Brock from WM 30 to summerslam where he squashed cena all the way up to his final feud with carder was the strongest booked wrestler ever, just dismantling every historical stronghold
>>18512341 (OP)
Yes. He took Beeg's punch without getting knocked out, broke Taker's streak, no sold 3 Attitude Adjustments in a row and squashed Super Cena

Yeah bro, you can cut a promo in the middle of the match and that will give you the pin.
This isn't about who is the biggest draw, only who was booked as the strongest. Lesnar could never be the face of the company that Hogan was, but when it comes to powerlevel he has him and everybody else beat

Its close but beating Andre doesn't compare to beating a 21-0, 21 years long streak or squashing your company's biggest star with 16 german suplexes and complete domination. Having won the UFC WHC championship just added more to Lesnar's aura, its too bad he wasn't used like this when he first returned.
>>18514634 >Hogan
First person EVER to slam and beat Andre the giant in front of 93,000 hulkamaniacs >brock
Beat carder in a match no one remembers apart from the finish then squashes cena and proceeds to have a back and forth competitive match with him one month later.
Easy win for the Hulkster

Don't be so sure. Andre was 7'5'' and 520 pounds, undefeated for 10 years and had never been slammed in kayfabe. Pretty sure that slam might've caused seismic activity in kayfabe lol
>>18514634 >its too bad he wasn't used like this when he first returned.
They had to make sure he was willing to do business first. After it became clear he would the strong booking started. Ultimately it didn't matter once he started getting the God booking.

Kicking out of the AA means nothing. The AA is a buried finisher that can't even put down D-listers like Truth. It does less kayfabe damage than most wrestlers' midmatch signature moves.

Feels like I see finisher kickouts more often these days. In kayfabe did the wrestlers get tougher despite being much smaller and less masculine or did finishers get weaker?
