Can anyone beat Brock Lesnar?

5 - Shinsuke Nakamura

Nak n Roll

Brock and the current NXT champion, Shinny Nak have faced each other before, in 2006 over at New Japan Pro Wrestling. But that was over 10 years ago. Brock has gotten older, but he’s also mainstreamed his fighting technique to “just destroy everything, now,” while Shinsuke is seemingly strapped to the ratings of How To Get Away With Murder (the answer is “Be Brock Lesnar,” probably).

Nakamura is in no way a large man, but he has the arms of Ash from Evil Dead, The will of a Green Lantern, legs like Jagger, and the unpredictability of a small child whose diet consists only of Mountain Dew and sugar cubes. He is also of royalty, being a King and all. His court is Strong Style and he rules it with shaky English and charisma that can’t be contained. And knees to the face. All the knees to the face. King Nak could do it.

Only thing is, when they squared off in Japan, Brock won. Have the tables shifted? I don’t know, but I wanna watch what happens when Shinsuke gets another shot.
