If there's one lesson to be learned since Brock Lesnar took the WWE Championship from John Cena, it's this: Brock Lesnar loves suplexes. His bouts have slowly transformed from professional wrestling contests into unbroken chains of throw after throw after throw, each bringing his opponent crashing down onto the mat with a sickening thud - or onto the concrete floor, into the laps of the announce team, over the guard rail, etcetera. At no point was this more apparent than the main event of WrestleMania 31. Lesnar crushed Roman Reigns for most of the match, dealing out a devastating sequence of suplexes and F5s of immense brutality. When one thinks of the best suplexers in WWE history (Angle, Benoit, Tazz), a certain grace is shared between them. Each man was able to scoop up his opponent and deposit him on the canvas as perfectly as a diagram in an amateur wrestling textbook. Brock Lesnar does not suplex in this way. His technique is undoubtedly polished, but the throws themselves are not all clean lifts and right-angles. Brock hoists people around whether they like it or not, in any way he chooses. Style is replaced by sheer brutality. Here are a whole host of instances in which Lesnar took his opponents to Suplex City (and one or two where the tides were turned...).
