I almost forgot to do this and I haven't much time since I need to update the spreadsheet and whatnot before leaving at 4:55. Still need to pack so I'll make it quick. Brock is looking at an 8-9. He was pushed to the moon and was awesome. Mic skills weren't bad and just had the look. I do remember a botch or two though so he can't be perfect. I feel like I'm rushing this but oh well.

Steamboat up to trade 11th and 12th with Flair. Seems fitting in a way.

10, easily. Naturally athletic and an extensive wrestling background. Would have been one of the best ever in pro wrestling had he stayed in it. Would have been Austin/Rock/Hogan/Goldberg big IMO.

Cock.

But seriously, 9. If he could have talked well, he would be an easy 10. But other than that, he was a wrestling machine who was also a monster, and could both combine those traits and work them separately at different times. That's not something that can be pulled off by anyone. He was amazing in the ring, and even his relatively quick push didn't feel forced.

Without a manager (never mind an amazing one like Heyman), I fear that Lesnar wouldn't have made it as far as he did, all because he couldn't talk. I think he would have gotten a huge push, but I don't think he would have been set up to be the top star of the company like he was.

And that's why managers are important to the WWE. They miss out on so much great talent because they think they should be able to talk amazingly on the mic.

I went with an 8, mainly because he wasnt a brilliant talker and he wasn't around that long. Guy was a fucking beast though, incredible performer.

this

7 the guy was good in the ring no dout but his lack of mic skills and roid monkey look lower his score in my eyes.

Brock was an incredible athlete, whose only real flaws were his mic skills and a lack of passion for the business. The former prevented him from being the total package and possibly being one of those names of legend, but I don't hold the latter against him.

All in all, he's a 9. If he'd spent more time in WWE, he might have improved his mic skills, but we'll never know.

Definetly an 8 good monster heel but he never really cut it when it came to promos maybe in time he would have gotten better though and we may never know.

8.5.... rounded down to an 8..... they guy literally could have been the "next big thing" if he stayed around..... I'm confident in saying that Lesnar would have gotten the real "Franchise player" push instead of Cena.....

7...the guy lacked any mic skills whatsoever, his best gimmick was with Heyman as his mouthpiece and he ended up being about the dollar in the end. Overshadows his athletic ability and wrestling prowess. Lacked some fundamentals from the pro wrestling aspect, was noted as being very stiff at times and known to botch high spots in a match from time to time.

7....points deducted for fcking off to play football, if he stuck around for few more years he'd be gold and the fact he wasn't a good talker.

I give him an eight and that's being very generous. He was a very sloppy wrestler who got people hurt on a number of occasions. He also ruined one of the most hyped dream matches of all time with Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX.

Gave Him A 7 Great Athlete. But There Is No Entertainment Value For Him.
