10 WWE Stars We Aren't Allowed To Like
3. Brock Lesnar
When he gives half a sh*t, Brock Lesnar makes you like him.
Lesnar is positively ghastly in his role as a pulveriser of hapless meat. It looks like he is really, really hurting people out there. When he dents their heads and scrapes out the brain matter, he quite clearly is. When Lesnar bounced AJ Styles' head off the canvas at Survivor Series '17, it's a wonder his soccer mom haircut wasn't removed from his scalp. Lesnar at his best fused the legitimacy of combat sports with the spectacle of a guy who just got, but gave no real f*ck about, pro wrestling.
Do you like Brock Lesnar?
Tough t*tties!
WWE took the one pro wrestler equipped with the most presence ever, made his very presence a selling point, and then made you want him to go away by presenting him as a bored, boring hoss who simply did the same moves over and over again. It was novel, once, but it became a dreadfully boring act that WWE acknowledged, and made more boring, on purpose, to get fans to cheer Roman Reigns because he wrestled with a modicum of effort in comparison.
We should anticipate Lesnar's next appearance, but we probably wouldn't get '10 Best Opponents For Brock Lesnar's WWE Return' approved because nobody wants to see Brock Lesnar return, beyond those who dip into WWE on a casual basis...
...all to get a guy over who isn't getting over.
Sensational.
