And the chair shot came from Jeff Hardy - who’d have thought little Jeff could swing a chair like that? Matt’s follow-up chair shot wasn’t far behind in the race for “hardest chair shot of the week” either... and Lesnar bailed out of the ring and landed on his feet. On his FEET. Now, people, I don’t know much, but I do know that ain’t right.
That’s tough. That’s scary tough. That’s possibly insane tough, but who knows? Lesnar is THE most exciting prospect I’ve seen since a certain Olympic Gold medalist debuted against Shawn Stasiak in 1999. He’s also one of the highlights of the WWF TV week, because of the man they call Paul E. Heyman.
Giving Lesnar a manager that can speak for him, and one as incendiary as Heyman, is a masterstroke. Heyman’s promo on Raw was one of the finest in months. He put over Brock Lesnar. He put over how bad he is, how tough he is, and did it in a style that someone like, say, Stephanie McMahon could never have done. Lesnar will benefit from Heyman’s influence, and when the time comes to turn face and speak for himself, having Heyman to rebel against makes it that little bit easier.
Hopefully, Heyman will be building a stable, an agency if you will, of all the new talent that the WWF supposedly has ready to come through - Randy Orton, Ron Waterman, even someone like D-Lo or Tommy Dreamer would be a good addition. But whoever Heyman ends up guiding, Brock Lesnar will be the crown jewel in Heyman’s crown.
