5 WWE stars and their interesting comments on Brock Lesnar's F-5

Brock lesnar
The Beast has laid waste to many WWE superstars

If there ever was one wrestler that put the fear into not only his opponents but also in the millions of fans watching either live or on television, it has to be Brock Lesnar.

Ever since The Beast debuted in a WWE ring in 2002 as The Next Big Thing, Lesnar has ripped the wrestling apple cart and ensured, at least from the early 2000s, that he would be one of the most talked about athletes in the squared circle.

The South Dakota born star always had a liking for physical sports as during his college days wrestling and football were his two passions.

Lesnar is a two-time NCAA All-American and finished his college career with an incredible 106-5 record.

Of course, all this would mean squat if he couldn't back it up in the ring, and boy, Lesnar is still one of most brutal stars in the WWE. His move set is all about raw power and apart from taking his opponents to Suplex City, his devastating finisher is something that almost everyone has an opinion about.

The F-5 is a rating on the Fujita scale to rate the destruction of a tornado and the WWE certainly named the finisher perfectly. Lesnar's ability to lift every single one of his opponents and twist them around before dropping them down made them look like a sack of potatoes.

While we are still in awe of the destruction The Beast brings to the ring on a regular basis, here are some current and former WWE superstars who spoke out about Lesnar's F5.


#5 Jerry Lawler

The King is one of those most experienced wrestlers in the WWE and has spent a lot of years not only being the champion in the ring but also commentating on almost every single Superstar that we may know off.

The former champion hasn't faced the brunt of an F-5 yet but that didn't stop him from adding his little snippet on how destructive the move really is.

While speaking on a WWE documentary about the 50 greatest finishing moves, The King said:

"It was scary to watch and I know even more scary to feel!"

The King should be happy that he is one of a handful of people not to have faced the wrath of The Beast. If he did, we would never have heard the end of it but it would have been a little funny to actually listen to what he felt the F-5 is all about.

For now, we should just be glad The King didn't get pummelled by The Beast.

#4 Mick Foley

The Hardcore Legend is another WWE superstar who has been through it all, possibly a lot more than The King, in the squared circle.

The former champion will be remembered for a couple of incredible moments such as falling off the top of the steel cage against The Undertaker during the 1998 King of the Ring and that No DQ match against Edge at WrestleMania 22 when he got speared through a burning table.

Foley might have been the man with the Mandible Claw but even he was impressed by the sheer athleticism of Lesnar as he would pick up and throw opponents for fun.

"Just needed those huge broad shoulders like Brock did with timing, the athleticism, and he put them all together and came up with something devastating."

'Devastating' certainly is the perfect word picked out by Foley as the WWE has not seen a finisher such as Lesnar's till date.

#3 Wade Barrett

The winner of the first season of NXT, Wade Barrett had a pretty good run in the WWE picking up the Intercontinental Championship five times and winning the 2015 King of the Ring.

"Bad News Barrett", as he was known during his stint in the promotion, is another star who didn't face the wrath of Lesnar but the Englishman had his say about how impressive "The Beast" was when dealing with the bigger men.

"My thought perhaps, a limitation of the move, might be once you came up against some of the bigger superstars that you might struggle to pull it off as effectively, but to be honest with you, he hit guys like The Big Show."

Barrett gave the perfect ending to his thoughts on Lesnar's F-5 and said, "There was no limits to that move", and we have to agree with that statement.

#2 CM Punk

Phil Brooks, or CM Punk as we know him in the squared circle, is one star that every WWE fan wants to see a return of and his clash against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam in 2013 was billed as "The Beast vs The Best in the World".

The background of the clash had Paul Heyman play a huge part as he cost Punk the Money in the Bank ladder match as his "best friend" attacked him.

Lesnar then took Punk to town in the upcoming weeks before clashing in a No DQ match at the pay-per-view, which The Straight Edge Superstar lost.

Punk faced the brunt of the F-5 as he took it on a steel chair and the former WWE superstar was in awe of the sheer poetry of the move.

"Brock Lesnar's F-5 was a hold that managed to be devastating but almost graceful at the same time."

#1 John Cena

The 16-time world champion might have recently lost at the hands of Shinsuke Nakamura but Cena has achieved almost everything you can achieve in the WWE ring.

"The Champ" has faced "The Beast" a number of times and even though he does have a few wins under his belt, the squash at SummerSlam 2014 is best remembered as Lesnar took Cena out with 16 suplexes and a couple of F-5s.

Cena did have the appropriate comment for the finishing move of The Beast and it feels he kind of foretold what was to come.

"You have to be extremely extremely strong and athletic to pull it off cos not only do you have to pick a guy up, but you have to pick a guy up and throw him like a human pizza."

Well, at least Cena now knows what it feels like to be tossed around like a pizza by "The Beast", and well, that match will be remembered by all for a long, long time.
