10 Wrestlers Most Likely To Be Steve Austin's WWE WrestleMania 39 Opponent
5. Brock Lesnar
Possibly not the most medically sound thing to manifest, but f*cked if it isn't one of the coolest.
Man with history of neck troubles versus man who troubles the neck of every poor pr*ck who takes a German suplex from him: that's a ghoulishly awesome dynamic, and they're both such great workers that they are more than capable of maximising what is only the illusion of significant danger. Also, Austin took a suplex on the concrete floor at WrestleMania 38. A move that looks as dangerous as that, as a result of the aura of the man delivering it, but isn't as dangerous: book a match around it.
It would rule.
There's also some backstory to work with, not that a clash like this needs anything more than its premise: it's the ultimate alpha male battle. Still, there was that business of Austin walking out of a scheduled match against Lesnar back in 2002. Lesnar could claim Austin only took his ball and went home because he pissed his pants and didn't have a spare pair.
As awesome a prospect as it is, nobody would fancy doing the job, would they?
