10 Things That Made Brock Lesnar "The Beast"

5. The Brock Lock And The Kimura

Despite being known mainly for his incredible strength and visually-stunning F-5, Brock decided to change things up a bit and add some submission moves to his arsenal. This was done to prevent him from being seen as a one-trick pony with one possible match-ending maneuver. So in a match against Chris Benoit, a grappler known for his skill with submission holds, Brock showed Benoit and the WWE Universe by extension, that he knew some submissions as well. Apart from his Bear hug, Brock also showed some other interesting moves, including a half-nelson choke with body scissors. After a grueling back-and-forth match, Brock made the Rabid Wolverine tap out with his new move, the Brock Lock. It was a unique move that added more legitimacy to Lesnar as a pro wrestler. This would later set the tone for later chapters in Brock€™s career. After leaving both professional wrestling and football, Brock entered the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), where strikes and submission holds are preferred over flashy power moves. Brock€™s most well-known MMA-based maneuver became the Kimura Lock, or the Keylock, which is something he brought back with him to the WWE in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNHE_Qf4yp4 As if his F-5 was not impressive enough, his opponents now had something else to fear as well: the possibility of Lesnar breaker their arms, which is something he allegedly did to both Triple H and Mark Henry, among others. This, combined with the other submission holds he learned throughout his MMA career, made him an even bigger badass.
