Brock Lesnar is a larger-than-life figure in the WWE ring due to his booking in the company. Perhaps no other superstar has created utter destruction like him in the history of the company. Undoubtedly, he is the one to dominate the squared circle ever since returning in 2012. The presence of Paul Heyman by his side helped him a lot, too.
Brock Lesnar is a beast who has a devastating F5 finishing move that usually signals the end of a match. However, a WWE official isn’t willing to consider the same as he has found some faults in the move.
While speaking on the latest episode of ‘Monday Mailbag,’ former WWE referee Mike Chioda was asked whether he liked a high-impact finishing move or a submission move. Chioda answered saying that he loved any maneuver that is impactful. He then added specifically mentioned Brock Lesnar’s F5 is a move that obviously presents a lot of impact for the crowd but it does have a flaw in it.
Chioda pointed out the reason by saying the F5 doesn’t look as impactful when performed on larger wrestlers such as The Undertaker or Kane. When Brock Lesnar hits this move on smaller names then it seems like it would crush them.

But in comparison, larger wrestlers could land on the mat with a minimum impact. So it seems they can kick out of the move. However, most of them don’t as they have to sell the move, anyway.
“Yeah, I mean, the F5 move is definitely an impactful move. It depends on who he is going to hit it on. Brock used to hit it on like if he hit it on The Undertaker or Kane, or big guys like that, it didn’t look so, it didn’t look like a very impact move. No disrespect to Brock Lesnar, no whatsoever, but I thought, but when he did it to a smaller guy, it looked like it would crush them. And it depends on how the other guy would take the bump off of a finisher, but I was more of a high impact guy.”

Brock Lesnar has not been present on WWE television since WrestleMania 36 Night II where he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. There’s no update when the biggest box office attraction will be making his return to the company. Lesnar isn’t under a WWE contract right now although he’s expected to be back in time for WrestleMania 37. These days, he has grown a beard that makes him almost unrecognizable.
