People will criticize Vince McMahon’s decision to toss heaping gobs of money at Brock Lesnar to wrestle part-time and hold championships hostage. But no one can deny the monstrosity that is the Beast Incarnate. When Brock grabs you, he’s probably one of the few men in the company that can pretty do anything he wants to do with you.
When he returned to the company in 2013, he had a slightly different move set. Now it seems that all he does is just heave his opponents around the ring in an unending cycle of German Suplexes. But when you’re Brock, that’s really all you need. However, the Conqueror does have move devastating moves than just that one. Here are Brock Lesnar’s 10 Most Devastating Moves.
10 The F-5
Not only is Brock married to the former wife of Marc Mero, aka Sable, he always took the guy’s finisher. Seriously look at Mero’s TKO and Lesnar’s F-5, they’re very similar. There hasn’t been a superstar yet that Brock hasn’t muscled up over his shoulders. It’s such a simple move - get him up on your shoulders and then just launch them off. But when it’s Brock doing it, the F-5 looks almost as deadly as an actual tornado.
9 German Suplex
It’s the move that introduced the world to “Suplex City,” the release German Suplex. Hopefully it’s a move many of us will never have to endure. Have you ever fallen backwards or been tossed backwards by some sort of accident?
Imagine a wrestler doing that to you - and you don’t know where the mat is to land! Then the harsh realization that it’s Brock launching you into the stratosphere, and he’s just going to keep doing it.
8 Kimura Lock
“Go away and learn a new hold,” Good Ol’ JR likes to say. Thanks a lot Jim. Lesnar went away and dominated the UFC. He came back to WWE and showed off his new toy, the Kimura Lock.
For a while, Brock was content with breaking wrestlers' arms off. Everyone from John Cena to Triple H to Finn Bálor earlier this year. But why break a man’s arm off when you can break every bone in his body from heaving him around the ring
7 Shooting Star Press
It’s a move that he had done several times before when coming up in OVW. Naturally it was time to try and bring out the Shooting Star Press on the grandest stage. The mere notion of Brock Lesnar regularly using a Shooting Star Press (another thing he “borrowed” from Marc Mero) is downright terrifying.
It might be even scarier to know that he botched the move big time at WrestleMania XIX, and pretty much got right back up, after spearing his own head into the mat! If he ever is so crazy again to try this move, whoever he’s facing really should have their affairs in order.
6 Ground And Pound
Do you want a near three-hundred-pound man with giant meat hooks for hands just laying into you unmercifully? Neither does anyone else. While any WWE superstar using their fists is technically illegal, everyone seems to do it. It does take away from the believability of the business when there’s no blood.
But then Lesnar beats the snot out of Randy Orton and he bleeds a gusher, it’s a stark reminder of how bad Lesnar could hurt a guy.
5 Knees To The Chest
Hopefully, no one you know, or love will ever be mauled by a bear. They just kind of grab you and paw at you. That’s sort of what Lesnar looks like when he snatches you and starts covering your torso and bashing his knees into your midsection.
For anyone that has ever felt the pain of getting nailed in the stomach or upper chest, getting the wind knocked out of you stinks. Brock delivering repeated knee strikes would probably cause some internal bleeding.
4 Brock Lock
We all know Brock can pick just about anyone up and toss them around like a bean bag chair. But when about when he doesn’t release you? The Beast Incarnate used to utilize a nasty submission hold of his own making - the Brock Lock.
He’d toss your leg over his neck, and if you were a light enough opponent like an RVD or a Rey Mysterio he’d stand straight up and essentially out your leg in its own Human Torture Rack. If you were a bigger guy, instead of lifting you, he’d just sit down and wrench back on your leg.
3 Turnbuckle Spear
Getting speared is never fun. As a big move, it takes something out of both the guy delivering it and the person taking it. Then there’s guys like Brock Lesnar. Instead of launching himself into an opponent and then into the mat (because where’s the fun in that?!), he smashes his opponent into the turnbuckle again and again.
Just about every move in Brock’s arsenal is designed to take most of the wind right out of his opponents. But his Turnbuckle Spears have to the worst of the bunch.
2 Vertical Suplex
A Vertical Suplex can be delivered in a variety of ways. You can hold your opponent up for an indeterminate period of time before dropping them. You can do a quick snap Suplex to your foe, and some guys, like Brock and Eddie Guerrero have utilized Rolling Vertical Suplexes in the past.
Nowadays, if the Conqueror does deliver one, he tosses his opponent almost across the ring.
1 Standing Belly-To-Belly
We all know the physical specimen that Brock Lesnar is. A six-foot-three, 275-pound monster, who’s as strong as a gorilla. He’s one of the few wrestlers that’s country strong like Braun Strowman and gym strong like a John Cena.
That’s a dangerous combination for a supreme fighting machine. He has on occasion showed that strength off by delivering a standing belly-to-belly Suplex. He’d simply lob you over your head like you were a basketball. That’s just what any superstar wants, basically getting dropped on their head and neck from six feet plus in the air.
