Size, strength, agility, and overall athleticism. Dominate in college, WWE, and UFC.

Hint: there is no one.

Wow what a mark.

First off none of those things are actually wrestling ability your talking about wrestling and you haven't listed the ability to actually wrestle. If you were judging by his current run in WWE he would not be the Best Pro Wrestler as he isn't currently wrestling at all.

I don't remember him being dominant in the UFC, as for his first WWE run from 2002-2004 yeah the guy is a BEAST.

I'm pretty sure strength, speed, and agility are required for pro wrestling. Also, I'm pretty sure NCAA is wrestling, and Brock Lesnar was NCAA champion in 2001. Who is better than Brock Lesnar?

He isn't an all round good wrestler.

Sure, he's got the powerhouse brute game down to a tee, but wrestling is only a fraction of being a wrestler. Give me a top notch Brock Lesnar promo and I'll agree with you, but you won't find one.

I like the guy but half the Attitude Era guys have him beat by a mile.

If we put our heads together we can name 50+ men who are better.

Somebody lock this thread before the poor guy gets rapes.

Promo wise, Brock Lesnar by himself obviously wasn't the greatest, but that's why people like Paul Heyman are employed. How many other superstars have had success in sports outside of the WWE? There is no denying Brock's athleticism.

It would be debatable.

What success did Lesnar have, he got gift wrapped a title shot and got his ass beat every fight after that, not to mention got cut from NFL trials.

He beat Frank Mir, Shane Carwin, Randy Couture, and Heath Herring. Not to mention, he also became the UFC champion. If that is not success, what is? Based on your logic, he was unsuccessful due to losses from overeem and cain.

Ron Simmons played in the NFL, does that mean he's one of the GOATS?

And this means..........

The guy in your avatar has been gifted a title shot recently.

And don't even talk about Lesnar post-surgery. He didn't have the guts to remain in MMA for a reason, because that saying was actually literal.

If he didn't lose a foot of intestine, he would've still been one of the top HWs in the UFC, mainly because that division is terrible and he has a huge name and would've been handed title shots more than Randy couture.

Anyways, being legit and pro-wrestling are two different ends of the spectrum. If we based it all on that. Danny Hodge would be the greatest and we could even throw in Sakuraba in that conversation.
