https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN_GNrWQlGs The F5 is a thing of beauty. It's a physically impressive, violent, tornado like move that works perfectly for Brock Lesnar. It just doesn't feel right seeing someone else perform it. Close your eyes and try to imagine Ryback or Roman Reigns using it. It wouldn't even be in the same league. No one on the roster can match Brock in brute strength, and is able to hoist an opponent onto his shoulders like he can with such superhuman ease. Over the years, watching him toss larger opponents like Mark Henry or The Big Show over his head is an incredible visual, the kind that you can only see within the confines of professional wrestling. Perhaps part of the reason why the move is so great, is because how rarely we've seen it. Brock's original run was only two years long, and upon his return he's an extreme part-time act. But every time he attempts an F5 the crowd goes crazy, whether he is a face or a heel. The move is over due to this man. There was no need for Brock to ever even try a Shooting Star Press, as he owns the best finishing move in all of WWE.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
