I like him now, I liked him in 2003, I like Lesnar in general. Do I think he movespams? Yes. Do I think he's the definition of a part-timer? Yes. But both of those things are exactly what gives me that MMA legitimacy to a Lesnar match. When you put Brock in the ring with an AJ, you get these hard-hitting old school matches that remind me of some of my favorite feuds in WCW. Lesnar is a consummate businessman, and the stories of him outside the ring only enhance the solitary, gruff persona that he's groomed so well in recent years. It hearkens back to eras of yore, reminding me of the tough guys that originally fascinated me in this business. There was a point in this recent, long title reign where I understood people's complaints. Despite Lesnar being a part of some really enjoyable matches in this current run, he slowed the storytelling pace to a lethargic crawl thanks to his occasional appearance schedule. But at Wrestlemania, I really turned a corner on Lesnar. His match with Roman, in hindsight, enraptured me. The man broke convention with the traditional Mania main event, and instead of a coronation, we witnessed a murder. Roman can't hang with Lesnar. Hell, nobody can hang with Lesnar. And I'm okay with that. Sometimes, in MMA, a champ is just to for above the rest of the pack. They're money fighters with a cold, business-like acumen. Fighters like Lesnar cash their checks and leave until the next big money fight, and until someone is positioned as a draw with whom they can make money, they kick back and wait. That's Lesnar, and I have absolutely no problem with him. As a younger wrestler, Lesnar had an air of legitimacy to him, but he also was one of the most impressive rookies I've ever seen in the ring. Had he chosen to stay in WWE longer, the landscape would have been greatly altered. So many of his feuds felt important and necessary. I tuned into Smackdown to follow the Lesnar experience back then. In some respects, I do the same now. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:902368450] in Scarlet Ra...
