See, this is why Brock Lesnar is my favorite guy ever. You'll never see him need the business, or wrestle at indy shows late into his years. So many "legends" have tarnished their legacies by doing this. Lesnar does whatever he wants for as long as he wants, dominates while doing it, then goes back home to his place in the woods and lives his life with his family. He doesn't get into "twitter wars" with other wrestlers and he sure as hell doesn't get bothered by what the internet says about him (Batista). You'll never see him beg to get on RAW (Piper), you'll never see him grovel at the feet of Vince (Mick Foley) or need to make a quick buck embarrassing himself on the WWE Network (Legends House cast). You'll never see him bitch and moan about how he was treated (Bret Hart). He's the 1 because he's the 1%er. He's not a slave to any job, or anyone. He's an athlete, he's a business man, and he puts himself no.1 He doesn't need anyone. He doesn't get attached to anything that isn't his. That is fing awesome. My utmost respect for Swarm prohibits me from defending the greatest wrestler of all-time, Bret Hart, like I ordinarily would... That being said, a very interesting point about Lesnar and not one that I considered.

Bret Hart Prime is one of my favorites too. That's why it sucks to see him become a grumpy old man. Do any of these guys have respect for the business? Hogan? Flair? They barely have respect for themselves it seems sometimes. Undertaker respects the business. Cena respects the business. Brock respects the business. Bryan Danielson respects the business. Who else? I don't think Roddy Piper begging to be on RAW every mania season or Mick Foley kissing the asses of anyone who will pay him is respecting the business. The Rock showing up out of shape and getting gassed out only a few minutes into the main event of WM is not showing respect for the business. That's how I see it.
You only see these kinds of pathetic endings in the entertainment industry. Musicians, comedians, actors, actresses, pro wrestlers (esp ones from the 80's) holding on for dear life forever it seems, and looking older, and more pathetic each year. But not Brock. Because he isn't an entertainer. He's an athlete. He's above it all, and that's what makes him successful.

LOVED THE ENTIRE SHOW.
Start to finish, it was my favorite show in as long as I can remember.
I was never bored and was into the whole thing. Won't go through every match as they all held my interest, but Ambrose-Rollins was phenomenal, and Brock's destruction of Cena was tremendously well done. And I'm not one of the Cena haters. I think he deserves mad props for the assault he took last night. Hell, I felt those German suplexes.
Really looking forward to Raw tonight and the follow up.

It was a good show the held my interest for most of the time. The lumberjack match was awesome. I loved how the lumberjacks failed at being lumberjacks, LOL. In 27 years as a fan I had never seen that spin on a lumberjack match. Well done. It’s always nice to see Chris Jericho lose. Stephanie-Bree was actually pretty good considering the participants. It’s the most attention I’ve paid to a womens match in about a decade. I’m not much of an Orton fan but seeing him carry Reigns through their match showed me how talented he really is. He’s come a long way in his career. I expected Lesnar to dominate Cena but WOW, that was one of the biggest one-sided ass kickings I’ve ever seen! It was beautiful. I loved when Lesnar mocked Undertaker too (although I disagree with him breaking The Streak). Real cool touch they did there. My only peeve was all the German suplexes. You’d think Lesnar could’ve thrown in some other moves, you know, a wet willy or an Indian rug burn or something. The more Lesnar beat Cena down the more I feared we were about to see the most overacted bullshit comeback in history, or, I was waiting for an Undertaker “DONG” (no Taker appearance, just a DONG, like Taker is playing mind games) followed by a Cena schoolboy for the win. I’m so relieved WWE did the right thing! See, this is why Brock Lesnar is my favorite guy ever. You'll never see him need the business, or wrestle at indy shows late into his years. So many "legends" have tarnished their legacies by doing this. Lesnar does whatever he wants for as long as he wants, dominates while doing it, then goes back home to his place in the woods and lives his life with his family.

He's an athlete, he's a business man, and he puts himself no.1 He doesn't need anyone. He doesn't get attached to anything that isn't his. That is fing awesome. Very well put. Piper and Foley are arguably the two biggest egomaniacs in wrestling history. Complete marks for themselves. They are just sad to watch or even read about their antics on the net. I think Randy Savage was a lot like Lesnar is. He was smart with his money and kept a pretty low profile the last few years of his life. He didn’t need his ego constantly fed and I always thought that was cool. Let’s just not mention that rap album. The Rock showing up out of shape and getting gassed out only a few minutes into the main event of WM is not showing respect for the business. Amen! I couldn’t believe how bad The Rock looked at WM28. He landed on his damn head taking an arm drag! He didn’t improve much by WM29 either (AKA “Neverending Battle Of The Finishers”). But back to the matter at hand, Lesnar = Chaos.
