5 Reasons why All Elite Wrestling shouldn't pursue Brock Lesnar

# 2 He's only half the act (no Paul Heyman)

Paul Heyman is just as important to Brock Lesnar as Lesnar is to Heyman.

How many times have we all seen Paul Heyman appear on Raw to sell a Lesnar feud because Lesnar isn't scheduled to appear or because WWE doesn't want to use up one of his valued 'dates' he has on his cushy contract?

The fact is, without Paul Heyman, Lesnar is just a muscle-bound bully who jumps around a lot and glares menacingly at people. Heyman gets you truly invested in the feud because if he didn't, fans would have already rioted at the fact that Lesnar has held Raw hostage as a severely part-time champion.

The Advocate for the Beast is so valuable to WWE because of this reason - he's one of the best mic workers of all time. Even though he's had to basically rehash a lot of the same jargon for the last few feuds, he at least can put a slightly different spin on his spiel each time.

Lesnar may break the bones and cash the checks, but the voice behind the act is arguably just as or even more important than the Beast himself. Although runs with Curtis Axel and Ryback didn't necessarily work for Heyman, they weren't exactly main-event caliber talents who would be carrying the WWE in the future.

Had he been paired with Cesaro longer, we might have had more of a look into just how valuable to WWE he is, but that partnership was cut short. Simply put, AEW might shell out all they can and want to for Brock Lesnar, but it won't be nearly as good as his WWE run because he will come without Paul Heyman.
