WWE: 10 Reasons The Undertaker Vs Brock Lesnar Will Rule WrestleMania 30
2. Automatic Big Match Feeling
For all of his skulls and crowns and sledgehammers and thrones, Triple H will never have the intimidation factor or the natural intensity of Brock Lesnar. Brock commands an audience without costumes or gimmicks. He simply exists. So although we had all the music and props and pageantry for four WrestleManias in a row (two with Shawn Michaels against The Undertaker, and then two with Triple H), this Mania is going to feel even bigger. Paul Heyman's promos and WWE's brilliant video packages will build this into a highly-anticipated showdown, and Brock's terrifying presence will galvanize it. Who doesn't get nervous themselves, seeing Brock come out all glazed with sweat, that dull, murderous look in his eyes? The man still wears his sponsored gear as a nod to his fighting roots, and defies gravity but lurching his massive frame up onto the ring apron in a two-footed jump. He bounces from foot to foot, keeping warm, ready for action. His music thumps decisively and our hearts will surely beat faster. And then the lights will go out. The resounding gong, the flashes of lightning, the smoke rolling out: all to herald The Undertaker's entrance. His slow, deliberate pace to the ring builds the tension further, climaxing once he removes his hood to reveal kohl-rimmed eyes rolling back into his head. The moment has become so precious, so BIG, that all who witness it feel like they're a part of something special.
