#3 Tom Prichard praises Brock Lesnar for his unpredictability

On a recent episode of the It's My Wrestling podcast, former WWE Tag Team Champion Tom Prichard called Brock Lesnar one of the most captivating performers in professional wrestling. He added that Lesnar's unpredictability and legitimate combat-sports background gave him an aura that few could match.

“The most legit guy in the business right now is Brock Lesnar in my opinion because you don't know, he is unpredictable, he's legit. Nobody really knows what to expect from him when he walks out, and that's what we want. That's what you need, I think we need more of that to come back,” said Prichard.
