Joe getting the best of The Beast

The rivalry between The Samoan Submission Machine and The Beast may have been a short one, but it succeeded in doing what it set out to do and made Joe a star.

The month-long build that geared towards their battle at Great Balls of Fire was packed with jaw-dropping moments. Joe showed no fear going after Lesnar, and even got the better of the Universal Champion several times over. The promo segments between the two men often ended in brawls that played to their strengths of being two big guys determined to be the best.

One of the more interesting notes about this feud was Lesnar's involvement. He seemed really into his program with Joe, even going as far to speak for himself on occasion instead of relying on Paul Heyman.

Their match at Great Balls of Fire was explosive. Joe did a brilliant job of beating down Lesnar, and the attack before the bell rang really showed his ferocity. Lesnar sold the mugging like a champ, and despite Joe not winning the title, he showed that he is more than capable of being the next beast in WWE.
