Brock Lesnar Getting Heat For Big Ego

 

The Next Big Thing is now The Big Thing...

 

Brock Lesnar has been getting some heat backstage recently for what many see as him having a big head already. Some excuse his behavior by saying he is young and hasn't learned how to deal with fame yet.

 

Interestingly enough, Lesnar has been very frustrated with his travel schedule and went as far as to buy a $400,000 plane. WWE is picking up his travel expenses and the salary for his pilot. The new plane will actually save WWE some $50,000 to $75,000 per year.

 

Lesnar was also a bit upset about having to lose the WWE Title to Eddie Guerrero before WrestleMania. Lesnar figured that had he been champion, his WMXX match with Goldberg would be positioned higher on the card and thus his payoff from the big gate would be bigger. Overall though, he was happy with how his match with Guerrero came off and is looking forward to his match with Goldberg.

The only thing that can stop Brock Lesnar from becoming a true force in the wrestling industry, is a possible huge ego.

[Guest Choken One]

Interesting how other reports say Brock has been a real general backstage.

 

How is his SAVING the Company MONEY getting him heat? Lot of atheletes have personal Planes.

 

How THICK is his contract that he can just go and buy a $400,000 personal plane?

[Guest JMA]

Bah. I don't buy the "big ego" thing. This is the same guy who didn't want to beat Mysterio in front of his family and friends.

As long as he doesn't make people cut their hair, it's all good.

I think it's the case of the WWE locker room being like high school. Don't shake Droz's hand? You have an attitude problem and need to be jobbed out. Don't shake the Undertaker's hand the minute you first get into the locker room? You have an ego problem and need to be jobbed out. Keep to yourself and don't talk much? You're a self center asshole. Etc. You get the point.

[Guest Choken One]

Has ANYONE ever actually NOT shook hands with Droz other then Chuck Palumbo and Sean O Haire?

 

what was there reasoning for that?

 

Chuck: I don't like people in wheelchairs, Man

Sean: Wheelchairs, they are merely a device for people who can't walk because they are too mentally weak. I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know.

 

Vince: Uh Huh...Velocity hell for you mr. Chuck after spending 6 months as a Homosexual with Billy Gunn and as for you Mr. O' Haire...welcome to being Roddy Piper's Sidekick.

Last time this happened around this time, he landed on his head.

 

But the guy put on a great match, so I don't get the heat.

[Guest Choken One]

I wonder if Brock will politic to get his Match a EVEN HIGHER billing...

 

I'm convinced it's the next to last match as it was...now i'm convinced.

 

If the higher your match is on the card Equals a bigger payoff...does that mean Owen made a crapload for WM8?

Could this lead to a million 'biz-exposing' no sells at WMXX with Billberg?

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

Speaking about not shaking hands I remember reading about something else that happened in the locker room involving O'Haire.

 

The story goes that when O'Haire first came into the locker room he meet and greeted alot of the guys 'cept for the Undertaker which made UT mad. Days later when O'Haire did decide to meet and greet UT, UT got pissed and told him to forget about it.

we already know that Brock is No-Selling the Spear and Kicking out of the Jackhammer a good 3-4 times (ala Warrior to Savage's Elbows)...

It's like how Silverman basically got fired for paying out of his pocket to upgrade to first class.

Wait a minute I thought Silverman quit cause of all the crap he was getting from the wrestlers about that.

Which is why I said he was basically fired over it. Everyone was treating him like shit over it. Who wouldn't expect him to quit.

Oh ok got you now. Yeah that was dumb. It was like it's against the law in WWE to flight 1st class even if you pay for it yourself. Hell I remember reading X-Pac even flew 1st class and it there's someone that doesn't belong there it's him.

Big ego or not the man did the right thing and did the job to Eddie, now that's what a professional is all about.

The point was, X-pac was INVITED to be in front class...Silverman put himself above the others in Coach and that was a direct slap to those in coach and those who worked to get the first class seats...

