QUESTION - Is Brock Lesnar still capable of being as big as The Rock or Steve Austin?

My initial gut reaction is 'no', but the way the fans have been popping Lesnar lately makes me wonder. Lesnar reminds me of a modern day version of Stone Cold, in that, he acts like a malicious asshole and gets popped huge.

The way Lesnar thrashed Michael Cole, the camera man, and the RAW announce team was also very reminscient of Austin/Shamrock/old-school Kane.
And of course, Lesnar defied a McMahon as well.

Austin absolutely dominated the WWE from 1998-2001, and with Lesnar's new 3 year contract, I'm wondering if Lesnar can have a similar impact?

The combination of Lesnar and Heyman is almost perfect in every way imaginable (I.e. Size, talent, charisma, entertainment value, etc.).

While Lesnar severely dislikes being on the road, he's also a business man. Lesnar knows that the crowd is digging him big time, and that more appearances would likely equate to more money for Brock, and higher ratings for the WWE.

Lesnar and Heyman vs. The Authority could be what's best for business, and could be the vehicle needed for the WWE in terms of getting back to "Attitude Era" levels of interest.
