Brock Lesnar is WWE 2K17's cover star. We'll refrain from making disparaging remarks because he could probably kill us with his little finger, but we have got to commentate on the sword that's tattooed on his torso, resting between his rock-like pectorals like Excalibur in Arthurian legend. Judging by the box art, he also appears to be powered by lightning like a real-life Raiden or something.
Anyway, there's a trailer below introducing the beefcake brawler. We suspect that wrestling fans will buy the title like they do every year, then subsequently take to the Internet to complain about how inevitably shite it all is. You'll be able to grapple with the game from 11th October in Europe and North America. Will you be getting to grips with this year's edition?

You can never be too careful with Bork, Sammy. He'll find you.
Suplex City!!!!
I personally think it's a shame to see a part time wrestler marketing the game because I think it's a missed opportunity not to put someone like Reigns or Ambrose on the cover to give WWE publicity instead.
@Batman His biceps are bigger than my entire body.
Ah yes, Brock Lesnar. The lovechild of an angry white rhinoceros and the abstract concept of punching.
Too macho for me.
@SPGFan34 Brock is a better choice then Reigns especially with his suspension now. Thing is though Brock is a money maker wherever he goes.
Still haven't played 2K16.
@Tasuki yeah I can understand why, Brock is there most popular wrestler. It would be good to give a small push to some fresher talent though, part time wrestlers won't be around for ever.
@SPGFan34 first he is the most public known wrestler to non wwe fans this day . Also most MMA fans dont care for fake drama of wwe but there hopping he will bring some over and second he just came out of a very long down time of not fighting to destroy his opponent in his MMA fight at 200 so WWE are smart there using the most famous fighter at this moment on the planet . So funny how in press confrence he was talking about his amazing fight then he is doing the wwe even next thats insane to go from the real most brutal fighting on the planet in sports to the most fake drama and acting in wwe its crazy this guy can do anything unlike most fake wrestlers he is a real beast and a great fighter
@SPGFan34 I don't fully agree with what SPGFan34 said, but they were wise to go with Brock over Reigns or Ambrose. Reigns is too divisive even disregarding his current suspension, and as JBL keeps saying, Ambrose face scares children. Brock on the other hand is a big money fighter - spanning MMA as well as WWE. It coincides with his match at Summerslam and his recent return to UFC. I don't think it matters he isn't a full time fixture in WWE - after all the Undertaker is still one of the most recognisable and biggest names in wrestling and he's wrestled about five matches in as many years.
