10 Reasons WWE Should Renew Brock Lesnar's Expiring Contract

7. Legitimacy

Nowadays, it's rare to find a professional wrestler that strikes fear into the hearts and minds of fans. The days of Bruiser Brody or Terry Funk chasing fans around the arena while they run in terror are long gone. However, when you get someone who is a legitimate athlete and looks like a Greek god, you have to take advantage of that. Brock Lesnar has the Mike Tyson Factor in his favor. Basically, that means if Mike Tyson walked into a crowded auditorium and sat down, the people inside would get instantly nervous. That's because they know that Tyson is a dangerous man who could snap at anytime and destroy any human being that happened to be around him. Brock Lesnar has that same aura around him. People know that Lesnar is a tough guy because they've seen him beat the very best heavyweights in the UFC. The fact that he looks like he's carved out of granite doesn't hurt either. Being a successful athlete like Brock or Kurt Angle gives you instant credibility in the ring. People know that you can cause pain and destruction and aren't just another "phony wrestler" who pretends to fight...like the Miz.
