You people are ridiculous. Essentially what has happened in this thread is Slyfox went in early for Lesnar and people are too scared to be upstaged that they've gone with it. In what realm of anything is Austin a worse wrestler than Brock Lesnar? He's certainly drawn more. He's certainly more decorated. He's certainly not better.
Look, Lesnar looks dominant because wrestles people on their way up and on their way out mostly. His feud with Punk was the beginning of the end. Triple H? Already done for all intents and purposes. The Rock? Same story. Rollins and Reigns are clearly on their way up and if John Cena's loss to Bryan was past his prime, then better beleive that his losses to Lesnar were. Not to mention the fact he beat Lesnar in 2012, way closer to his prime.
Lesnar's record against wrestlers at the top of their game is far less stellar - Angle, Guerrero, Goldberg and Big Show?! Have all had the beating of him. A lot of those wins may have involved shenanigans but fuck me, he's facing the king of the attitude era. Look, I don't want Austin to win the tournament again either, but I see really no other option here.
