#2 He's a part-timer
Eat. Sleep. Disappear. Repeat. By now we're all too familiar with Brock Lesnar's way of life when it comes to working for WWE. It is, in fact, this very pattern that has turned a good majority of fans against him. For 504 days, Brock Lesnar was WWE's Universal Champion.
And for more than 400 of those days we never saw him. Lesnar didn't work most house shows, he didn't do things like fan meet and greets, and it was a rare occasion to see him even bother to show up on Monday Night RAW.
This meant not only was the brand's top championship not being defended, but it also wasn't even being SEEN. When comparing Lesnar's first Universal Title Reign to the 434-day record reign of CM Punk, that he would eventually break, the differences are stunning.
During his reign, Punk defended his title 141 times against 13 men. This included Pay-Per-Views, RAW, SmackDown, and house shows. Punk was a constant presence both in and out of the ring. He made all the appearances, all the meet and greets, all the shows, even when injured Punk was still there. By stark contrast, in 504 days Brock Lesnar defended his title 10 times against 4 men.
The top champion of each brand should be present every week, and not just at TV tapings. He should be present at house shows, charity events, fan meet and greets, and wherever else WWE needs him to be. It's part of the job - a part that every other champion has fulfilled, some to the point of severe injury.
If you want the bigger paycheck that comes with being the champion, you have to be prepared to fill a bigger role, it's just that simple. Unless you're Brock Lesnar and you, as Vince McMahon himself said, "have certain privileges" that you've "earned".
