Ups...
8. Grown Men, Hugging
When Brock Lesnar returned to WWE in April 2012, the reaction from fans was off the charts. The instant his music hit, fans started yelling, grabbing each other and jumping up and down. It was a surreal moment as fans welcomed back a conquering hero. Monday night, we saw that Brock has not lost that momentum. In fact, it looks like becoming a fan-favorite a**-kicker has helped him even more. As Lesnar made his way down to the ring at the beginning of Raw, the camera found two men grabbing each others shoulders as they cheered. The front row opposite the main camera started bowing to Brock. And a loud, long Suplex City chant broke out. While its not clear what is going to happen to Brock after Battleground, its fair to say that fans are happy to see him back and would like to keep him around a little longer. It will be interesting to see how they handle Sundays WWE World Heavyweight Championship match.
