‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin was recently a guest on the State of Combat podcast with Brian Cambell. During the interview, Austin was asked who he thinks is the most important pro-wrestler of the past decade.
Austin ended up choosing Brock Lesnar, who he argues is “The Guy”.
Here is what Austin had to say.
“With Brock, you can say ‘part-time’ or this or whatever, but when Brock goes to the ring, I still get a sense of danger or I sense that I don’t really know what he is going to do. How often does he go to Suplex City? How bad did he really hurt somebody? What’s he going to do to this opponent or what is he going to do to dismantle him?”
“Brock Lesnar creates more questions in my mind than anybody else who has walked into the ring for the last 10 years, no question in my mind. Cena is up there with the top of the top, but moving past that, Brock Lesnar, when he walks into an arena or steps into an Octagon, you always wonder what’s going to happen with that guy. He might not be around as much as many people would like, but as far as impact and pure ‘I have to watch this match’ factor, it’s hard to say a guy other than him.”
It is a pretty interesting question that will surely bring up a lot of names. Who do you guys think is the wrestler of the decade? Let me know in the comment section below.
