I don't really play video games, this was just an observation that Brock is in kayfabe (and real life lets be honest) an unstoppable badass.
I love Bork, but when was the last time a superstar was booked this strongly? Like kicking out of finishers at 1, kicking out of multiple finishers in a row. Just unstoppable and near invincible. And because its Brock, it has been just awesome.
I know for example Big Show, because of his size, is supposed to have a scary, unbeatable aura, but its always like "rah rah rah I'm a Giant, you can't beat me!" and then one RKO is enough to beat him.
Kane in 1997 to early 1998 was unbeatable, seemingly, and it took Undertaker three tombstones to pin him at WM 15, which was unheard of at the time I believe. Are there any other examples of wrestlers who are this unstoppable? For faces, Hogan was never this tough in kayfabe, nor Austin. Nor any monster heels that I can remember.
So it raises a few questions.. 1. how the hell is Roman Reigns supposed to believably beat Brock at Mania? 100 superman punches?
2. What is Brocks power rating on WWE 2K15? Isnt it like 90 and Sheamus et al is stronger than him?
3. What other wrestlers have been booked this strong.

Andre the Giant was booked as unstoppable.
Others I can think of were: Vader Earthquake Goldberg Undertaker

It's such a shame he's been around so little, because if he'd been defending the title at a few other PPVs against some interesting opponents he could have been one of the best champions ever.
The only time I can think of anybody ever looking like this were Goldberg and possibly WCW Vader (bit before my time, only seen bits long afterwards).
And to answer the first question, he can't. Lesnar is bigger, tougher, and stronger than anybody on the roster- Last night established John Cena can't even come close to beating Brock via brute force and Night of Champions was a fluke. And Cena is stronger and more agile/versatile than Reigns, at the moment. The only way to believably beat him would be a different strategy- speed, strikes, submissions. Which leaves Daniel Bryan and possibly Seth Rollins. Maybe Ziggler if he got a better finisher.
Lesnar is the only example I cann think of in recent history where no-selling has actually worked. He gets stung for a moment, and then just gets up angrier than ever. None of this "I'm dead forever NO IM ALIVE TO BEAT THE 10 COUNT, back to being dead LOL POWERUP" stuff. He's just indestructible and it's awesome.
Bork is love. Bork is life.
