https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amOMUNq27m8 Its a shame that Brock Lesnar hasnt moved the needle for WWE more than he has, because his promo/interview Monday night was a beautiful example of what he brings to the table: a serious, straightforward a**-kicker. During his pre-taped interview, Lesnar matter-of-factly said he enjoy(s) hurting people. He referenced his contract issue, saying that whether he re-signs with WWE or not, he will still be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Brock talked about toppling the Undertaker last year, closing by saying that he was going to f*** up Roman Reigns. Everything about this promo was gold. It was the antithesis of the Rollins/Authority promo to open Raw. Watching that, you simply want to see what happens next. Is Lesnar really invincible? Can Reigns beat Brock? This also showed the kind of bada** heel that WWE really needs, someone who exists solely to hurt people. They had it for a while with Mark Henry a few years ago, and this is proof that there still is a place for it today.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
