Brock Lesnar is indeed one of the most influential names in the history of professional wrestling, and even at the age of 48, he is considered one of the biggest names in the wrestling world today. His ultimate success started from the very first day of joining the WWE main roster, and it is still continuing to this date.
He made his main roster debut on the RAW after WrestleMania X8 episode when a Hardcore Championship match was going on between Maven, Al Snow, and Spike Dudley. Suddenly, a mysterious man entered the ring and started beating down all three men who were involved in this match. The match had to be called off, too.

“It was easy for him to toss me around. I mean, he was a f***’ monster. I heard Paul [Heyman] say when they talk about Brock’s debut, like, they asked Brock, who do you wanna work with, and they picked me and Funaki as guys he wanted to work with, meaning that Brock understood that if I can make him look like a monster, it’s great.

“That was the only time I tapped out. Because he hits me with three powerbombs, it was supposed to be five. We said in the back, just do as many as you can, let’s go for five. But after the third one, I was just seeing stars, I couldn’t hold myself up anymore. And I was just like, that’s it brother.”
Brock Lesnar remained out of action for a couple of years before making his grand return at SummerSlam recently, where he attacked John Cena after the main event of the night, indicating a big match between the duo soon. It is pretty much clear that Lesnar will not retire too early.
