20 True Stories Behind Famous Wrestling Names
6. Brock Lesnar's 'F5'
Tornadoes are some of the most violent weather patterns known to man, but they vary in intensity. Meteorologist Ted Fujita invented the scale by which we measure the gnarliness of a tornado’s maximum wind velocity, based on the damage caused. That’s become known as the Fujita scale, with 5 being the maximum. That makes the F5 the measurement for the nastiest, most abusive tornado around, because people have no imaginations and possibly ‘Blue Dragon Voodoo Storm’ was too popular a baby name that year.
With tornado winds climbing in intensity in recent years, meteorologists have been using the Enhanced Fujita Scale to describe these super-tornadoes, leading prominent wrestling commentators to ask when Lesnar will move with the times and begin using an enhanced version of the F5 involving sharks and ninja stars.
