4. If He Wrestles Too Frequently His Matches Could Become Stale
Infrequent appearances benefit Brock Lesnar not only as a character, but as a performer as well. His matches are different from any other on the card - they're visibly stiff, feature heavy brawling and are super intense - but they're also largely similar to each other. Since returning to the WWE, Brock's first standard one-on-one match was against The Undertaker - two years into his second run with the company. Prior to that, all of his bouts have featured gimmick stipulations of some sort - Extreme Rules, Cages, No Disqualification, and so on. Technically speaking, his collision with The Big Show at the Royal Rumble was a traditional match - but it was just over two minutes and took place after Brock had destroyed his opponent with a chair. There's a reason for that being the case - The Beast Incarnate is a special type of worker and matches with little or no rules mesh well with his barbaric and brutal style. But the formula behind his matches will become painfully obvious if Brock is made to wrestle frequently - and, given the lengths that the WWE have gone to in an effort to solidify him as a special attraction, this can't happen.

As a child, when I wasn't doing typical Australian things like fending off dingoes while riding in the pouches of kangaroos, I was watching wrestling.
