Creepy Old Man
Championship Contender
Okay, so his style has changed. He's older and not as agile, and his gimmick is now that of a fighter who destroys people in the ring. Does it make for great content, though?
His match with Cena at Extreme Rules 2012 was a great, bloody brawl that was a whole lot of fun. The new style worked on that night. All three of his matches with Triple H I thought were snooze fests that played out to silence from the crowd. Their cage match at Extreme Rules 2013 was the best of the three, but still nothing to write home about.
His match against Punk at SummerSlam 2013 was an instant classic. It was the closest thing to traditional pro wrestling Brock's done since his return, and it also incorporated his trademark brutality. The Big Show match at Royal Rumble this year was pitiful, but apparently that was due to an injury for Show, so I won't crap on it too much.
His recent matches against Undertaker and Cena were mediocre at best, in my opinion. Sure, the swerve results in both were compelling, but as matches they didn't stand up. The 'Taker bout played to silence, and finally the crowd rebelled at SummerSlam with a blatant "boring" chant. There's a difference between a good match and a weak match with a memorable ending.
Overall I don't think Lesnar's performances have been satisfactory. Do you?
