There are few people in the whole wide world with a presence like Brock Lesnar. It’s been 12 years since we saw him the very first time and he hasn’t changed one bit. He is one dependable superstar who can sell being a beast. In his first stint with the WWE from 2002- 2004, he was remembered as 'The next Big Thing'. This time from 2012, he has become 'The Big Thing'.Royal Rumble not only saw him in his best performance since returning in 2012, he had the audience in the palm of his hands.Here the 5 cool things he did in that match:
#5 You can\'t see me
None of John Cena’s iconic moves could work their charm with a hardcore audience in Philadelphia. He was facing someone whose manager is hands down the most favorite person in Philadelphia. ECW roots there.
John Cena laid Rollins out in the ring and began following his shtick. He looked at the audience willfully, knowing what he was going to get from them, and then waving his palm at himself saying – You Can’t see me. Rollins tried what CM Punk used to do and tried to hit Cena on the face but couldn’t. Then came Lesnar rampaging behind Cena and German Suplexed him.
Talk about getting a taste of your own medicine.
#4 The TV Monitor
This is a PPV, so the Spanish Announce table has to be destroyed. And destroyed it was. But the build up to it was spectacular.
Rollins jumped onto Lesnar from the top rope. What did Lesnar do? He caught Rollins in mid air and gave him a beautiful F-5. That wasn’t it. He then walked towards the Spanish announce table in a very composed manner and put one television monitor pretty carefully on the floor. I repeat, he just put it out there, did not throw that- very uncharacteristic of any WWE superstar. And just as we were looking into that little detail, he took the other television monitor and flung it with great gutso onto the stairs.
That’s one little moment and he made that look awesome as well.
#3 Going through the barricade
Lesnar took three AAs and one curb stomp and yet he kicked out and was standing and walking outside the ring while his opponent lay there inside the ring. He was a bit dazed and the spotlight was all on him and his strength and stamina and them Cena just rammed into him through the barricade. That was a crash for the ages. Lesnar was tamed for a minute or two.
Ofcourse, he got back up. Only to be put down again...
#2 Going through the Spanish Announce Table
If going through the barricade wasn’t enough for a part time superstar, here he was being pushed towards stairs and then he placed himself on the unfortunate announce table. That led Rollins to bring the mark out moment of the night. Rollins took a huge leap of faith and jumped onto Lesnar and then bounced off after the thump that broke the announce table and apparently one of Lesnar’s rib.
That was incredible.
#1 Getting back up
Of course, we knew Lesnar was getting back up. Of course, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with his rib. And Lesnar came back with style and amplified the already high rate of excitement. He German suplexed, F-5ed, pinned and retained his championship.
It was spectacular. It was breathtaking. It bolstered the already high energy in the arena, in the hardcore fanbase.
Lesnar beating up people can never get old. NEVER.
