Well, Brock has a very solid background and, of course, just by looking at him you know he's not a regular guy. He also didn't start at his late 30s.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
But Lesnar had a real background of an actual translatable skill and beastly athleticism and a lot of the criticism was just because Lesnar was a fake-fight wrasslin' man.
Punk legitimately has no translatable skills or any kind of remarkable athleticism. He's a just a random 35+ year old dude who got a contract with the biggest MMA company in the world for basically carny reasons.

Brock's a freak. You need Steiner math to explain him.

"Was Bischoff behind this the whole time?" "Bischoff screws Vince again!"

Not quite there since he can't talk at main event level yet and needs more seasoning, but there is one:
Big Poppa Pump should be the SD GM

Without any context I always assumed the Just Bleed guy was Pete Holmes doing a sketch or something

Are Pete Holmes and Dave Lang related?

If they make Creed 2, Brock should be the bad guy.
I bet he could be a great Rocky villain.

Ha! If you thought Roman always looked tired BEFORE just wait till he ends up in a UFC bout.
Is 32 considered old?
But Creed isn't a heavyweight.

Man, H vs. D-Bry at 30 was super dope.

I remember reading these guys who are in the front all the time basically get the tickets that don't sell or something like that. I can't remember how it goes. But the travelling all over is just too much imo.

He said credible, e.g. people who have never been either pinned or NTR'd by Dolph Ziggler.

He's already in the middle of being rebuilt; just have him beat John Cena clean (cena pass-out in the camel clutch) and that'll do it.
...of course if Rusev is going to lose to ryder tonight forget that lol

He's gained weight since then.People who could look credible beating Brock?
Then there's only one way to solve this. Ziggs should sign a contract with the UFC and defeat Cain Velasquez, this way both Rusev AND Corbin will become legit opponents to Bork.
People who could look credible beating Brock?
I dunno, Sami Zayn could replace Bryan as the ultimate underdog, but he's still a bit green to look credible beating Brock.
Yes, that guy with absolutely no fighting or wrestling background would definitely not get beaten in seconds.
People who could look credible beating Brock?
Cool match probably... but credible?
Braun Strowman would probbaly look credible but have an awful match.
waits for Royal Rumble shoot gifs
edit: for real who would stand up to Brock in a shoot fight?
Kane
Big Show
Mark Henry
Rusev?
Titus?
Ryback?
edit: I would like to see Brock face some hoss guys from back in the day. Hercules, Barbarian, Dino Bravo, Rock Steiner, Haku, Vader etc.

also he'd have to get tested by usada lol.
actually that could make for a good wwf crowd sign

I thought about him too, but it'd take a few months to make E credible because of the comedy stuff.

It's sad to see how far Bruan Strowman has fallen. Dude should've been facing Brock at Mania.

Only after MASSIVE character work. Current yelling and dancing E should never last more than 10 seconds versus Lesnar.
Jimmy King

I don't see why Big E would need "massive work" to put him into a feud with Lesnar. Just have a segment where New Day and Paul Heyman get into a promo war, have Paul say something that cuts deep, and then Big E shifts into serious mode. Boom, done.
That would be a short match

Maybe Del Rio?

At this point it'd take a complete repackage to save the guy from sinking with the rest of the Wyatt gimmick. They're enhancement talent built to be scary, who are big and can bump but they are just there to put folks over as "strong" because they technically all have a "monster" sort of character. In general, its not so much the wrestlers as their gimmick is now whats become enhancement booking to put folks against.
I dream of them putting a silent masked monster gimmick on Strowman. Its how they saved Kane from all his squashed gimmicks. Not like you have to be too damned technical to put over moves like chokeslams and tombstones, and the ability to no sell a finish by sitting up.
Sir_Crocodile

because it takes more then that for a lot of people to take him seriously. At the least I'd want him to win clean in a serious feud with a top guy - a cena, aj or rollins.
I was going to say Del Rio but age and he has a lot of wear. Also when he did MMA he wasn't that amazing from what I've seen.

Jimmy, never tell anyone outside of the family what you're thinking, again.
People took Cena seriously even when he was still doing his goofy white rapper bit
