10 Times WWE Went Too Far With Brock Lesnar
9. Why Watch?
It was a perfect in-character moment, and thus an equally excellent indictment of the show and organisation at large.
"I don't watch the show Paul, why would I watch the show?"
Why indeed?
The particular "show" in this case was the July 30th edition of Monday Night Raw, the brand he stewarded as its Universal Champion for over a year, just weeks before a blockbuster SummerSlam main event against Roman Reigns designed to finally get 'The Big Dog' over as the company's undisputed number one star.
Why would he watch the show, just to catch up on all that sh*t? That was WWE's message to its audience, delivered through a Brock Lesnar character used as much for the visual gags on the night as he was a force for helping the organisation or even himself.
That's the common misconception with these tossed-off Brock moments - he doesn't have to care for the money he's on, but his money moments will dissolve the longer the company stops showing care for why they're existing in the first place. It's why his aura has diminished along with the numbers he used to guarantee, and it's why he probably should watch the show Paul, even if a large number of us can empathise with exactly why he wouldn't.
