5 Reasons Brock Lesnar doesn't deserve all the hate, and 5 Reasons he does

#3 Doesn't Deserve the Hate: Brock has paid his dues in wrestling

Brock Lesnar a split second before he lands on his head during a botched shooting star press.

One of the most common arguments used by Brock Lesnar's pack of haters is that he hasn't 'earned' his spot with the company. Or that he doesn't 'deserve' his prominent place in the WWE hierarchy.

These days, Brock Lesnar wrestles a limited schedule, but back in the early 2000s, he was grinding his way through the developmental league of Ohio Valley Wrestling. Brock put his body on the line in brutal matches time and time again, always risking it all to entertain the fans.

Most famously, he botched a shooting star press during his Wrestlemania main event against Kurt Angle. Many other men would have just laid on the mat and let the match go to a no contest after such a potentially life-threatening accident, but Brock finished the match with an F5.

Brock Lesnar has paid his dues in pro wrestling, and fans should remember that.
