LESSSSSNARRR.
I'm a Punk fan, but it takes quite a bit of suspension of disbelief to think Punk could even remain standing within like ninety seconds with Brock, much less beat him.
This is of course wrestling, and a show, so kayfabe wise one can buy Punk pulling off a victory; it's just for whatever reason tonight's segment really hammered home Punk being a regular dude in really good shape, standing next to a legitimate freak of nature.
I guess in a larger sense it's indicative of the fact that EVERY Brock match now requires a ton of suspension of disbelief to think really anyone on the roster could hang with him.

To be fair, there are very few wrestlers that look like Lesnar. He is THICK.

I like the idea of Punk outsmarting Lesnar. It could be good if Lesnar is just looking for some fight and fights fair, but Punk fights dirty. The crowd wouldn't mind. Neither would I. Something like Indiana Jones vs. the German Mechanic. But I don't know where Punk is going to get an airplane.

I hate the extent to which Brock sold for him.

I like Punk well enough, but I want Brock to wreck him. I think that eventually Brock is going to be cheered due solely to his destruction of people.

I hate the extent to which Brock sold for him. It would have been fine, if Punk didn't stroll what seemed like halfway across the arena to get a chair. Seriously, Punk is a cocky bastard if he had his back turned for that long.

I hate the extent to which Brock sold for him. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but... He cracked him in the head with a large television camera.

I hate the extent to which Brock sold for him. You know, I've always found Brock to be a good seller, especially for his size. He could no-sell like crazy but, in his first WWE run, he sells a lot. He may have been a bit overboard here, though, even with the camera.

I think that's why every week they've been having Punk get a ton of shots in on Brock, to try and convince us that he isn't just going to get snapped like a twig at Summerslam.
It's not really working, IMO, but then I've never been able to take Punk seriously.

Seeing Brock so close live at Mania, I was blown away at just how HUGE and ripped the guy is.
Nobody is going to look big next to him.

Eh, there's only like four people in the company at the moment that physically look like they could hang with Lesnar, one of those being Sheamus who's out with an injury.

I guess I overstated Punk's being smaller to a degree, cuz it's not just a size thing; cuz hell I'd be hard pressed to think that say Sheamus wouldn't be taken down and just beaten unmercifully in seconds.

I find y'all saying BRRRRRRROOOOOCK LESSSSSSSNAR just unacceptable. You can't just say it "Brock Lesnar" like that shit doesn't deserve fourteen R's and twenty S's.

I cackle with delight all through each of Brock's matches. Living vicariously as an unforgiving bully is great. Anyway, this match is a good ol' wrestling story. Punk is supposed to look like a chump coming in. That's the draw. Punk's gonna "prove all the naysayers wrong" again!

Shouldn't this be the case with everyone who has ever wrestled Big Show? Big Show sells for everyone. Big Show sells for Rey Mysterio. f*** it, Big Show would probably sell for me.
