Steve Austin Explains Why Brock Lesnar Is His Pick For Wrestler Of The Decade
Steve Austin says Brock Lesnar‘s impact and “it factor” are two big reasons why he’s arguably the best pro wrestler of the last decade.
Austin was on the State Of Combat podcast to promote his new interview show called “The Broken Skull Sessions” which launches on WWE Network this Sunday. Austin was asked about who he’d pick for the wrestler of the last ten years, and Austin explained why Lesnar would be “the guy.”
“With Brock, you can say ‘part-time’ or this or whatever, but when Brock goes to the ring, I still get a sense of danger or I sense that I don’t really know what he is going to do,” Austin said. “How often does he go to Suplex City? How bad did he really hurt somebody? What’s he going to do to this opponent or what is he going to do to dismantle him?”
“Brock Lesnar creates more questions in my mind than anybody else who has walked into the ring for the last 10 years, no question in my mind,” Austin said. “Cena is up there with the top of the top, but moving past that, Brock Lesnar, when he walks into an arena or steps into an Octagon, you always wonder what’s going to happen with that guy. He might not be around as much as many people would like, but as far as impact and pure ‘I have to watch this match’ factor, it’s hard to say a guy other than him.”
