9 Things We Learned From Jim Cornette On The Ross Report
7. There Needs To Be A Very Good Reason For Brock Lesnar To Lose
One match that many viewers took umbrage with at WrestleMania was the street fight between Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose.
Some felt it was the wrong decision for Ambrose to lose, feeling that a young and over superstar such as the Lunatic Fringe would have benefited more from the win than a part-timer like Lesnar.
Cornette (and Ross) make the point that Brock Lesnar is wrestling's most special attraction. The Beast Incarnate is the top draw in the business at the moment, and a lot of that is down to how unique, special and real he is.
Lesnar comes across as the real deal because he truly is the real deal. For want of a less modern day term, he is 'legit'.
The point is made that an extremely good argument needs to put forward for why someone would beat Lesnar. The more he loses the, less he is worth to the company, and his opponents can get over and get a rub through merely being difficult to beat.
At WrestleMania 32 it took 13 German suplexes and an F5 on a stack of chairs to put Ambrose down, something that has seemingly been forgotten in the time since.
