The perfect build?

By Scott Keith on 11 April 2016

Hi Scott,

Just watching the Brock Lesnar collection on the network and it’s amazing looking back on his dominant beginning: mauls everyone, smashes both Hardys, won the King of the Ring when it was still fairly relevant, beats Flair, bearhugs Hogan to victory (with the smear off blood across the chest for emphasis), beats The Rock for the title at the right time – decisively – and has an all round great and strong 2002. Unknown to monster to champion in 6 months

What an introduction and build, eh? Why don’t they do this anymore? Obviously he’s an incredible athlete and a freak of nature but this seems so straightforward and easy?!

​The point now is to sell the brand, not the wrestler, so everyone is 50/50 forever unless you’re a star from the Attitude Era already. Or Brock Lesnar. Either way, Roman Reigns is about the most aggressive push they’ve done in many years, and even that was pretty half-assed. ​
