Lesnar shocked the WFC Universe with his massive debut performance versus the immortal one.

## THE COMMENTARY DESK REACTION

(The referee counts three, and the bell rings. The sharp-tongued promoter slithers into the ring, hoisting Brock Lesnar’s hand in victory as the crowd stares in disbelief.)

JIM ROSS: “Good God almighty! The corporate matrix has just been shattered in Philadelphia! Hulk Hogan has been broken in half! I have never in my entire life seen a human being handle the Immortal with that level of raw, unadulterated power!”

JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER: (Stuttering, completely pale) “JR… I… I don’t believe what I just saw. I thought this kid was a lamb being led to the slaughter! I thought Hogan was going to give him a safe, standard veteran showcase. Lesnar just tossed a Top 10 fighter around like he was a featherweight! This wasn’t a practice match, this was an execution!”

JOE ROGAN: “I told you, King! I told you to look at his core with your Gyo! You didn’t listen! That kid didn’t leak a single drop of residual energy because he is a completely different species of athlete. The Rock is looking for Stone Cold, but the entire WFC roster better look out for this man. His name is Brock Lesnar, and he is officially The Next Big Thing!”
