Brock Lesnar was recently taking questions at a press conference. He had two things to say that interested me the most.
He said "Wrestling is not real" and "I am Brock Lesnar the UFC fighter."
He did not necessarily trash wrestling here, but let's face it, other than doing some press for WWE '12, he has not shown much love to the wrestling world over the past few years.
I think it is safe to say he would not be where he is now had it not been for his career in the WWE. Dana White would not have known who he was had Vince not put him front and center.
He would not have had a UFC title match so early in his career had he not already been a big name in the WWE first. These are fairly solid assumptions, I would say.
I like Brock Lesnar, he is a good athlete and has potential to be great someday, but I think he needs to pay respect where respect is due.
No one in WWE history had the short career he had and saw as much success. He held wins over every big name in the company at that time, something some of the guys who have been there for years can't say.
Obviously, we all know wrestling is scripted, but Brock was not calling anything fake when he was leaving the business because his body couldn't keep up with the insane damage it was taking.
If Brock wants to be known as a UFC fighter, then that is fine. It is what he does now and that is what we should call him, but it almost sounds as if he takes offense to being called a former wrestler.
I hope someday Brock can make a one-time return to WWE—I think it would be good television, but with the way he seems to see the business, I think that is becoming less and less likely as the years go on.
