He was a little too into the hopping around part. I WILL DESTROY YOU! But first some hopping. lol, the hopping gets me too. He looks weird doing it now, like it used to be just something he did to get psyched up on the ramp, but now it's this serious hop that he must do regardless of circumstance. |

I will never understand how Brock Lesnar is "badass"; badass to me is someone charismatic and with attitude yet imponent at the same time, maybe like Ryback, Lesnar looks more like a 80's villain, a bully that hurt people because he knows nobody can't stop him, I rather see Cena or anyone kick his ass than see him kicking ass. Hmm, I don't quite understand your inclusion of impotence in your idea of badassness. But it intrigues me, could you give a further example? Or maybe explain in what way Ryback is impotent? To me he's seemed super powerful, to the point where people can only beat him by screwy finishes |

Speaking as somebody who doesn't watch much, to me Brock Lesnar is the most interesting character WWE has.
Granted, I'm biased: I LOVE truly monstrous heels who seem like they're actually steamrolling guys (Vader is one of my all time favorite wrestlers for a reason, y'know). Nobody else that I see in WWE has the presence about them that warrants the announcers basically saying "Oh dear God, no..." if he shows up.
I'm sure some of that has to do with him not showing up too much, but heels like that can be worth their weight in gold if you book them properly.

The other part that makes Brock seem so monstrous is that the character gets off on hurting people, but especially gets off on it when the other person can't fight back.
And (diverticulitis and not being able to deal with getting hit in the face aside, since that counts for nothing in WWE) not many people can fight back when it comes to Brock.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who seems to have an irrational positive reaction to Brock. On one hand, I'm pissed he's only around now and again and can't even put in a part-time schedule.
On the other hand, when that "BRAAANAHNUHNAHNUHNAHNUH..." hits at the beginning of his theme music, I can't help but jump up and pay attention. I wasn't even that big of a Brock fan during his first run, but nowadays he just has this presence that no one else on the roster, heel or face has. He inspires fear and intimidation like nobody else in the company and every time he shows up, I can't help but be glued to the screen. He's got a magnetic presence, and that says a LOT for a guy who I only saw wrestle live once... at WrestleMania XX.

Brock is great. Beat up Cena. Beat up HHH. Beat up Vince when he was going to fire Heyman. High class work. If he beats up Hornswoggle that will complete his IWC face turn. In fact, a Hornswoggle beat down has got to happen. Brock F-5ing Hornswoggle would be the best moment of the year. An F5 into the crowd and I would explode. |

Brock Lesnar saved Raw for me. I was fed up after watching the Rumble with the whole Cena wins/Rock wins crap and Raw wasn't exactly making me any happier with the further burial of Cody Rhodes and the crappy Raw roulette wheel. I was hoping for a Brock return when Rock was in the ring but to be honest the fact that McMahon got it is fine by me. Just a shame he didn't kimura lock him really.

There's a dream match that no one ever mentions: Brock vs Vader. Couldn't happen now of course, but when Vader was still wrecking people in Japan in early 2000s and Brock was coming up, it could've. |

I bet he talked about f5ing Vince at the Hunter Club that he is president of (while smoking a Cigar and wearing a flatcap) before discussing his long day of breaking bulls necks with his bare hands, eating their meat and drinking their souls.

I LOVED THE HOPPING. Especially right after he F5'd Vince. It was like his own little victory dance. Loved it. I think the hopping was the best part. The segment really sealed the deal for me and I am now a HUGE Brock fan. I'll be crushed when he leaves again. |

Have loved Brock since his debut. It's like someone plucked a caveman from the mists of time and said "go wrestle."
