Original Poster, clarify something for me:
When you say "beat for a majority" do you mean the likelihood of winning a first time encounter between these 2 is greater than 50% for Superman's opponent
or
that the opponent is ALWAYS more likely to beat Superman than not, regardless of his learning curve?
For instance, I would expect Rogue of the X-Men to beat Superman in a random first time encounter more likely than not. For if Superman has no prior experience with her, he won't know that Rogue can become stronger than he is with first contact and choose to debilitate him with the same touch. You'd expect her to have something like an 80% likelihood of taking him down if they're just randomly thrown together and randomly decide to fight FOR that first encounter.
On the other hand, AFTER losing to her that way the first time, Superman would know direct skin-to-skin contact should be avoided with her at all costs, do everything in his power to prevent a close quarters physical engagement with her, and more than likely succeed.
Contrast to, say, the Amazo of Dwayne McDuffie's Justice League of America #24. Superman lost to Amazo in their first fight. He lost in their second.
You get the impression he'd lose in a third, fourth, or fifth. That character just had Superman's number. Nothing you can lightly do to defeat Amazo no matter HOW much learn about the guy or how much fight experience you gain.
--------------------------------------------------
Anyway, when you say "beat for a majority" are you thinking
"likelihood of winning an initial, uninformed FIRST encounter is high"
or
"likely to beat Superman no matter HOW many times they fight"?
Respond, please.

Axel isn't a Paul E. Dangerous guy, they are just throwing that term around Joe Henning is a friend of the Rock, so yeah he will be the next Sheamus
Putting him and heyman together is like Mr Perfect and Bobby Henan reborn.
I really hope they make a stable with heymans guys. Could you see punk, Brock, and axel vs the shield? Now THAT would be amazing.

Dean is my favorite. His move just looks brutal and he's a fantastic worker with an original style. I feel like I'm looking into the future, this guy is going to be amazing. He just has "IT"
The Shield is also pretty awesome. Dean's the one who's most likely to go out and make it big on his own. But Seth Rollins's totally has the athletic ability to do the same.
Rollins is actually from a small city that's literally ten minutes away from my own. I actually went to a lot of the shows he competed in at local midwest wrestling shows before he moved on to Ring of Honor and then WWE.
thats pretty cool i was blown away to find that out about him they are all really good dean is def going to have a very good career i know they will run the angle where shield turns on him hes already doing his own thing with the us championship that whole group will do well dont b surprised at mania in about 2 or 3 yrs ambrose being in the spot light
