Yeah, he's a monster physically still, and still visually impressive but this http://www.ewwarehouse.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Brock-Lesnar-Bio1_crop_exact.jpg is just ridiculous.

I agree completely. It's like a living Hulk. Imagine if he'd have been able to nail that Shooting Star Press. He almost got it too and I don't think that was something he spent time practicing. Thank God he didn't kill his neck and life.

Too bad he's garbage with the mic and has one of the least intimidating voices in the WWE. That will always be his limitation as a 'character'. It's like he talks with his tongue on his molars at the back of his mouth or something.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I tend to think it's just WWE's usual creative dumbfuckery. Guy's a good promo on his own.

There were also plenty of times he stumbled on his words or was left speechless.

If he never spoke a word, his WWE career would have been so much better for it. Just give him a gimmick where he feels that talking is beneath him and "MY CLIENT" etc. Would have done him a world of good. Even that UFC promo was kinda half assed. "I'm gonna drink a beer, hang out with my friends and family and MAYBE have sex with my wife."

It's worlds beyond "JESUS IS THE ONE WHO GOT ME HERE GOD BLESS" but it's not really much beyond that.

But the thing is he DID nail it.

He done it fairly often in OVW, the WM19 one was just a freak botch.

The SSP was his finisher in OVW. He has nailed it.

An excellent part of that is that Jim Ross ALREADY KNEW WHO HE WAS when he hit the ring. There wasn't that horseshit "WHO'S THAT GUY" crap they usually pull on similar angles.

Yeah, who's that guy in full gear?

Brocks triple powerbomb was amazing but it was super OP but cause it was a finsher by itself and overshadowed the f5.

He would have hit the SSP if he had moved Kurt Angle, like, any closer at all.

I've seen a lot of people using OP to desccribe something good lately. What does it stand for? I keep reading Original Poster, and it makes no sense.

He also double-pumps the takeoff, either because of the ropes being bouncier than he thought or by hesitation. It was a lot of bad factors that resulted in a bad SSP.

I love that someone actually put that on a sign at Wrestlemania. It's right up there with Feeling that I'm Feeling Because I'm Feeling It.

Personally, I think stuff like this works in his favor. It makes him seen like a raving lunatic who does not give one single poo poo about what people think of what he says.

My brain is kinda addled so i'm blanking on specific matches except for Kurt/Lesnar WM 19 but in his first go he had runs against Eddie and Kurt and Taker. Had a run against early Cena where Cena got the "F-U" name for his finisher to be his version of the "F-5". I know i'm blanking on some. Oh try to find his handicap match vs The Hardy Boyz just for the spectacle of him just slinging them around like jobbers.

Brock vs Show was always a spectacle. They had a match at a Royal Rumble where it was just Brock throwing around Show and it was amazing. They had a match on Smackdown that ended in this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K30gm2OFhY

Which I think was the first time WWE did that, although they did it again since.
