An entity bigger than lifeOne small question to start off with. Who is Brock Lesnar? A one-word answer would be a wrestler. But is that okay? Does this answer satisfy a hardcore WWE fan? A big NO!To someone watching WWE for a long time, this wrestler is no common wrestler. Is that a paradox? Not really. Brock Lesnar is portrayed as an entity that is bigger than life. It is some force that can conquer the dead, the alive, the big, the small, the invincible and anything under the sun.We have seen many great wrestlers like The Rock, Triple H, Stone Cold, Hogan, The Undertaker and John Cena, but none of them was portrayed this way.The treatment that WWE is rendering towards Brock Lesnar is something that the company has never and obviously will never render to any other wrestler. All of this was okay.Let them do whatever they want to improve their viewership and generate revenue. But does he deserve all this? Just think for a second. Lesnar has never compromised on anything and has not really done much for the company.It was the company that always goes in search of talent, but you expect some loyalty from your employees. Don’t you?As part of this slideshow, let us look at 3 reasons why Brock Lesnar doesn’t deserve a Hall of Fame induction-P.s: This is the personal opinion of the writer.
#3 Never was flexible
WWE was happy to have Lesnar sign a contract with them. It’s already known that the deal is worth millions of dollars.
Lesnar is ultra talented and he deserves every penny of that deal amounts to. But is WWE getting the return proportional to the investment? How many matches does he compete in a year?
I don’t deny this as there are instances where Undertaker had competed only once in a year at WrestleMania but still got a lucrative amount.
The only difference is that Undertaker is flexible with the bookings. You can break his 21-0 streak, you can ask him to team up with Bryan and Kane, you can ask him to fight Wyatt, you can ask him to die and, do anything and everything.
When Lesnar isn’t really flexible and can’t help the company during a moment of crisis, how does he deserve something huge in the future?
#2 No contribution towards upbringing talent
Have a look at the opponents Brock Lesnar faced in this calendar year. Big Show, Undertaker, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have all been victims to the dominance of the Beast. He would never ever compete against a mid-carder, let’s say someone like a Neville or a Kevin Owens.
He has never contributed towards upbringing the talent in the company. All his booking decisions will be huge and he never will compromise on that. Forget about this. Have you ever seen Brock Lesnar competing on RAW in the last 1-2 years?
He is a PPV specialist. He appears once or at the most twice in the span of 3-4 months and immediately goes into oblivion for the time to follow.
Put all of this aside, do you ever recollect seeing Brock Lesnar in a tag team match in the recent time? The only way you can see him is either to cut a promo with Heyman or to fight a big opponent. Tag team action? Don’t even expect regular action from him, let alone tag team action.
There is a concept called “Passing the Torch”. As a huge entity in the company, he has an inherent responsibility to carve out some good talent before he leaves the business. When you fail to do so, you automatically don’t live up to the trust bestowed upon you.
#1 Not so loyal
WWE is not the only organisation in the wrestling business. There are many other promotions around the globe that offer a huge competition to WWE. So, there is this so-called factor, “Loyalty” that comes into the picture when recruiting some young talent.
Unfortunately, Brock Lesnar is not very loyal. He has worked for the WWE earlier in 2002 and later worked for several other promotions. He worked for New Japan Pro Wrestling (2005-07), UFC (2008-11) and again returned to WWE in 2012.
Lesnar wants to grow and that’s why he travels around the globe and pursues what is best for him. We never deny his aspirations or his thought process.
Think about this now. You give everything to him and he finally leaves the company. Does it really make sense?
