5 Reasons why Brock Lesnar should be the face of SmackDown Live on FOX

#4. Legitimacy

No one in WWE can compare to Brock Lesnar's credibility as a fighter

Pro wrestling has always had its detractors who don’t like the product because they don’t find it realistic. The fighting style that WWE airs does not tend to look like a real fight, and particularly with MMA’s rise in popularity, fans can readily find a legitimate sport with many of the same trappings of wrestling.

Brock Lesnar bridges the gap between UFC and WWE like no one else. He has been a top performer and a top draw for both brands.

Indeed as a number of critics have cited, including Edge on E and C’s Pod of Awesomeness, Lesnar matches in WWE feel different for a sense of danger, and the threat he could "shoot" on someone. And if Lesnar were to shoot, who could hope to stop him?

As WWE offers a more sports-oriented product and seeks to draw in fans who are on the fence about sports entertainment in general, Lesnar is the perfect star to feature on FOX.
