10 Reasons WWE Champion Brock Lesnar Is Worth $5 Million A Year
9. Classic Matches
Lets take a look at Brock Lesnars body of work since returning to action for the company that made hims a star. His debut match against John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012 was a beautiful symphony of violence that more closely resembled an MMA fight/street brawl than it did a wrestling competition. His trilogy with Triple H didnt exactly set the world on fire, but sometimes even two elite workers just dont have the proper chemistry together, but he followed that up with a match of the year candidate against CM Punk at last years SummerSlam and then chopped Big Show down like a dead oak tree at the Royal Rumble. While his streak-breaking win over The Undertaker might not have been a technical classic, its a match that will always be remembered for the shocking nature of the outcome. And of course he followed that up with a match that, while not a masterpiece in the traditional sense, was a tremendously compelling in-ring story in which we witnessed the invulnerable superman Cena getting suplexed into oblivion. There are very few talents on the roster who can create the kind of gripping drama that Brock can when hes in the ring. Whether its the classic David vs. Goliath formula or the spectacle of seeing to monsters lock horns, Lesnar can always be counted on for a good-to-great match that the fans will be emotionally invested in.
