Brock Lesnar has been criticised by select WWE fans for his part-time schedule. How dare he work limited dates for huge money, and how f*cking dare he stand mid-ring bouncing as Paul Heyman runs through promo after promo hyping his next pay-per-view match.

It's a good gig if you can get it, and the subject came up during Brock's interview on Austin's show back in 2015. Anyone hoping for some sort of apology from 'The Beast' (even a half-hearted one) would've been disappointed. He doesn't give a flying f*ck about how he's perceived online or by the rest of the locker room.

"I clock in and I clock out. What's wrong with that? I know people that do it every day. They clock in and they clock out. I do my work, I don't bother anybody. If I p*ss you off along the way, too f*cking bad."

In fairness to Lesnar, he has carved a niche for himself by working hard to build his aura. He also blasted through UFC after leaving WWE in 2004, and then returned with a harder, MMA-infused edge. Austin loved his moxy.
