If you have watched RAW
and Smackdown the past couple of weeks, you have seen a huge man enter the ring
with a tattoo down his spine and Paul Heyman at his side. He has destroyed
everyone who has crossed his path and raised the eyebrows of many wrestling
fans. This man goes by the name, Brock Lesnar. Who is Brock Lesnar?
He is a massive and athletic human being who could very well be the next
Superstar in the world of wrestling.
Everyone has been salivating at the idea of seeing Bill Goldberg in the WWF.
Well, with Brock Lesnar, you get an upgraded version of Goldberg. Lesnar will
make a bigger impact on wrestling than Goldberg could ever dream of making.
He is not only bigger and stronger than Goldberg, but he also possesses far
better wrestling skills than Goldberg. When you witnessed Brock Lesnar enter the
ring and destroy Spike Dudley on RAW, you witnessed the debut of a future WWF
Champion. The question now remains whether or not the WWF will use him properly.
When Bill Goldberg debuted in WCW, the writers pushed him to the moon. Some
people say the push Goldberg received so early in his career, caused him to get
a big head and it basically destroyed his pro wrestling career.
How should the WWF writers push Brock Lesnar? The writers did a good job of
debuting Lesnar. They have already portrayed him as a vicious threat to other
wrestlers and someone who can hurt you without breaking a sweat. Now, they must
take things at a slow pace.
Start Lesnar out in the Hardcore division as I stated in a previous column a
last month. After he captures the Hardcore title and decimates the entire
division, move him up to the IC title race. Make him work his way through the
entire roster until he attacks the World title contenders.
Lesnar should go on an undefeated streak like Goldberg did in WCW, except do it
in a more subtle way. Do not have the play-by-play analysts drive the undefeated
streak down the throats of the fans every week. Let Lesnar do his thing for
several months. When he reaches the level of The Rock, Stone Cold, Kane, The
Undertaker, Triple H, etc., then start informing the fans of his undefeated
streak.
The future of wrestling depends on men such as Brock Lesnar. He is a young and
talented wrestler who is a fresh new
face for the fans to watch. Wrestling fans love to see a fresh face come into
the business and make an impact quickly.
They start pulling for the impressive young star and they want to tune in to the
wrestling shows every week to see how their young star will perform. It’s just
like a rookie in pro football or pro basketball. Fans followed him during his
college years, and now they get to watch him showcase his talents in the big
leagues. They want to see their favorite athlete make it all the way to the
Championship game and win the big one.
The same thing applies to wrestlers. If a wrestler has the right look and
performs well in front of the crowd, the fans will begin to cheer him. Brock
Lesnar is the young star the fans can get behind and watch him take his career
all the way to the Championship.
It will take some time, but he will be there one day. Just like The Rock, Stone
Cold, The Undertaker, and Triple H, Brock Lesnar must pay his dues and work his
way up to the Championship ranks. It will be exciting to watch Lesnar make that
climb. The possibilities are endless at this point.
