Lesnar beat Hogan with a bear hug (Brock Lock) just a few weeks later on an un-advertised Smackdown match. Not sure what their obsession was, when they had Lesnar go over on a ton of people in un-advertised TV matches. Actually Hogan and Lesnar had a couple of run-ins prior to that match. Hogan had goaded Lesnar into putting his #1 contenders spot at Summerslam the previous week after beating Angle by DQ. I thought the Brock Lock was that modified single crab thing he did to Benoit in 03? both were called the Brock Lock. He stopped doing to side bearhug originally called that fairly early on.

Still true to this day. Austin understands build up and momentum Vince no longer does. Austin wrestled one more match in his career and Brock is physical in the ring. Vince understood TIME in a way Austin didn't. As in Austin didn't have much left. And honestly, Rocky Maivia fought Austin before he became The Rock. They still drew Yes, I'm sure Vince thought "Hey, Austin is nearly finished....let's hot shot a completely meaningless throwaway match against Lesnar with no build up whatsoever to get the best of out him before he's done!" Genius.
