#2 Bill Apter feels that Brock Lesnar would've been a great fit in the '70s and '80s

During a recent appearance on UnSKripted, Bill Apter stated that Brock Lesnar would've been incredible in the '70s and '80s as a foil for stars such as Bruno Sammartino and Pedro Morales.

"Oh, I think, you know, when I talk about opponents for Bruno (Sammartino) and Pedro (Morales) and people like that, Brock Lesnar would be it. Man, Bruno Sammartino against Brock Lesnar would've been a dream match for me because back then the WWWF was made of these monsters. My God, Brock Lesnar would've been incredible back then. I would've loved to see him back then. Brock Lesnar against Billy Graham. I think he would've been this bully that people would've tried to stop. He would've been great in any territory back then," said Apter.

Due to his charisma and physical presence, Brock Lesnar would've been a great fit in any era.

#1 Dutch Mantell thinks that Paul Heyman could get involved in the Universal Championship match at Day 1

During the latest episode of Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell predicted a double turn with Paul Heyman helping Brock Lesnar dethrone Roman Reigns.

"I think we get Heyman involved. If Heyman is involved, Brock may be taking that title. I think they may be doing that double switch. They could, very easily. They have nobody. I mean, they have people but nobody built to that level. They spent so much time building Roman and Brock that nobody else can match their longevity or prestige. They've got nobody to fall to. You can't blame a creative team. You have to blame the guy in charge for that," said Mantell.

Reports indicate that Lesnar and Reigns will also square off in the main event of WrestleMania 38. A double turn at Day 1 could set up one final clash between the two megastars.
