I saw the very start of Brock's run when he was a monster on RAW. Heyman was his mouthpiece, and I never heard him say a word. Then the brand split, and he went to Smackdown, so I never saw him again on TV. Now I have seen some of his matches with Angle, and I think he is 10X better in the ring than Lashley, and 20X better than Batista. I still haven't heard him talk, but, based on ability for a big man, and the huge push they gave him, he might have been great. 8/10

I was watching his Here Comes the Pain DVD again yesterday and it's such a shame to see what the WWE lost when he had a hissy fit. The two years they had him for were incredible and he had so many great matches against people who sacrificed a lot to put him over. My gripes about his attitude aside, there's no way anyone can look at what he gave WWE and not be impressed. Freakishly powerful, incredibly agile and pretty damn talented in the ring, he had everything that a heavyweight champion is made of. Apart from the mic side of things anyway but in his case it didn't really matter, especially when he was with Heyman.
His move to Japan was a bit of a dud though. He didn't really have a great match (especially going up against guys like Giant Bernard/A-Train) and I'm not surprised that he didn't last long. I'm keen to see how he gets on in K1. I'd love to see a pro wrestler actually compete and not get decimated.
All things considered 8.5/10
