4 Reasons Why Brock Lesnar is Bad For The WWE

#4 He isn't the draw he once was

Still The Beast?

The ultimate thing Lesnar always had going for him, physical prowess aside, was his ability to be a massive box office draw. His name on a card meant far higher sales, and as has been said many times over the years, putting butts in seats is a major attribute in a WWE Superstar. In recent years, however, his star has fallen greatly.

His name being advertised for one of his few & drastically far between appearances hasn't been enough to bring up RAW's fledgeling ratings. He hasn't had any effect on the number of empty seats in the arenas, and he certainly hasn't caused any upticks in WWE Network subscriptions.

His matches have become repetitive, monotonous bouts that are enough to put anyone to sleep. Gone are the flash and gravitas he once carried throughout his matches. Now, a few German Suplexes, a couple of F5's and a false finish or two and you've got yourself every Brock Lesnar match, save for triple threats where the other guys do 98% of the work, since about 2013.

His investment in a return to UFC has also meant less investment from WWE fans in him. This simply isn't the Brock Lesnar of old, it's merely the Brock Lesnar routine that's getting old.
