#6 Brock Lesnar

Enter — This "part-timer" is worthy of the privilege.

There is and will forever be those who criticize Superstars who don't work a full-time schedule. Fans hated it when The Rock did it, Goldberg got away with it a little bit and throughout time, there have been a few others who work lighter schedules, yet get top spots. The bottom line remains, there is simply a place for this unique type of talent.

Brock Lesnar is a main-event attraction. His name on any card will pretty much guarantee a sellout. In other words, Brock Lesnar equals money. When you have someone who can demand such a response, you have to be thankful to even have the guy on your payroll at all. Brock could easily drift off into retirement, or even jump back into MMA and forget all about the wrestling world. Lesnar is one that at this moment, it's worth negotiating with.

In 2017 Brock Lesnar continued his Suplex City Tour, making stops in towns all across America and defending his WWE Universal Championship at the occasional pay-per-view event. With the Goldberg feud behind him, Brock went back to his dominant winning ways, making sure that the Universal Title is not only the top title in the company but the most secure one at that.
