Paul Heyman was the owner of ECW, a rival of the then WWF (now WWE). ECW crumbled and WWF basically picked up the rights and all that jazz.
When Brock Lesnar entered the WWE, Paul Heyman was his manager. They became friends during their time together I believe. |  
Prince Charming.
When I watched wrestling, I hated that guy.

New Jack would totally wreck Lesnar.

He deserves it more than Mask. Not really sure how Coleman is in there either.

Considering the amount of new eyes Lesnar drew to the sport, the big time fights he was involved in and his massive success in such a short-time(title wins over Couture, Mir and Carwin), coupled with his crippling stomach issues that definately cut his career and ability short, I believe he's an HOFer, despite my stance that a UFC dictated HOF isn't totally credible.

Perhaps one could argue that anything that isn't standardized could be looked at as subjective especially when it comes to topics surrounding P4P, G.O.A.T, HOF.

You'd go on record to say that Lesnar had "massive" success with his 2 title defenses? He won a close fight with Mir where he found himself in trouble, and won a one-sided ass-kicking up until the 2nd round. Hell, even against Randy, was it such a great victory?
What Lesnar did in MMA is impressive, but to put him in the Hall of Fame? Come on. The guy had an 8 fight, 4 year (3 year in the UFC) career, almost landing on 50/50 in the process. Credit goes to him for being able to have the success he did with such little experience, but still...

That's enough to allow him into the HOF as far as I'm concerned.

Has any other HW in the UFC accomplished what Lesnar has in the period of time that he was there?
