Lesnar was a fine wrestler.  Big, powerhouse, had technical skills, and wasnt' afraid to go to the top rope on occasion.  But the problem there was: He was pushed to far, too fast, and within a limited time accomplished so much that he got bored and left.

Lesnar from what I could gather never really wanted to be a pro wrestler, at least never seemed fully committed to it, despite being pushed to the moon ahead of more deserving wrestlers. He left when he couldn't get his own (he wanted lots of time off) way all the time. Plus he nearly killed himself and others a couple of time with dangerous moves he shouldn't have been doing and it was obvious his appeal was waning on fans by Wrestlemania XX. Slaughter is far more deserving of recognition here IMO as he always remained loyal and true to wrestling and worked much harder to get what he achieved.

I can see your point, and it's valid to a degree.  Especially about Slaughter.
I think with Lesnar is, and I don't know him personally, but he seems to be the kinda guy that STRIVES to succeed and get to the top.  Problem is, Vince gave him a big ass contract, pushed him to the moon in very little time cause he thought he could make big money off him.  ANd he did.  Problem is, Brock accomplished all he needed to: won every title multiple times, main evented pay-per-views, and had matches and feuds with all the top guys: Goldberg, Undertaker, Rock, Hogan, HHH, Booker T, RVD, Edge. 
Yeah, he wanted some time off, but I don't blame him to an extent.  Doing a schedule where you're on the road 300-340 days a year wears you down.  There was nothing left for him to accomplish.  What next? Bring out a feud with Funaki? A feud with Rico? That's a step down, not up.  I think the event with WrestleMania XX wasn't so much that his appeal was waning, but fans were p**sed that they helped him get to the top, and he p**sed on them and said "I wanna do football instead."  Then that bombed, and he went to UFC.  Ironically, those same fans who booed him at WrestleMania, are fans of his in UFC.

Not knocking Sarge, but he's been on the list a bit long, and I don't like him as much as I like a few others named on said list.
