I seriously don't understand why people are so invested in who Brock could or couldn't beat up. And to think people say kayfabe is dead. Not invested... Just giving my 2 cents when I read shit like Baron Corbin could take Lesnar. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Flabby Corbin who doesn't have near the muscle or mass he had when he played football could go toe to toe with Lesnar just because his wiki says he boxed.

Couple that with a reputation for being a bully and not giving a f*** about anything else but money, and it's not surprising that people speculate about who could take him.

Vince is a pretty arbitrary guy so it would depend on what mood he was in at that moment.

People SHOULD be AGAINST an asshole like Brock, but instead they cling to him, and sneer about "BROCK COULD BEAT UP ANYBODY YOU BRING UP, AND HE SHOULD EVEN BEAT YOU UP FOR DARING TO NOT WORSHIP HIM!!!". People treat Brock as their physical combat avatar who represents them in arguments.

I think my dude Magic started using it and he is responsible for affecting the vocabulary of hella people on here who never used those words prior to him doing it. He's a trendsetter, haha. Honestly that dude is this generations greatest linguist. Up there with Shakespeare or The Wu Tang Clan. But I've heard that used often in my city. Mostly on construction sites or from MMA/Football/Rugby bros and people playing online shooting games. I always thought it was a British/Scouse thing, I've heard it for years mostly by scousers. Was kind of gratifying to see it fall into wider net usage, but now I learn it's always been global. The more you know.

Where did this murked word come from. Its sudden emergence and over use frightens and baffles me. I think my dude Magic started using it and he is responsible for affecting the vocabulary of hella people on here who never used those words prior to him doing it. He's a trendsetter, haha. He's the single most influential poster on the entire board. People who don't know hip-hop terminology need to learn it in order to keep up with him (sorry, kn, Magic did it first), and people who like Finn Balor need to learn to hate him because Magiconz set the trend that he's a "f***ing lame".

He's pretty much FAN's version of The Rock that he can make anything a catchphrase over with the audience. He made "Rubbing my hands together like Birdman" an actual phrase where at least 97% of the board doesn't know who Birdman is and the other 2% only remember him for the Wrestlemania's 26 theme song. That's charisma and talent.

I've said it before and I'll say it here, Magic needs to just start making shit up to see if people go along with it.

Magic knows Black Lives Matter made me do it. Magic knows Black Lives Matter made me believe Maura Ranallo can kick Brock Lesnars ass because he told me so.

There seem to be a prevalent attitude among UFC fans that only those with combat experience in UFC could beat up someone else from UFC.

Ignoring the fact Brock would likely take legal action, remember when Daniel Puder shot on Kurt Angle and was punished despite having been told to do so? That's what'd happen here. They've invested millions in Brock, there is no upside to knocking him out.

The one thing that would take down Brock Lesnar is a lack of public exposure. Lesnar's drawing power diminishes the more and more the rest of the roster is made to look like chumps. People weren't going to Wrestlemania 20 to see Lesnar take on Goldberg - they were there to see a man with 18 years' experience as one of the world's greatest technicians beat the King of Kings and Mr. Wrestlemania for the World Heavyweight Title. People weren't going to Wrestlemania 30 solely, or even primarily, to see Lesnar take on the Undertaker, but to see a man regarded as one of the world's greatest technicians defeat the COO of WWE and then go on to beat the champion. UFC won't want him back anytime soon - his legacy there is now tainted by his use of PEDs in the run-up to 200 and the more lax standards back when he actually held their heavyweight title. His presence in WWE, knowing what we know now about his relationship with its Wellness Policy, puts that company's integrity and commitment to talent safety into question as well.
He's a special attraction whose luster is being continually dulled through Vince's over-reliance on him. Lesnar doesn't shake things up so much as he tears things down. He's a constant reminder of an age before we came to care about things like concussions and injuries and what they have done to the people in this business we actually loved, especially now that the bodies, though only injured, are starting once again to pile up. If WWE were simply to say, "Creative has nothing for you at this time," and allowed him to sit out the remainder of his contract unseen and unheard-of again, I feel it would be a major win-win that would allow WWE to rebuild its brand and allow Brock to live comfortably, grow old and die, being Brock.
