At first, a contest between Lesnar and Suzuki might seem like a mismatch -- after all, Lesnar is nine years younger and 60 pounds heavier than the former All Japan Triple Crown Champion. However, Suzuki is one of the pioneers of mixed martial arts in its current form, and he was beating people up for money when Brock was in middle school. Just like Lesnar's athletic credentials and pure badness can't be discounted, neither can Suzuki's. The match would probably start off like all of Lesnar's bouts do -- with an onslaught from "The Beast Incarnate." Punches, elbows, and of course, German suplexes would be the order of the day as Brock tried to take his foe apart, but if anyone can weather the storm -- and go on to find a weakness in Lesnar's game to exploit -- it's Minoru Suzuki. "The Man with the Worst Personality in the World" (yes, that's really one of his nicknames) can grab a body part, slap on a submission hold, and give Lesnar Frank Mir flashbacks in the blink of an eye. Would Lesnar, then, be able to handle Suzuki's onslaught? We'll probably never know.
