Lesnar didn't use weapons. Ambrose did. Ambrose still got his ass kicked. Ambrose could have used the barb wire bat then hit a big spot to barely pull out the win. Ambrose looks like a rockstar even though he used weapons, and Lesnar still looks like a monster for requiring such measures to defeat him.
I understand the need to keep Lesnar's mystique intact, but you don't need to have him beat everyone to do that. Making him unbeatable until his last appearance is not only lazy, but a waste of his talent. Why make one guy at the end of his run when you can make several throughout.
You have to be careful when you do it, and utilize good planning, but it absolutely can be done.
