If this were 1987 and Hulk Hogan was still rousing audiences behind his 'Say Your Prayers, Take Your Vitamins' hyperbole, then Brock Lesnar would be the ideal WWF heel. Built from the ground up to physically dismantle guys like Hogan, Lesnar would be finely poised to draw monster business opposing Hulkamania.

Nowadays, people live vicariously through fighting machines like Brock. They admire his killer instinct, find solace in his bad-ass persona and love that he's ultra-violent when the bell rings. Oh, how the industry has changed over time, although it's also true to say that Lesnar isn't a outright babyface.

Brock exhibits many heel characteristics. He acts aloof, almost superior, and he's backed by a loudmouth coward of a manager who does his talking for him. That's hardly the makings of a high-fiving, baby-kissing good guy, but Lesnar doesn't need to pander.

He can go up against both heels and faces equally in today's WWE without sacrificing his integrity or really changing anything about his on screen presence.
