#3 Brock Lesnar
Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock were on their way out. WWE needed the ‘next big thing’. And so NCAA Champion Brock Lesnar was recruited and quickly made his way through the ranks. Lesnar vanquished everyone in his path from Flair to Hogan, and ultimately defeated The Rock at Summerslam 2002 to become Undisputed Champion.
Of course, since then Lesnar has gone on to do remarkable things both in WWE and outside. He’s a former UFC Champion and still wrestles the occasional match for WWE. But Lesnar has been very vocal about the fact that he does not particularly care for sports entertainment and does it merely for the money.
We wonder now as we did then, was it the right move to put the belt on The Beast Incarnate considering he quit the company shortly after.
