10 WWE Heels Who Were Too Entertaining To Boo

6. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is a born heel. He has, over the years, perfected his monster act to the point where it wouldn’t be hyperbole to call him the most destructive wrestler in WWE history. Lesnar combines terrifying power and athleticism with a mile-wide ruthless streak, and it helps that he’s a legitimate athlete from a strong combat sports background.

Together, Lesnar and his manager Paul Heyman are the total package. They’re WWE’s biggest special attraction even today, and although their appearances are few and far between, when Lesnar and Heyman show-up, it means something big is about to happen.

Lesnar received pockets of cheers throughout his first WWE run, but his reactions went through the roof upon his 2012 return. Appearing for the first time in 8 years, Lesnar destroyed John Cena’s one-man welcoming committee with an F5, and from that point on, he’s rarely experienced widescale hostility, with the past 18 months and his Streak-snapping win over The Undertaker the only notable exceptions.

Fans didn't truly turn on 'The Beast Incarnate' until patience for his lengthy Universal Title reigns wore thin. Before that, the spectacle he brings transcended everything.
