He could let loose more back then. And do stuff like this.  Try picturing current Lesnar doing something like that. |

He really wasn't a great talker ever. Towards the end he was getting average when he has playing that dick heel Brock. His presence and looks made it so he never needed good mic skills to be a star.

Because now he's got the "MMA Barbarian who's too good and too real for Pro Wrestling" characterization stuck to him.

He really can't be acting in an embarassing/stupid way while he still has to wear his sponsors' logos on TV. |

Practice. He really doesn't have to/isn't around much to talk a lot now. His main function is to be something like Frankenstein's Monster, Jason, Doomsday, or any other unstoppable force.. doesn't lend itself to soliloquies.

Either way, I'd rather listen to Paul Heyman cut a promo than Lesnar any day of the week.

"Heel MMA" Brock Lesnar is fun and all, but every match he's been in since returning has been kinda samey. Not bad don't get me wrong, just never good when 5 or so matches all have a similar flow. |

They weren't.
He's more than capable of cutting a promo, but WWE is much less lenient in what a guy is creatively able to do. So it comes off as stilted and awkward, which is why Brock insisted on bringing Heyman back.

I will take this Brock, who will straight up kill you and doesn't feel the need to explain it to a nerd like you any day of the week

It's interesting to note that his best heel promo was after this UFC fight when he trashed the sponsors and acted like a giant douche.
