#5 A ‘mercenary’ schedule
WWE Superstars take pride in the fact that they put their bodies on the line for our viewing pleasure, for up to 300 days in a year. And this has almost meshed into the delineating factor that defines a prototypical pro-wrestler – one of paying his/her dues.
Brock Lesnar and his monstrous frame, inspite of being the only man alive to be the NCAA, WWE and UFC Heavyweight Champion, does not fit into that description at all.
He comes and goes as he pleases, and has even publicly affirmed that his loyalties lie with the weight of the purse, rather than the thrill of pursuing his passion of performing for sold-out crowds week-in and week-out.
While all this works out well and good for a man that shuns the rigours of perennial travel and is has marketed himself into a brand that can still earn hefty sums of money while working limited dates, it hardly inspires good will from his colleagues or peers.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
