Brock Lesnar has wrestled some of the amazing matches since returning as ‘Cowboy Brock.’ Even critics and fans praised The Beast Incarnate for his performance. He is really enjoying his work and so the fans are enjoying his current run. However, a 61-year wrestling legend says Lesnar’s current wrestling style won’t work anymore. 

Recently, on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the wrestling legend took shots at Brock Lesnar’s current WWE wrestling style. He opined ‘The Conqueror’s explosive style of matches won’t work like it used to work. He recalled Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley to talk about this.

Cornette said, “So they [WWE] start out with Brock and Lashley. My God, what are we doing? And Lashley jumpstarts it because he’s the offended party from last time as I recall, and he hurts Brock’s leg to give Brock something to sell and it’s an all big move match.” 

The podcast host called this match a Paul Heyman blueprint. There will be two spears through the barricade and then Lesnar a couple of German Suplex. Further, The Beast tries to end the match early with an F-5.

He added, “Nobody’s gonna grab a headlock, there’s gonna be no hip toss [or] arm drag. But with these guys, there shouldn’t be. Unfortunately, I think the bad thing is because this kind of match works, they’re overdoing it to the point where it’s eventually not going to work as well. (H/T TJR Wrestling)

Moreover, Cornette talked about how there will not be any headlock or arm drag. However, he addressed this type of match which Lesnar often has is similar every time, and said, “they’re overdoing it.” Lashley does his post thing where he runs the post while he’s over his shoulders and goes for a Spear. Brock foils it, Bobby hits a Spinebuster, and gets the Hurt Lock.

The wrestling legend praised Lesnar for selling the Hurt Lock. He said, “And the thing that Brock showed here in this match is that he can sell his a** off and he will when it’s called for. Because he was not only selling that leg like a champ earlier, but he sells the Hurt Lock. And it’s believable, you know, there was emotion to this.”

Cornette said, “But nevertheless that they were doing good and I was like in the match it is two big f*cking monsters and then all of a sudden [it’s over]. That was kind of a letdown, I wrote really?? with two question marks on my notes.”

The match ended when Lesnar cunningly used Lashley’s Hurt Lock on him for a pin. Even though the 10-time world champion won the match, the 2-time WWE Champion attacked him badly.
