#4 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar, the Beast Incarnate
Brock Lesnar, the Beast Incarnate

Titles Held: WWE Championship, WWE Universal Championship, IWGP Championship. Also held the UFC World heavyweight championship.

Biggest career moment: Becoming the youngest WWE champion in history; Enjoying the longest title reign in modern pro wrestling history.

Issues on the microphone: Lesnar's soft-spoken voice does not match his juggernaut physique; Often seems like he doesn't take his script seriously.

Brock Lesnar was a former collegiate wrestling standout and all-American. Lesnar has made a career out of defying people's expectations. For one, when he was not offered a wrestling scholarship to a big conference college, he joined a junior college and worked his way up to elite status.

For another, Dana White was very trepidatious about signing Brock to a UFC contract, but we all know how that turned out, with Lesnar being one of the most dominant champions their heavyweight division has ever known, and a big draw besides.

One man who didn't underestimate Brock was Vince McMahon. Lesnar was given a monster push right out of the gate, winning the Royal Rumble and challenging--and defeating--the Rock for the title.

Lesnar's main issues are his husky yet soft voice, which is difficult to understand at times, and his tendency to laugh and go off script. It is for these reasons that Paul Heyman is his mouthpiece.
