A list by Givemesport showcased the top 25 scariest athletes of all time. The list had the likes of Kobe Bryant, Brittney Griner, Mike Tyson and Brock Lesnar, to name a few. However, what might have come as a shock to some fans was Brock Lesnar’s ranking on the list.
The no.25 on the list was Brittney Griner, followed by Conrad Dobler, Wilt Chamberlain, Laila Ali, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan (not in order). WWE’s Beast Incarnate, however, was placed at No.2 on the list.
Brock Lesnar has always been a terrorizing force in WWE, destroying through talents like a power-force. Lesnar’s size has always been intimidating. His stint in the UFC showed his true strength and what he was capable of. His fighting style and sheer size, has always helped in instilling fear in his opponents.
Moreover, on the list, one expected name and ranking was Mike Tyson, and he belonged exactly where he was supposed to. ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson ranked No.1 on the list and he deserved every ounce.
Is Brock Lesnar set to return to WWE in 2023?
Brock Lesnar has always been one of the biggest attractions in WWE. However, Lesnar has always been a part-timer since his return almost a decade ago. Still, even being a part-timer, he has summited heights that many full-timers are only dreaming to achieve.
Unfortunately, with Triple H now in-charge of the creative, Lesnar’s return to WWE might seem tricky. Triple H’s recent work has earned him praise, and he has been utilizing the talents like they have never been utilized before. He brought back several previously released stars and is currently focusing on the full-timers.
