle, he quickly rose up the WWE ranks and, 6 months after debuting on the main roster (even faster than Kurt), Brock became the youngest WWE Champion in history at 25. In '04, Brock left WWE and eventually turned towards the incredibly tough, competitive environment of the UFC. In 2008, Lesnar defeated Randy Couture to become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion - a title he would successfully defend multiple times.

All these accomplishments provided Brock with an even more impressive background when he returned to WWE in 2011 than when he first joined the company in 2002. A couple of unprecedented victories over The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX (ending The Streak) and John Cena at SummerSlam 2014 (a one-sided main event squash match for the WWE Championship), and Brock Lesnar can easily lay claim to being the most believable WWE superstar of all-time.
