20 Most Iconic WWE Wrestlers Of All Time

19. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's "Beast" moniker is more than just a nickname. Lesnar is an absolute monster of the professional wrestling world. What makes Lesnar so iconic is that he brings a certain legitimate, a**-kicking quality that is unprecedented. Sure, there's legendary tough guys like Haku and Harley Race, but what's unique about Lesnar is that we've all seen him being a legitimate badass thanks to his time in UFC. Brock is a major WWE attraction, whether it's his current run or his initial run back in the early 2000s. This is a guy who went on to beat The Rock for the then-WWF Undisputed Championship mere months after debuting, someone who tore it up with Kurt Angle for several years, and someone who is a true brute that we've seen showing freakish strength and agility time after time. And now, during the last few years, it's amazing to see how much of a spike in ratings or increase in buyrates Lesnar brings in. When you know Brock Lesnar is coming to your TV screen or local arena, you know a brutal-looking a**-kicking is coming with him.
