Here's a pretty funny one to end with.

When Brock Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012, he asked for a word with Drew McIntyre. No, Brock wasn't telling the big Scot that he'd beat him for the title in eight years at an empty-arena WrestleMania. He was warning him that he had to get away from the comedic 3MB gimmick as soon as he possibly could.

McIntyre told Sports Illustrated that Lesnar scratched his head and asked, "Why are you involved in this?". Playing air guitar and pretending to be a rockstar alongside Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal wasn't a spot befitting of Drew's potential - the guy had been dubbed the 'Chosen One' just a few years before.

Brock questioned what the hell WWE were thinking with 3MB, and wanted to know why McIntyre was going along with it. That, to Drew, said everything. Lesnar could see something in him even then, and thought he should get serious.
