In the Stone Cold podcast, VKM said something to the effect of... 'Lesnar is a sports spectacle, when he is on the card, you know it's gonna something big.'
That's why Lesnar has the WWE title and he only has a limited amount of TV/PPV appearances on his schedule.
So... that makes me wonder. Is Brock Lesnar a modern Andre The Giant?
I got to see Andre The Giant in Huntington, WV. when I was around 4-5 years old. I really don't remember much about it, other than my dad holding me up the whole time. Both of my parents tell me that Andre got a bigger ovation than Hogan did.
Lesnar had some of the highest UFC PPV buy rates and highest ticket prices in their history. The Hogan vs. Andre main event at WM 3, at the time, was the largest indoor attendance record in history with 93,173 people in the Silver Dome.
Andre never was the actual WWF champion. I never understood VKM's logic on that one. Hogan might have been on top of the world, but it's a shame to think that Andre never wore the strap.
Is Lesnar gonna be as remembered as Andre.... IMO, I don't think so.
Is Lesnar as big of an attraction as Andre.... IMO, I don't think so.
Does Lesnar have the 'Star Power' like Andre had... Maybe.
Is Lesnar the closest thing we have to Andre.... IMO, Yes.
