I love Lesnar because he's not shy about why he's there. Dwayne Johnson, however, keeps feeding us the same bullcrap and expecting us to swallow it. I seriously don't get why this is such a shared opinion. Rock doesn't need WWE. He came back for the fans and was scripted to win the WWE title. Not because he wanted it. Brock we've seen 4 or 5 times on TV. Why's he back? Because he failed at everything else he tried and wants the money. He was champion in the UFC, yep def failed |

Lesnar is, but he didn't fail at UFC. |

I must have been watching a different UFC then because the Lesnar I saw kicked Frank Mir's ass all over town and would have still been kicking ass had he not gotten sick. |

An over exaggeration, yes, but it's deflecting from my original point.
Why does he get all the love while The Rock gets nothing but stick?

great news. Brock in WWE is good for business regardless of how many appearances he makes. WWE needs to build him up a bit. And have him take out Cena for good!

I could honestly care less. I don't miss him when he isn't around.

The different between Brock and the Rock is that they booked Brock HORRIBLY. When he made his return, I honestly thought he totally made Cena look like a total piece of trash that could be waded up and thrown away. Then they took the whole "I'm Brock Lesnar, I'm just here for money... and if I don't get it I'll pout and leave again" approach and killed every bit of interest I had in him.
This isn't the same Brock Lesnar that dominated everyone and everything 10 years ago. This Brock Lesnar has been tainted with tons of money and an "I'm only doing this because I have no other way to make a ton of cash" chip on his shoulder. That's just my opinion though... so yeah.

If true, I am legit getting sick to death of guys showing up part-time. Wrestling ain't f****** part-time, the season runs 52 weeks a year. Rock and Brock and Triple H and Undertaker all headlining PPVs when they appear 3 times in a whole year, getting annoying now. F*** off already (no disrespect lol).
And Brock Lesnar is a dick. Rock > Brock.

Why wouldn't he? Get paid large sums of money to do next to nothing.

Brock we've seen 4 or 5 times on TV. Why's he back? Because he failed at everything else he tried and wants the money. Its a shared opinion because nobody can say Rock returned for the money, because he clearly didn't. Maybe The Rock honestly did return for the fans? Maybe he took a long look at his legacy after he 'turned' on the business and decided its something he wanted to do as a personal goal? Maybe it wasn't influenced by money, movie promotions and main events. Perhaps his mothers illness which he spoke of last night truly did inspire him? Hell, maybe he just gave the Tooth-Fairy a watch and realized he needed a drastic career change?! Just because he constantly makes reference to these reasons in his promo's does not mean there is no truth in them. He did return for the people, for the sake of pulling people in. The ratings speak for themselves. Whatever the case may be, as a massive CM Punk fan I have contrasting emotions about last nights finish, but after watching Punk rise to fame throughout the youth focused PG era, I commend WWE for managing to produce a true 'win-win' scenario for many fans of my age group. In comparison to Lesnar though, Lesnar can shamelessly walk in and out of the WWE all he wants because unlike Rocky we aren't supposed to like him. The man is a machine, people know how legitimately tough the guy is. He is also a damn good worker on his day. With that being said, its probably best that Lesnar doesn't show up every week. He is a very different person with a very different reputation as opposed to his first run, if you look at the way he was booked in 2012 he made WWE's poster boy look dangerously weak, less than a month after Cena had been built as the personification of what the modern era is all about. If Lesnar stuck around and did that every week, he would bury half the roster, and suddenly the 'Push this guy' trends return. Also you can never underestimate Paul Heyman's ability on screen. He managed to build Triple H Vs Lesnar almost single-handedly for over a month. |

He's not trying to turn you or convince you. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK Also, I would say Lesnar is the ball dropper, Not the WWE. I'm sure they'd love him fulltime. And I wouldn't say he failed after he left WWE, but he got cut from the NFL and his UFC career kinda went downhill after he won the title and those guys figured out how to beat him. |

Lesnar will not work full time. Wasn't it the travel schedule that scared him off the first time? I think as far as Brock may be concerned he has no where to go but down in the wwe unless he is the champ. As stated we all know how much of a badass Lesnar is IRL, I don't think he wants to be put in situations where he may end up looking weak

Great news. People will bitch that he's only around for a few feuds a year, but the guy is still a huge star and can draw. We better get Taker vs. Lesnar next year if they don't do it this year at Mania.

I remember when Hogan won the WWF title in 1993, he didn't even have a match til June and only had couple promos on RAW leading up.
So doesn't surprise me WWE put the title on the Rock...also wouldn't surprise me if they do the same with Lesnar. It's just good business. I like CM Punk and all, he added credibility to the title, but with WM season coming up, WWE is all about making money...Rock/Cena 2 - like it or not (mostly IWC not liking it) will generate buys.

Oh man, if the internet and IWC existed back in 93, people would've rioted at WM 9 when Hogan came down and beat Yoko.
