I think initially Brock was just back for the money, as he agreed to lose to Cena and Hunter when he should not be losing to anyone on that roster. I also agree with ctorres that Lesnar may have gained more passion for WWE after beating Undertaker, a guy he seems to really respect. I think he does bring some prestige back to the title. It just really sucks that no one on the roster is currently on his level thanks to the awful booking that's been going on for years now

I would like to see a Brock/Orton feud with Randy as the face. He really needs a new character and that feud could make him more interesting. With Reigns and Bryan out they need more face characters so maybe Randy could fill that

Dean ambrose is the man. He oozes the "it factor" in that opening of raw.

He really did have a ton of natural charisma for a guy who wasn't one of the best cutting promos. Chris Benoit was like that too. Bret and HBK will always be the greatest to me


I feel like you and I are the same wrestling fan.

Bret and Shawn >>> Mr. Perfect >>>> everyone else

Eh?


In terms of pure wrestling, Henning is def one of the best ever. But Bret & Shawn > Rock & Austin > Angle > everyone else

I guess my top 5 would be:

1. Bret/Shawn (really both were so great and they were at their best against each other imo. As a Canadian I LOVED Bret growing up and hated Shawn. But as I got older I realized just how incredible Shawn truly was. Hell when I was a kid a I used to dream about beating up HBK and he was actually selling for me. Everything about these two I just loved: their look, their wrestling style.. I wish I could watch one more match with these two in their prime)

2. Rock - I **** loved him. I remember when he joined the Nation of Domination and cheered for him. Then he gradually grew into the Rock character and it was amazing to watch it evolve and see him become one of the best ever. He wasn't one of the best in the ring but he knew how to work a match. When you have that much charisma you don't need to be incredible in the ring

3. Austin - Man I hated this dude when he went in on Bret but that showed how awesome he was because he made it look so believable, going after maybe the biggest face in wrestling at the time. He had that IT factor and you had to watch him when he was on. 1996-98 Austin was his best. But even his weird heel turn was insanely entertaining. The neck injury hurt him but like the Rock, he could still put on great matches

4. Angle - dude was awesome in the ring and on the mic. He needs a proper send off so I hope he comes back to the WWE

5. I don't know who to put at this spot. Flair/Jericho/Benoit/Hall/Nash... I loved those 5 guys. I was never a big Undertaker fan, who most I assume would have in their top 5. Flair would probably be the #5 for me. He was just so entertaining

If Brock wasn't a part timer, you will complain about his limited move set and poor mic skills.

Damien Mizdow is too funny!! Lol he is the only reason why i like seeing The Miz fight lol

It sucks that Bray wasnt on Raw last night, i was hoping that he would attack someone important and get a huge pop from the crowd.

They should do a 6 man hell in the cell this year, that would be smart to do and the fans would love it. Lets take it back to the attitude days at Armageddon lol

The 6 can be:
Brock
Rollins
Orton
Ambrose
Cena
Bray or Cesaro

Stone Cold is the greatest ever to me. I was a little kid in MSG the Raw where he 1st stunned Mr. Mcmahon. He was even in my section in the crowd that night during 1 of his promos. The energy & experience changed my life.

My other 4 would be Undertaker, HBK, the Rock & Ric Flair. Brock Lesnar & Razor Ramon right outside the group.
