#3 Kofi Kingston
Current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has spoken about what a great wrestling mind Brock Lesnar has, and another former WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston, has also stated it. Kingston, who lost the title in seconds to Lesnar last year, played a key part in this year's men's Royal Rumble match and the story that Lesnar told at the Rumble.
While speaking to TalkSport, Kingston said that Brock Lesnar doesn't get credit for his wrestling mind, and said that his moment with Lesnar in the Royal Rumble gives him goosebumps when he talks about it:
“If Brock and I had more of a match at the debut of Smackdown on FOX, then the moment at the Rumble, people wouldn’t have gotten up as much as they did for it. It was great. It was a really big piece of a story having myself in there trying to fight. Then here comes my partner and now here comes Rey who had history with his son. I’m getting goosebumps just talking about it. It was a lot of great storytelling coming together.
You see Brock Lesnar on TV, you obviously see ‘The Beast’. You see a man who is physically daunting, physically dominating, but he has an awesome mind for the business, and I feel he’ll never get the credit he deserves for that.”
Brock Lesnar eventually eliminated Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Rey Mysterio, but the story of the three - who have all had history with Lesnar - coming together, made for great storytelling.
