In case you aren’t aware, Jim Ross signed Lesnar to a WWE contract in 2000. The following year, WWE signed Randy Orton. Speaking of them, Ross said that they showed all the semblance of the next great thing from the get-go. Thus, Ross booked them into the dark match and stated that he believed it was both of their greatest advantages to performing in front of an enormous crowd in order to teach them how to lose smoothly.
