20 Greatest WWE SmackDown Superstars Ever
8. Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar was once so far away from the suplex-chucking sleepwalker of 2018 that he was willing to wrestle for an hour on a taped show and lose four falls in the process.
Long before 'The Next Big Thing' became 'The Beast', he was simply a freakishly brilliant prospect-done-good, owning his newfound fame as the WWE Champion and surpassing expectations as the best all-rounder in the game.
Though criminally cut short by his own indifference, his 2002-2004 stint on SmackDown had the exact blend of Sports and Entertainment to make him an outstanding babyface and terrifying heel. He was a dream sequence come to life for Vince McMahon - it's no wonder The Chairman paid so handsomely to have him again.
