It's no surprise that Brock Lesnar fit's Vince McMahon's idea of the idea WWE Superstar. Brock has the size and the physical presence that Vince loves not to mention the added advantage of having a ton of actual talent unlike other failed big men before him.

One big reason Vince refuses to stop pushing Brock is the sheer fact that Vince loves Brock Lesnar. Jim Ross told the story of the first meeting between Vince McMahon and Lesnar some time ago and that just shows how Vince saw Lesnar, even when he was just a rookie:

"It was the first time Vince McMahon physically laid eyes on Brock Lesnar. Brock came to the event. We were recruiting him. He was our number one target and we got him. We got our guy.
I remember Vince walking out of his office and down [the hall] and I said, 'Brock Lesnar is here' and I had to refresh his memory about who that was. No face, no name - Vince didn't know.
And so, I said, 'he's standing out here' and when Vince walked by, he gave him a little wave. He saw, 'wait a minute, is that what I think it is? Is that 6'3", 280 [lbs.]? Is that blonde hair? Looks like an angry Viking or a heifer bull. So Vince made a little detour, shook Brock's hand, the rest, as they say, is history."