So let me get this right. Because Silverman paid for a 1st class ticket out of his OWN pocket it's somehow a slap to the face to the main eventers? Riigghhttt. Hey those people in coach could pay for a 1st class ticket themselves so I really don't see what the problem is.

Don't tell me you're actually trying to defend running someone out of a company because he paid for a first class ticket out of his own pcoket. You really think that would hold up in any other company in the world?

Most companies dont have the mindset of a 17 year old...

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

If Lesnar really is getting heat over this, it's total BS. Echoing the sentiments of almost everyone else, I've got to say that regardless of how Lesnar felt about jobbing to Eddie, he did it, and did it well. As humongous said, THAT'S what matters, that he acted professional about it. As for the plane, well, if he's getting heat for it, I wouldn't be surprised...but that's still BS, considering he's saving the company money.

 

And no shit Lesnar has a big ego. He was the youngest World Champ in history, he is one of the top draws of the biggest wrestling company in the world, and arguably one of its most entertaining stars. ANYONE in his position would have a big ego by now.

How much you wanna bet that Undertaker was pissed when Silverman came into 1st class.

 

*Billy Silverman walks into the 1st class area of the plane and is about to go to his seat when he is blocked by UT*

 

UT: What do you think you're doing here?

 

Silverman: Taking my seat I paid for a 1st class ticket.

 

UT(mad): YOU WHAT?

 

Silverman(scared): Uh, y-yes out of my own

 

UT: Let me tell you something boy. This here is my yard and my airplane and you'll respect my yard and my airplane and not come into 1st class because you aint a main eventer. And if you don't respect MY YARD and airplane I'll have to throw some soup bones at you. Those are what I call my punches.

But the thing I don't get is, it isn't a HUGE hurting ego. It's GOOD ego, that makes himself come off as more than just nothing.

 

Besides, I don't get what all the backstage heat is for. It's like anything this guy does nowadays gets him heat with the lockerroom.

 

I think all of the lockerroom are just starting to feel envy and jealousy that most of them will never be as great or as successful as Brock Lesnar is and can be. That's probably what's getting him the most heat. When he comes off as confident, it is looked upon as smug. They are looking to the extremes instead of seeing it as it is.

[Guest Eric the Eagle]

This isn't the mindset of the WWE.

 

It's the mindset of the wrestling world. Tradition and good manners say you respect the veterans, do as they say and don't speak out of turn. In this case, paying your way up to first class when it's tradition that only those who have earned it and the ones they invite (which, I guess, would explain X-Pac's presence) is a slap in the face to the ones who did earn it.

 

I'm not agreeing that this is how it should ideally be, but it's reality.

 

Now, I'm sure someone will point to wrestling organisations who do things differently, and in fact, I wrestle for one myself. But in wrestling, certain things are done certain ways.

Seems to be you need a big ego to survive in this sport. As long as it doesn't hurt your fellow athletes and interfere with the big picture (aHHHem), I see no problem with his voicing his opinions as to how his career is being affected.

 

All in all, I don't really buy a lot of these "reports" regarding the locker room jealousies and such. Most of the time they contradict each other week by week.

[Guest Anglesault]

The story goes that when O'Haire first came into the locker room he meet and greeted alot of the guys 'cept for the Undertaker which made UT mad. Days later when O'Haire did decide to meet and greet UT, UT got pissed and told him to forget about it.

If that's true, he deserved everything he got and more, just for being so god damned stupid.

Could this lead to a million 'biz-exposing' no sells at WMXX with Billberg?

He was selling as early as No Way Out, so I doubt it.

 

 

I do want to see them stiff each other to hell, though. If friggin' Jericho could bring him down with techincal wrestling, Brock should be able to tie him in knots.

I think Billbergs tantrums and bitch-behavior gives this match a decent chance at having some shoot-y moments. The Bearded One certainly could try pulling some bullshit...

 

Either way, it should be a very interesting match...it is one of the main reasons Im seriously considering watching this ppv.
