WWE: Brock Lesnar’s six best career matches
1. vs. Daniel Bryan
I will argue until the end of time that this was the best booked/produced match of Brock Lesnar’s career. Probably. I mean, I do like to change my mind a lot and, quite frankly, something better could come around as soon as tomorrow, but for now at least, I think that this is the best wrestling match of The Beast’s entire career.
Why is that, you may be wondering? Well, for starters, the drama is thicker in the air than most Lesnar matches. It helps to know about Daniel Bryan’s unfortunate history of injuries beforehand, but there is an uncomfortableness in the air for about a five minute period as Brock is just straight wailing on him and flopping the poor guy around.
Despite the fact that Bryan had just turned heel days before, the whole crowd were on his side, whether they were in distraught awe in watching him pummeled or cheering on the edge of their seats as the then-WWE Champion mounted a comeback.
This match could not have been booked more perfectly and even on repeat viewing, the feverishly intense emotions that dominated the match resurface as if you’re watching it for the first time all over again. Both men give fantastic performances and should be proud to call this some of either man’s best work.
