No gift of gab
For all of Brock Lesnar’s abilities, he has one glaring weakness that is pretty significant when it comes to professional wrestling: microphone skills. Simply put, he has trouble speaking in a compelling way or even partaking in “smack talk” with an opponent.
To account for that, Lesnar is always accompanied by manager Paul Heyman, but again, this limits what can be done with him within the story. He can’t really break from Heyman, and because Heyman is generally revered for his microphone skills, Lesnar always kinds of come off as a face or tweener, at worst. This isn’t a huge deal, but it often helps separate Lesnar’s stories from the rest of the roster’s work.
