10 WWE Superstars and their NFL counterparts

Lawrence Taylor defeated Bam Bam Bigelow at WrestleMania 11

#8 Brock Lesnar – Marshawn Lynch

Lesnar gets his revenge on Goldberg at WrestleMania 33

In honour of Beast Mode’s return to the NFL, he’s made our list as the best possible comparison to the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

Aside from their Beast-based nicknames, these two operate in a very similar fashion. First of all, they both run straight through whoever they come across. If you watch any Seahawks (soon to be Raiders) game, you’ll see that Marshawn Lynch prefers to ignore anyone who is trying to stop him.

Lesnar does the same. Get in his way, and you’re sure to be eating a few dozen German suplexes in no time at all.

They’ve also both adopted a no-nonsense way of going about things. They both do most of their talking during the match/game, and won’t typically be found saying more than a handful of words outside of that setting.

Lynch has his trademark phrase “I’m just here, so I won’t get fined” speech, while the only words of note Lesnar has spoken in the past year have been to Heath Slater when he said, “I don’t give a s**t about your kids.”

They’re men of few words, but they get results. Lesnar is the current Universal champion, while Lynch is a surefire future Hall-of-Famer with a Super Bowl ring on top of it. Can’t argue with what works.
