10 Reasons Brock Lesnar Is The Most Hated Man In WWE
6. He Wants To Have His Cake And Eat It
Theres that scuttlebutt again (like gossip unified with Chinese whispers): that Lesnar wants to work for WWE and fight for UFC at the same time. It has the ring of truth to it: the Beast Incarnate is getting on a bit, and he simply doesnt have the well-rounded upside of a John Cena or a CM Punk. When Brock Lesnar retires from shoot fighting or worked fighting hes unlikely to be offered an agent or trainers job, and hes not got the mouth or the personality to go multimedia or Hollywood. Hed hate that, anyway. No, the only way he can safeguard his financial future is to make as much as he can right here and now. And he might well pull it off theres precedent, as TNAs Bobby Lashley runs a parallel career in MMA at Bellator. If theres anyone who can leverage Dana White and Vince McMahon against each other and come out on top, its Brock Lesnar. After all, the whole deal with the independent contractor designation is that theres not supposed to be any limitation placed upon said independent contractor as to who they work for. Its the reason why WWEs non-compete clauses arent worth the ink theyre printed with, and why WWE is wary about pursuing their alleged rights in court: the last time they tried was a decade ago, to prevent one Brock Edward Lesnar from working in Japan, and its an open secret that they would have lost had they not settled in a blind panic. More recently, both José Rodríguez and Phil Brooks have successfully challenged being tied into their contracts after leaving the company abruptly. Everyone knows that the WWE is just one whistleblower away from being investigated by the US government for failing to properly designate its performers as employees. The fact that Lesnars fully entitled to go for whatever he can get doesnt mean that there arent people that resent him for it, however. Who else gets to have their cake and eat it? You cant make good wine out of sour grapes.
